I'm going to stick my head above the parapit here.
There's nothing wrong with half-time entertainment. Whether it's a guy with a guitar singing his latest THISTLE song, the Texstyle World Pipe Band, fans involved in a Crossbar Challenge or a short theatre production. They are all entertainment. They are all culture.
We have a very poor relationship with culture in the UK. It's seen as something that some people go somewhere to watch. But culture is all around us. Culture is us. Kids pulling tricks at Kingston DIY, a magician at a barbecue, telling your mates a joke in the pub. Every performance enriches our lives and adds another thread to the tapestry.
There aren't many football clubs that could attempt to include theatre as half-time culture. That Thistle are prepared to try is something we should be proud of.
Of course, the [NTS] drama about the '71 Cup Final was poor. Under-rehearsed and badly executed. The main problem though was the timing. In the middle of one of the most abject performances by a Thistle team many of us will ever have witnessed. The team were a very poor warm up act that day.
Shrug it off. Life's rich tapestry and all that.
Have an open mind and don't dismiss it before you've seen it. Don't give in to the Tory Govt cultural elitism. Culture belongs to you.
You've obviously never heard me tell a joke in a pub.

I think IMC knows full well what Turner can do through the middle and that this is his strongest position. I have been advocating, with many others on WAT that he should be played in that position/role. However I also think IMC values what he gets from the Docherty-Bannigan partnership.
It seems to me that IMC is being very loyal to Bannigan whom I think should be moved to the bench as the back up player in preference to a Docherty-Turner partnership in central midfield.
Good performance last night and as much as I hate to admit it I thought after looking again at the disallowed goals that the assistant ref and Walsh, whom I think is one of our poorer refs, got it right!
5 vg penalties as well - really thumped them into the net. Why the players' reaction to Hemmings? Was he sledging or do we just not like him?
I've carried out a forensic examination of both offside decisions and the report is that they were both as tight as a duck's arse. Honestly can't reach a definite conclusion after multiple freeze frames on both decisions. When it's that tight think you have to cut the linesmen some slack and just accept what they decide. Although not sure if I'd be saying that if we'd lost 2-1. The linesman for their disallowed goal took a fair time thinking about it.

Good overall performance. Feeling a bit more positive about the season ahead after that. Turner looks a different player through the middle. Muirhead and Milne both top class, even Smith was half decent. Only downside was running out of steam in the last 15 mins. Great fun winning the pens though.

Smith mince - Docherty mince - Turner - mince!
Same old, same old!
Thought Turner played well, best player on the park imo. Docherty played OK, good ball to Graham to set up first goal. Smith was indeed utter mince. Have to assume he won't get near the starting line-up come the start of the league campaign.
Anyone know why their manager got sent off? Seemed nothing in it.

Just given up on trying to vote in the TJF election. Spent about an hour on it, constantly being told I'm already voting in another tab.

Is Lesser Hampden not expected to be ready for next season?
-
For me the big problem is the size of the leagues. 10 team leagues make the current play-off system silly. If memory serves we won two more games than we lost and still could have been promoted which doesn't make a great deal of sense.
Think it works well in England with the bigger divisions.

Think Sean’s contract was up and we didn’t offer him another one , he had been injured for a lot of the time and there was also some sort of blood disorder going on as well .
Would take him back now though .
As I remember it, Sean had a long term injury that lasted about a couple of years. Not sure how accurate that is but he was out of action for ages. I do remember the recurring joke about another 6 weeks. I'm reasonably sure his contact was extended during this period when everyone thought he was a cert to be let go.
When he did return he struggled initially but gradually got back to form. The last 3 months of that season I distinctly remember thinking he was playing the best football of his career at Thistle and was the best player in the team. Others might agree with that assessment but he was definitely on form.
Then at the end of that season Archie released him. It was the single most baffling, inexplicable series of actions from a manager I can think of.

You sure about the Dunfermline chairman? I seem to recall them putting out a statement that they voted for the reconstruction proposal, highlighting the unfairness of what was happening to certain clubs. Maybe I'm getting mixed up and it was another club altogether.
The Chairmen of QotS, Ayr and Hamilton amongst others can however go **** themselves sideways!
-
Not our night guys. That's the best we've played in ages. One **** up and we're punished.
-
Christ we don't half know how to **** it up
-
So ****** frustrating. Did as well for the first 60 mins and deserved to be in front. Then as per usual we shat our pants. As per usual we think defending a lead involves surrendering the midfield and falling back to our 18 yard line.
There were individual errors but the real problem is we lack bottle. Nothing to lose on Friday, hopefully we grow a pair and get tore into them.

Not much between the sides, hopefully on Friday there is a ref that remembers there are 2 teams on the pitch.
To be fair he gave plenty of dodgy decisions against ICT as well. From start to finish the guy was absolutely shocking. Where in the name of Christ do they dig these retards up from.
Literally if they'd pulled a guy at random off the street with no interest in football he'd have done better.

The guys I go to the games aren't on the forum so they asked if I could submit their names as signatories to the statement.
Would be grateful if you could add,

Davie McGreagor
Ian Liddell
Thanks.

Seem to remember Gerry was remonstrating with the ref and threw his arms out. Muscat who was walking behind Gerry and couldn't have been in his eyeline went down clutching his face. Result red card.
Sorry mate. I remember the incident fine. Just my attempt at humour.

Always remember when Gerry Britton 'tickled' the nose of muscat by accident and went down like Rocky had punched him, and I think we fell apart. With our luck VAR would most likely miss these kind of incidents
Have absolutely no recollection of this incident!

PS: I recall watching Lady Isobel Barnett on very early 60s, B/W TV quiz show, ‘What’s My Line? She was one of a panel of four with Barbara Kelly and (I think) Bernard Braden. Eamon Andrews was the presenter and the objective was to work out what the ‘subject’s’ job was, from a mime they gave, before answering (I think) a number of questions from the panel. I would have been about six or seven at the time, but I remember it quite well!
Did she not have sticky fingers?

Yes, Rudden’s registration, like all loans, is temporarily held by the loanee club until the next registration window.
Jakubiak can play in the playoffs for us in all ties, as long as we don’t face Dundee. It is an SPFL rule that players can’t play against clubs which permanently hold their registration, even though they may be temporarily playing with someone else.
Generally loan players don't play against their parent club. For example Gordon wasn't able to play for QotS last Friday. If (and I know it's a long shot) would Rudden and Jukubiak be barred from playing if we met Dundee in the play off final?
I suspect it depends on the details of the agreement.

These stats are complete nonsense. I just looked up the record for distance covered in a match. It's 15k. So this guy doubled it and then ran another 4k. Made up pish.

That looks poor from Turner. Can understand why the Bunnet wasn't happy. The ref had a perfect view but his decisions were erratic all afternoon.

Basically Lafferty was the difference today. Otherwise Kilmarnock were pretty shite. Great free kick but the setting of the wall was shocking. It didn't cover the near post which Lafferty picked out.
The only real positive was that we were better today than the we were in the last 3 games. Not especially hard, I concede.

Didn't think it was a soft free kick,pthed. Tunji deserved the yellow. How the Killie fella didn't get carded for similar foul on Bannigan was pure Willie Collum
He surpassed that one. He stopped play because a Kilmarnock player had a head knock, play was raging at the other side of the park. He restarted with a foul to Kilmarnock at the spot the player needed treatment. It was beyond surreal.
