Back then, although Glasgow had fairly liberal licensing hours, you had to hang on until 1730 down there to get a pint. So as soon as the doors were unlocked, so to speak. Think that may be the message behind the comedy series of the same name too, set in South Manchester. That rings accurate, but I don't remember the show. I see it was co-written by Craig Cash of Royle family so I will need to seek it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not important right now I had a wee Google check and the phrase early doors originally from the theatre to charge a slight extra charge to get a better seat with good view in the 1870s around 100 years later the phrase was used by coaches to advise the chaps not to loose an early goal. The things you learn . Thats a decent price for the thistle game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a good PPV from Thistle and I hope I can still be as relaxed during the game. Take care 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond10 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I'm in this, so ye know it's good... ... quiet back there! Enjoyed the podcast . Surprised the last minute winner that Simon lynch scored there (08/09) wasnt mentioned . Think it relegated Clyde and ensured thistle couldn’t win the league . Big hint of offside too. Very pleasing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Duffy and Alan Porteous on part 1 for us, Stephen Docherty talking about being an ex Diamond and Jag in part 2 and John Kane as a life long Jag in part 3 Listening to it in stages whilst a boring Arbroath game is on ( just conceded a goal so excitement at last) . The analysis of where we are has been much to my liking , and I agree about the lack of a scoring edge from open play will be significant. What seemed to be missing amongst all the player assessment was the enigma that is Paul McKay ( I don't recollect his name coming up, and it was around 28 mins when Alan mentioned the long throw) I want see a 4-4-2 but he is not one of the two. As to Firhill memories one of my favourites was when Steven McKenna in taking a corner, actually kicked the flag out. We a also rarely scored in many of our recent trips so let's hope Saturday is better. I have now linked on to Andy's blogs and they are very good reading, as is OTL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very pleasing I had forgotten about that game, we were in danger of going down as well, remember the celebrations well when Lynch scored that day...... My personal favourite was a midweek League Cup tie at the start of the ill fated Archibald era, when the newly recruited Spanish Armada took on the Partick, San Juan was pinging balls about that park as if it was game of fifa, Big crowd plenty singing and a late penalty winner by Austin McCann. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Reed Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Best streaming up to now, pity about result, high balls from the start at not clue in front of goals, they were there for the beating but we were not good enough, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond72 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 The last time we played them was in the cup last year and we lost. I remember commenting then that if we had more positive and had a real go at them we would have got a result. Today was exactly the same, set up to score from set pieces and break aways...dreadful to watch. Everything for Partick today centered around Docherty...why did it take us until the second half to put him under real physical pressure? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointed at the result though we start each game with 9 of the chaps from last year was hopefull some of the " exciting " new signings would be more positive in games. Still early days onwards and upwards...... hopefully 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_H Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 If we can't beat a Partick team who play that badly, better not get too excited for this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hard to tell from a TV screen whether the 2 referee decisions were merited, but Kyle McDonald ought to have stopped what became a great shot by Spittal. We did have good possession in the first half and seemed to be getting plusses from both wings, even if it was from direct play rather than stylish football. Currie did save us from going behind but I think we deserved the opening goal from a good move and cross by Crighton. Had we gone in 1 up at half time it would have kept the edge. Thistle took a lot from that and we were well out of the game for that spell before they went 2 up. Taking Sabatini off to move McKay back into midfield tells me that Paul is undroppable and it was a mistake as it let Thistle dominate for a while. It was only long throws by Connell and humping into the box which dragged us back in. Their goalie did make a great save from Thomson and we might have got that equaliser but a killer touch is lacking. Interested to see Murray berating the Ref at the end so maybe a sense of injustice will help next week. It was typical of what L1 games will be and a sign of how tough it will be-the only team to take the lead and lose because we needed a 2nd. Much better TV stream so well done Thistle.
