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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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
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)
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!!
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.
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!!
