The Sunnylaw Jag Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I can't recall too many Jags Monday night games. There was one in the early 90's when Sky Sports decided to dip into the First Division to see what the quality was like. St. Johnstone 0 Thistle 0 . . never dipped in again. However, cast your mind back to October 4th 1971 and we played Falkirk at Hampden in the League Cup Semi Final and won that one 2 nil. The same again please!

The Cup Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Monday night football is an abomination. The fans that attend the games aren't considered at all in these decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Monday night football is an abomination. The fans that attend the games aren't considered at all in these decisions. I'm not sure Neil Doncaster would agree with that and he knows better than a mere supporter. Personally I don't mind going to a game on a Tuesday night so probably won't seem any worse on a Monday night. It's the fact were not playing at the weekend that annoys me.

The Jukebox Rebel Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 It might surprise you to know that we've actually played around 300 games on a Monday night, mostly due to holiday games and pre season friendlies. All mentioned above are in the list. Standouts outwith these boundaries include winning the Tennets Sixes in 1993, beating Clyde 2-0 at Firhill in the Glasgow Cup final in 1989, and beating Clyde 6-0 at Shawfield in that Scottish Cup replay in 1983 c/o a hat trick from Super Mo. Three Hampden Park Cup Final victories were secured on Monday nights in the 1950s - two against Rangers and one against Celtic. I make that five trophies won on a Monday night - not a bad way to start the working week. On a more sobering note, Mon-05-May-1980 sticks out like a sore thumb - Hibs 0 Partick Thistle 1 in the Premier League. Only 1,191 paid in to a ghostly Easter Road - and it was reported that "a good number of them were from Glasgow". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunnylaw Jag Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Loved that 6 nil game after all those draws and abandoned games in the tie already, who'd have thought we'd pump them for 6 in the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglemon Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Why do you say that? Well a lot of people (like me) choose their games and can't afford or unable to go to all games. I looked at the next 5 games and thought- Hibs and St Mirren for me. Pass on Celtic though it's amazing when you win or draw- see Nicky Walker one man team in the rain many moons ago. Celtic, I've never had a problem with even at Parkhead, but Rangers- bad experiences at home, away and at Hampden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I don't mind the game being on a Monday night. It's Sunday games that don't suit me - shouldn't be playing on the Sabbath anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Stevenson Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'll be skipping it and I've got a season ticket - games against Celtic are not pleasant affairs - mainly down to being outnumbered at Firhill (by a support that's brings unwelcome 'baggage'). Obviously the Sabbatarian in you has won out, but I think you are mistaken about us being outnumbered. I thought Sellick were only getting the north stand, which is about 2000. We will have more than that. Or are they getting part of the JH too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right next to where my ST seat is. I may have to go in the excellent Main Stand facility to avoid the smoke and broken seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) I was obviously a bit confused when I posted about being outnumbered - I put it down to the post time being 02.52 - 03.52 in the real world.

I may have to go in the excellent Main Stand facility to avoid the smoke and broken seats I see. I'm sure we will outnumber them anyway unless we do that Killie thing and sell them our seats.....

Alan Murray Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Lawless to come back in for Elliott. Still think we should move Welsh forward with Bannigan and Osbourne to take up the defensive midfield roles. Hopefully this will bring back Bannigan to his best. We need to get more players into the box when we attack. One of the reasons why we are not scoring many goals imo . With Welsh moving forward I believe he is capable of scoring goals with his head. Give our full backs something to aim at.

Charlie Endell Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I'm coming round to the idea of Monday night football - Mondays are usually wrist-slashingly depressing - at least it's something to look forward to - a few pints and then off to the game.

p12tfc Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Anyone know if your allowed to take your own food in? Eg a McDonald's perhaps minus the drink.

Can't imagine it will be allowed but have never seen it written anywhere I now always take a snack into Firhill. Have done since my first visit this season. Won't spend another penny at the so called catering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
