Stating the bleedin obvious I imagine the run of Dundee U, Raith and Morton all at home between 2 and 16 March as well as Queens at Hampden in the middle of that run will potentially have a massive bearing on our final place as well as being significant for our opponents.
Four “6 pointers” in a row - what could possibly go wrong!! 🤔🤔 -

I suspect Berwick had an impact on his subsequent managerial career

The surprise is that anyone is surprised at such a decision.

I wish I could think like this.
My blood pressure has been through the roof since they scored their first.

Given our, frankly, appalling Scottish Cup record over the past 40 odd years the "magic" (such as it ever was) has totally evaporated - from Dumbarton at home, Cowdenbeath at home, Meadowbank (LIVI !!!) at their place, the results and performances have been dire. Also the Cup has lost a bit of sparkle - I'm old enough to remember back to back games against Dunfermline in the late 60s - both draws, both at Firhill. The League attendance was c6,000, the Cup attendance a week later was almost triple that - such was the allure of the Cup back then - nowadays Cup attendances are, by comparison, very poor - not helped by season tickets not being valid as well!
The main interest for me nowadays as regard the Cup is to gaze in amazement at the manufacturing of the draws for each round.

Pity but it's only the cup which is a nice to be in but hardly the bread and butter.................

The problem might be that a team defending desperately at the end of a game starts conceding numerous fouls, using chronic time wasting tactics, and potentially showing dissent at every decision.
What then? - does the ref end up sending 3 or 4 or 5 players to the "sin-bin" effectively reducing the game to a farce just to ensure Rangers equalise or get a late winner?

Could field all three; if memory serves I think Denis once scored a hat-trick playing at centre forward. But I've just completed five weeks of radiotherapy and my brain may be scrambled...
Against Dundee U (a fortnight after the 4-1). Bone injured, Denis at centre forward (I assume Glavin was also injured as he would have been the natural replacement and Charlie Smith was replacing him but can’t remember (Thistle Archive will know!)
Should have added that I hope you are feeling better soon.

I like all three but given a choice my preference would be would prefer Houston (1st choice) or McQuade (2nd).
I thought Houston was the more consistant and without checking his goal tally had more goal threat!
I didnt think Lawrie was as good as Houston or McQuade.
As far as Messi and Ronaldo are concerned I just don't see either being able to do the business in a Jags Jersey. I think they would both be overwhelmed by the experience and responsibility.
It’s all about opinion but Denis was magical, Annie was direct and a phenomenal worker (Lawless of the early 70s), and Houston was perhaps more adaptable but let down a bit by his temperament. Also Bobby once tried to give me his whippets ( not a euphemism!) whilst he was a bit drunk on a train coming back from Aberdeen in 1974? (1-1 Prudham) so he will always qualify in any top two wingers competition. In addition Lawrie and McQuade scored at Hampden whereas Houston’s goal was incorrectly disallowed!!!

Denis or Annie would do for me.

The SFA’s preferred draw -
Celtic v Brora/Cove
Rangers v Bonnyrigg
Hibs v Morton
Aberdeen v Ayr
St Mirren v Airdrie
Hearts v us
Motherwell v Livi
Kilmarnock v ICT
😂
-
Livi away - plastic pitch no money and probable elimination would be the nightmare imo
-
Good Lord!! Derek Adams talking sense and almost magnanimous in defeat!
-
Will it be on?
-
To perhaps state the obvious: an opportunity to make a few changes given the cup’s a bit of a “free hit”?
-
Perhaps an undeserved point??? Loads of bookings all round.
-
Perhaps cynically I sometimes wonder if “fan ownership” is, to a degree, a bit “smoke and mirrors”.
Does the average fan feel any more connected with the club safe in the knowledge that fellow fans are looking after the best interests of the club on behalf of all fans?

Financially and for the sake of his career I suspect we might not be his first choice.
He looks a fine player and Queens will certainly miss him should he move elsewhere -

We won 2 1 last time out. I'd rather think that...
3-1 at Gayfield
0-3 at Firhill

I guess an improvement on the 0-3 doing earlier in the season is to be hoped for.
-
Queens might be frustrated by today’s result.
Arbroath will be delighted by the way their result panned out - especially their sub keeper! -
As stated elsewhere - Cove and Hamilton last season should act as a timely warning.

I fear post-match managerial comments are not dissimilar to the frankly laughable “question times” at the various parliaments around the country. The “answers” provided are at best disingenuous and at worst insults to the intelligence of the general public.
Doolan is no better/worse than other managers in this respect. Defending the indefensible is meat and drink to the press/manager relationship - it’s just a pity that the defending on the field was less reliable. -
1-0 defeat might be a “good” result
-
If recent televised games are anything to go by it could be a turgid watch - having said that a dire 0-0 will represent a considerable improvement on the result at Firhill.
Inverness away

For anyone going by train it’s worth noting that bus replacement is in place between Glasgow and Perth with all the attendant delights that brings.
