  1. I'll play MerryHell as well but it's time for a goalfest... 6 points for us Thistle 0-2 Falkirk Falkirk 0-4 Thistle Falkirk 0-6 Thistle Is anyone else enjoying the half price Japanese Sushi at the moment by the way?
  2. Just 3 more goals to equal the career total for Dunfermline Centre Forward Buchanan!!!
  3. What's the contractual position here? Would they have to pay a fee and would we be in line for a slice?
  4. QUOTE The SPL chief executive conceded that most football fans, and many players and managers, would prefer a larger top flight. "I think there is no doubt that, if you ask most supporters what they prefer, a bigger league playing once home and away is what they would want," he said. END QUOTE How many businesses survive that so blatantly ignore the wishes of their customers? Are these people listening to the verbal diarrhea that they they espouse? It is no wonder that attendances continue to fall; never mind Catch 22, the lunatics are running the asylum. Idiots!
  5. Dunfermline were very unlucky against their SPL opponents yesterday clearly having benefited from a footballing Master Class lesson at Firhill. St Johnstone lost to Aberdeen 1-0 in August and then beat them by a Zander Diamond own goal in the 83rd minute the last time they met so there is nothing in it there. Ipsofacto we stand to beat them by a couple of goals on recent form subject to retaining the proverbial bottle and the law of billy bunter averages. Then again, if my auntie had a c@ck she'd be my uncle. 'mon the Jags!!!
  6. Once again M'Lady is spot on. Football is a game of rules and these arbitrary arrangements fly in the face of common sense. There is nothing new in all of this with clubs like Dundee, Motherwell and Gretna having given us plenty to discuss and for the SFL to agree a way forward in the past. Deciding on an arbitrary number of points leaves too much of the decision to emotion rather than playing by the rules (Ref; "I know this is your second yellow card but your team's trailling by three goals so can stay on the pitch"). This is like being sent to jail but told that you have five months to escape the cuffs by wriggling free and we won't chase you if you shout 'in den(s park) one, two three'. The SFL need to set out their policy for the future then
  7. Gordon Chisholm on George Knight... “He’s a nice guy and down to earth but they all got blinded by Calum Melville’s money.” Whoever the Jags Trust nominate to sit with the BOD will need many of the qualities described throughout this thread but most of all they will need the support of the trust, it's members and jags fans. Without that they will not have the mandate nor the confidence to stand up and say what they think and what they think the average fan would be saying if they were in the room at that time. They also have to have the freedom to report to the trust, as their representative, exactly what is being discussed and agreed about the future of the club that we all fund. It is a thankless task and one where the bearer is likely to feel as welcome as the very unwelcome thing in a spacesuit and again that is why this role can only be tasked to someone of immense character and fortitude - forget business acumen and an entrepreneurial spirit this role needs someone with a tough skin and an understanding that you can't please all of the people all of the time but you must represent their views as truthfully and honestly and without personal bias as is humanly possible. It's not a popularity contest for Mr/s Nice Guy.
  8. Very funny Willjag. He could end up being responsible for taking more points off Dundee single handed off the park than the whole team has managed on the park in 2 seasons! Agent Harkins - still scoring for the jags and still welcome to score with the wives!!!
  9. Are you confessing to something here BJ (is your work in the Clydebank area?)? ;-)
  10. Alex O'Hara was pure class for me but I remember him taking pelters from the Shed (could it have been his background that flavoured the criticism?). Kenny Watson didn't seem to expose any raw nerves and always put in a full shift and half for Thistle every game when Rangers had decided he was done. I admired his professionalism, vision and immense talent.
