  1. Why punish them for having a big support?

    Ah but there's 2000 of us that brings it down to 70 000-1. It's coming home.
  3. Aw shit. I remember the last time that happened. Kidding.
  4. Just to clarify I would expect us to be at least in the play off next season. This season I'll settle for reversing 18 months of horror.
  5. My take on it is the players have until January to prove themselves and the manager has until May. Caldwell's biggest problem will be he won't be able to replace all the dead wood in January. His task is to get us clear of the play off spot well before the season finishes and to have concrete signs that we will be at least heading for the proper play offs next season.
  6. At the time the vast majority of the support were disappointed he didn't take the post permanently.
  7. Seriously? you've not been paying attention then.
  8. The lesson from the the two "2 footed tackles" is if you're on the receiving end don't try to win the ball, you might make contact with your assailant. Just jump up out the way and writhe about and the perpetrator will be sent off.
  9. On a week where two other players had their red cards rescinded and Thistle were denied a stonewall penalty. the spotlight is on bad decisions against Rangers. I think Pedro knows exactly what he's doing and don't fancy any team getting a 50-50 decision v Rangers for a while
  10. Doctor Doctor when will I be able to reach for crosses. Probably 2 months. That's great because I couldn't before it popped out. Kidding. KIDDING.
  11. If you exclude the top 2 from any league their figures won't look as impressive.
  12. In that case, in the context of Scottish football so are Thistle. Why are we here?
  13. How many different centre halves has he played alongside? He is still only 20 of course he'll make mistakes,but he's still at least 6 years from his peak.
  14. Let's get things in perspective. Luxembourg's a Giant compared to Gibraltar.
  15. Drainage as well according to this article in the Times. http://www.eveningti...figure_upgrade/
  16. Countries of a similar size as Scotland (population not area) according to wiki Scotland comes 25th in population table. We are currently 23rd in UEFA Coefficients. In the last single decade we have never been lower than 25th but have been as high as 10th. To me that is over achieving. In the UEFA rankings we are between Poland UEFA 22nd (pop.38m) and Azerbaijan UEFA 24th (pop 9.6m) and in the population rankings we are between Slovakia UEFA ranked 32 and Norway UEFA ranked 20. I'll repeat that I think our clubs are failing to develop talent. That has already ****** up the National team and failing to bring on young talent and over spending on imports sent our biggest club to the wall.
  17. Compared to other countries of our size yes. If you compare it to England, Germany and Spain, no. But why would you compare us to countries with 10 times our population.
  18. According to UEFA's coefficients we are 23rd out of 54 so the evidence says we are one of better leagues and for the size of our country we probably over achieve. The part that can't be argued is that we have become really poor at developing our own talent and considering how wealthy our league and clubs are that is indeed embarrassing.
  19. I'm struggling here. Roughy,?, Frank Coulston Dennis McQuade, Bobby Lawrie, I think Alex Rae Based solely on red hair and tache. ?,?,?, Davie MacParland.
  20. Now we know why Clyde wanted to move to Shettleston,. To sell clothes pegs to the away support at Parkhead.
  21. It's already been pointed out that when you replace a 2nd home game with Celtic with a 2nd home game with Inverness. A 2nd Aberdeen with a second St Johnstone. 2 Hearts with 2 Hamilton 2 Hibs with 1 Dundee 1 Ross Co Add in the one Celtic game with Celtic was a midweek February game and the bumper 7800 v Dundee united in our first game back in the Premier league and you've accounted for over 20000 of the 27000 missing supporters. That leaves about 350 a game. Most of that imo is down to the novelty visits from teams we hadn't played in a while. Home and visiting supporters. But apparently that's an excuse and not a reason.
  22. I believe it's like for like. So if we were to charge less for sitting behind the goal we wouldn't have to charge the away support less as they would have the same view as the Thistle supporters in the JH.
