angry gaz Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) She sits in the North Stand. Read a couple of good articles about her in the Guardian recently. I remember her after we won the Championship up on a chair in the Star and Garter singing the Archibald song. Not a kid on Jag IF she's up against Alexander Id move to Paisley just to vote for her.

David Stevenson Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Out on the right wing, Tory former list MSP for Glasgow, Bill Aitken is also a regular at Firhill. Former Labour MSP for Anniesland, Bill Butler is a Thistle fan also. Maria Fyfe was at the Hall of Fan dinner the other week. Hope Ms Black is successful in her quest on Thursday.

allyo Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Mhari Black will become the youngest MP in British Parliament since the 17th century. And some say we don't have decent youth development. Laura Kuensberg is Jags fan too. (Channel 4 news these days?) We are pretty well represented in political circles.

Tried to get Laura Kuensberg to write an article for the Thistle programme a few years back but she didn't feel she had enough Jags knowledge to do so. That didn't stop me for 22 years!

lady-isobel-barnett Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I believe I heard that die-hard Jags fan Scott McFarlane has been deselected from the Monster Raving Loony Party for holding too ridiculous views. He's now standing as an Independent on a pro European ticket. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodstock Jag Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I for one think it inexcusable that you've all written off the Liberal Democrats in East Renfrewshire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That didn't stop me for 22 years! Laura is a Jags fan but never went to many games - despite my attempts to drag her along (my wee sis). I used to go home and away but not so much now, given where I live, but it's great to see the team doing so well under Archie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angry gaz Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 You having a go Gaz? Since I know you don't want to vote for Alexander why don't you vote for her on my behalf . You know it makes sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meister Jag Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Since I know you don't want to vote for Alexander why don't you vote for her on my behalf . You know it makes sense I'm down in the basement, my wireless is tuned into Moscow and I'm awaiting instructions. It's not like the old days! I look at the ballot paper, in many ways nice to have the opportunity of universal suffrage, but all I see are diluted neo-liberal promises. But, for once, only once, I think you're right. That wee turd Alexander needs to be bounced into touch and Ms Black is just the candidate to make this happen. (In this respect I'm being serious, even if I do have history with the SNP locally; but that's another story: chapter 8 of my memoir, available in all Bargain Books for £0.10 or £35 for a signed copy from behind the bar in the New Regent! I do 'meet the author' days in the Star before home games. Good looking guy who stands beside the ageing rocker that is is your brother!) Do you still have a Pat Lally statue in your hall? Must be good for hanging your top hat and cape after a hard day keeping the lower orders in check. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
