  1. A 43% 'handling fee' for a £7 ticket??? Ticketmaster will be overjoyed at the SFA making them look like paragons of virtue in comparison. £3 x 2660 (assuming a sell-out) = £7980. Let that figure sink in. If ATAC are reading, please raise the imposition of these additional charges for ticket pick-up at your next meeting with the SFA. Let it be known that it's not acceptable to fleece the membership with additional charges under the pretext of 'operational costs' for a service that has already been paid for through the membership fee. Operational costs should be borne by the organisation and not the customers/membership.
  2. In fact, he was only sacked after a tepid 2-0 win v San Marino.
  3. To be fair, Sir Steve Clarke's team makes it so easy to erase any memory of Kris Boyd ever having played for Scotland against the Faroes, Georgia, Lithuania, South Africa or anyone else. He was particularly rancid in Skopje v Macedonia, although by no means the only one that day.
  4. 'And once he's in that position, all he has to do is open his legs and shoot for goal.'
  5. Competitive fixtures including League Cup to date: P 29 W 16 D 9 L 4 Including the loss on penalties to Falkirk as a single point and the win at Peterhead as two points, that makes 57 points from 29 games = 1.97 points per game (rounded to two decimal points).
  6. It was a foul - albeit a soft one which was correctly pointed out as such by VAR. Irrespective of whom you support, you would expect an official to see the foul in real time and call it in your team's favour. VAR shouldn't have been disturbed for that incident. Conroy's comments do nothing other than place further scrutiny on the reliability of referees' decisions in the first place.
  7. Furstenberg bottles in Morrisons were £1.75 until Easter, and thereafter £2.00. As of last week £2.25. A near 30% increase in less than 4 months would confirm your theory of price gouging by the new administration.
  8. Six competitive games in - three of which were against lower league opposition. W 2 D 3 L 1 F 11 A 10. Scored in every game, conceded in every game. There's a conclusion to be drawn.
  9. Yet another needless ad hominem attack from you to a fellow poster where you underline your unrivalled qualities as a complete and utter fanny.
  10. While I have some sympathy with this view, I don't want CM anywhere near Firhill. 37 year olds buy-ins are not the future of Partick Thistle FC. Seems to me that Doolan is playing a canny game and adding to his 'assets' very carefully. This is in stark contrast to Archie who seemed to wait until two days before the window shut before panicking and signing less than stellar 'assets' (Milan Nitriansky, Dumbuya, et al). Will never forgive Archie for wasting Stevie Lawless by playing him at LWB almost all of 17-18 season because he hadn't signed left sided defensive cover. Taking Stevie Lawless out of midfield that season cost us majorly. Not to mention persisting with Ryan Edwards and Adam Barton as a defensive 2 in a 4-2-3-1. That was laughable.
  11. The Who were born excellent. Pete and Roger are two who have given so much to music and charity this century but have received nothing in return. And that's before you consider what they achieved musically with John and Keith last century. A most underappreciated band.
  12. Hadn't a clue these mutants were 'walking' today. Kudos to the bar manager in the hostelry I was in this afternoon (Dumbarton Road) who locked the front door and turned up the music as they came past. Never ever thought the Smiths could be enjoyable - however they certainly were today.
  13. Pinball Wizard, Philadelphia Freedom and Someone Saved My Life Tonight were top tier. Bitch its Back, Bennie and the Jets, and Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me were above decent. The rest was disposable. Anyway, back to listening to John McLaughlin and Shakti.
  14. McGinn is the answer, but worth highlighting that James Forrest scored all 5 of his Scotland goals in the same week in the 2018 Nations League (2 v Albania, 3 v Israel).
  15. It was Steve Clarke's choice. Wouldn't be surprised if Patterson featured on Tuesday though.
  16. You wouldn't have been able to. Patterson and Souttar didn't travel as they weren't in the 23.
  17. Outside a Glasgow Hostelry at the foot of Church St tonight, the missus and I were joined at the next table by three lads down from Aberdeen for the Wu Tang Clan concert at the Hydro. The lads were 'oiled' but fine with it, then one asked were we local - Celtic or Rangers? I said 'there are five teams in Glasgow' He said -'Must be St.Mirren then'
  18. That'll be the Leanne Crichton who constantly wets herself at the mention of Brian Graham? Last night - 'Brian Graham knows how to work a back line.' Indeed Leanne.........
  19. Jagfox very quiet today following his implosion last night, n'est ce-pas?
  20. This is a brand new low for SSC marketing to the membership. Would be far more appropriate for them to channel their efforts into securing bigger allocations for our away games rather than spamming us with this total irrelevance.
  21. You'd be delighted if Johnston was at Rangers right now. He's a serious upgrade on the current incumbent. And you know it.
  22. Stephen O'Donnell certainly wants a word about that.
