Welcome to Firhill Paddy, all the best for the season ahead.
So, how many Patricks have played for Partick?
Paddy Boyle
Paddy Kelly

That says to me that one - or both- of Stevie May and Robbie Muirhead are on their way out.
May to St Johnstone is likely a stick-on.
Robbie Muirhead anyone if BBG vacates the premises??

If tonight is to be the end, then please accept my fullest appreciation for providing this site over the years..
It was a godsend to me while I was working overseas and has been a source of wonderful information and opinions since coming home. For these alone I will forever be thankful.
Most importantly, though - very best wishes to you `and your partner. The Jags may be part of all our DNA, but when it comes to a reckoning, health and family are much more important.
Good Luck, Good Health and may the best of times still be ahead for you and your partner.

Re the goals from Midfield (or rather lack of). From a central midfield point of view Stanway (2), MacKenzie & Turner contributed to a mere 4 goals. Robinson produced a more respectable 3 goals. Martin not being a like for like replacement would very unlikely have added to the total, regardless of injury.
So it looks like a total of 7 league goals from central mid. I'm far from certain none of those 7 goals didn't come from set plays!
Turner's was.a penalty v Ayr at home.

Am I the only one who thinks that Megwas has redefined underwhelming in terms of assessing a loan signing?
Yes he offers some good moments going forward, but against that, he's a certainty at least twice a game to have a brain fart that presents an opening to the opposition.
He's been nowhere near the standard required, imo.

Ashcroft is a quality signing apart from playing against Clyde 😂 but yes great signing
Chalmers is fantastic when playing at his best, disappeared in a few games as well though
Agree about O Reilly
Arfield totally disappeared v us before being hooked. Falkirk's points per game total apparently didn't much improve after his signing either. Admittedly that may not have been down to him - he certainly knew the way to score against us in the two games he faced us.
Let's stop splitting hairs about Ashcroft, Chalmers, and O'Reilly. They've unquestionably been quality signings by Kris Doolan.

It was an even bigger gamble assembling a squad of the size it was in the first place - lets face it how many actual quality signings did we make compared to the Signing of Arefield by Falkirk
We went for quantity over quality
Ashcroft, Chalmers and O'Reilly have all proven to be quality signings, no question.

Apologies for chipping in, but I think that Ben Sayers makes golf clubs.
Thanks for pointing that out PTD, now adjusted,

situations can be changed by leaving job and coming home , 700 miles away and full time job isn’t a good reason to miss gamesAway back to your cargo, and wanking over Charlie Sayers' supposed wages
You've never been further than 7 miles away from Firhill, so how would you know what's involved in getting to a game?

Absolutely superb again tonight.

Great result under pressure on a night when Raith (and Queens Park) did their best to keep us out the playoffs…
At least we bank the money for fourth if nothing else. I’m not confident for the remaining games given our injury list which may have increased after tonight, but well done in taking 6 points in the last two games. I certainly didn’t expect that.
Get that rhetoric in the bin please.
Every credit where it's due. Our players - and interim management - did more than enough to make the play-offs. They made it on their own merits. Let's not cheapen what has been an outstanding effort to ensure we didn't get overtaken in the last two games.
Let's see what the play-offs bring....................

I thought he was very unlucky. He raised his boot to instinctively play the ball, and when he realised he wasn’t going to get it, half pulled out. It was an absolutely nothing incident- I thought both reds were terrible decisions.
Whilst I agree with most of your analysis - especially the suggestion that both reds were not necessary - Banzo cannot be considered to be an innocent party. He's well experienced enough to have known better than to make a challenge of that nature when already on a yellow.
He made the ref's decision easy, notwithstanding Tait's ridiculous, duplicitous reaction.

No surprise but unfortunately we can’t appeal Banzo’s second yellow card and we had to play an hour with 10 men not just 10 minutes
Nothing alters the fact that Banzo is fully responsible for us playing over an hour with 10 men.

So very sorry to hear about the challenges you and your partner are facing. You are right, life is too short to be burdened by other people's trivial pursuits and vendettas. I sincerely wish you both all the best as you come to terms with the evolving situation.
Many Thanks for the hard work you have put in to hosting and running this invaluable resource for us Jags fans. It's been very much appreciated.

So.. there’s cry babies here saying if McCall came back I’d never return to Firhill, ******* grow up.
The list of players the guy has managed to sign just from potential is actually ridiculous. Rudden, Docherty, Holt, Tiffoney, Milne, Turner, McMillan. That’s only 7. Graham has been offered moves away and there’s definitely more.
Tell me someone who is better signing players at this level than him? Genuinely fed up with Thistle now.. we would be further ahead if he was still here and I don’t even like the guy that much. It’s just common sense that he has a knack for singing player with potential.
We are not as big a club as some of our supporters think anymore. That was our best option, Doolan who we all loved.. hasn’t signed one player with potential apart from loans. Tell me one ? Turner coming back doesn’t even count.
we’ve went backwards, so badly !!!
He's signed at least four.
Dan O'Reilly, Lee Ashcroft, Luke McBeth and Logan Chalmers.

Positives:
Stanway playing further forward. The added dig in that area worked well, It's worth persisting with.
Expectations:
Bud - decent enough in goal
Megwa - a bit less Meh and more Gwa today. That was more like it, but still a bit to go.
Ashcroft/O'Reilly - most solid part of the team. First two names on the team sheet each week, every week.
Chalmers - lively, always looking to make something happen, though seemed to tire in the second half.
Disappointments:
The final result.
Turner- is there a competion to have him play every position in the team this season?? Play him in his best position FFS!!
The shapeless formation after the umpteen substitutions. We hadn't a clue after Bannigan went off.
-
In another interesting development, Jordanhill Jag has been immersed in a vow of posting silence since Monday evening.
Could it be yet another conspiracy..........................or has he been kidnapped to become our new Sporting Director?????
-
Can anyone explain what exactly is it that makes Neil Lennon so 'divisive'??
It cannot be because he is ex-Celtic (see Caldwell, McLeod, Britton, Whyte, Rooney, Auld and - by association - Collins).
Is it because he is Northern Irish?
Not that he would get out of bed anyway for the money on offer, however this unsubstantiated allegation of divisiveness doesn't stand up to much scrutiny when undertaking due diligence on someone's suitability to be Partick Thistle's first team manager.

Not Quite - we stumbled into the Play offs on the last Day of the Season by the Skin of our Teeth and other results went in our Favour - granted the Play Offs were an great run
But three Goals up - 18 Minutes to go ? Thats a Carcrash
Always the one to find a negative from a positive.
Honestly Jim, why do you even bother with the Jags?? Your 'support' for the club is riddled with dry rot.

I think the concern should be more with the issues of Doolans position as manager than Mitchell’s as goalkeeper to be honest

Absolutely love that song. Great to sing in the car when nobody else is listening. Rivalled only by Sylvia by Focus, but it's an instrumental, not a song (apart from the yodelling).
Well, I guess that's just the way the story goes.
On that subject, Jan Akkerman, the guitarist who played on Sylvia, is in concert at Oran Mor this Friday night.

I see Robinson mentioned online that "it wasn't the way (he) wanted it to end," and the "board are making it very difficult." Don't think it was fair to leak the messages (if true), but it seemed as if Doolan wanted to extend his (Robinson's) contract further. If that is indeed true, it just goes to show you how inept Doolan is as a manger, and he should be the one moved on. Don't think anyone would have expected Robbo kept on beyond the summer, let alone been given a new contract. Again, IF true, it shows that Doolan doesn't have the stomach to actually make a pretty easy decision in the best interests of the club.
Whatever the story, it is obvious the club are an utter shambles. Radio silence from the board who resemble the Jacqui Low board more and more each day
Give this rhetoric a rest please.
Once again, you offer no basis to support any of it.

Alex Rae?
No, Just no.
That appointment just isn't acceptable.
Thistle are far better than that.
