  1. I'm normally the first to defend him but I thought he has a very poor game today.
  2. I was at both finals. The 87 final was a crap match but one of the best experiences of my life. It led to a trip to Mechelen and is something I will always treasure. However... ... I was only 21 and probably took it all in my stride. This time around, I had a real awareness that this might be the last time I would ever see my team lift a national trophy at Hampden. In 1987, my Mum and Dad were supporting the Buddies and I was at the match with my best mate... ... By 2013, my Mum, Dad and good friend were all dead! I was determined to soak up every second of this final... and I did so. I find it impossible to say which was the better achievement or occasion... but I know for sure what one meant more to me emotionally and psychologically... and if that makes me a twat, so be it mate.
  3. Totally agree... ... the bike in the corner has been rusting since Mooy left!!!
  4. I was at both games and Danny was sitting not far behind me at the Hearts match! Graingers experience saved us several times as he didn't dive in but held up two attackers at a time till support eventually arrived. Very impressed by Grainger today.
  5. Taylor-Sinclair is their lb, O'Donnell their rb. Very impressed with their whole defence which is young, mobile, well organised and solid.
  6. I tried to warn folks that Thistle are a well organised and good footballing side, but was derided as "we should be beating teams like that"! If they had a good striker they would be a match for any side in the league. They won't be relegated.
  7. McGown ended up playing far too deep and that allowed Thistle to push up and press us... at least Harkins played on the front foot and tried to cause problems at the other end of the pitch.
  8. Agreed. Possibly looking at Newton on the riggt and McGinn on the left to use their energy to negate any threat from their full backs.
  9. Not many Saints fans thought Brittain had what he has gone on to show though. Jon is younger and may well develop into that kind of player... I wouldn't be surprised if he did... but then again, as with all young players, he could well drop off the radar.
  10. cheers for that. nothing too controversial... I'd be upset if he wasn't upset. I reckon he's a decent player and may well reappear in the SPL like Brittain did after leaving us... but at this time, the move suits us, him and the Blue Brazil.
  11. True to a point. They were given the option of extending the deadline to Monday to keep them in line with other Associations who do not class Saturday as a working day. The SFA elected to stick to the Saturday. Not clever, as Scottish clibs can now lose players after Saturday and then do nothing about it.
  12. Never mind that: did you see how he used the comma and full stop?
  13. John... before the Killie match had even started, I had people in front, behind and beside me moaning and complaining about all things Saints. When I suggested they keep it positive at least until the match had started, you would have thought I had stabbed someone. Results since then do not fill me with confidence that our "support" is actually capable of supporting! !!
  14. Perhaps a forum is also a place where contributors can indulge in what is commonly known as 'banter'?
  15. Great post. Are you available for transfer? More teams will play with a lone striker than 442 this season.
  16. Why don't you go f***k yourself? Is that ok for you? Now elvis, I realise that you have been dead for 35 years now, but to some, punctuation is important. To help you out, I have corrected your post. A simple 'copy and paste' will suffice until you get the hang of it.
  17. I try not to mix up "expect" and "hope", but 40 years experience can cause cynicism to creep up on you unawares. I always think "expecting" to win is exclusively an OF trait. I believe we have the ability to win... but I "expect" my team to do their level best, nothing more. On that sole expectation I have been let down recently. I don't know how you cope with your higher "expectations" bud.

  19. I actually realise the error of my ways... it should have read "two or more" in the interests of accuracy!
  20. Much better... and not a hint of sarcasm either. Now... is there anything in particular that you would like to know about Partick Thistle?
  21. faraway by name... faraway by maturity and debating ability apparently. Thanks for the niceties... at least I know what level to pitch ongoing conversations... ... (conversations... two people talking!!!) I support the club fine thanks. I intend to continue doing so too. Can I ask... why participate in a discussion forum if you are unable or unwilling to participate in reasoned adult discussion and debate without resorting to pettiness?
  22. so what do you reckon Danny and TC will base their tactics and formation on then and on what basis do you feel that by playing well we will hump them when DUFC, Jambos and Ross County have all failed to?
