Looking across there doesn’t look like the stand has side’s protecting the seats at the ends from the elements?

Cheers for the replies regarding King.
i was hoping he’d be doing well in midfield.
At least he is getting game time though it’s baffling why he’s at left back as anything other than an emergency.

How’s Alex King been doing for Clyde?

Michael Stewart forgets that the listener hasn’t necessarily heard what he has said before, so not giving one name wasn’t clever. As usual he was being objectionable.
Plus, his use of “could of” is really poor. I can’t believe he doesn’t realise why this is wrong as he keeps saying it.For a national broadcaster their coverage down the leagues is really poor too.

Inexplicably they didn’t show Montrose’s effort off the woodwork, choosing a header over the bar instead

Did anyone else at the game see McGeady give the finger to people up in the stand or was it just me.
Presume some form of sectarian abuse was probably shouted in his direction if i was to take a guess
I sit in the stand in line with the home dugout. After he was tackled the guy behind me shouted “that’s your first touch of the game “
For some reason that triggered him to start shouting up.
It’s the mildest shout i’ve ever heard to garner such a heads gone

What was the second yellow for?
As he walked to dug out, Morton fans were chanting “Brian Graham, you’re a w*****””
Responded with a get it up you gesture.
Then stopped during walk of shame to dressing room offering to see Morton fans outside.
Pantomime stuff!

Seemingly Graham reacted to comments made about his older brother's suicide.
I would have done the same.
I didn’t hear anyone shouting anything of the sort from my position near the front.
Nor did he mention it after the match in hospitality.
Brian just lost the head during the pantomime walk of shame, I think it’s a simple as that.
I suspect most fans don’t know about his brother. I certainly didn’t until mentioned here.
Undoubtedly a dreadful family tragedy.

Aye when Partick were at Somerset a couple years back and they had to climb the North terrace to get to their changing room (COVID times) , he was trying to square go Partick fans. Although I seem to remember the accusations was that supporter(s) had said something sectarian.
Brilliant ! Scrappy Do style let me at him!!

Couldn’t see the Graham incident that much from the JHS. Was his gesture really that bad? I think players who get stick/abuse from fans are entitled to give a bit back. That said, could say, a player who gets as much opposition abuse as Graham does should know what he can and can’t do and it’s sheer stupidity that could cost us - someone from the bench (Mitchell?) appeared to then run after him, not sure what was going on there either.
It was a wee bit like a small 1970s style “get it up you” which you don’t see much any more.
Not the worst thing in the world but already on a yellow so not sensible.
Offering to fight outside was probably worse.

Any word on the supposed fracas in the tunnel after the game?
This is breaking news!
One of the Thistle backroom staff ( i don’t know his name) was fuming with Imrie at the end and was ushered away.
Was it him?

With the comedy gold today of Brian Graham inviting Morton fans outside, presumably for a fight, I can’t recall seeing that happen before .
Not counting Cantona who just launched right in, has anyone even seen a player offer a punter a square go at a match they’ve been at ?

Graham got subbed….went off to chants of “Brian Graham you’re a w*****”…….gave the Morton fans a “get it up you gesture “…..red card ensured.
Then had to walk past Morton fans to dressing room…..copped more abuse; stopped and started gesturing “see you outside , we’ll have a sort out there”
Then reappears celebrate Thistles second in front of the away support.
In a nutshell!

Some absolute idiots in the away support letting off smoke devices in a wooden stand tonight.
Crazy

I'm obviously biased, but the way I look at it is that, in 50 years or so, there probably won't be online match reports from games years ago. Or interviews with players and management from the time. Even transfer news from my childhood 10-15 years ago can be hard to find outside of programmes.
I sat down with our club historian for a good few hours when we did a 150th anniversary pullout, and without newspapers there simply wouldn't have been any way of knowing teams or match reports from midweek games with Forfar or East Fife in 1907 or whatever! Huge gaps of the club history would simply have vanished.
Same goes for players. I've had a fair few players and their families ask me for papers so they can put them away. My Granda has a framed team photo from when his dad was playing juniors in the 30s, which is a cut out from a newspaper of the time. It would be a shame if we lost that.
As an aside, I notice tonight that Todd Cantwell has just done almost exactly what Carlo Pignatiello did on Saturday and hasn't been booked. I'll be watching those type of incidents like a hawk from now on to see how many referees are taking a no-nonsense/no common sense line.
That’s a great point- old papers are a great source of club history.

I don't know if he's still involved but Roger Graham was a great football presence at the Telegraph, and a smashing bloke also.
Roger retired around 15 years ago. Good guy, great journalist for the Tele

In my time at the Lennox (2015- present) I know the Advertiser would usually take the Reporter's DFC content when they needed stuff or didn't have enough from Helensburgh alone. So it was there most weeks, but not always. Or at least that's how I assumed they worked from the outside.
With the Reporter no-more in print (and being scaled back to a ridiculous degree online) Newsquest, who own both, might just not have any DFC content to publish. So will just stick whatever is sent in from grassroots level in the print paper.
If you're looking for a paper with unrivalled* DFC coverage then the Lennox is your place
Cheers for the reply. It felt a shame as any presence in the press is a good thing for smaller clubs i feel.
We are very lucky in Inverclyde with the Greenock Telegraph providing Morton content every day.

In Helensburgh today and picked up an Advertiser and saw they weren’t carrying any Dumbarton content anymore.
I’m sure this didn’t used to be the case?
Anyone know why they have stopped ( assuming i’m not mistaken in the first place, which is always possible!)

Why is it being played tonight as opposed to Sunday?
Feels like less of a sense of occasion?

Why is it a club the size of Hibs can’t have e ticketing for away fans or a pay on the day option, depending on the opposition ?
It looks like they have the same arrangement in place as they had with Morton:
Send tickets through.
You have to go to ground midweek to buy them ( not handy if you are working, live somewhere else or both)
If you live out of town, try to arrange to pick ticket up with the SLO at the math
This is scuppered if you phone and the unsold tickets have already been sent back
No e-ticketing .
Why are Hibs making it so difficult?

The two scoreboards I remember from the late 80s were at Cappielow and Rugby Park. I think the Cappielow one is still there, now used as an advertising hoarding although a Ton fan can confirm
The large electronic scoreboard at Meadowbank Stadium also presented the scores as A 1-1, B 2-0 etc which annoyed those who didn't buy a programme
Spot on regarding Cappielow. There’s a clock and the rest is advertising

On social media at the weekend I was seeing Coatbridge CSC St James pics .
How does that feel ? Do you feel like you are fighting a losing battle ?
As a supporter of a provincial club myself I get fed up at the hundreds who leave the area to watch Rangers and Celtic .
I also heard Susie McCabe on radio a few weeks ago encouraging folk to go to their local clubs, despite the fact she is a Celtic fan from Coatbridge ( although she may have moved there after becoming a Celtic fan as opposed to being born and bred in Coatbridge and being a Celtic fan- I don’t know )
Towns like Greenock, Hamilton and Paisley , to name but a few others , really suffer from folk bypassing their home town team to support Rangers or Celtic.
it’s hard to see how to stem the flow

For tbe away section yesterday was there an option to purchase a ticket on the day at the match ?
I had used the online purchase so no problem - just wondering if there was another option ?

Well if the season finished right now, he would have kept you up. What better evidence you want?Teams with no league wins at home don’t stay up.
You are remembering Gus as he was in charge at St Mirren as opposed to the reality of only three wins in twenty four league matches at Morton .

When Tyler French was at Dundee, how was his distribution?
He has been very poor in every aspect of play at Morton unfortunately, which os surprising given the positive reports from Dundee fans before he came to Cappielow
