Jags have a 0% win rate at Forfar in the Scottish Cup, can we put it right tomorrow? Hands up all the late teens / early 20s who only paid poor Forfar £1 in 1988? (plenty left over for bridies and bovrils!) Full hub up tonight; the great escape... 👀

Beautiful funeral service for George today. Standing room only. So much love in the room.
Sorry to hear of the passing last week of lifelong Jag GEORGE MORRIS, aged 89. Was a member of the PTFC history & memorabilia group. An electrical engineer, he played his part in the first floodlights; aged 19, he got the honour of switching them on, exactly 70 yrs ago. 🇧🇪🔆

Those who were there will never forget Station Park 2001, and PAUL McGRILLEN is forever remembered. Globally, 1 man dies of suicide every minute, every day. The issues are complex, but #Movember is positive; it's good to talk above all else.
