It is. The streets mentioned in the posts above were in Drumchapel.

I thought the Drum was Drumchsoel?

Credit to Graham/Wilson for changing our shape at HT.. seemed to force Falkirk wide into throwing crosses into the box which were easily defended. Going 10 v 10 gave us a breather and (I think?) we changed again to 4.3.2 in an attempt to find a winner. Dan was deservedly MOTM and provider the assist for Terry’s neat twisted header.

Left for work after catching first half and not gonna lie feared the worst. Work going like a fair at start of shift so the absolute joy of now checking phone. Iplayer this wkend. Great result Jags and like others have said cmon the Ton* *for 90mins only

Watched Graham getting interviewed after game on the iplayer. Says exactly what he thinks.

Steady. Just a couple of hours.

I even said that Terry (who was not on the pitch at the time) would score the winner in the dying seconds, and the referee would blow instantly for full-time, and I followed it up with "you heard it from me first". The first and no doubt the last time I have ever made a correct prediction. Great finish by Terry. Did really well to loop the ball up and over the goalkeeper.

I played on that 9-hole course many times, especially during school holidays. My golf never really improved!

Agree and Mitchell was excellent tonight- has the experience needed too if we make it to the playoffs

Well, another game vs. Falkirk that will linger in the memory. First, apart from the obvious idiot, full marks to every player who gave their all when they were on the pitch, and to the managers for adjusting the formation for damage limitation, and making good -- nay, excellent substitutions. Really no criticisms of any of the players who helped us toward that totally unexpected win, but special mention to Mitchell (some important saves, dealt competently with crosses), Megwa (wish he'd been on such good form earlier in the season), Ashcroft, O'Reilly, McBeth; and to Graham and Chalmers for the sheer grit and amount of ground covered. I had a feeling that Fitzy was looking like he meant business, and I wasn't happy when he got replaced by Turner for tactical reasons, but it was part of the plan that worked. Absolutely delighted for Ablade. Definitely worth getting up at 3:15 am for.

That was good fun. Game had everything. Atmosphere was superb. Last minute goal!! Pitch invasion not cool.

Wasn't offside- just bbc pundits (unneccesarily) trying to add to the drama

Got it spot on tactically tonight. Grahams seems to be able to motivate guys like fitzy, Ablade and Chalmers. Whoever was making the tactical calls tonight- Wilson or Graham? got it totally right, not afraid to make formation changes, subs at the right time- impressive

2-1 was enough.

Ah what a result to see live! Didn’t think Terry was offside, and the precision of his header into the bottom right corner was perfect. If you had to describe to someone what it’s like to be a Thistle fan using only 90 minutes of play, I can’t think of anything better than this. You’re high, then you’re low, then you’re despondent, then you’re running onto the pitch (not me! I need my passport to get home!) Amazing night. So happy to be part of this community, through good and bad.

No soap; stale bread and puddle water for nourishment.

He was excellent throughout. I hate time-wasting by keepers, but he did what he had to do.

Totally agree, they managed the situation very well and got the breaks, but Airdrie, Hamilton and even Dunfermline results really let them down 🙁

It won’t. And it shouldn’t. Tonight does not excuse only 1 point from the games against the bottom 3.

Quite amazing to play for a ninety min spell without scoring yet still manage to get two goals.

Our goal came about by pressing their defence when they had a bye kick. They put a lot off balls into our box which we dealt with well. Great free kick by Turner that led to our winner, i did expect what we usually see when we get last minute important dead ball situations and that is the ball being delivered well wide or high over the bar. I have to say say that @partickthedog said to me just into the second half that he thought we would soak up Falkirk pressure and then score on the break thru Terry Ablade . The same as @Fawlty Towers i will also be looking for Morton to win tomorrow and it does feel wrong and dirty to say that. Special mention for Ashcroft had his usual solid game and a great sliding tackle that stopped a really dangerous cross/shot.

The management of tonight's game in difficult circumstances could swing it in favour of the current duo. Let's see what happens next week.

Falkirk have never beaten us recently when we had 11 men in the park so when Bannigan got sent off I assumed the worst. It was never a second yellow but theirs wasn’t a red either and guess what 10 v 10 we win. We weren’t great but we were resilient, typical unpredictable Thistle, over Sixty years supporting them nothing surprises me anymore😊

What a game, absolute rollercoaster. Go 1-0 up then sit back and watch Falkirk pummel us and when Bannigan gets himself sent off again we did well to get to halftime at 1-1. Genuinely thought we would end up losing 5-1 at that stage. However the move to a back 4 and sitting deep denied Falkirk the space to make their passing game have any effect. Only real concern was Reid was getting roasted by the number 23 for Falkirk and Arfield was floating about in dangerous positions so when McGlynn subbed both I genuinely thought Falkirk had ran out of ideas and where happy with a point. Reid getting injured and Agyeman getting sent off changed the game. O'Reilly going to left back completely stopped any threat down that side and with Agyeman off the park Falkirk had nothing on the other wing. By my word that goal by Ablade was genuinely amazing. Pitch invasion was totally wrong but it did feel like a totally spontaneous out pouring of emotion. The sort of goal/result thats worth your season ticket on its own. Long long time since I have had this sort of high after a game and I the adrenalin is still pumping Lots of good performances tonight but Dan O'Reilly was absolutely superb. Not only did he defend like a demon when Graham went off he won ever goal kick and caused chaos in their defence.

So is mine. In Mallorca this week so even better 😁
