Sorry, but I could never ever support DU ! My third most-despised team.
I only have 2 levels
Thistle & Scotland
Every other team in the world

I suppose we’re all Dundee United fans on Friday. If they win, matters not a jot what happens on Friday, barring an 11 goal swing in Airdrie’s favour…
You’ve done it now. 11 goal swing in Airdrie’s favour this weekend.
We’re doomed …. doomed

So disappointing. For the last few weeks the match day thread has been getting started much later, often in the last 24 hours. The result have improved dramatically over this time.
We will see what happens now, but I fear the worst.

I will defer to your superior knowledge as regards Airdrie. It does seem surprising as it is very much part of the central Lowlands. You come off the M8 and there are no particularly steep climbs. The stadium itself lies down in a dip. I suppose it demonstrates just how low lying all our stadiums are.
Just wondering about St Johnstone. There are a few hills in the motorway north of Stirling. But then again, you would have a fairly level drive from there to the Tay estuary!
Maybe if we moved Firhill north across the Nolly to the top of the hill in Ruchill Park we could get into the Guinness Book of Records.
According to wikipedia it is the highest - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excelsior_Stadium
Always surprises me that West Brom is the highest in England

East and west? Peterhead and Stranraer (again)?
I’ve not checked, but I suspect that Berwick would be the most Easterly where we have played

Excelsior in Airdrie is the highest in the top 4 leagues

I was judging him from what I’ve seen in the last couple of seasons where he has looked solid. I think he is a better player now than when he was with us.

Banff as it must be about a similar latitude as Buckie. We played Deveronvale there in the Cup
Banff is 3/4 of a mile south of Buckie, so the ground is also going to be north of Dingwall

The Lowland League is a Senior League; i.e., part of the senior setup
Is the Highland league also "Senior" ?

I could've just edited my post to "senior clubs" but I thought I'd give you some latitude.
Oh! And I haven't checked but I hope Stranraer is further south than Annan or Gretna.
Stranraer is the most southerly, by a margin, but might not be a senior club for much longer

Is that Danny Devine who played or us in the premier league
The very same.

It looks like it on a wee map, but I think we need VAR to confirm.
There’s something like 0.1 of a degree of latitude in it whatever that means.
The town centre of Buckie is at 57.6774 N. Dingwall is at 57.5953 N which makes a difference of 0.0823 degrees of latitude.
One degree of latitude equates to 69 miles, so that means that Buckie town centre is 5.6787 miles further north than Dingwall. Even allowing for the grounds being out side of the town centres, I think we can conclude tha Victoria Park in Buckie is further north than Victoria Park in Dingwall.

They must have got a wedge from last year’s cup final. I really thought they would be contenders.

It could come down to where the grounds are relative to the town centre. Certainly very close on the map I have

Fitzpatrick has scored away at both the most northerly and southerly based Scottish clubs we have faced in competitive football.
We've never played Elgin, right?
Is Buckie further north than Dingwall ?

Looking at Mojo for the 82/83 season and he bagged 22 in the league, but 35 in total. That means 13 from cup games which is very impressive. That must be a record for competitive non-league games in a season

Having to call a VAR review on myself here. My brain was clearly scrambled when making my predictions and I began on the basis that A is for Aberdeen! Having got that wrong I went for the opposite result H in the 2nd game, on the basis that overdog v underdog has to be the opposite of underdog v overdog.
Therefore I cannot in all good conscience hold on to 14 points gained by fraud, error or whatever. Sporting integrity demands that these be forfeited. Apologies for causing you extra work.
However, similar to the scenario playing out at the foot of the English premiership I cannot let my fellow contestants go into the last round of fixtures not knowing where they stand.
I think that I can still avoid relegation even without these extra points.
I don’t think it is really an issue. You would still need snookers to catch elevenone

Agree they would be decent signings. Queen’s Park have still not currently secured their status yet in the championship and not sure those 2 players would stay if they went down
If ICT went down I’d be interested in Ridgers, Devine or Samuel’s.
Controversial, but all our keepers are out of contract and previously I would have been happy to say goodbye to the lot of them, but starting to think that Mitchell might not be the worst we could do.-

He’s already played for us this season has he not?
Genuinely don’t know the rules, but don’t think it’s a stupid question. I’m sure clubs have had to extend loans (maybe us, rings a vague bell) to enable players to play in play offs.Anyway, please don’t get your knickers in a twist, just wondering…
I can’t imagine that he has much motivation in playing for Thistle again, particularly not to just sit on the bench. Even if we could get him back, I’d leave him where he is.

Just watching Casualty and one of the doctors asked for a BBG. Is there no limit to the man’s talents

Moving McBeth to defence and Nielsen to midfield has been a master stroke.

Not forgetting Brownlie who was superb in the playoffs

History says that statistics become meaningless when it comes to Thistle. The more unlikely a thing is the more likely Thistle will do it.
Statistically what were the chances of 4-0 ?
