Good post and analysis. Of the options you mention the only two - imo - he couldn't touch were Dalglish and Jordan (and yet still scored in WC82 alongside both). Mo Johnston in 89/90 may well have been of a similar standard, but none of the others were remotely close to him in terms of contribution.

Be realistic, we'd take anyone of our players - let alone strikers - doing that much in a Scotland shirt now. It's a bit like those who say Andy Murray is a failure. If three Grand Slams, two Olympic Golds and a Davis Cup is considered a failure of a career, then where can we sign up for it?

A complete turn-off of a panelist, and I'm being reasonably temperate in that comment. Michelle Dewberry is another one whose presence on a screen invites objects to be launched in its general direction.

Really - Is there any need for this? A while ago you would post well thought out and good content. Why have you defaulted to unnecessary stuff like the above?

For a self-professed Raith Rovers fan, you seem to be unusually exercised about the misbehaviour of another club's fans. Care to explain?

Newspapers and BBC Scotland News shape their rhetoric to suit a particular agenda. But you're an intelligent man, so you'll already be aware of that.

Facts from a newspaper? Oxymoron. My rivals? I'm a Thistle fan FFS!! My pal? Never met the guy, but never had a problem with the vast majority of his posts. Similarly with almost every other poster. You, on the other hand, are a complete nutjob. Whatever you choose to comment on.

You continually expose your bias towards one particular organisation, despite claiming to follow another team. In addition, your obsession with Ramy, who imo is a good poster (particularly so recently) is nothing short of creepy. It would be a huge benefit to the board if your account was terminated.

Not worth the trouble.

That leap is only easy if the cash-flow is there to support it. I know nothing at all about Sevco's current flows and liabilities - they could be sound for all I know - but to suggest that you can move forward on the presumption of 15000 people who have yet to commit...............

Uhm...no. That is simplistic. Have you ever trialled your theory?

The TA Board is a forum which is read by females and young people. Your trivialisation of this unsavoury incident is absolutely unacceptable.

You have a very poor understanding of mathematics and probability theory. Speaking as a Partick Thistle and Scotland fan, the last fourteen days have reinforced that NOTHING is impossible.

So not at all 'guaranteed' then.

On what basis is it 'guaranteed' if we beat Georgia??

No.

Between this and your spamming of the Norway thread - perhaps you should consider cognitive behavioural therapy. You've openly gone from us being utterly undeserving against Norway to now being certainties to qualify? Sorry man - you just do not make any credible sense.

Not having that. They are in the ground and feeling the same emotions/adrenalin rush that all of us who couldn't be at the game did when Scotland scored the second one. They have every right to do so. Are you suggesting Davie Provan's doomy voice would be preferable?

Because you are like a dog with a bone. You've gone on about it ad infinitum since Saturday, and continually bored us all with the same opinion in the face of some very intelligent and measured responses from other posters. Maybe pack your hand in and give repeatedly spamming the forum a rest?

...

????? What's your point caller?

Unlikely that any side that finishes 11th will fancy Thistle. Since Saint Kris of Doolan took over P17 W10 D6 L1 F40 A10 and 11 clean sheets.

The very one.

23rd October 1971 springs to mind.

Strange thing is, we (Thistle) weren't that good tonight. Even then, we could/should have had another few goals (Graham x 2, Fitzpatrick x 2, Turner). That said, using the same metric, Ayr could/should have had three of their own (McGuire early on, Dempsey and Smith at the end). We're in an excellent position but have to start better next Friday.
