Garscube Road End Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Only 38. Seems he should still be playing. I have had my doubts about him as boss, but he is proving quite a few of us wrong. Lucky to have him. Have a great day gaffer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyo Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 When was his debut, about 1996? Half his life ago. No question that in Archie and Kris Doolan we have two genuine Thistle legends at the club just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question that in Archie and Kris Doolan we have two genuine Thistle legends at the club just now. I make it April 5th, 1997; 2-0 vs. East Fife. He wore the no. 14 shirt, so probably on as a sub.

Big Wull Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Sub v East Fife away 5 April 1997 (won 2-0, double by Evans).

BowenBoys Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Many of us have had doubts on the darkest days. It's human nature. He's a young manager. He was thrown into the deep end when McNamara left and he gave us the SFL Championship, in style. Since then, under his leadership, we have continued to grow and to achieve. He has shown great strength and ability to turn it around from the very poor form early this season. There was even talk, back then, that he had lost the dressing room. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are seeing now that he gets the best from the players. Of course there will be dark days but I, for one, will not doubt his ability to bring us through it. Happy Birthday Boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachi Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I make it April 5th, 1997; 2-0 vs. East Fife. He wore the no. 14 shirt, so probably on as a sub. I have a memory of him taking a free kick from about 25yrd towards the jags fans and thinking he must be a free kick specialist considering he had just come on. Belted it over the bar, and most certainly wasn't a free kick specialist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer is fair, I am sure. I suspect you are a bit busy for poetry this week what with the new film and all that merchandising etc.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
