It’s another big day in the title race as Aberdeen visit Firhill. Partick Thistle’s form has been up and down recently, losing to Hearts and Dundee United, beating St Johnstone home and away, winning and losing against Motherwell, all in their last six games. They have not won or lost by more than two goals win or defeat since November.
Aberdeen’s games since the turn of the year have also been tight, a 3-1 defeat at Inverness last month is the only occasion there has been more than a single goal in any of their games. It’s likely to be tight tonight.
A win would put Thistle into the top six, is it too much to ask…….
Natural justice would suggest that Rangers liquidators, BDO, should be allowed to appeal to the Supreme Court on the club’s creditors’ behalf (they were granted permission to appeal this morning). Rangers won the initial decision on a number of their players EBTs, and then the first appeal, so it’s clear there are finer points of law at play.
With Rangers now in liquidation, creditors may wonder why BDO are spending their (diminishing) pot of money on what is sure to be extravagant legal fees, especially as HMRC is the most influential creditor. Liquidators have a responsibility to the creditors to dismiss any claims on creditors’ funds which cannot be substantiated. If the liquidator wins at the Supreme Court, all creditors apart from HMRC will receive a higher payout.
I don’t imagine Supreme Court hearings and written judgements are arranged in a hurry, so put this one on the back burner for a while, but there remains a lot at play here. I’ve tried to steer clear of the issue for a while now, as it’s little more than a distraction, but that’ll change should HMRC win in London.
Good luck to Thistle tonight.

Spurious? – yes indeed, as spurious and far-fetched as those calling for Celtic to make a statement at this time on the Rangers fiasco, when the BDO challenge to HMRC is heading for the Supreme Court and there are umpteen criminal cases outstanding.
Have you ever heard of irony?
Sorry Matt Stewart.

Love your logical approach .
A mate of mine used to compliment Jock Stein thus……..
“He`s just so sensible.”
No higher compliment.

I’ve had a word with my pal,Darlinda…
The Omens are Swell….
We’ll crush the Southside Minnows®
Make no mistake….
Even if they appoint the Grand Wizard MIB himself….
With the Stevie Wonder Twins running the touchlines…
They’ll still be chasing shadows….
Brown and Tierney WILL see us safe….
And then we might get to hear less…
From the Greater Crested Warble-Burton….
For a Wee Spell….?

Sounds like a character from Shakespeare.
Brigton.
Worked at Dunn & Moores bottling plant and warehouse in 1976, aged 16.
Remember being taken to a pub on Friday afternoon after the wages got doled out by a man who was known only as The Sasquatch – nobody knew his real name.
The Sasquatch turned to me at the bar and said in a monotone: “I could get you killed if I just nod my head in here, Fenian. But you helped me on the canning line. So I won’t.”
The walls were covered in the usual foul regalia, but what got me was the posters.
All round the walls, photos of the worst of humanity:
Adolf Hitler – his dates, and beneath that – ROMAN CATHOLIC.
Ian Brady – same.
There were loads, I’ve forgotten over the years.
But my favourite was the Marquis de Sade… picture, dates, ROMAN CATHOLIC.
I think the pub might have been called the Windsor, but I can’t remember, long time ago.
Mr Pastry
I for one am not wanting the club to make any statement about the current huns situation, that would be foolish.
I want them to tell the world about the DOS cheating, the LNS charade and the illegal registration of a host of players.
These are proven FACTS and nothing to do with the current court cases.
Even Auldheid wants them to comment on these things as well, and I trust him over virtually anyone on the planet when it comes to matters Celtic, what he doesn’t know is not worth knowing.

Paul67 on 8th March 2016 8:45 pm…I’m well thanks. Retired now, looking after my wee grandson most days. Great fun. Missed the Bobby Collins thing, I should have written something about him in January on his anniversary, however, my dad was passing away at the same time. I think wee Bobby died 13th Jan, my dad passed away 14th. Hopefully they are having a chat somewhere about the Bhoys.
1-0 the jags
1-0 Thistle
I-0 ‘ Mon the jaggy nettles.
Thank God Aberdeen are so poor
Sad to be depending on Partick Thistle doing us favour
Surely its in the bag now.
Beauty.
Always had a soft spot for Thistle.

Maldonium….No point giving it to our First Eleven…
Apparently doesn’t put hairs on your chest….
But we COULD try them on whatever those Williams Sisters and Navratilova
MIGHT have taken ?
No ?

Another documentary on after Hull Arsenal game about Ali. Got great reviews.
It’s a great watch, and produced by a good Tim as well

Good Evening.
Here is a new piece. An attempted piss-take of the folk ramming the ‘Old Firm’ down our throats.

The Donald, I’m in agreement. No worries whatsoever about the semi-final.
Weebobbycollins, sorry to hear that, hope you and the family are doing OK.
I heard Gary McAllister talk about how Bobby is still talked about in Leeds.
Francesco Totti on to a standing ovation at the Bernabeu
“A win would put Thistle into the top six, is it too much to ask……. ”
‘cough.
Thistle 1 aberdeen 1
Great welcome from Real Madrid players and fans for Totti
It would be great to have 2 Glasgow clubs in the top six in Scotland.
;o)
2-1 Sheep
