  2. Dufc Highlights

    in Main Jags forum

    Posted

    Hi

     

    Just back from holiday and I am looking to each the highlights of the fantastic 3-0 victory against United.

     

    Thistle always get a victory whilst I'm away on holiday!!!!

     

    I can only find 1 minute highlights of the goals on YouTube. Does anyone know where to find better / longer highlights. I can remember you used to get 5 or 6 mins of highlights on the bbc/ YouTube.

     

    Anyone help?

  5. Match Day Experience

    Having taken in a game in Germany, thy do it better than anyone.

     

    Just outside the turnstiles thy had tons of stalls all selling beer, hotdogs an club merchandise. There was even a live band playing there too.

     

    After the game ended, everyone stayed on to take in the atmosphere outside the ground. We may have left around 2 hours after FT having taken in a fair few beers n hotdogs.

     

    Smashing atmosphere. For the regulars, I understood it to be an almost social habit that they all stayed on after the match.

     

    I know st mirren trailed something similar last season which I think was successful. Something that could maybe set up outside the jackie husband stand?????

    U can see what ur saying.

     

    Sat next to a guy last season who at least a half dozen times yelled that the ref was a black *******, referring to the fact he was dressed in black. The ref was indeed white.

     

    Although it technically wasn't racism, I did feel slightly uncomfortable with his shouts.

    Science Park facilities are outstanding. I've thought for years that this would be the ideal place fot Thistle to train. Really frustrating that Glasgow Uni prefer to lease it out to Kilmarnock. Presumably someone within the university is a Killie fan... (Maybe when they go bust, we'll get it then...!)

     

    Hey

     

    I work at the science park sport complex so can throw some more light on this.

     

    Killie have been using this complex full time for a good 7 or 8 years now. During this time, thistle have made a few enquiries to train there but only a day here and a day there. Finances obviously dictated this.

     

    Now they have the finances, they are keen to train here full time. Problem being, we don't have enough resources to accommodate both clubs. Killie basically renewed their contract for this year march/ April time. We obviously had to wait until promotion was clinched to be financially able to afford these facilities. By that time it was too late.

     

    As killie have Been there so long, it's just standard practice for the science park to offer them first refusal to renew first before offering our facilities out to other clubs.

     

    For what's its worth, thistle have struck a deal to train at the science park every Tuesday, so they do train there, just not on a full time basis.

     

    Although myself being a fan, I would love to rub shoulders with them on a daily basis

    Really pissed off with a few guys behind me last night, who at full time were yelling that thistle were a disgrace, an embarrassment then said an apology should be put on the website for our performance.

     

    The only embarrassment last night was those guys shouting that crap.
