  1. Congratulations to Gleniffer Thistle 2009s winning their league again with a thumping 4-0 win v St Anthony's last night. Remarkably this team have won their 4 league titles since they went into the league setups. I don't know for certain if this has ever been achieved at various age groups before but I suspect not.
  2. I agree it's unlikely but Saints have proven to be resilient and, as I said in the Hibs thread, Celtic will probably field a "weakened" side with the cup final looming, so we can but live in hope of being the proverbial party poppers.
  3. Haven't seen the highlights but the fact this group of players came back from the brink doesn't surprise me in the least. Not quite the result we wanted but they've done us proud. It's in the stars. Made top six in the last game prior to the split. Now we get to make fifth and spoil a party in the last game post split. I would suspect Celtic will start with a team filled with fringe players. Though that will still be formidable we could have a chance. My concern is, even if we manage a complete avoidance of defeat in the top six fixtures the two poor form teams are up against each other so god only knows how that could pan out.
  4. If someone had said we'd win 2 and draw one in the top six league I would have doubted their sanity. More than that. I think we deserved more from the first one. The character this group of players have shown speaks volumes of the ability of our coaching and scouting staff. At this moment in time I wouldn't count them out against any opposition. Hope you all enjoy the game, the result and the celebrations. Missing this one too. Serves me right for not trusting in Robbo.
  5. Fantastic result. I predicted the score more in hope but it seems I should have been underestimating the numbers. Third game after the split and undefeated. What a team. What a coaching staff. The European dream lives on.It appears the lucky one booked the trip to Dundee and not Rhodes like me. I will again be watching from afar to see if the lads can complete the job,..... almost, on Wednesday. COYS!!!!!
  6. Sunning in Rhodes so won't make this one. Goodie's guys 0-2 Good guys
  7. Worse than that Shull. They sold Brockville and got the new stadium for nowt. Some fans are still wondering what happened to the 11? million.
  8. The perfect day. Watched my grandson's team, Gleniffer, outplay Knightswood in the under 16's with 10 men, (6-0), to go 2 points clear with a game to go. (They looked dead and buried just a few games ago), then watched Saints keep their hopes of Europe alive with a tremendous, deserved win v the dons. Possibly should have been a bit more comfy at the end but we are still in the hunt.
  9. Fantastic news. Having a very good number 1 actually signed and not rushing around finding a loanee will be a big boost. BUT. What does this mean for young Urminsky? He's now around the 26 mark and is still the proverbial best man, never the groom.
  10. I know his team are likely to win the treble but, REALLY??? Rodgers, Gray & McGlynn shortlisted for manager of the year - BBC Sport Gray and McGlynn. Yes. But with a massive budget does Rogers deserve to even be nominated? I'd question his abilities if he didn't manage to get close to winning everything in Scotland.
  11. I didn't know that, obviously, but it is great news. He's a quality player with the heart of a lion.
  12. I know it's out of our hands but, if at all possible, I'd push the boat, the dinghy and the kitchen sink out to get Phillips to stay.
  13. Due to bad planning this will be my last home game of the season. Hopefully a winning finale and someone getting the use of our STs for the Hibs game. Also hoping, against hope, the game has meaning as far as league position is concerned. There is no reason to think a win is beyond us so, unusually, I will give a prediction. 2-1 Saints.
  14. Good luck to Toyosi. A great piece of business by Saints and a great opportunity for him. I have to say. It's not a place I would feel comfortable going to work with all the noises coming from over there with this strange administration but I'm sure it'll be different for a professional "soccer player".
  15. Rangers confirm takeover talks with US investors But is it the club or the company? 🤣🤣
  16. That would equate to a win in the zombies' eyes. I am not religious in any way but I still think the pope was an important part of many lives in this country so I say. We give a minutes applause and, if they disrupt it, the players in their team that are practicing catholics, (it looks like there are a few given the crossing when entering the field of play), will see what a disgusting, sectarian, dead club they have chosen to play for. Just for the cash.
  17. Went along with the Geniffer Thistle under 16s to the Netherlands for the Holland cup. Unfortunately, a bad cold had me under the weather all through the trip. The weather was great throughout. The lads did really well to get to the final before finally losing to a team from Newcastle. A team they had already triumphed over with relative ease in the earlier rounds. Such a disappointment, but a big well done to all who participated. On the plus side. The parents knew how to enjoy the surroundings and were great company
  18. True. But having such evil watching over? He'll be turning in his grave. Coffin.
  19. As I said. He was getting plaudits, and not JUST for the Celtic game, before his injury but, when he came back, he looked afraid to turn and run and didn't seem to want to get involved. In the last few games he has shown glimpses of his old self. If he had scored a dozen goals he wouldn't be with us now. Look at what's happening with Olusanya without double figures in the league.
  20. It is great to have 3 home games but that was always going to be the case. An extra one v Hibs though. Maybe we'll burst the Gray bubble. The bit in bold? I don't believe we've ever done that in the whole of their thirteen year existence. 🤔
  21. Ayunga is only now starting to show what he had a couple of seasons ago before his injury. I was talking with some cellicfootballclub fans who were waxing lyrical about how he played against them then and how he played on Saturday. Albeit the latter was probably on the strength of what little highlights they saw.
  22. I have never been a member of the supporters club but, at worst, the current club members should be able to purchase their seasonal tickets at the same price with no more than an inflationary rise.
  23. It's tight. I'm glad we aren't involved.
