He just doesn't score run-of-the-mill goals....

Clapton eat yer heart out!

Two Jags here; one dead easy, one maybe trickier. PS: Three Jags, if you count the blurry one in the background!

Thanks for that, thornwoodjag. Anybody know what kinds of things are auctioned at these kinds of events? Thistle-related items (tops, programmes, etc)? Or more general?

"DSA quiz and auction night on the 13th" Where can more information be found about this?

Forfar four Fistle five would be some game.

Jinxed already!

I have nothing but absolute admiration and gratitude for Thistle fans who offer to work for the club for free. I would definitely join their ranks if I still lived in Scotland, and would be happy to scrub, paint, declutter or whatever was required. Probably something that "senior" guys and girls are more likely to go in for ?

To be honest, I'd still rather stand on the city end bing than the north (JL) stand.

That's an article by robphil; perfectly appropriate! John Hansen: if not for injury, could have gone on to much greater things.

Me neither, A ! would you care to reveal the Jag?

An absolutely brilliant day, best ever!

I have a vague recollection of somebody a few years ago analyzing Thistle goals scored at each end of the pitch. I don't remember any details (not even sure it's not just my imagination!), but I think there was no important difference. If there was, I think it would get mentioned more that it does (which is basically never).

We should call him Sir Alec.

RIP. Condolences to Alan's closest and friends.

Stanway also mentioned it. As he suggested, most players at this level would just blooter it towards the goal, instead of trying to bend it past the keeper. It takes presence of mind to pull that off, and he did it well. Chalmers has scored a few like that too this season.

We gave them the opening goal. That was hospitable enough.

If he went to a Dundee club it wouldn't especially bother me much, as failure would be almost guaranteed.

Jeez, ptd: You realise that 99% of folk who read this forum won't have a scoobie what that joke is about? But the ancients will both wince and smile!

Not the cleanest finish, but effective! Chalmers can produce some brilliant moves on the wing.

I have a feeling that Stanway will not be with us for very much longer, though I hope I'm wrong.

You might be right, fifexile, but the sky blue top in the picture (and others that I've seen) has a maker's logo; also, the Thistle crest is on the left side, not in the centre. And I have a vague memory of seeing a "reversed" version of the yellow top with red trimmings, and the players also wearing blue shorts, eliciting bemusement and varied opinions among supporters. A fair number of Jags legends in that photo!

The highly talented sports journalist and passionate Thistle fan ("robphil") passed away at the end of August. Those who read the forum regularly might remember that he was open about being terminally ill for some time, and I'd noticed that he hadn't posted since June, which was strange because he frequently chipped in great memories particularly on the "Who are the Jags..." thread. An internet search soon revealed the sad news. I never met robphil in person, but we exchanged many messages about his fascinating career and our shared and unique Jags memories (often described humorously by him), and became good online friends. (He published a book some years ago with recollections of his interviews with some of the world's greatest sports personalities.) RIP, robphil.
