I like the home strip. The away I really don't like.
I'm not against a twist on the traditional, I think that's being a bit fussy.
May need a 3rd strip like last season, could have couple of issues playing Dundee Utd and Alloa considering socks and shorts black on home strip.

Don't know if it's still there but Flores had a museum, which I visited in the early '90s. It had a stuffed rat, which was about the size of my first car and was apparently, legit.
Aye, quite likely legit. There's a evolutionary phenomena called Island Gigantism and Island Dwarfism. Happens when species are endemic to an island, often the large species get smaller and smaller species get larger. It's dependent on their natural predators in the area they are in.
Creepy phenomena when you start getting 4ft long rats and a 5ft tall swan.

Fair play, Gregor Buchanan and Mark Durnan would be a useful centre half pairing in the Championship, so will be a good pairing in League One. Both prone to a clanger now and again but that's Scottish lower division football.

I was reading recently about how there was a species of human that lived 10,000 years ago in south east Asia called Homo Floresiensis which was pretty much the same as modern humans only they were only 3 feet tall.
And these humans were preyed upon by something called Leptoptilos Robustus which was basically a giant 6 foot tall Marabou Stork.
I don't really like the idea of being preyed upon by anything but being eaten by a giant stork seems especially horrible. It's a creepy animal.
This species of human and stork was endemic to Flores, an Indonesian island. The stork would have been twice the height of the homo floresiensis.
A nicer sounding thing endemic to the island was a dwarf stegodon which was basically an elephant that stood at no more than a metre and a half. All the remains of these species were found in one cave in the north of the island.
Bizarre cave.
Flores is also has an endemic rat species which can be around 2 metres long including tail and 8 times the weight of a common black rat, this species currently exist and give me the fear. The Catman of Greenock would love Flores.

I missed that Dundee game as I was on hols but my brother was visiting Fife and fair enjoyed it. My nephew's first steak bridie (he thought it was a croissant). IIRC we'd played Livi the week before and it was the most one-sided steamrollering I'd ever seen, even though the final score was just 2-1.
Crawford's red card in the 2-2 game at Dens after he punched the ball out of Speroni's hands and he hit the deck holding his face the season before was still fresh. Gave that game a little extra, felt like vengeance.

Stevie needs to channel some of this:

Some of the players on both sides - ooft. No wonder we both went tits up financially.
I remember that game well, I remember not being sure if it was a Crawford hattrick as I'm sure his 3rd came off the post and into the back of Speroni and going in. Hard to believe those days were 17 years ago.

Assuming it's no a telly game opener then it's two bumper crowds and a couple decent performances would give the chance of keeping the numbers up. That's the bright side.
You couldn't really have been handed a much harder start.

I do enjoy watching a young enthusiastic team, so I'm looking forward to seeing how they get on. It's getting to the stage now I just want rid of these empty Saturdays though.
It'll be the usual optimistic August into September, thinking we're not too far adrift of play offs in November, worrying about relegation January and February, token half charge at play offs in March, before finally securing 6th or 7th anyway.

We've re-signed James Vincent.
That's a good move for James Vincent, he can spend the season slowing every bit of play down and still do no wrong with ICT support (and rightly so).

Abney and Teale is another one of the gentle, wistful, overtly middle class kids programmes that I'm trying to get my son into.
Abney and Teale has genuine funny moments, I could sit and watch it with my kids. Same with Hey Duggee.
Blaze and the Monster Machines and Bing are torturous watches.

Trying to watch a film together and she starts talking about or asking about what other films/TV shows certain actors have been in.
I do not give a f**k. Let me enjoy the film.
I do that. Infuriates my wife but I always feel compelled to.
Recently my two favourites are Hugo in Killing Eve is also Maeve's brother in Sex Education and that Raymond in Killing Eve is the narrator and voice of Abney in Abney and Teale.

New Partick Thistle kits. Liking that away kit, simplicity is key and every team should know this (*cough cough* Dundee *cough cough*). LGBT+ influence a nice touch too.
The away strip is something special. Both home and away are crackers though.

Youngest son (4) diagnosed with ASD today, as am I.
Been a long process and a relief to be able to look into further support for him in preparation for school.

Bob Mortimer & Paul Whitehouse on Buxton this week. Utterly joyful stuff.
It's excellent, which could only be expected.

I think it's fantastic. I prefer to give Thistle the benefit of doubt, it's a strong symbol of inclusiveness.
Found the response on twitter staggering.

He moved to Celtic at 14.
Didn't realise it was as early as that. I had it in my head that he'd play in their first team for some reason.

Isn't McGeady another Queen's Park product rather than Celtic?

Considering how we openly pleaded poverty Stevie seems to have had no bother getting folk signed up.
Although it's a common cliche for new signings, Murray and Nesbitt really emphasised that 5 minutes with Crawford and they knew he was someone they wanted to play for. I think I can imagine that he would be very good at selling the club.

How was Vincent last season? Average enough? We've been linked back with him....
I thought the extent at which he slows games down to be an absolute detriment and made it very difficult to create decent chances.

Attributing Stephen Dobbie to Hibs is tenuous and breaks the rules having been at Rangers until he was 20.

I hear what you're saying. Different clubs suit different players. If he's a loan then I'm not arsed one bit, would probably discourage it if anything. Think players can take on a different mindset if it's a permanent transfer though.
I agree, a lot of the time it'll appear to be a different between a loanee and permanent player. Certainly wouldn't chuck a 20 year old on the scrap heap after a supposed poor spell in a division he likely does not want to be near.
Feels like to easy a rumour to make after being linked with a couple of Rovers' players anyway.
