I can see it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted May 1 Author Report Share Posted May 1 Luca Brecel of Belgium wins the world snooker championship. Belgium's flag is red, yellow and Black,hopefully a good sign for other sporting participants with the same colours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely right. I was awarding 7 point tries with conversions to follow! That bonus point scenario is a little worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elevenone Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Fingernails already shortened and nerves kicking in. Had an oddly specific dream that Ayr, Morton, QP all won and we were trailing 1-0 only to equalise in last min. Just putting that out there in case it comes to pass and I can start charging for readings on forum. Into em from the start Jags and let the nerves be jangling elsewhere.

Any chance that we and Dundee could both score twice in injury time (a dodgy penalty and disputed offside wouldn't go amiss) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 When did we last win at Stark's Park? Surely it cannot be as long ago as early 2006 when Sandy Hodge and Jimmy Gibson scored in a 2-1 victory. It was such a bitterly cold night that the three of us who attended together took the unusual (for us) step of buying a Bovril (each) at half-time. Sandy Hodge scored his only goal for Thistle with a header from a corner immediately after the break (and amazingly was not penalised for his usual pushing). To avoid the health and safety implications of steaming hot Bovril flying everywhere our celebrations were restricted to a slow fist pump with the non-Bovril cup holding hand. Since then I can recall 2 dramatic last minute equalisers (one at either end) from Kris Doolan, some turgid 0-0s and some abject defeats. Hopefully someone can remind me of a win I have forgotten.

Done a wee search a found a 2-0 Jags away win on 12th March 2011 if correct? Have no memory of that though. Even with that been on the wrong side of a few hidings there so lets reverse that tonight Jags. 1-1 (late equaliser) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to have a fairly good memory even of relatively dull games, but that 2-0 win has passed me by totally. That is odd because normally away wins are even more enjoyable and memorable than home ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might start to get worrying when Raith's 6th goal goes in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the description! Poetic, in its own way. I wonder: shouldn't all goal celebrations among fans be limited to this kind of thing?

Jaggernaut Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Just got back from Scotland yesterday.... loved the 2-0 win at Firhill on Saturday, with a rare, extended sept (N=7) of the Jaggernaut family in attendance. Still jet lagged, and with an attempted restorative nap this afternoon totally disrupted by an earthquake (epicentre a couple of hundred miles away, but strong enough here to rock the boat (or apartment)), I've been believing all day today that it was Thursday, until a friend looked at me oddly and informed me that it was Friday! SO, have signed up to Raith TV for the live stream, will get to bed soon, and hopefully get up again for the 03:45 am kick-off. Monra Jags ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of a wet day at Brockville. Because of the weather my pals and I decided to watch from the "Grandstand". At the turnstile a young guy (possibly not that young but a lot younger than me) had his backpack searched and a pint carton of milk was confiscated. A matter of seconds later after entering the "stadium" Bovril was purchased. The water must have reached boiling point seconds earlier. Question for "the powers that be" - Which is more likely to have caused serious physical injury in the event of an accident (or to have been used as a missile)?

I'd say he's about the most unflappable keepers we come across. But he's still prone to the odd **** up. Here's hoping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
