My fundraising aims to raise £12000 for charity by the end of 2012, with charities benefiting including Maggie's Centres, Great Ormond Street Hospital and Children with Cancer UK.

Hey Folks, As many of you will have seen in the programme on the final home game of the season (Thanks Tom!) I've got some match worn Thistle items up for grabs as part of my fundraising. They're online just now (ending tonight, sorry for the short notice, been a busy week) and include match worn boots from Willie Kinniburgh and Paul Paton as well as Stephen O'Donnell's training boots. All are signed, and were handed over to me following the final game of the season at Hamilton. Fundraising is currently focusing on several charities including Maggie's Centres in Glasgow, GOSHCC and Children with Cancer UK. Tomorrow marks the start of eight 10k events in a month, so a busy time and a great time to boost the fundraising coffers. You can find the auctions as well as pics of the players with the boots on my website http://twelveby12.wordpress.com 100+ items online just now, with more coming this week, so please do check the site out and help spread the word. My thanks go to Paul, Willie and Stephen for being kind enough to support my fundraising. Thanks Robin

Hey Folks... I've never had as big an auction as this, with a staggering 357 awesome signed items up for grabs right now as I aim to raise as much money as I can for my chosen charities. I'm supporting Maggie's Centres, Children with Cancer UK and Great Ormond St Hospital and this Sunday I will be running my third marathon in four weeks so this is the BIG push to raise as much as I can on the back of those events. Included in the auctions are the boots Ryan Conroy wore during his loan spell at Firhill and indeed still have some of the turf on them. Both of the boots are signed in black marker, and were handed over within minutes of the final match of the season ending. Those boots and the other items (including a match worn QPR shirt from Paddy Kenny) can be found via my official website TWELVEBY12 Thanks, please do have a look. RM PS - if you're feeling like supporting a great cause, pick up your phone and text TBYT99 £3 to 70070 - it's totally free to use, and for the price of a drink you'll help a great cause via JustGiving

Hey Folks, A shameless plug, which I hope the Admin team will let me away with as it's for some brilliant causes, for my charity auctions. Included are a few items with a Thistle twist, including a pair of brand new Adidas Adipure boots (RRP £123) donated by Conrad Balatoni. As several members have bought from me in recent months, please note this is the last round of auctions for a month as I am taking a break from listing. There's 269 awesome items up for grabs right now as part of my final fundraising blast so please.... CLICK ON THIS LINK TO VISIT MY WEBSITE AND ALL THE AUCTIONS Thanks Rx

Despite loads of interest last time round, Hinchy's gloves remained unsold. They, and 238 other awesome signed items, are currently up for auction via my official site @ http://twelveby12.wordpress.com and will, finish tomorrow. With so many brilliant items up for grabs (and with buyers from the forum last time round) I thought it prudent to post and let everyone know about them.

Following on from the article Tom was kind enough to place in the Raith Rovers programme at the end of the season, I have my first signed Thistle item of the year up for auction right now. Among the staggering 203 items for auction just now are a pair of Craig Hinchcliffe's goalie gloves worn and signed on the palm in black marker. These are from last season. (2009-10) All my items are being auctioned as part of Twelveby12 - aiming to raise £12000 for charity by 2012. I'll be running marathons and jumping through hoops (literally probably as I'm taking part in the Glasgow Urbanathlon next month) to raise the money, so please do take a moment to check out the items up for auction, as well as Hinchy's gloves. More Thistle related auctions to come... Thanks for reading best Robin

He wore the armband yesterday as well, and had several incisive runs on the right wing.

Wondered how long it would take some smartarse to bring that one up For too many reasons to bore you all with, but primarily because I was very busy yesterday and I live five mins away from Hampden.

dunno, but they arrived at a lot of games together towards the end of last season...something rings a bell about mccann being an agent now?

from memory, i think Neil looks after Willie Kinniburgh.

Looked like he enjoyed it, hoping the injury he picked up wasn't too serious, otherwise he must be a sure fire cert next week!!

took in Queens Park v Livingston today, and viewed a man of the match performance from Graeme, with a hat trick consisting of a dive header, an outrageous lob from the right and touchline after Bullock came charging out, and a penalty. Bullock later walked for handball outside the box. Outstanding performance from Graeme, just thought it was worth mentioning.

Hey Folks, Just a quick reminder that the auction for Ryan Conroy's boots ends this afternoon, currently at a bargain price, so please do pop by The10GrandCharityChallenge Website and have a look. There are 131 other signed items there also ending today. New link on the webpage, just to the right side of the first post will take you straight to the eBay pages. Thanks, Robin
