The Cuddly Toi

jimmy boyle was a very small full back we also once had a miniscule wee winger who I think came from Airdrie but whose name escapes me at the moment

The third Thistle Connection is Amy McDonald, who sang Flower of Scotland, and has carnal connections to an ex Thistle player

Three Thistle Connections to Scotland's last home game Thick as Thieves is correct with Graham Dorrans Sunnylaw Jag is correct with Charlie Adams The third one has a different type of 'connection'

1) Woops, I was there in Genoa and was so overcome at seeing two former Thistle players in a winning Scotland team that I seem to have convinced myself that they both scored 2) I didn't mean to ask for the three Thistle connections in the last Home International. For clarification I'm asking about the three Thistle connections to Scotland's last home game

Question :- what are the three Partick Thistle connections to Scotland's last home International ?

Robert Fleck played for us on loan from Rangers Later in his career he scored for Scotland in the Italy World Cup v Sweden, same match as Wee Mo scored in

He obviously still has a soft spot for Thistle. He was in the Corporate Hospitality at Firhill before the Ramsdens Cup Final, and they got him to draw the raffle.

This is puerile stuff Charlie. He was a Thistle fan long before Save the Jags and travelled to most away games on the Milngavie bus. He was one of four who established Save the Jags and for that he should always receive our gratitude. As Chairman he was not good at dealing with the fans, but despite the vituperation from people like you he still goes to most away games and he takes a Hospitality Table at most home games. To say he's not a Thistle fan is crass stupidity, and you know it.

Have we got lots of folk travelling big distances for this game? My son just flew in from Brno in the Czech Republic

This was our 3rd game in 7 days. The team were tired and boy did it show. Misplaced passes, hospital balls, inability to control the ball, failure to win the 50/50s, headers lost to pygmies, poorly timed tackles, all classic signs of tired players. And Raith realised we'd be tired and buzzed around like mad, creating a lot of chances but spurning all of them. Bizarrely, the empty goal that Doolan missed was the easiest chance of the first half. After the sending off the ten men really got stuck in and finally started spraying passes around. Bannigan created but failed to take an excellent scoring opportunity. Until then only Erskine had shown any sort of sparkle. Raith fell out of the game until the last five minutes, when we survived some scary moments. The Thistle Fans were magnificent. They knew the lads were tired and didn't dwell on the mistakes and errors, but cheered and chanted and sang and encouraged. And in my opinion it was that encouragement that kept the players running and covering and tackling and blocking until the final whistle. So well done the players and well done the fans

I have one I don't want. PM me with your address and I'll post it to you for free Cheers

As I understand it, the Thistle Fans being bussed through from Hospitality at Firhill, the Thistle fans booking in for Livingston's own hospitality deal, and all the PTFC Officials and players and their guest are to be seated in the Main Stand, which is not among the areas allocated to either club. So all these people will be in addition to the 5,200 tickets going on sale to the fans

You're wrong Honved. He used to be in my Bowling Club and he's definitely a Jag but it's years since he was a regular attender

One of the reasons the police agreed to this deal is precisely BECAUSE the shed is at the opposite end of the ground from the away fans!

Original first verse of McNamara's Band as sung by my dad's family on Saturday nights after a few bevvies. During the chorus they would all leap about the kitchen playing imaginary trombones Oh my name is McNamara i'm the leader of the band And though we're small in numbers we're the best band in the land Tennesee Hennessy tickles the flute my word he's something grand A credit to old Ireland boys is McNamara's Band so a few simple wee alterations could give you Oh his name is McNamara he's the leader of our band And though we're small in numbers we're the best fans in the land Flannigan Bannigan stick in the boot, my word they're something grand A credit to old Glasgow boys is McNamara's Band

Personally, I tried to get into the meeting by handing over three empty lemonade bottles, but was refused entry. This totally scunnered me, as there's nowhere that says you couln't get in by handing over three empty lemonade bottles

Jeezy weezy, if two top referees can't agree on whether a pitch is playable or not, then what hope is there for Scottish Football! To make matters worse, when we were turned away we could see people playing football on the pitch

I got my winnings via a cheque in the post, and it came within a week of the draw being made

Two 'players' I remember with absolute horror (apart from Billy Paxton) were Billy Abercombie and Tony Sheppard, both of whom may only have played one game.
