In the old fashioned 5 a side competitions played in the summer that was exactly probable - never picked a goalie!

Pardon me for asking a sim.ple question

Then please explain why the opposition played with only 10 players from some point in the second half.

Further to my previous post, I have gone on to the SFA site and found info re the Club Academy system - Results and Fixtures. Unfortunately the last result shown was for a game played on 12 March 2020 when lockdown came into effect. It would appear that whoever is charged with updating current activity on this is (sleeping/hibernating/furloughed/no use ). Well it is the SFA!

Just watched and agree that there was lots to enjoy from a Jags point of view. However the video is only 21 minutes of highlights and I assumed they would have been produced by ?.^&+"s FC since it was played on their patch. Definitely edited from a Jags perspective because of 2 particular omissions. Second half - 1) we restarted having lost a goal which wasn't shown, and 2) the other team were down to 10 players, presumably because of a red card which wasn't shown? Should point out that In the hope of seeing highlights from the dark side I logged in to their web site. No highlights and no score for our game although there were scores from games against C?@%"& and Hearts, and a forthcoming fixture against St.Mirren. (I have since disinfected my laptop). One question - why do we not see scores for our Academy teams on the PTFC site?

Well how about that!

Just found something very interesting (and pleasing). Googled Wikipedia to try to find old League Tables for the Scottish League (without success I might add). What I did find - Current Champions (and Last Champions) - THE FAMOUS PARTICK THISTLE.

Saw Brian Graham's goal celebration and thought "Fans are on the nollie bank". From your post I get the impression you were there. If so - what was the attendance?

Gonnae no' say that!

My abiding memory (sorry, one of my abiding memories) is this. Johnny Gibson had come on as substitute and in the far corner to my right from my seat in the stand (call it the North East corner) he was close to the corner flag and cheekily chipped the ball over the head of a Celtic defender. It was 4 - 1 at the time but I went ballistic worrying that he might have given possession to Celtic. Problem was I had forgotten to wear my watch that day and had no idea how long was left. I was quickly placated by one (or more) of my pals telling me "Calm doon, there's only 2 minutes left!

Zak! Came good just when we (k)needed it most!

See page 206 of this thread.

Sorry to be a stickler - too many ampersands. Remove those after Campbell,Harris,Blair,Kinloch and Johnstone.

At half time against EF we were effectively 9 points behind Falkirk ( they were drawing 1-1 at Airdrie). What an amazing turn around!

Having consulted the "Bible" looks like 26 September 1987. Score 1 - 1 (scorer McDonald). Attendance 1,285. Dinnie and Scimgeour played that day.

When the go ahead to restart our season came on 4 March we looked to see what the fixture list would be. Everybody understood that initially the requirement would be to complete an 18 game season. The desire of the League 1 and 2 clubs to have a Premier League type split and add 4 more games is an added issue which could be allowed more time to discuss. However what I can not believe is the inability of the "governing body" to have managed to issue a revised fixture list by now. Underlines their total ineptitude. Did they need to use an outside agency to programme the required computer system? An 11 year old kid could have done it manually in half an hour! Now of course the overpaid bigwigs will be more concerned about the possible threat to remove 2 bigot twins fixtures from the remainder of the season with the bleating of Sky demanding "We want our money back, we want our money back". I am (unfortunately from an age point of view) able to remember when Scottish Football had a certain standing beyond our own borders. Sadly I am totally convinced that there is no way that can ever be retrieved.

Macarthur F.C. - is their home ground called Macarthur Park? Cannae be - it melted in the dark!

Aye, but who scored the goals?

When I started my spot was right at the front just about above the letter E on the wall. Having said that I remember being in the stand at Thistle v a team from south of the river when the crowd was so big that some people were on the grass in front of the wall. That game is etched in my brain - 3 January 1959 - George Smith 2 h*ns 0!

Bobby Gibb

Definitely a thorny subject.

Spot on Jaggernaut, but help me out. Where/who against? I can't recognise that ground.

Where is Peter Lindau when you need him?

Please explain. Null and void or calling the season early meant the same as far as TV transmissions of Scottish football was concerned - there was nothing to see! By restarting on August 1 the TV contracts are protected (apparently). So I ask again - why was null and void not an option (and don't hit me with crap about "prize money"). Anybody with half a brain could have found a way to deal with that.
