Such sad news but also thankful that Robert chose Thistle (or did Thistlechoose him!) and did so much for so many years. Legend is much overused these days but is most fitting for Mr Reid.

According to TTA, sadly Charlie died in Australia around 2004 in his mid 50s. http://www.thethistlearchive.net/charlie-smith

It will go quiet until we win or lose a few games on the bounce & be resurrected by those saying the appointment was visionary or a disaster depending on the results.

Memories of the 1st division champions in our centenary year. I like it.

Because that's how the recruitment process works as I'm quite sure you know. Graham was offered & he rejected it...hardly strange if Falkirk offered him more money as a player.

Why do you doubt it? Im sure all the candidates would have had a job spec in clouding reporting lines and key performance indicators before they were interviewed so they can weigh up the pros and cons of the role.

To the Friday night...apparently at the request of both clubs. Wonder what's on at meadowbank on the Saturday?

Reverse the fixture!

Agree, to me its like buying a sweepstakefor the Derby or Grand National but not expectingto win (nice though it would be!). Maybe more 'priceless' prizes like invitation to training sessions, travel with the team, match tickets (transferable if the winner is a ST holder)...

Congratulations to the three that topped the poll and commiserations to the others. To fill the vacancy it would seem sensible to co opt Davie Brown until the next round of elections.

I assume he meant he would find it difficult to step back into the Thistle dressing room...I.e. go back to being a player, not head coach or player/head coach

Think I saw May signed permanently at Livi

Happy to see any of the teams with plastic pitches relegated perm 2 from 3...

Odds on the handover being completed after the honeymoon? 😀

I'm assuming he will identify targets (recruitment) the SD will be responsible for dealing with agents, negotiating the contracts etc. As far as playing style I see it as a shared responsibility with Wilson setting the overall plan ant the Academy coach tasked with coaching/training to the remit and the SD doing oversight to see the plan is being implemented.
