Jaggernaut Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 One of those oh so many "big" occasions when our team pretty much totally failed to rise to the occasion. But the nearly 1,000 Thistle supporters before, during and after the match more than made it into what will always be a great memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 are there any actual figures for how many we had at the match? We had to have a ticket so there must be some record. I think most estimates were between 500-1000, somehow 700 sticks in my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jags on tour Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Does anyone have a photo of the fans in the stadium in Metz? There’s a big one in the Aitken Suite with all the fans that me and my brother are in but we’re right at the bottom corner just in shot.

Earnock Jag Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Just watched it. Was a bit disappointed that it was mostly talking heads but great memories. I was on the ill fated bus and remember ( vaguely) the pub in Gillingham. I’m sure the landlord wore the blue tartan Morton top emblazoned with Buchanan Toffees. Still have the Daily Ranger from Monday 10/07/1995 which was bought in Gretna services on the way home where most of the punters from the bus appeared in the photo next to the match report. Happy days ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1876 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Yes i was also on the ill fated bus that broke down in france then outside gillingham I was one of 3 whos bags weren't transferred to the other bus and had no change of clothes. As for gillingham i remember when leaving to get our bus after it arrived to take us home The landlord leaving with a baseball bat to argue with the local taxi drivers Funniest moment in metz Was the lad who was so drunk he slept in and missed the game Then he was told it was on later on in French tv He was soo drunk he missed it second time around But he wouldn't have missed it for the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate and me were the ones that the bus left at Forton services and we were lucky to get a lift on the Station Bar buses. I swear to this day the buses left a few minutes early and I never understood why they never did a headcount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balintore jag Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 I took a plane to Brussels which connected with a wee plane on to Luxembourg. There I met two German thistle fans from the Bobby Barnes Supporters club. We took the train to Metz and there we met the other Bobby Barnes German jags fans. One of them had brought a supply of irn brew which he got in Germany and handed it round. Well received! They had all been at University in Glasgow. What a hot night it was. We nearly got a draw when Derek McWilliams hit the post but it would have been a bit of a steal. Great night mingling with the Metz fans after the game. I got a very late train back to Luxembourg where I stayed for a day. On the local TV next night they had a big report on the game including highlights. Near the end of their report the two panellists talked about the fans and showed a clip of the jags fans. They seemed to be saying "fantastic support" . They then had a discussion on how to pronounce our name. "Parteek heessell" said one . "No" said the other pundit it is "Parteek seezel" . Even in Luxembourg city before I left next day I saw several Thistle fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
