Kevin Muscat

Airdrie. Celtic. Rangers. Dundee United

That pretty much sums it up for me.

I use Avast and I'm happy with it. I've heard that Panda Cloud AV, Microsoft Security essentials and Ashampoo AV are all supposed to be pretty good, and they're all free.

:lol: Not quite. I, unfortunately, have no rose tinted specs on when it comes to Thistle. Went to my 1st game in 12 years when I was back home for a visit last year. They lost. At home. To Airdrie. I'd still like to be able to go and see them though. ...and there is no tartan in my house. Or shortbread.

Why should you start going back to firhill? Because you can! Some of us would love to be able to get along to Firhill again every other week and revel in the highs and lows, the anguish, the loathing, the joy, the despair. I'd probably have a pie too.

Well, if we're moving into solo "artistes": Celine Dion, Alanis Morrisette, Phil Collins.....

I read somewhere that they're quite good Most annoying? First two names to come to mind are Coldplay and U2.

One of the reasons that I don't actually post very much (but read often) is that I don't see the team play every week. So I don't believe I'm in a position to criticise, or praise, the players and make informed comments on how the team are performing (although that doesn't stop some people!). I have to base opinions on what I read and hear from various sources, and they vary depending on what I read or who I talk to.

Level 42 are one of many examples of a group of technically very proficient musicians getting together and pooling their collective talents to produce shite.

Name and Shame

If Ken Bates showed up now I'd cut his nuts off

Same IQ, I'd think.

Did he have his shirt off!!

That's a fair call. Although he did look good in Aussie, he's stacked the pounds on and did have a few injuries while he was there.

That would be an interesting one. He looked pretty useful for Brisbane in the A League, and I know he didn't get another contract for Gold Coast United, so he may well be back in Scotland. From what I saw of him playing in the Aussie league, he could still do a job at 1st Division level.

I'll stick something fairly vague about Aussie and Kiwi meet-ups in the next newsmail. See if we can get some idea of who's interested. If you Aussie fellas want to organise something, PM me (or e-mail me at the Nomads address - [email protected]) with some more details.

I'll get my wife to type this for me, as it's difficult to type with my poor old wizened, arthritic fingers. As I suspect you know, young McKennan, the reason that you've never seen the guitar playing lad Joolz at Firhill is, as someone else has already suggested, that he probably lends his support to the green and white mob from the East End.

The Nomads have got some cash left over from our appeal for sponsorship donations. We've already sponsored Bryn Halliwell's shirt so, as the donations are now drying up, we're planning to put the extra cash into the WAT pot

Simon Storey signed for North Queensland Fury in the A League (The club Robbie Fowler's with). Not exactly headline news, but the mention of Thistle made me smile. We obviously got promoted and didn't realise it! Just as an aside, how minging is that strip? Storey signs for North Queensland

I'd be very surprised if Joolz and Dante are Thistle fans. Alan Thornton, their original drummer, is a big Jags fan tho'.

As the flow of funds into the Nomads pot seems to have dried up somewhat, we've had some discussions around whether we should just close our appeal for donations and add what's in there now to the We Are Thistle sponsorship fund. It doesn't look like the Nomads are going to raise enough for any further sponsorship on their own. Thoughts?

Should be 'what's'. Sorry, was feeling left out. Pedants of the World unite.
