Not true. Newfoundland voluntarily relinquished its Independence when it ran out of money

Rough, Niven, Walker, Fox in that order are the best Thistle keepers I have seen. But yes, Fox doesn't really command his box.

It also goes some way towards atoning for that dubious 10-1 defeat at East End Park in 1959, when the Pars had to win by a barrowload to avoid relegation. A weird result if ever there was one. I've often wondered whether it wasn't some kind of "brown envelope" result.
it was

George Niven (always took time to sign my and my pals autograph books after the game.)
Neil Duffy
Davie McParland
Sandy Brown

For me , with (dis)honourable mentions to the Dick, and DJ there is a clear winner in my 30+ yrs watching the Jags.....step forward Sandy Clark.
Took a team with one league defeat (in the game before he was appointed away at McDiarmid) to winning 2 of the next 17. Included in that shambles was a 5-4 Hogmanay humping from Albion Rovers ffs....despite being 2 up after 3 mins and also leading 4-2 as I recall.
Archie showing up pretty well so far as stats below show (great site for the statto's amongst us!)

According to that site Bryce is one of our top ten best ever managers (% games won), well ahead of the likes of Mcparland, Auld and Lambie

Obviously all our opinions are coloured by our own personal memories, making every choice here one from within the last twenty years. But surely we must have had some bloaters back in the day?
no, "back in the day" the records are all pretty good (with the exception of Scot Symon, who was a decent enough man)
George Easton 1903–1929 Scottish Cup (1920–21) Donald Turner 1927–1947 David Meiklejohn 1947–1959 3rd in the Scottish League (1947–48 & 1953–54) Willie Thornton 1959–1968 3rd in the Scottish League (1962–63) Scot Symon 1968–1970 Davie McParland 1970–1974 League Cup (1971), Division Two (1970–71) Bertie Auld 1974–1980 Division One (1975–76)
The above (pasted from wiki) doesnt even tell the full story - Scottish Cup final under Turner and 3 League Cup finals under MeikleJohn. Bertie Auld had us finish 5th a couple of times in the Premier Division.
No there is no doubt about it - in one hundered and thirty seven years, Dick Campbell stands supreme!

For the grevious harm he did to the club,
for his delusions of adequacy,
for his arrogance and contempt for Thistle fans
for being a complete tosser of a man,
it has to be
Dick Campbell
DJ was a joke
Sandy Clarke totally lost the dressing room
Collins, Bryce etc werent up to it. Mcveigh was unlucky
But no one amost killed the Jags the way that Campbell did.
I'll never forgive that man

If the original post isn't a deliberate wind-up then the poster is to be pitied for his ignorance

I know it makes me a bad person, but I do not wish him well

I see Kenny Richey is back in jail again. I miss the old ding dongs that used to go on on this forum about Kenny. He was certainly a cause celebre for a few. Rather disappointed his supporters once he was freed I suspect.
-
I know it makes me a bad person but I sure grudge this fat dumb pair their squillions. Couldnt they have done something more worthwhile with their windfall than make wee Eck, the Dear Leader, even more smug?
-
I've been thinking that myself. The Celtic fans have clearly had enough of Lennon. The Celtic board are unlikely to want to splash out big time, so unfortunately Jackie must be a stomg candidate if we keep doing well.

1955 Glasgow Cup Final Just turned 3 years old. Thistle 2 Rangers 0
First games I properly remember were in the glorious season of 62-63 when we were top of the league for a while.

Seems Ryan has quite a lot in common with Gareth Barry.
-
the very laws of time and space seemed as if they had been suspended that day. When we went 4-0 it seemed like anything was possible. If the Martians had landed in the middle of the pitch at that point I wouldn't have been any more surprised than I already was

Sorry if I'm being dim but how do you get to other than "A" in the player index?

Donnelly had a poor game tonight but if that's all you can post you're a waste of space on here.
Not a total waste of space mind.
Cheers. I thought I'd leave it others to post on the game as a whole but that Donnelly's performance was worth a topic on its own. I normally don't think Donnelly is worth a place in the team but watching him from behind the goal brought a whole new dimension to his laziness, his lack of finishing ability and his general tendency to slow things up rather than be positive. Given his coaching role, I think his presence on the field has a negative effect on some of the players.
-
How on earth was Donnelly still on the pitch at the end of that game? A total waste of space. Should never have started in the first place and certainly should have been subbed long before the end.
Apart from that, quite enjoyed tonight. We should finish the job at Firhill

I went there just hoping that we'd have one goal to cheer. By the time the 4th went in after 30 minutes it felt like the very laws of time and space had been suspended. What a day! Will never forget how it felt.
