As long as they allow us adequate time to get to the ground after communion...........

Brilliant. Haven't seen that on here for quite some time.

Was just thinking that. Was never a great fan of Kenny Arthur, but you felt that there was a decent chance that he would save a penalty. Same with the Tuffmeister. Not yet got that from Foxy, but would still rather have him in goal than either of the other two.

I think it's the unsurprising aspect of the inability to win away games that is cheesing people off. We've won only one match in 11 away matches this season. We won no more than a small handful last season. We've already failed to beat Morton in two previous attempts this season. We've already failed to beat Ross County in two previous attempts in Dingwall this season. Another defeat there on Saturday will, of course and unfortunately, be unsurprising. It's the overwhelming lack of "surprise" wins away from home under McCall that is finally driving me to stop going to away matches. Even the Bunnet didn't manage that.

That actually sums up how crap we are, as if we needed any further confirmation.

Great photies, another crap away result. Derek Lyle is one of those ex-players who seem to do rather well against us.

Good photies.

If there was a list of PTFC-minded businesses who contributed towards the club, then I would be minded to consider them first for any services that I needed. Of course this comes down to simple advertising and sponsorship deals, but if there was again a useful list of businesses and services, I for one would find it useful. And if the club could somehow negotiate some kind of price reduction for Jags fans (season ticket holders, of course!!!), then even better.

I'd hazard a guess at something like one away win in every 20 matches. Unacceptable. How would he even start to defend it?

Well, in view of the games coming up we still have something to play for, namely avoiding the relegation play-off spot. But you're right. The season is basically over, yet again.

Shecht. The appalling away record under McCall continues. I'm seriously considering not bothering with the cost, the discomfort, and the probable disappointment of Dingwall on Saturday. It's really not that much fun, is it?

Rowson booked (again). He must be due a ban.

They're cheats and deserve nothing, but IF Dundee were paying wages that they could afford with players that they had rightfully signed, they would be charting the perfect course to becoming Division One Champions. They always seem capable of getting the winning goal, even coming from behind to do so. We, on the other hand......

Me too, ever since Jimmy Bone went there, and their yellow shirts (a bit like ours from 1970-71).

Ross County have won only one match at home all season. I fear they might improve upon that record on Saturday.....

Good. Raith Rovers is the team that I'd like to see get promoted (as it won't be us). Nothing big-headed about them or their fans.

A big part of the problem seems to be that the manager also has the losing mentality when it comes to away matches. For whatever reason, he seems incapable of getting anything more than the odd (very odd) good result away from home.

And no sight of any of the youngsters that fans would like to see get a chance. Same old same old on the bench (apart from the loanee).

Surprise, surprise: Dundee currently 1-0 up against Raith Rovers. How long until the cheats go above us in the league? Another 10 days or so?

One miserable win in 10 away league matches so far this season. SORT IT OUT, McCALL!

Dammit, down again because of another penalty.

I spend almost half the year in Japan. When I first went (12 years ago), I went a few times to see the locals, Kyoto Purple Sanga, in the J-League. But I never really got into it (apart from the beer that nice girls would come around and sell to you in your seat). These days, I'll watch them on tv (now called simply Kyoto Sanga), but never bother travelling across the city to see them in the flesh. Never ever went to see Strasbourg when I lived there; couldn't imagine cheering on a team whose main colour was royal blue.

Came across this site, with audio of the R&Y army. Funnily enough, the audio for "If you want to go to Heaven..." and "Mary fae Maryhill" seems to have been disabled. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://i.ytimg.com/vi/tUu58xqGaPM/2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://fanchants.com/football-songs/partick-thistle-chants/firhill-shed/&usg=__8u9y-HgabP6ps0S8c06gGfCzanc=&h=90&w=120&sz=3&hl=en&start=510&sig2=GvDCIuCHVXla53uQ8HuSfg&zoom=0&itbs=1&tbnid=pF8Kdv6BguXTTM:&tbnh=66&tbnw=88&prev=/images%3Fq%3DPartick%2BThistle%26start%3D500%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D20%26tbs%3Disch:1&ei=L_djTc2pF8LAtAaStsSgCg

I remember one old match on Scotsport where some team scored and the inimitable Arthur Montford was going mental over the "ecstasy" being shown by the players of the team that had just scored. But in fact they were just walking back to the centre circle, with a handshake or two here and there. Brilliant stuff!
