  1. When I saw that tweet of the Thistle team bus to Dingwall getting a send off from a sizeable crowd outside Firhill, I did briefly think that it had Argentina '78 vibes about it.
  2. Walker: "I've never felt it's a good look, looking at still images." While we're looking at replays of moving images.
  3. There's a strange force in the universe that prevents Partick Thistle and St Mirren from existing in the same division for any length of time. it's uncanny how many times that various promotions and relegations, in the same year, or soon afterwards, have seen us avoid each other, for two fairly similar clubs. 6 times in the last 41 years we've been in the same divsion. If they come up today it would be nice if we could both buck that trend.
  4. Get out the mic, roll on the "Scottish Cup Winners again..." speech.
  5. Yes, I was rooting for Dennis the whole time. He had a track record and you could see there was something there. Just never quite clicked for him here. As it happens, Carlisle equalised just after he came on today. Hippolyte also had an outrageous effort from an overhead kick.
  6. Currently watching the St Mirren squad player derby from Wembley. Kristian Dennis v Myles Hippolyte in the English League Two play-off final. Both on the bench, but we've had a close up of Dennis explaining that he scores lots of goals but he's usually injured. Sounds familiar.
  7. Shades of Rino Gattuso diving in a pre season friendly at Love Street here.
  8. Who is it that keeps falling for parking on that grass verge next to the driving range? Easily 50+ cars ticketed there tonight. A good night for the council too. Not the first time I've seen that.
  9. Yes, definitely no foul on Main there, at the start of that move.
  10. It's actually just poor reading comprehension from you tbh, or wilful misinterpretation to facilitate a weaselly, snarky response. The 'funny' part, in isolation, is that a goal for Rangers at that stage hands the title to their city rivals, not the fact that they are quite naturally chasing that goal anyway, irrespective of its implications. But thanks for playing.
  11. The funny thing for me was, after Glasgow City went in front, Rangers needed three goals to win the title, and it was already deep in stoppage time. It wasn't happening. However, if they had equalised it would have handed the title back to Celtic, and they were going all out for the equaliser and were unlucky not to get it.
  12. Decent article about the Pools Panel featuring Tony Green here: The pools panel: three former players who never stopped in lockdown The third member of the group, Tony Green, had a shorter playing career, but his life experience is no less impressive. The former Albion Rovers, Blackpool, Newcastle and Scotland player was only 25 when an injury ended his career. He ripped the cartilage and ligaments in his right knee and his recuperation was not helped by the club insisting he continued training in a splint, running up and down the terraces at St. James’ Park. Having studied maths at the University of Paisley while on Albion Rovers’ books, he took up teaching and had a 30-year career in education. He has been on the pools panel since 1976.
  13. Commentator says he went down because he "felt the presence of Curtis Main". Fuxake, is it a seance?
  14. Spotted a Portuguese lad in the crowd with a Sporting Lisbon phone case.
  15. One of the few games I've ever left early. My old man decided it would be best if we got a head start on the throng of Hibs casuals who were growling at us from the Main Stand enclosure.
  16. The roof behind the goal at Easter Road featured one of the earliest electronic 'scoreboards' I can recall seeing. I put it in quotes because I don't think it actually displayed the score. I think it was only for advertising, but was a novelty nonetheless. My first game there was a 4-0 win for St Mirren at the tail end of the 1984/5 season and the scoreboard was in place at that time.
  17. Went to take a look a Jimmy Page's house in Kensington. Joked on the way there that, knowing our luck, we'd run into (his neighbour) Robbie Wiilliams rather than Page. Sure enough, we're loitering across the street when the obligatory black 4x4 drives up and Robbie Williams bounces out of it and off through his garden gate.
