I know a Jags man in Coleraine. Don't think he posts on here, though.

I promise to stop soon. I'd be raven mad not to.

What is it with ex-Thistle players and falling fowl of the law?

Happy enough to accept JM's verdict here. Let's hope there's a better player inside him just waiting to be unleashed.

Like some fungal infections, they're difficult to get rid of entirely.

Ha ha, for years now every new strip has caused a real difference of opinion between the haters and the lovers. Every new strip is unique, and in that respect this one is no different from the others.

Some good points there. For me, Stewart is the one that I wanted to see sign, and we've got him. I'm looking forward to seeing how the youngsters do, including our new left-sided players. Bring it all on!

That's because too many of those involved weren't the full shilling.

Monra Jags!

Tres interessant.

I'm never around in the pre-season, so I don't know what any of the trips have been like. But there seems to have been some memorable away-days. What are the best, and why?

Hmm, Liverpool away strip: http://chefsnews.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/liverpool-away-2011-12.jpg

It'll certainly be an interesting exercise in "self-policing" by the fans and stewards of PTFC, and many other clubs and the media will be paying a lot of attention to it. This is actually another "scoop" for the club (like U-16s for free, the pink strips...), so the club should make sure it gets plenty of media coverage. However, nae polis at or around Firhill.....my advice is leave the car at home on matchdays.

More on the sponsorship deal in tonight's ET: http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/editor-s-picks/beattie-six-figure-deal-puts-spring-in-our-step-1.1106722 Seems like we've got McCall to thank for the deal getting off the ground.

We've already got Archie and Rowser, both veterans, to bring on the youngsters. All I can really see McCann doing, if he's even fit, is slowing down all our moves. I did quite admire him years ago, but it has seemed to me for some time that he's finished.

Nae polis at Firhill. Best result in years!

A couple of excellent points there.

Like in table football, players should only be allowed to move left to right and vice-versa, using side-steps. Their arms and hands should be strapped down to their sides. These rules also apply to goalkeepers. The match will continue for as long as the crowd can get together enough cash to pay for more balls.

Thank you, Walter. By the way, enjoyed you in Cactus Flower many years ago.

I remain to be convinced too. It's not a million miles from some old shirts that I can remember, e.g.: http://www.frameroom.co.uk/_/rsrc/1283619963137/gallery/football-related/Old%20Norwich%20City%20Kit.jpg?height=320&width=315

The following team's grounds are closer than Firhill is to ma hoose: Stirling Albion, Stenhousemuir East Stirling Alloa Athletic Cl*de Dunfermline Cowdenbeath Livingston Can't be bothered looking at any more!

Who's the burd in image 2?

McCann? No thanks. Finished. Think Simon Donnelly with less pace and less threat.

Ach, disregard the above post; the "story" is ancient. Sorry, chaps.
