Tom Hosie Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Anyone go to Linz for the 2-2 game in the Intertoto Cup? I was in Linz with about another 50 or so Jags fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 How could I forget the Stade de Meadowbank, everyone was kung-fu fighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hosie Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 How could I forget the Stade de Meadowbank, everyone was kung-fu fighting The Main Stand was closed for one of our games through there, an all too rare win, in the mid 80s because there was a flower show in the concourse. I remember some Thistle fans sitting on the park bench alongside the touchline. Only slight problem was that was actually what passed for the technical area.

Duck snort Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 The Main Stand was closed for one of our games through there, an all too rare win, in the mid 80s because there was a flower show in the concourse. I remember some Thistle fans sitting on the park bench alongside the touchline. Only slight problem was that was actually what passed for the technical area. Was at that game too. Gordon Dalziel was on the bench for the Jags and was told to get stripped to go on at some point in the 2nd half which took him about 15 minutes because it was so cold and he had so many layers of tracksuits on. Jags fans were in hysterics each time another layer appeared. If memory serves me right Alan Logan scored in a 2-0 or 2-1 win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hysterical. 2-0 I think we won; noteworthy because I think it may well have been our first ever win at Meadowbank. Another of our then annual fights against relegation. How a Thistle team from the mid 80s never actually got relegated is a complete mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deasach Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) My Dad took me to the two all replay game against Killie at Firhill. I remember being raging at the lack of extra time and penalties. I think we nicked it 1 0 at Killie the following midweek. I'm pretty sure there was ET and the 90 minutes finished 1-1. The game against the great Aberdeen side was probably my favourite ever Jags game. Watched it from terraces at the city end. Me too & also one of my favourites. Anyone remember if highlights of the game were shown on TV ? Getting back on topic...didn't we play a friendly at Preston NE's Deepdale in the mid-80's? I think it was to try out their plastic pitch with a view to installing one ourselves. Edited March 2, 2013 by deasach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Putin Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I haven't seen Thistle away to Montrose, Cowdenbeath, East Stirling or Elgin, and my current geographical location makes it more difficult to complete them. I have been to stock car racing at Central Park, but you can't really count that. I have also been to Ochilview many times to see Thistle-Stenny, but I would have to insist on seeing East Stirling there to count it, and we haven't played Montrose or Elgin away in a competitive fixture in my time as a Thistle fan. Out of interest, for the anoraks, when was our last competitive game at Links Park? I don't count new stadiums for this purpose, so I include St Mirren as I did go to Love Street.

Links - promotion season 91 / 92? Great day out anyway - scraped a 1-0 win (McGlashan). Edited March 2, 2013 by Charlie Endell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kni Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Ive never climbed a Munro I climbed several in my youth. It's a great way, and sometimes the only way, to see parts of our beautiful country. Edited March 2, 2013 by kni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Wragg Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I've obviously been too busy travelling the country in an attempt to catch an example of the beautiful game !! a very rare spectacle indeed these days !! Might just turn to the Munroes then if I'm not too old now to climb them !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prince of Kadriorg Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Anyone go to Linz for the 2-2 game in the Intertoto Cup? Around 50 of us if I wasn't too impaired by the Zipfer to count correctly or too senile to remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Devil's Point Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'm pretty sure there was ET and the 90 minutes finished 1-1. . Checked the official history and it just records it as 2-2. However, now I think about it I agree with you that it was after extra time. I think it must have been the lack of a penalty shoot out that upset me so much on the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
