  1. Bugger - I was convinced I’d know everyone from that era! I’ll need a bit of time in this one! Ian Morris maybe?
  2. I’d imagine it’s a friendly given the team pic - maybe a testimonial- can’t think off hand of any match it might have been
  3. John Gemmill, Iain Ross, Gerry Britton, Eddie Forrest, Kenny Arthur, David Wilson, Andy Ross front: Manny Panther, Paul Cassidy, Gavin Rushford, Jamie Mitchell, Jean Yves Anis
  4. Definitely not the same chap as the former chairman is long deceased!
  5. Peter Shand was Chairman when Ken Bates was investing
  6. Got to know Adam pretty well and was a very likeable young man. We all know he had his issues but you couldn’t help but like him. Adam, we will miss you and hope that your family can find some comfort.
  7. Most definitely not. The Jolly (reporter) was an icon of the newspaper industry who was most respected by those who knew or worked with him.
  8. This is my specialist subject! Fred Elliot (butcher) was Ashley’s dad - Fred Gee worked at the Rovers for Annie Walker alongside Bet Lynch!
  9. Not allowed to mention anything related to Covid
  10. Likewise may I extend best wishes to each and everyone of a Thistle persuasion for 2022. The past year has proved to be one of steady progression for the club and hopefully we will continue with that in the coming 12 months. Please stay safe and enjoy the festivities!
  11. Crikey I was at that game - I’ll see if I have anything listed but I don’t think I have. It was the first of a 2 game tour - the second being a 5-0 win at Five Penny in Ness. I simply can’t remember the details of this game, except when Chic headed wide when he should have scored but just kept saying “nah I was offside!” - which he was!
  12. Today, the 20th of December 2021 Hibernian FC appointed Gary Caldwell as assistant manager. Poor Hibs!
  13. Falkirk’s last two league games at Firhill have seen them lose a combined 11-0!
  14. The ref was right. Akinola could only be reintroduced once the officials could confirm there was no bleeding - that has to be when play has stopped. He may have got a lot wrong yesterday but he was right there.
  15. Not quite! It’s a club record of six consecutive league shut outs. The current record of all matches (league and cup) is seven! However wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment it has been a fantastic effort!
  16. The PT v Hearts Jim Melrose story for me just showed why Bertie was the perfect fit for Thistle. I grew up with him as Jags manager and I loved just about every minute of it. The only part time team in the Premier League but you’d never have known. Cracking manager and cracking guy - will be very sorely missed but will be forever etched in the Thistle fabric
  17. He reffed an 18 goal thriller at Firhill a couple is seasons back! and he also referred the reserve game where Gary Fraser had a ‘moment’ - I rate him quite highly and is definitely up and coming (the 18 goal thriller was the KD Testimonial game)
  18. It was a 4-4-2 with Turner right sided and Tiff left sided - both worked attack and defence superbly - great shift by all
  19. Holt was left centre back with Foster at left back. Mayo and Holt were outstanding as a central defensive pair. Just on Kevin Holt he has become the first defender to score for two seasons! We’ve been mentioning this for ages and ages and when one finally does we are not on commentary to mention it!!
  20. The young right full back who came on was Matthew Doherty who did very well while Zander McKenzie was in midfield (14) whose pass to young Gospel set up the winner.
  21. No there was no warning - it was the one and only time he spoke to him
  22. If I remember correctly the referee, Martin Clark, insisted Gerry left his position in the “stand” and go over to the Main Stand and sit there but not in the dug out!!
