East Kent Jag II

Whenever it comes, we should automatically rule out anyone who presents a PowerPoint presentation.

We didn't create chances like we did in the cup games, but the number of chances missed so far this season is appalling. Graham set the scene with his petulant red card on Tuesday. Rudden should go now. More time in the treatment room than on the pitch. Do the players get sucked into the hype that they are league favourites? You get nothing without effort, and "leaders" Doherty and Foster a disappointment. Only Sneddon and Niang emerge with credit. Sort it out. Next two games are must win, and in the shortened season, there is no leeway. To lose to a poor team like Clyde is a new nadir for the club.

oh no...................

I remember JeannieD going to Capplielow by paddle steamer. I trust you used the royal barge to go upriver from Partick and back....with a win on the return journey?

I see someone has made a £10 donation to the GoFundMe page under the name "Thistle £10 QoS 0" Whoever you are, touch of class

Sushhhhhhh!!!

Red card Graham.

Thistle for tonight's game Sneddon, Penrice, Brownlie, Cardle, Bannigan, Graham, Gordon, McKenna, Murray, Foster, Doherty. QOS without Dobbie.

Did you not forget the prefix "erzi"?

I'm inclined to agree, NT. The difference is though, the WOSL have decided that there will be no promotion or relegation in their four leagues this season. One club threatening legal action over this,.....watch this space.

I agree with you that the SPFL Board have forced SPFL clubs in all four divisions to play this season, with the threat of relegation for non compliance for those clubs seeking not to compete. Perversely the same board are in all probability the very vehicle for closing down leagues. They have again canvassed clubs to give them executive power to conclude the season, in another vote, seeking clubs to trust their judgement. It'll be interesting to see how clubs view this, though no doubt a rejection will lead to the topic disappearing from the public domain, without further comment. Having so many club chairmen on the board makes it difficult to get a quorum for change, and the Sky contract will certainly exclude Premier league clubs from any shutdown.

You've got the first part of your double.

Much better. Not over yet...

A good quality Shepherd Neame beer from my part of the country! Enjoy! Not too scintillating so far. QOS 2 - 0 up at home to St Mirren.

If the football authorities ask for football to be stopped, then they are seeking to close. They will not qualify for this scheme, which is only for businesses told to close. Presumably the Premier League will need to continue because of the Sky contract, so you are only looking at lower league clubs. To have lower league clubs closing and seeking government funding is as artificial as it sounds. The new scheme is to be reviewed in January. How is the player and staff budget to be funded for the rest of the season if no more cash is forthcoming? There is the refunds of sponsorship, season tickets and no prize money. Also starting from zero for 21/22. The recent vote by clubs on a league to league basis was that all four SPFL divisions proceed. We should now get on with the shortened league programme we have. If things do become unworkable, then as long as half of league games are played, the league can be called. Let's ensure we are top at the half way stage and stay there. All clubs have now invested in squads and there will be difficulties ahead, but there will be clubs who release all of their playing staff if we mothball, and when it comes to 21/22 season, will have no cash reserves to start again and obtain players. Football has been promised some of the fund held by the SG for the arts football etc. Further funds will come via the Barnet formula for the recent aid to the English National League. I understand where you are coming from, but nobody ever seems to consider the true financial costs in shutting down.

Ordered mine latish last night. I didn't expect it to arrive before the game tomorrow, but waiting for me when I got back today. As I live in the countryside, in a remote village, pleasantly surprised at the distributor's efficiency. Well produced, even including a two page spread by the PTFC Working Group. Looking at the player sponsorship for strips etc, I noticed that the Arrandale Hotel Ayr sponsor Ross Docherty. Nice to see an Ayr business sponsor Ross in these cash strapped times in the hospitality industry.

It took you 32 hours to think that one up?? Make that four.

Willie Paul also turns up in one of the matches played on 6 October in today's archive home page - 3rd L.R.V. 2 Thistle 2 on 6 October 1888. Willie scored one of the goals, but the match was later abandoned with !feuds" and a pitch invasion. Willie was also special as he was an amateur for his whole career. Quite incredibly, he used to play for Queens Park or other amateur sides, if the Jags were not playing! A true Corinthian.

Agree with EJ. In the Betfred Cup up to 5 substitutions are allowed , with an additional substitute if the game goes to extra time. If he's not in the starting lineup, the likes of Senna would be a useful sub. We can use our 5 wisely.

Three. Dundee voted "yes". Wait a minute.......there's been a glitch in the SPFL "in" folder??

From what I can see Celtic only loaned out 4 players. To Cove Rangers; Dunfermline; Dundee & Ross Co. Trick question - How many of these clubs were keen to end last season on Black Friday?

Reports in many of the Scottish papers that at the meeting today between the JRG and the SG, a "substantial" sum of money will be given to clubs. Also a "roadmap" agreed for the return of fans to stadiums, with 6 months being seen as the earliest return date. The SFA and SPFL are issuing statements tonight on what was agreed with the SG. Lets hope that the SPL don't hog the cash!
