  1. I'm also against the signing of Jim Hamilton.
  2. Away kit is great. Home kit is shite. Hopefully it looks decent from the stands but in the close up photo of Bannigan it's pretty horrendous. Collar is the main thing wrong with it.
  3. We'll be signing another central defender, I wouldn't worry about not going for Hendry.
  4. So a good season *in the Premiership*, recently. He's 26, as I said can play across the front line, and while I'm not denying he's been a flop at Rangers, I wouldn't write him off as a result of that. I think if he moves to a Premiership club he'll be a success, and if the finances are right then we should be enquiring. In my opinion. Re: Meekings, all valid points.
  5. I said months ago that we should sign Meekings, but there are rumours that he's talking to Dundee. We should be looking at a season-long loan for Michael O'Halloran. Rangers want him away, he did well at St. Johnstone and can play in a number of forward positions. Would he come to us? Not sure but he'll be looking for regular first team action. Could see him returning to St. Johnstone but we should enquire, IMO. Hearts want Sammon out, hope to God that Archie is not interested.
  6. "Inter 2 - 0 Celtic: I’d rather have played Partick says boss" Surely Celtic won't be taking another friendly if the manager doesn't want it? Hibs away's a cracking start.
  7. Was posted on the Facebook page 'Old Partick Thistle Pictures' in September last year, and yes it's as tremendous as you remember.
  8. I'll miss three of the five matchdays due to a wedding and a holiday, just hope one of those is the bye matchday! It looks like St Mirren are building a very capable squad so they would probably be the 'one to avoid' from Pot 2, if there is such a thing, although they'd be coming to Firhill. I've got a few grounds to tick off from Pot 3 so hopefully we get someone like Annan Athletic or Stranraer away on a matchday I can make.
  9. Will be favourite just because his name has been all over the news - I just cannot see Archie taking that job even if they do want him.
  10. I'd get McCarthy in from the start for the next three matches. Also give McLaughlin some minutes. Is Penrice back now that East Fife's season is over? I'd replace Booth with him too. Not too convinced by Nisbet anytime I've seen him so not too bothered whether we get him on again at all.
  11. Ticket website isn't letting me buy a ticket. Anyone else having problems?
  12. Matches being shown on TV doesn't affect how much money you get, it's equally shared regardless. Glad we haven't been shafted, and have rightfully got both cheeks at home. Unfortunately I can't make Hearts away which is the one I was looking forward to most! Probably won't go to St. Johnstone again, so Rangers will likely be my final Saturday match and final away match of the season.
  13. Aberdeen were all over Rangers in the second half, up until the goal went in. 3-0 was a complete freak result - but they'll take confidence from it. Our confidence must be at an all-time high, however. Hopeful of the win.
  14. No idea I'm afraid. Couldn't say with certainty if it was my first, but the first I can properly remember is the horrific 1-3 defeat vs. Ayr United, May '98... First football match I properly remember being at was Scotland 2-0 Austria, April '97.
  15. We'll probably need two central defenders. Would be fantastic if we could retain Keown somehow though. Would also be happy to see Meekings come in from Inverness CT.
  16. Speaking of great saves at McDiarmid - Stuckmann made an incredible save at the top corner there this season, in the 2-1 last second win, that wasn't included in highlights because the attacker was offside. Great save from Cerny.
  17. So gutted I never went along! Tremendous again Thistle. We've been fantastic in 2017 and let's hope it continues on Saturday. There's no chance Killie will beat Celtic, so we've safely made top six, but 5th is within our sights. Unbelievable.
  18. I see Hamilton's win as a positive for us. Aberdeen were on a tremendous run of form, now that's suddenly been halted. Admittedly I wouldn't want the players to adopt my fairly complacent attitude but I'm not particularly bothered about Hamilton and ICT picking up unexpected wins recently, as I can't see either of them catching us.
  19. Was going to stick £40 on Ayr but got a little greedy and opted to split it with £25 on Ayr and £15 on Ayr -1. Ended up shitting it in the 86th minute following on Sky Bet and seeing wave after wave of "Raith dangerous attack". I decided to cash out for a total loss of £1.48 instead of hanging on for what would have been a £5 profit. What an evening.
  20. I'd be happy to come away from Dens Park with a draw and no injuries. If there's any risk to Dumbuya then go with Elliott but otherwise the same team and formation from Saturday would do for me. We're becoming a side that's difficult to break down, which is pleasing. Two big tests ahead though.
  21. Celtic away then Celtic home were the worst draws we could've got, Aberdeen away the third worst. So a very tough draw but I still have hope we can do it, or at least take them to a replay. One win and we're at Hampden. I didn't go to the semi in 2002 so am absolutely desperate for this. Come on Jags.
  22. Archie kind of ****** up the previous year too (vs. Inverness CT) by bringing Lyle Taylor back to the club but not starting him or Doolan, instead going with Stevenson. I was raging for months after that decision. Still not completely over it, to be honest.
  23. I think we're more in need of a winger than a striker, to be honest.
  24. 18 players not including the three injured or any of the youngsters (except Nisbet as he's made 10 appearances for us). Cerny - Scully - Ridgers Dumbuya - Elliott Devine - Keown Lindsay Booth Barton - Osman Welsh - Bannigan Edwards - Fraser Lawless - Amoo Erskine Doolan - Azeez - Nisbet I wouldn't be surprised to see us pick up a free agent in the forwards area as we look a little light.
