    Was at the game in '75 and, unless I've gone completely gaga, most definitely Kennedy was the goalie. 

    it was definitely Kennedy in goals for the 5-1 pumping as I distinctly remember him swinging round the post after letting another one in ... went outside and played fitba in the street ... pure angry wee seven year old I was that day :censor:

     I can see the newspaper report already ...

    Middle aged angry man, masquerading as a former PTFC bandy-legged winger, escorted out of a ladies match at McDairmid Park for repeated foul mouthed tirades and being cargoed up to the eyeballs :whistling:

    It will no doubt still have to be regulated ticket wise i suppose in some way as we've been out fir nearly  2 years - can't have the place filling up with filth from the OF who are choking to see a game and come to see us as yhey can't get into their dens of lard

    never won it in more years than I care to remember however see it as a contribution to the club - would rather they have it than the lottery - would also consider contributing to something else for the online punters if they could sort it out

    You make a valid point. I just know that had Dumbarton not been able to field a side the another night I'd have felt kinda cheated only been awarded 2 points. In turn, and I generalise, that possible/probable(?) loss of a 3rd point could make a club's following game meaningless. Of course, as you could point out, under other circumstances an unfancied club picking up 3 points and +3 goal difference could make other ties academic.

    Anyone know what that renown double act Duckworth & Lewis are up to these days? :)

    a cricketing aficionado! … need a degree to work out the required run rate!

    Would that not unfairly deal with the “winning” team ? 

    there's no guarantees that the team benefiting from the forfeited tie would actually have won the tie if it was played - so 2 points would seem more sensible and balanced in context

    From the postmatch interview it seems that almost whatever happens next we will be unlikely to progress in the League Cup, given that other teams were handed 3-0 victories because of Covid, whereas we actually had to play and win, but by less than that rather generous (non)score. Who decided on precisely 3-0, and why?

    Call me paranoid, but it seems that as a club we have always been particularly more prone than others when it comes to suffering as a result of fairly arbitrary (or are they?) decisions by blazers. These can be traced right back to trying to get admission to the league in the 19th century, losing out (relegated) in the league reconstruction in the 70s, failure of a blazer acting as referee to give us a stonewall penalty at Tannadice near the end of the play-off game there, changing the seating capacity/groundsharing rules to allow ICT to take our place in top flight, the fiasco of last year's decision to relegate use despite us having a game in hand..... and now this "Sorry but other teams won 3-0" diktat. No they didn't. They didn't even play!

    Rant over. Back to beer.

    There should maybe be a case made for awarding only two points for a nullified tie and no advantage to the goal difference - just a thought

  24. Vaccination side-effects?

    I got two x Moderna - first in April was uneventful apart from a tender arm at the site of the jab.

    Second jab was in June and it kicked off with the sore arm but next day I was groggy, clammy, drowsy and feverish (toggling between hot & cold all day) but decided to go in to work. It was the wrong decision - and colleagues commented openly that I looked like sh*t all day. Left 15 minutes early and felt like I was going to fall asleep at the wheel on he M8 on the way home (not good) - had to exit the motorway at Anderson and park in bothwell street to go for a walk and get some air. Drove home through back streets with two more stops. Ball buster of a headache. Went straight to bed at 5 and woke at 9 feeling ok but by 11pm symptoms we’re back again. By morning most symptoms were reduced so went into work.

    In hindsight I should have taken two days off. Wife had similar issues with second Moderna jab which lasted 3 days. Daughter who works in a care home had 2xPfizer and felt ok apart from a sore arm. Son had his first Moderna jab recently and was grubbed for 48 hours - he noted that others at work who had Moderna were similarly shafted.
