1. We've had our 'slump' this season

2. The players are bloody good on their day...

3. ...and they can ONLY improve the away form

4. Jackie got us playing good football...

5. ...but made some wacky substitutions at crucial times

6. The North Stand

7. You support Thistle

8. We're 2nd with 2 games in hand

9. Morton & Dunfermline aren't very good really

10. Hardie is due a injury / sending off

11. There's a Clasico on the telly tonight

12. Jackie has to be in Dundee every day

13. 'Jackie' starts with the same letter as 'Judas', so songs should be easy

14. It'll be AMAZING if we won the league then pumped DU next season

15. It simply can't keep raining like this

16. Thistle are Thistle - my Dad won the 'mystery prize' at 50/50 draw on Sat & was told 'we don't have any mystery prizes - come back next home game' - VERY Thistle

17. You're not among 46,000 others who watched your team draw with Montrose at home on Saturday

18. Steven Pressley is still under contract

19. Yer maw's not a mattress

20. It's already been a great season!

In January 2003 Ian McCall left a talented Falkirk team to take over at Dundee Utd. John Hughes and Owen Coyle took over and steered the team successfully to promotion (albeit they were top of the league when McCall left). Coyle then left in the summer to join McCall at Tannadice. Quite a few possible similarities.

That is excellent good on the club, hopefully planted the seed in the minds of one or two kids, to get them to ask their parents to bring them along. Could have created a future season ticket holder there.

 

Good work behind the scenes, we seem to be streets ahead of other clubs in terms of our attempts at gettin kids through the gates?

Taken from Wikipedia so accuracy can't be certain. However,

 

"A spell, at Falkirk,[2] with the best win rate of his managerial career, led to McCall twice being offered the manager's job at Dundee United, which he finally accepted in January 2003. In McCall's first top flight managerial season the Tayside Club achieved a top-6 finish, but in the following season with the club in a relegation battle he was sacked in March 2005."

 

Falkirk went on to win the 1st division season 2002-03 by 9 clear points.

 

Here's to a little bit of history repeating! :cheers:

 

:fan:
