The Woodside on the otherhand I felt always just kinda put up with fans. They've both since done U-turns IMO. At last check, the S&G was an attempted *** shop and Thistle fans were the second priority, yet since the Woodside was sold it seemed to embrace the fans much more. I drove by the Star the other night and it was shut. I heard it was also shut or at least closed early the day of the Livingston game. f**k, I mind the days when Thistle fans would drink in the Royalty and even ran a bus from it. The Jackie Husband. RIP. One of the best buses going. Kenny, Auld Alec and Big Tam were some characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I like Thistle but don’t like the franchise that is Ross County. It’s not their fans fault though, I’m sure they’re a decent bunch. Thye also cheated us out of the next round of the cup a few seasons back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thye also cheated us out of the next round of the cup a few seasons back. Assuming you’re speaking about the 2-2 at EEP in the Scottish a couple year ago. Can just remember Dunfermline having multiple goal-line scrambles with us scoring a really dodgy pen. Return match was a stinker but somehow got ourselves through, to play Linlithgow Rose, if that’s right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Brian Graham elbowed Talbot in the head off the ball to stop him tracking back deliberately. Despite a head knock play wasn't stopped then you ran on and got a penalty. We would've won the game without that decision imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross County isn't just Dingwall, it's the entire northern highlands. A significantly larger catchment area than Dunfermline actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try reading the post and then go and google the population of the Northern Highlands in comparison to Dunfermline. It’s interesting having a populationwank rather than a crowdwank. Congratulations...

Even if any of that were true, and it isn’t, that still doesn’t equate to being a “franchise”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have enough of a vivid memory of Martin Woods watching at the half-way line, while Jackson Irvine had to try and repel every Dunfermline attack on his own, particularly for the sitter where Fox unknowingly saved with his bum. I mind being raging at the time and don't want that to resurface again! De Vita scored a lovely volley in an otherwise forgettable replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
