    Ā 

    Although referee Walsh didnā€™t affect the outcome he remains consistently ridiculous.

    Was their first goal not from a corner that was given despite the ball hitting a Livi player on the way out? Our players were very upset with that decision at the time. Yes we have to defend the corner better but if he gets the correct decision there's no corner to defend.

    Although on the other hand I didn't see much wrong with their disallowed goal and another ref might have given the handball claim on Milne just before their winner.

  2. Goal difference is the first tiebreaker if it comes to that , full list belowĀ 

    If clubs are level on points at the end of the group stage, the criteria for separating them is 1) goal difference, 2) goals scored, 3) away goals scored, 4) matches won, 5) away matches won, 6) head-to-head record, 7) drawing of lots.

    Thankfully for us the point means we are still masters of our own destiny next Saturday.

    Only if Dundee Utd beat Falkirk on Tuesday which I would not say is a given. Anything else and we're relying on other results, either Falkirk to drop points vs Peterhead or 9 points (and whatever goal difference) being enough to be one of the best 3 runners up.

    Too many permutations for the latter, but if we'd won the shoot out today then a win on Saturday to put us on 10 points would almost guarantee us getting through.Ā

    You canā€™t get a percentage of a free transfer.

    I stand corrected. This is covered by Article 20 and Annex 4 of the FIFAĀ  Regulations on the Status and transfer of players. It is a fixed amount, no mater if a fee is involved or not. Here is a summary

    In simple terms, training compensation is due to the playerā€™s training club(s) when they sign their first professional contract or each time they are transferred until the end of the calendar year of their 23rd birthday. For agents, training compensation is something that you must understand as it is relevant when discussing transfer fees and will need to be accounted for in negotiations every time your client transfers up until the age of 23. For the calendar years of the ages between the playerā€™s 12th birthday and 15th birthday, the training club will be owed a sum per year at the rate of a category 4 club. However, for the calendar years of their 16th birthday until the calendar year of their 21st, the training compensation owed depends upon the category of the club where he is signing his first professional contract or is transferred to. You need to learn and understanding the categorisation of training compensation clubs as outlined below:

    Confederation Category I Category II Category III Category IV
    AFC Ā  $40,000 $10,000 $2,000
    CAF Ā  $30,000 $10,000 $2,000
    CONCACAF Ā  $40,000 $10,000 $2,000
    CONMEBOL $50,000 $30,000 $10,000 $2,000
    OFC Ā  $30,000 $10,000 $2,000
    UEFA ā‚¬90,000 ā‚¬60,000 ā‚¬30,000 ā‚¬10,000

    Ā 

    The training compensation is due to the clubs within 30 days after the player is registered. If the club has folded due to bankruptcy or otherwise and therefore no longer exists, the training compensation can be paid to the national association instead on the condition that it is solely for reinvestment into youth football in the country.Ā 

    If Cameron is heading for an English Premier League side, that would be ā‚¬90k coming our way.

    That doesn't seem right, or more likely im reading it incorrectly. It would mean every "free" transfer under the age of 23 actually costs at least 10k euros per year?Ā

    I donā€™t think itā€™s even as meaningful as that. Weā€™re expected to believe that because separate legal entities did those things, there was no conflict or overlap of interest.

    Itā€™s a very similar line to the whole ā€œThat was Stewart McGregor, Thistle fan, notĀ Stewart McGregor of Ark Sportā€ line that was spun earlier .

    (probably because both lines will have been spun by one of the Jacqui Lows, though who knows which one)

    We're going to have some great crowds this season, there's at least 3 Stewart McGregors and 2 Jacqui Lows

    Ā 

    I did slightly misread it, it is a maximum of 3 between the same clubs. The maximum total for a single club is 8, reducing to 6 over the next 2 years.

    The point I was making is that with OF being limited in the number they can loan out, there will be fewer loan players available.

    Ā 

    Edit- It might well kill off the loan before you buy deals.

    These are cross-border rules to start with (although it does say domestic rules are to be brought in line within 3 years) and that players 21 and under or club-trained are exempt.

    It's designed to stop the likes of Chelsea (who had 48 players out on loan in 2018-19) and Man City stockpiling players, loaning them out for years at a time and then selling them.Ā 

  7. One for the stattos, if this game finishes 1-1:

    Since the leagues went to 4 meetings a season have we ever a) drawn all 4 games with the same team in a season, and b) had the same score in all 4 games vs a team in a season

    I think we drew all 3 with Killie in the top 6 season (which seems about 27 years ago now) but didn't play them a 4th time.Ā

    I believe you can have 5 loans per seasonĀ  Ā , but only have 4 at any one time.

    No, it's 4 domestic and unlimited non-domestic at any one time.

    Last year (sorry for bringing some of these names up) we had Gordon, Jeffries, Scobbie, McMillan, Hazard, and Anderson domestically and Mansell from outside Scotland.

    Jeffries and Scobbie had to go back before we could sign some of the others.

  9. Higginbotham from that Motherwell game to the end of that season was probably the best player I've seen for Thistle in easily 20 years, probably going back to the Lambie team of the mid 90s and even then there's an argument he was better, we would 100% have finished 11th - and could well have lost the playoff to Accies-Ā if not for him. The other season and two thirds with us and everything after he was unproductive but I'd still have to give him his place in the team

    Cerny

    SOD <RCB> Lindsay ATS

    Osman

    Lawless......................................Higginbotham

    Erskine

    Taylor Doolan

    Ā 

    Unconventional formation to shoehorn in a couple of players. Could easily accept McDonald in place of Taylor given how vital he was last season and if I was playing a more conventional 4-2-3-1 then the pre 2016 version of Banzo would be the other midfielder.

    For the right centre back I could make and dismiss cases for all of Frans, Keown, Balatoni, Muirhead, even Archie tho his best days were clearly behind him this decade. Barton only as sweeper in a 3. Probably go for big Aero given his performances in the 2012/13 season, and his penalty against Hearts after he'd missed the one in the cup final, nearly took the back of the net away.

  10. The only one out of the whole squad I can make a positive case for keeping is Cole purely down to his set pieces. Although we have had a number of guys who start off well on these and then defences (or even our own players) get used to them and the usefulness drops. The two off the bar vs Montrose and Alloa were better efforts than the one that went in on Saturday, and the first few corners vs Alloa were causing problems though this tailed off second half.

    Assume this is vs Morton, 97/98. Originally thought Accies but that would have been too much of a colour clash. Farrell and Gaughan?

    Right match but no-one has identified the scorer yet.Ā  I have more than a passing interest.Ā  I took the photie!

    Too easy- Chico. The foul conceded would have been a red card for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity from about a season after that game until about 2 years ago when the "double jeopardy" rule stopped. Not sure it would have made a difference to the end result though!

  12. You get a reduced parachute payment in the 2nd year. We got Ā£500k last year and Ā£250k this as we finished 11th and County who finished below us got Ā£300k, they would have got a further Ā£125k if they, er, hadn't actually gone straight back up by not f*cking everything up like we did. Assume Caley would be similar in parachute money to County so only Ā£125k last year.

    I wonder if it all hinged on the Ayr game, had theĀ 2 sendingsĀ  off been avoided then it looked like we would haveĀ won and that might have given something to build on.Ā  If I recallĀ rightly we might have baggedĀ the now Dundee UtdĀ manager.Ā Ā  Ā Still that's all academic now.Ā Ā Ā Ā 

    Interesting to see how the posters on this forum as parochial as supporters of other clubs, is it really crucial that there is a Thistle connection?Ā Ā Ā  Someone who meets the criteria isĀ what matters.Ā Ā Ā  Stevie Clarke was a left-field choice for Killie and I don't think had a Killie connection.

    He grew up a Kilmarnock fan and didn't / doesn't need the money after his career down south. Not sure there's a Thistle fan in a similar position in management.

    Mc Call and Doolan. Please.

    Doolan wouldn't be able to play until January if this did happen.

    Suspect it'll be a crowd-pleasing appointment given the division of the fans recently therefore McCall / Lennon or maybe at an absolute push Stephen Craigan - yes he's inexperienced at 1st team level but so were McNamara and Archibald (both of their ships have sailed imo).Ā 

    Some of the other names on the McBookie "next manager odds" listĀ would keep you awake at night- Jim McIntyre or Mark McGhee ffs.
