  1. I am a big fan of Kev. He has pulled off some good saves his enthusiasm for the club has been brilliant. But, last night he was completely at fault for the second goal. When that ball gets crossed in, he comes out and just stands, if you are going to do that, then surely you have a quick look around you to make sure there is no threat coming in, but he doesn’t. Fair play to Mcintosh for following it in, but kev has to be more pro active there.

  2.  

    The majority of Balls from the midfield are going absolutely nowhere. We maybe haven’t dealt with the weather second half. But Debrowski has had a nightmare for the second. Surely as you watch that ball coming in, you have a look around you quickly. First half we were dominant, but we have been Shite the second half and Arbroath have been the better side.

    When all you want to do is turn the TV on and you're met with this:

    PXL_20240226_150341215.thumb.jpg.237cc56b49a6543356f7d4f1fb65f8a6.jpg

    Or just anybody's TV setup which involves two or more controllers.

    The pictured one is an overcomplicated sound system that lets people in Tristan da Cunha hear any music or explosions should you dare turn up the volume to hear what the characters are saying.

    Choose one, yeet the rest.

  4. Man utd can sook my big hairy plums. They have were unbeaten in the last 18, winning the last 15 and 7 out of the last 8 games against fulham. I picked them to win 1-0 on the super 6 and they lose against them for the first time.

    After doing this, my initial criticism of his comments may have been a tad hypocritical. I lost 12-0 to Partick and fought Gordon Ramsay and the Janny. Other than that, sweet as. 

  6. I have had a quick google as i am trying to find out the fastest winners of the leagues in Scotland to help with my sons project at school. With Falkirk and Stenny doing so well, i thought it may be worth having a look. Apart from Rangers win in 2019/20 I can’t seem to find much information on the fastest a league has been won in Scotland. Obviously there will be factors like their only being two leagues at one point, but just looking for someone to point me in the right direction.
     

    TIA.

    Edinburgh City 1-1 Queen of the South in league 1. Original choice being called off meant it was quick dash to Meadowbank to watch this. Was not a great game and draw was probably right result. City’s keeper getting the equaliser in injury time.

    Massive fan of goalkeepers scoring last minute goals.

    Used to sit there myself in the mid/late 70's, got Gordon Wallace (Mk1 manager) to sign my programme a few times......

     

     

    .....while we're at it I really miss the old cowshed, stood in there a few times as well.

    We used to occasionally question the subs that an opposing manager would be making. I don’t remember it, but my brother occasionally brings up the story of me popping my head around and shouting on Gerry Britton (think he was at the pars at the time) and asking where Tom was (as in Tom and Jerry) he wasn’t best pleased with me.

    I'm off to a The Spartans match next month with a Dumbarton supporting mate of mine from down south. I was telling him that my loyalties may be somewhat divided as The Spartans have our boy in goal, not to mention Callum Booth and James Craigen, whom I described to him as the scooter of the most important Thistle goal this century.

    As we're not far off 25% of the way through, what would people's Thistle Eleven of the century so far be?

    Graham and Doolan up front are nailed on, but for the rest things aren't as clear. Should one go by their overall time at Thistle, or could you separate the good seasons from the bad for players like Barton, Osman, Keown, Dumbuya and numerous others who went to shite? Would it be fair to leave out, or include, future Scotland players like Hendry who only made a handful of appearances for us? What about guys who were great for us in the third tier but obviously lesser players than jobbers we had in the Premiership?

    The parameters need clarified before I can feel confident in posting my team of eleven Henoc Mukendis.

    I would imagine Steven Lawless would be included in that 11. Always seems quite a solid, reliable player.

    Railway stand has always been the best view in the stadium Imo. Can understand why it was left to rot with our crowds not needing to have every stand open but it's a shame it's taken this long to really be considered for being brought back up to standard and used again. 

    I had a season ticket there during the 96/97 season and the view was good (i was just about level with the half way line) but i found myself wanting back behind the goals. I miss the enclosure being used, me and my mates would sit between the dugouts on the small wall they had there. Even pop our head around to speak to some of the players (home and away) that were usually quite sound.

  11. Had a lot going on recently with Mrs B and as a result, have been eating late at night most nights. And have had several dreams recently of people wanting to murder me or just beat me up for no reason. Also, last night i had the second dream in a matter of weeks that someone kidnapped me. 
    They bundled me in a minibus and were taking me to Germany. I looked up and my kidnappers were one of my brothers pals, that i have always got on well with. John Collins and Jorg Albertz.

    Do they also have 3 cup competitions where you could meet the same team? 

    As much as i like the spfl trophy (purely because the rovers have went far in it the past 4/5 seasons) do you think cutting us down to just the Scottish cup will help? 
    The issue i would see with that is the fact that the league cup, does bring in revenue (a guaranteed two home games)

    Agree with your post except the bit in bold.

    I don't think there would be any Champions League money rolling in. Scotland probably wouldn't have any automatic places and I doubt our teams would be good enough to get through the qualifying rounds, much like many other similar sized countries to ours. Maybe now an then, but it certainly wouldn't be a regular occurrence. 

    Fair point.

    I don't mind the 12 team league currently tbh. The 10 team leagues below are too small though. The play offs were long over due but I do find it strange that you can come 4th out of 10 teams and still potentially get promoted.

    As strange as this new ruling for the champions league where a side like chelsea could finish 50 points behind city and 4/5 places outside of the “champions league places” but still qualify?

    It's a nailed on certainty. If you have 18 in the top division, you leave a virtual desert below that and the same arguments as now being recycled. The delegates club's will be up in arms about being put in a part time division and they are no longer viable.

    That's before we start on meaningless games.

    We are where we are and comparative crowd figures are good but we have the impression the game is poor, maybe it is, but I haven't seen a single idea that would increase crowds across the board.

    How much of that is media driven and possibly how much is based on how we do in european competitions outside of rangers/cletic?
