  1. Jags fan Alex Melrose submitted a Freedom of Information request to find out who made, and when, the decision to take the penalties at the Ross County end. This is the response he received. The grammar, typos etc are embarrassing in the Police response, but a precedent has clearly been established. The home team get to choose which end the penalties get taken - it just needs the home team safety officer to say so. With Neil Doncaster in attendance, can we ever expect anything else?
  2. Not so sure about that - it was known for the odd dribble every now and then........
  3. Auld Jag - watch out, they're coming after you!
  4. Hence the inspiration for Lindisfarnes's song "Fog on the Tine"!
  5. Any decent child psychologist will tell you not to reward bad behaviour. Allowing Neil Doncaster to present the League 1 trophy would have been to reward his bad behaviour.
  6. Kit Atkinson, 63. Born in Newcastle, family moved from Liverpool to Bishopbriggs when I was 4 years old. My friends and I did not have anyone to take us to the football and their dads came from Maryhill, so Firhill was the only choice. We had to wait until we were 14 years old to be able to go on our own (that means 1972, missed the cup final dammit!). Still remember getting lifted over occasionally at 14 years old! Frank Coulston was one of my PE teachers at Bishopbriggs High School for three years before he left to go to Denny High School (for others who went to Bishopbriggs High School, "Jumping Jimmy" was the other PE teacher!). Spoke to Frank at the 40th Cup Final Anniversary celebrations at Hampden, and he still remembered me - I was heavily involved in sports at high school. Fate brought my wife and I together, as it turned out she was also a Thistle fan. We have both been volunteering at the club for 21 years now, initially selling programmes and 50/50s then looking after the ballboys and ballgirls. My wife Fiona is also the club's Child Wellbeing and Protection Officer.
  7. This is a great story....had me chuckling! https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/mar/11/the-unlikely-story-of-how-dundee-united-became-an-insult-in-nigeria?utm_source=pocket-newtab-global-en-GB
  8. I hope that the next time Neil Doncaster* visits Firhill, the stewards accompany him to his reserved seat - in the middle of the John Lambie Stand! * not that the cowardly snake would be brave enough to come anywhere near Firhill
  9. I pinched this picture from the Hearts Kickback forum because it made me laugh, and we can always do with a laugh. It was posted in response to the Dundee United statement (which is proof of parallel universes, as clearly "sporting integrity" has a completely different meaning in their's) looking to round up cash from other clubs and supporters:
  10. I'm assuming the SFA Compliance Officer will now be investigating Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers for taking to the courts without going through the SPFL first?
  11. If the season had been completed, the bottom clubs would have been relegated, and play offs determined any others. The fact that the season was not completed, does this perhaps mean that Hearts, Thistle and Stranraer have an argument that the clubs that voted to relegate them, have effectively acted as a cartel to vote to financially disadvantage a competitor company? Is this not anti-competitive? Could this form a persuasive legal argument? In this case it does not matter what the SPFL rules say.
  12. If it went to court and Thistle won, then the other SPFL clubs will owe us money. And this surely would constitute a football debt? Ergo, Celtic won't be allowed to play in the Champions League with an outstanding football debt, would they?
  13. I thought BB's first design was a cracker, but wondered what it would look like with the colours wrapped around the family crest. Then got thinking about other options as well..... Happy to go with BB's original, or any others!
  14. Definitely my favourite team in 48 years of watching Thistle. The ease in which the key members of that team rolled back the years playing in Dools' Testimonial still brings a lump to my throat. For those of you quick at arithmetic, yes, I admit it, I am a gloryhunter. I started going to Thistle matches in 1972!
  15. It may have appeared strange but it was our only option on the evening as we could only get 3 ballboys for the game! With one for each of the Bing, JHS and John Lambie Stand, it was left to yours truly to cover one half of the Colin Weir Stand (the First Aiders covered the other half, as they are situated behind the barrier for any balls that went over). As I am fast approaching my 62nd birthday, does this make me Thistle's oldest ever ballboy? Should I be looking forward to my Hall of Fame entry? And yes, I also thought it worked very well that evening.
