  1. Looks like the Cup Final has been changed to the Sunday 24th March. Saw this on Thistle site on X, (A notification from Rangers site, with tickets for sale on the new date!!) but I'm having issues with my permissions on my phone and tablet, so I can't reproduce.
  2. It reflects not only the BBC but the Scottish media's complete disregard for clubs other than The Glasgow Whingers and Glasgow Sellit.
  3. LJ is correct. Table info states tv money for teams involved in games chosen, with both teams receiving a payment. Even so, big increase from the previous round in exit payment. Needless to say I'm looking forward to the Jags progressing in the tournament.
  4. I'm with the above. Lose in the 5th round and the exit award is £47,250, excluding tv cash. Get to the 6th round, and the exit fee more than doubles to £102,000. That sort of cash should make even JJ happy. 😇
  5. The obvious way to promote the club at the 3 Glasgow universities would be a stall at the year start Freshers Week in September. Too late for this season, but good for the future. Some support or interest in the universities' football teams (male and female) may also produce dividends.
  6. I had a look at this on YouTube, and the match did restart with an indirect free kick. Whatever the offence, why wait till the goal before indicating the issue? The "double tap" offence ( if that was the issue) occurred when the player dribbled towards goal - not after it was scored! Likewise for the timing of any other offence. As Toyah would say " It's a mystery "
  7. WJ's original post on this event was that it was a good goal if it hadn't been for the referee assistant beckoning James Craigen away. Perfectly correct. But the assistant did shush the player away. Let's look at the corner. Did the player who took the corner move the ball as outlined in law 17? Yes he must have. If not the dribbler took and played from the corner,and took more than one touch. Indirect free kick. Was James Craigen permitted to intervene? In the circumstances outlined above, yes. The goal was allowed. What law permitted the referee to change the decision? Law 5 outlines the referees' authority. Law 5.3 outlines the referee's power and duties. Law 5.3 defines " outside interference". It defines interference as " stops, suspends or abandons the match for any offences or because of outside interference e.g. if..... I remember vividly my mentor Tiny Wharton telling me yonks ago that the laws of football are written to allow that most important intervention of common sense to be used. That flexibility hasn't changed, to my mind. The e.g. above is all-encompassing, not prescriptive. Did waving James Craigen away trigger "outside interference " ? I believe that the referee thought so. If James Craigen hadn't gone to intercept the corner, the dribbler went on and the outcome was the goal, we would have no option other than to salute the goal. That didn't happen . The referee's powers in Rule 3 include "acts on the advice of other officials. " I believe that the assistant would have been happy if the ball had been blasted over the bar. He had the guts to acknowledge the mistake and brought about a fair outcome.
  8. Does this free up the compensation he was getting from us, and if so, will the cash set aside for that go towards a January transfer budget? Has he given back that company car, so he,won't be advertising Thistle in Byres Rd? 😄

  10. No Bottles or Bumbles, but I can find three Ricky Little - 2008 - 09 season Robert Little - back in 1895 Willie Whittle- from 1914- 1920. Willie made more than 150 first team appearances for the Jags, and despite the times he lived in, lived to the magnificent age of 84!
  11. In the horrible event of Thistle ceasing to exist ( the previous board did, IMHO, make a good attempt at this) I too wouldn't support or even go and see another Scottish team. I would still contribute to the Thistle Archive, because club or no club, that would continue to find new material, I'm sure. I may go and watch local clubs in my area in the Southern Leagues, and Dover Athletic - but very occasionally.
  12. According to the BBC the Commissioner has listened to the strong opinion against the busses review, and has "shelved" the review meantime. This may, though, return, when they actually do proper research. I trust Scottish Football will use the time this rubbish sits own the shelf to carry out their own review, and be prepared for the battle when it returns.
  13. That's where you whip on that ever present balaclava 😉
  14. Thanks, BB, I hope they give the average number of busses per club in their response to the Commissioner. With the potential loss of revenue for home clubs and bus operators, at the very least a deminimis figure of , say, 5 busses takes out most of Scottish football- leaving you know who with the need to comply! I suspect the Match Commander or whichever officer gets lumbered with this will be happy with that.
