That's a great abbreviation. = "A quickie !"

Just for clarification, it seems likely that any stadium "development" will in fact be a further partial demolition and shrinkage of the place as a football ground. "Development" puts a misleading positive spin on it.

Isn't Baltoni's "natural" role the kind of one that Hutton has been carrying out? With Willie-K back to fitness and in central defence alongside Archie, Balatoni might....... oh, I just remembered, he might be offski as well.

Graduation is never to be sniffed at. I cannae make the HoF this time. So if I win, the tickets are yours!

When they saw the photo they thought that nobody could possibly look so ugly, so Rab was admonished.

The club has missed a trick here. What they should have done is have a programme or two that contained a couple of 50/50 tickets that might have a chance of winning a lucky programme...... etc. etc.

With Bone as one of the heros.

I disagree. You can say that because you've seen the video the picture doesn't suggest anything. But if the picture was all there was and 100 neutral people were asked whether in view of the rules they thought it was a penalty, I'd bet on a "Yes", and that's because there is a suggestion of contact. Edited to add: I've just looked at it again, and it looks even more like a penalty to me than in did before! Easy to see why the ref gave it.

X might be difficult. Did X-Ray Specs have anything remotely resembling a "hit"??

A worthy addition!

That's right, it doesn't prove it, but there's no denying that the picture suggests contact.

Good point, but believe me it was mostly a display of inept passing and standing around waiting on the ball to arrive, rather than taking it to the already-stretched 10-man cheats central and pulling them all over the place. A tad over-critical? Of course we are!

Some people seem to be surprisingly shirty about this. Personally, I don't think it's a pressing problem.

Hmm, It looks like it to me. If we had lost the game and had been denied that penalty, that photo would have me raging at the injustice of it all.

This thread has me creased with laughter.

No frills on that post. It should be pinned up in the Star & Garter.

Tenpole Tudor: Swords of a Thousand Men

That's a mere detail.

Strange one too. Does the club no longer seek to hire out the function suites? Too much for them to get in any staff required?

It would be fantastic if the reason they mentioned it was that Thistle were now getting 10,000 or so every week. Oh, I forgot; soon there won't even be enough space inside Firhill for 10,000.

Sorry; sometimes I can't help myself.

Yep. But for Bomber Jackson I give you Gregor Stevens.

You're right, of course. Niven became a legend, for example. Ritchie just wasn't as good a keeper. Watson arrived at Firhill long before being an over-the-hill has-been, etc. But I hope that the days of us signing 35+-year-olds just because they used to play for the h*ns or the tims are behind us.
