Phew.
Well this has aged beautifully.

Getting to watch Thistle games at Peterhead, Montrose and Cove next season.

Well this thread has been rendered moot given how obviously doomed the Jags are.
FTFY, but I'm not terribly happy about it.

First ever Thistle game - Partick Thistle 6-3 Dundee season 92/93.
First ever Scotland game - Scotland 2-0 Latvia 1997 - Scotland qualified for France 1998.
Its been pretty shite since.
A surreal scoreline considering they came to Firhill the season before and horsed us 6-2 (if memory serves).
My first game was a 1-0 home win against Meadowbank in October 1987. I remember my dad teaching me that I was to cheer for Thistle, and boo the opposition. Meadowbank were in black, as were the refs (and linesmen). The officials came out for their half-time warm up and were roundly booed by 4 year old me.
First Scotland game was a friendly against Poland in 1990. I remember f**k all about the game. In fact, I was on the terrace playing about with some fellow wee boys and barely paid any attention to the game. I didn't really go to Scotland games until about 2000 because I'm an utter masochist apparently.

Aye Caldwell was right to let Dools go. His form seemed to drop off a cliff in a matter of a season.
Piping hot form in the top 6 season, then some goals the following as we got relegated, and then being pretty poor in the second tier with no sign of rediscovering any sort of form (given his lack of involvement for Ayr also).
If he played for anyone else in the division I'd probably want him to rediscover his touch and bang in some goals, but I have a weird and inexplicable loathing of Morton and wouldn't mind seeing them relegated. So I'm a bit torn.

Had VAR been in place throughout the last 15-20 years, we may well have got to a major tournament (Czech Republic game at Hampden being the most obvious refereeing clusterfuck).
That being said, VAR is absolutely horrific and is ruining everything that is great about the sport.
This is a selective memory. In the same match Charlie Adam raked his studs down a Czech fella's shin, in the box, and the ref didn't see it. VAR would have given a penalty and a sending off.
Utterly agree with the second sentence here. It makes me relieved I support a diddy team.

Throwback
This needs one of those trigger warnings or one of those filters on fb where you actually have to click on it to see it.
Going to a school utterly hoaching with **** and we get relegated the same day that they win the league for the first time in a decade. It was like fuckin VE day at school on Monday and I was the only one in mourning. It's the single worst day I've had as a fitba fan.
So aye, because of this, I hope we fuckin leather you tomorrow.

I think it'll either be the narrow diamond above or a 4-3-3 with (probably) Zanatta replacing Barjonas from that line up and a narrow front 3 of Graham, Zanatta, and Rudden.
The 5 new signings and the "not getting absolutely pumped" performance vs Celtic have built up a good feeling, let's not burst that with a shitey performance and result here. I can only remember 2 wins at Gayfield though, the famous 8 men Cup game and a 3-1 win after we both got promoted in 2001, sure Archie scored twice.
Aye? I'd always lived my life with the knowledge that Arbroath were the only team we didn't beat that season, which manifested itself in me having a bit of a soft spot for them (that and Andy Cargill being an absolute baller).
E.T.A. I had a check and we didn't beat them that season. After promotion they came to Firhill and beat us 1-0 in a particularly awful game. The rest were a series of draws.
Patronising soft spot in tact.

Not quite the same but similar...anyone who trots out the “Judge not lest ye be judged” line. Always right-wingers of the “hang ‘em and flog ‘em” school of crime deterrent until one of their own gets busted and then it’s “We’ve all made mistakes”.This should make me wary of people, but it just makes me raging at them. Hiding behind bible quotes (and, even worse, non-bible quotes like "god helps those who help themselves") is cowardly and mendacious behaviour that merits nothing less than flaying.
People with Union Jack tattoos tend to get a fairly wide berth from me.
Grown men who wear Rangers tops when it isn't a match day.
People who read the Daily Mail in public.

Took the day off as it's my birthday. Genuinely psyched for this.
2-0 Arbroath. Gavin Swankie and Andy Cargill to score. The latter with a 60yd lob while smoking a cigar.
E.T.A. Possibly smoking a haddie.

There is probably a lot more that can be added to this list those were just his moments I can think of off the top of my head.
Will miss him.
I was surprised he signed for us, tbh, but we've been crying out for a horrible wee shithousing nyaff of a player for years. I can't wait to see him in a Thistle shirt.

The second and third goals from Shankland really are something else. Wonderful player.

This thread has serious legs.
Going for 55?

Watched the first half of this and Gerrard won the tactical battle hands down. Celtic have better players, I think, but the way that the likes of Christie and Edouard were nullified speaks to a superior set-up by Gerrard.
I have a feeling Celtic will massively regret taking the cheap option in Lennon.

Aye this is bad news. My first thought on seeing the news was "oh shit I hope we're not too fucked!" so thanks to the good guys on here for being a grounding influence by reminding us that he was a man with a family first and foremost.
I loved that he gave a clump of money to Largs to install what I think is one of the best pitches in the country.
I'm glad he got to spend the last 8 years of his life living the good life, and I'm delighted he blessed my team with some of his winnings.

Well indeed. I think there have been some recalibrations along the way since as well.
Even if the dates were accurate in relation to the life of Christ however, they would still just amount to a human construct.
SD and Velo's Army make the mistake of thinking the terms we've imposed have anything much to do with time itself. I'm no physicist, but I'm led to believe it's a more complicated affair than the linear thing we attach numbers to.
Anyway, in football terms, the decade has barely a week left.
Nah mate, I was just being flippant. I was irreverently pointing out, indirectly, that in a thread inviting fans to revel in recollection of joyous celebration (aka "scenes") you and a couple of your fellow doonhamers decide that the best use of this thread is in fact to clarify what exactly is meant by a decade.
About half the posts from QOS fans are concerned with the exact beginning and end of a decade, which I suppose is indicative of a fairly dreich 10 year period for you chaps.
I still hate that timewasting b*****d you had between the sticks in the Challenge Cup final, by the way.
Have a lovely christmas a'body.

He is a club legend. A lot of folk will naturally highlight those goals against the Wee Team, but his winner at the death up at Dingwall a few weeks previous was absolutely crucial.
I honestly love the guy, but would still hold Crawford in higher regard (for his playing days, of course).
Aye he had a wonderful knack of scoring crucial last minute goals for us too. During the festive period (2001, peak Lambie) he was brought on as a sub against Ayr (boxing day) and scored the winner about 10minutes from time. 3 days later Lambie kept him on the bench, bringing him on to score the winner against St Mirren. If we didn't have the utter silky genius of Scott Paterson in that team then Hardie would be my absolute favourite Thistle player. All the ingredients of a cult hero.

Utterly gripped by the Queens fans on here steadfastly refusing to understand time.
Muirhead sticking the heid on the QOS player in the challenge cup final was the moment for me. Beautiful.
Getting our highest league finish since 1982 was nice.
Otherwise a bit meh.
Delighted to join the Pars fans in this seasonal BMMMH love-in.

Going to mass in the morning (mainly for the Christmas carols and belting out Adeste Fidelis and Hark The Herald as the absolute bangers that they are) before returning to eat a big breakfast with the housemates and their weans (aged 1 and 3, so they're a hoot).
Cooking and eating the turkey my pal and I killed a couple of months ago. I'm looking forward to cooking, tbh, and not being with my own family for a change.
I fuckin love christmas.

Comes on in 73rd minute and they concede in 80th minute to make it 1-2 Brighton
It wasn't on his side though. David Luiz really is utter murder.

The lighting for these pictures is utterly horrendous, tbh. I'm a handsome b*****d, but I'd look like a tramp in many of these.
Some of these people look positively gleeful and I quite enjoyed the happiness radiating out from some of them.
