Big Col Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Aye, there's more of us than people think. Did she ask the usual question - My husband and son are Thistle fans: you must know them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No,i was asked about drinking and smoking ,I said my only bad habit was going to Firhill.She spoke very well of Thistle said her son wanted a tour of Firhill for his birthday but was told Thistle didn't normally do that,but when they found out it was for her sons birthday they arranged a tour with Robert Reid giving the history. Which her son was really happy with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Jag Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I was in New York in 2006, walked out of my hotel room in Queens to be confronted by a guy wearing a Jags top. Had a brief chat with him at Firhill on one of my all too infrequent trips up a couple of years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dan Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 In 2015 we were on holiday in Marmaris, standing outside a jewellers in the bazaar when the owner engaged us in conversation. Hearing our accent he asked the inevitable, "Rangers or Celtic?". Before we answered he added, "I am a Thistle fan". Apparently he has a friend from Edinburgh who visits him who is a big Jags fan and he has followed us since they met. Always suspicious, I asked if he had heard the score that day. He then told me what I already knew, and could name the scorers. (3-0 to us against Dundee Utd). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 The summer following the Peterhead play off win I was heading back from the South of France and had an overnight stop in Burgundy. My motor had a Jags sticker on the back window. Lo' and behold another car pulls in and parks beside me. it too had a Jags sticker on its back window. Jags fan in question was heading south. eta and of course, Dick Campbell famously once did my gutters and soffits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
