Garscube Road End Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Pretty pointless. 150 I would understand. But what does 140 really signify? It's 141 next year! Another dance? A rip off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 It is hardly a rip off. You don't need to go. Whether others think it is pointless will be determined by how many choose to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rip off! I think you could've phrased that a bit better, GRE. What's pointless about folk wanting to mark the birth of our Club? Without wanting to sound morbid it stands to reason many a long time Jags fans may not be able to celebrate the 150th the way they'd want to, if at all. Anyway as lenzie says it's hardly a rip off. If I've any criticism to make it would be about the shortness of lead time but that's another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie Thistle Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Pretty pointless. 150 I would understand. But what does 140 really signify? It's 141 next year! Another dance?

Woodstock Jag Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I think it makes perfect sense. 10 years is a long time in football. 10 years ago we had Graham Gibson in the starting line-up. That's worse than liquidation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you celebrate birthdays or wedding anniversaries ? If you do, I am sure you don't just do it every 5,10,25 or 50 years. The word anniversary refers to marking something each year.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I may be wrong, as i don't usually attend these sort of events, but I'm pretty sure the Club don't come round your door, lasso you then drag you screaming all the way to Firhill. Coming to think of it I did, along with a few hundred others, attend the 40th anniversary of our League Cup win. Obviously the Club couldn't wait another ten years to fleece us. Rapacious ********!

partickthedog Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I think that 140 is a very significant figure. It is the number of Dalmatians plus the number of steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Just checked and the event is being held on Oct 28th. That's exactly 10 years to the day since we beat Dundee 3-1 and Alex Rae got sent off celebrating his goal. Now if that's not worth commemorating I don't know what is. Non event indeed! Hey, even an Alex Rae will be there on the night. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/64191 btw Along with Griffiths injuring himself kicking the advertising hoarding Rae's red card was one of the funniest things I've seen at Firhill in recent years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sending office was just the first part of the fun. I am struggling to remember the exact sequence of events and perhaps someone else can help me. As I recall it, having been sent off as a player, Rae tried to take his place in the technical area as manager, but was told by the referee to remove himself. He then continued to attempt to coach the team from a vantage point somewhere behind the dug out but the referee spotted him and as the referee came towards him, possibly intending to administer further punishment, Rae vaulted over a wall and disappeared from sight.

a f kincaid Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 In any case, if you believe Thistle were founded in 1875, not 1876 - as some do - then it's a 141st! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to mind something like that. Certainly highly amusing antics. And of course there was the corresponding game at Firhill six months later. You have to give Rae credit in that match. Despite an almost constant tirade of abuse the great player/manager coped admirably for the full ninety minutes. What restraint he showed holding out till injury time before he got his marching orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Lol. I'm not the one who's parting with money on a non event! Interesting self-appointment as the arbiter of what is deemed an event or not. Are you going to the match today? A hell of a lot of people would probably consider that as a "non event." Do you only part with money for "events"? "Lol." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
