  12. Strangest thing on a football pitch

    in Main Jags forum

    Posted

    Hi folks.

    Let me first of all congratulate Scotland on reaching the play-off final against Serbia. I genuinely hope they progress, as I always do with the home nations. My own country, Northern Ireland also reached the play-off final with a shoot out win away in Bosnia. But here's the thing... I guess you probably haven't seen the match and the incident  maybe didn't even make the highlights, but I have never seen the likes in 50 years watching the beautiful game...

    Bosnia won a free kick 30 yards out, and Northern Ireland put 4 men in the wall. No funny business there you say. However, Paddy McNair ran over and lay down fully on the ground on his side with his back resting against the back of the "wall". I thought he'd taken a heart attack and wondered why his team mates were not screaming for medical attention until the camera zoomed in and Paddy is on his side, facing his own goal with a huge cheesy grin on his bake.

    Of course it dawned on me, when the "wall" jumped, as the kick was taken, that Paddy was protecting a daisy-cutter from creeping under the wall. Just when I thought I'd seen everything. UTJ

    Since last time...

    More good reason to bookmark our ever-changing home page - we've added an Archive News section, which will give you a same-day notice if we add a new page or make any noteworthy updates (quite apart from the in-numerable trivial updates which go on all the time).

    The trend seems to be for our match hubs to be uploaded the day after the match; keep an eye out for our unique reports and stats. The BSC game marked the end of the longest-ever close season, the game at Tynecastle seen us field an all-Scottish starting eleven for the first time in over 8 years and unwanted history was made when we failed to beat Ayr at home for a sixth consecutive game. By the end of Friday's game with Hearts we had witnessed 50 substitutions and introduced 13 new Jags to the Archive. It's been a bit lively! Still struggling on naming some of the match officials if anyone has the info, please do share.

    All 5 of our tables from the Summer Cup (2), July Cup, Spring Cup and Intertoto Cup were added to the site today. The full reference-quality suite of 186 major and minor League and Cup tables* is now at your fingertips, anytime you need them.

    Onto Paisley... can we maintain our astonishing record of being unbeaten in all competitive season openers in the 21st century?

     

     

    * Until such times as we discover that the Gathering of the Clans Tournament was a round-robin in which case we'll need to dispatch a special agent to Canada to investigate further!

    I didn't realise we were unbeaten first game of the season for 20 years!!! Well done all at the Archive.

    I wouldn't sack him yet - 3 year contract to honour. If he resigns, then that's different.

    But who would we replace him with? Who would want to come to a Div 1 club?

    Would IMO have to be an up and coming manager or recently retired player who is ambitious and hungry.

    Spot on. The PTFC board is more concerned with getting money to other clubs - ones that just f***ed us over - than they are with our club.

    Absolute disgrace. Low and her cronies deserve to be booted out by the shareholders. Oh wait a minute.......

    Absolutely BC.  We have let ourselves be shafted, worrying about clubs that don't give a **** about us.

    How could Dundee possibly be promoted over ICT?

    In retrospect, probably agree with that.

    Losers would be Elgin 12 pts behind 2nd place and voted to finish the season now, Airdrie 4 pts behind 2nd place and voted to end now and Dundee 4 pts behind BUT voted NO (or didn't vote)

    The only re-structuring in my opinion that would work is 14-10-10-10

    Div 2  Promote Cove and Edinburgh. Bring in Brora and Lowland winners. Elgin are currently 3rd but 12 points behind Edinburgh.

    Div 1 Promote Raith and Falkirk. (airdrie might be miffed but are  points behind Falkirk and they did vote YES)

    Championship is the awkward on. Promote Utd and either ICT or Dundee.

    No relegation in any division.

    Looks like Dundee have got reconstruction on the agenda with an splf task force set up. I just hope that they take the role seriously.

    My preference would be for a 14-16-16 set up but that might be too much change and might not get past the SPL self interest. 12-12-10-10 might be easiest to implement and there would only be winners from that with no losers.

    You say 'no losers'. What division would you have Hearts, Dundee Utd, ourselves and Raith in?
