The Sunnylaw Jag Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I was really thinking the straight from Chelsea players including the Loaners. I don't think McNaught was on loan but not sure. Mckinlay came from Ross County and Nicholls I don't remember. As to the best , of course Billy Dodds, not only 4 goals against East Fife but a winner against Clyde!

The Cuddly Toi Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Back to the last question.... anyone got an answer or does The Cuddly Toi have to give the final one? If no-one answers by midday tomorrow, someone else can ask a new question. The third Thistle Connection is Amy McDonald, who sang Flower of Scotland, and has carnal connections to an ex Thistle player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) As I never get an answer right, I thought that I would take advantage of the hiatus to ask a question. Your first task is to identify the 11 players listed below from the past couple of decades who all share the annoying characteristic of scoring regularly against Thistle. To help you, the players are listed in alphabetical order of surname. I have given the number of letters in the first name followed by the number of letters in the second name and then the last vowel in each name. If a player is normally known by a diminutive, that is the name used. So to take an example which obviously would not apply, KENNY ARTHUR would be 56EU. Was not sure about MCs and MACs, so in every case I have assumed MAC. 45OI 45EE 57EA 59II 66IE 35AO 59EA 510II 57AE 54OO 510EO Your second task is to identify the two players from that list who went on partially to redeem themselves by scoring for Thistle. This question has been carefully worded!. Edited May 24, 2013 by partickthedog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) All 5 correct so far, so 6 to find re question 1. Pat Keogh correct re question 2 but second person requires some thinking outside the box. Edited May 24, 2013 by partickthedog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veejag Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 57EA Kenny Deuchar, who redeemed himself by scoring an own goal! If that's right, I will be so chuffed with myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 All three above correct. Going out now so quick clues for 2 left. 66 has three adjectives. 57 rang down the curtain on a double act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 All three above correct. Going out now so quick clues for 2 left. 66 has three adjectives. 57 rang down the curtain on a double act. Just to finish this one off and to leave the field clear for somebody else:- 66 is Martin Hardie (3 adjectives-Big Mad Mental). He has not (yet?) redeemed himself as his goals for Thistle were before, not after, he scored against us for other teams. 57 is Brian MacPhee, a regular scorer against us for Airdrie. Thereafter his winning goal for Hamilton, which sent us into the First Division relegation zone for the first time, led to Derek Whyte and Gerry Britton being relieved of their duties. If rumours are true, John Baird may join the ranks of the redeemed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
