  1. Agreed. It's a real shame we don't have more (or indeed any) really good video coverage of the Thistle team of the McParland era.
  2. Sad news. Condolences to Gordon's family and friends.
  3. Credit to the wee Jags fan with the drum behind the goal at Montrose! Thankfully, there were no "tough guys" who thought they would show how "tough" they were (not) if they stole the wee fella's drum from him.
  4. Well done to everyone involved in the women's team. Fingers crossed for even more progress before the end of the seasdon!
  5. A Bobby Lawrie, Denis McQuade, or Bobby Houston clone would do nicely.
  6. Interesting..... they're never seen together, or spotted at the same time in the same place.
  7. Let's hope that the club are trying to negotiate a reasonable separation of the two matches with the SFA and the opposition team(s).
  8. Lifetime ban, with opportunity for parole for reparation, expression of remorse, and good behaviour!
  9. For that reason, the team names should be in identical waterproof containers and submerged in a tank of ice-cold water, in which the guest dupe chooser must leave his or her hand for 5 minutes before starting the draw.
  10. Brilliant win by the women. The way the team has progressed in the past few seasons is truly impressive.
  11. Brilliant Jags! I'm sure all the supporters who made the trip were pleased. I've been logging into Youtube every 10 minutes since I got up 7 hours ago.... No highlights yet,.... more patience required.....
  12. Not in Japan. But that answers my question, thanks, as BBC live coverage means no alternative free-to-view coverage. At least I won't need to get up at 2 am to watch it.
  13. The "funniest" (i.e., most infuriating) thing about Sneddon in possesion of the ball is the following, almost unvarying sequence: 1: Catches the ball, 2: with one hand urges his team-mates to get up the field, but 3: he has no intention of releasing the ball, so drops it on the ground and stands still, until 4: an opposition player makes a half-hearted attempt to approach the ball, 5): ever alert, Jamie feigns to go to kick the ball, and so 6: the opposition player gives up his half-hearted approach (satisfied that his manager will have clocked how alert he is), 7: Jamie, now with both hands free, flaps them back and forward in what I think is a gesture to urge his players to get up the field, but 8: he still has no intention of actually doing anything yet with the ball, as he's enjoying the moment, but eventually 9a: he makes a short pass to a defender three yards away, or 9b: he punts the ball directly to an opposition player in the middle of the park or else out for a shy. Since step 1, this sequence has taken anything up to 30 seconds, but usually longer if we are losing and time is running out. And as for taking goal kicks, that's something else! As a rough guideline, double the amount of time taken to release the ball (largely due to the obligatory strolling across the 6-yard line to the opposite side of the goal to where the ball went out, with possibly a change of mind half-way there).
  14. Our Scottish Cup record is overall truly dismal, even when we go into games with some optimism. Would love to get a win tomorrow, to show that we can compete.
  15. Anyone know if the match will be live on Youtube?
  16. RIP. Condolences to Susan's family and friends.
  17. Brilliant. Haven't got time now, but would be interested to see what happened (in football terms) to all of those players.
  18. Wow! Is this the first-ever PTFC women's team all-ticket match? What's the capacity at Petershill? How many tickets are available to the other team? I don't really expect answers to those questions; just pleased at how things are progressing with the women's team.
  19. Unfortunately, there's a persistent attention-seeker "at work."
  20. Yeah, I don't see how you can really get an idea of a player's potential value if he doesn't get more than two or three consecutive games in a starting position. I'm pretty sure that Lyons hasn't had that opportunity.
  21. Free beer and crap music ought to do the trick.
