East Kent Jag II

It could be Laurie. Every photo I've seen of Laurie was after he lost most of his hair! Later in his career he played with Margate. The Margate history website does have an excellent biography of him. He also later played with Canterbury City. Laurie moved to Toronto in Canada in 1977, where he lived until his death in 2006, of a heart attack. He was 69 when he passed away. Laurie's brother Bobby also played for the Jags.

October 1958 League Cup Final versus Hearts. 5-1 to the Fearts at HampdenPark. This is George Smith heading the Thistle goal past George Marshall in the Fearts goal. Not too sure who the other Jag is. A guess at Tommy Ewing.

Today is the first time we've won our opening league fixture since 6th August 2016 (yes, 2016) when we beat Inverness CT 2-0 at Firhill in the SPL. McCall said earlier this week the he didn't mind losing goals, as long as we scored more. I wish he wouldn't tempt fate like that. Not good for my mental state of mind. Other defenders will get wise to Rudden, Graham and Tiffoney. We do need help in defence, so hopefully some signings this week, although a wide player looks like first up. Bell was a talisman for our conclusion to the league last year, but unfortunately did look suspect today. But three points, Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!

It won't be Jake Hastie. He's been included in the Rangers squad for the Malmo game next week. That could be the end of that.

We're all just fine here, thanks. Looking forward to a 3 point start to the season tomorrow, for a change. QOS have brought in a couple of defenders in the past couple of days, but I'm very hopeful that we get the points.

As above, no match programme for now. Good to have you back,AJ, hope you're well.

Tam O'Ware joins Kelty Hearts. I wish him all the best there. His time at Firhill didn't work for him, & I hope he stays injury free.

I had a look at the SPFL rules & regs. Section i deals with media distribution, and there are rules introduced for 21/22 season only. It is complex, but it seems the SPFL Sky contract is the issue Sections i22 a & b do suggest restrictions on providing live stream coverage. By my reading though, clubs can seek permission to provide coverage to season ticket holders. But the wording is complex, and I am not going to claim I have a grip on the issue! On a slightly different, but related issue, these rules prevent transmission of highlights etc before midnight etc on matchdays, (again for Sky), hence the delayed coverage on Jagzone. It may be the other clubs have lower crowds allowed, or more season tickets than their current crowd allowance, but I can't work out any other reason other than they've asked.

Thistle line up. Gordon back as a sub.

According to various sources (wickpedia probably being the most easily accessible) all 8 section winners plus the 3 best runners up progress to the next round, DD.

They get dipped before they come in....

Says it all. Congrats Jaggy . Hit the crossbar AJ. Unlucky. Many thanks BB, for an excellent competition during a domestic football hiatus! Or so it seems

Yes AFK On ptfc tv I've added a screenshot, but it doesn't show the address, but I got it by keying in ptfc tv to Google.

Italy 2 England 1. Many thanks for running this, BB.

It's not only ironic, AJ, it's a stick-on oxymoron
