Trogdor Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Thoroughly enjoyed the game last week. Never felt uncomfortable although Patrick had a lot of crosses we dealt with them well. Bit of a bummer losing Kerr, will McCall move Robbie into the middle and start McDaid? Or play it a bit safer and play Docherty or Bell in there? Oooh to have options!

Armand 2 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 That looming sense of dread must signal the (proper) start of the season. It always augurs well when you can see the first game of the season far enough. Was absent last Saturday, thankfully so by the sounds of it. Ayr will have their tails up and Somerset is never a particularly easy to go at the best of times. Shankland is the obvious threat but unless we're able to match Murdoch and Crawford in the middle of the park, it's going to be a similar story. Have fond memories of Somerset such as: Watching Chic Charnley lose the rag and get sent off. Getting stuck under a massive flag behind the goal and missing most of the first half of a Scottish Cup tie where Neil Tarrant buried us. Going to a Challenge Cup game in a t-shirt with the intention of going to see Dave Pearce at Freshers Week afterwards. Alex Williams scored in the last minute to take it to extra time and it was fucking baltic. Of course, lost in ET. Never got up the road until after 11 and everybody was already stocious. Fond as f**k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsfan57 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I remember a game at Somerset. It was either late August or near the end of the season in glorious sunshine. Thistle won 3-1 and I am sure McWalter scored 2. The guy beside me spent the whole game biting his nails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't manage even a single competitive goal for the Thistle first team. He did, however, crock John Martin so he's forgiven for his lack of goals. And talent.

My abiding memory of McWalter was his inability to change direction, either with or without the ball, despite his lack of speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Looking forward to being in a league with opposition that actually bring fans, decry Somerset as much as you want when there is a decent crowd the atmosphere is 2nd to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Is Geggan back for us tomorrow, isn't mentioned in the team news, disappointing Moore won't be back. Reckon we'll line up like this :DoohanFerguson Rose Bell/Adams Harvie McDaid Crawford Murdoch Forrest Moffat Shankland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cup quarter final in 99/00 was one of my favourite ever football experiences atmosphere wise. Proper old school. The entire ground was packed with hundreds of Thistle fans locked out.

I didn’t even have Adams in my 18 when everyone was fit so he’s came a long way, he was terrific up at Firhill so dropping him would be extremely harsh. ETA: No mention of Geggan being injured in preview so would get him back in for Ferguson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yid_in_Exiile Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 If Partick score first this could be a nail biter. That said, I still have Ayr to steal this one. Won't be so straightforward as last week, Thistle cannot be that bad two games in a row. Really hope Geggan is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Part of me hopes that Geggan is back, but in the back of my mind I know that if he gets rushed back he’ll just be injured again in another few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
