I chose a seat in the north stand, but I couldn't remember which one so I just stood anywhere and there didn't seem to be a problem. I think on games yesterday you just have to take a seat where you can get one

Would say we edged it, but we look worryingly inept up front. We need someone quite physical who can bully defenders, much like Craig was. Besides that we were OK. Fraser looks good, Gabriel looked solid if a bit rash and Forbes drifted in and out of the game. Not bad but not great.

I finally went and renewed my season ticket this afternoon as I was in the area, and was given a voucher for Saturday while I was there, so I imagine the rest have been sent out. Considering most of the won't be going far they should surely arrive on time.

I tweeted the club and they said they would be willing to send one if you get in touch.

I've finally got round to renewing my season ticket, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how the seats are numbered. I didn't reserve one last season but with the new seating policy I need to pick one this time.

You'll get priority for anything which is all ticket. The RC final and Dumbarton away were sold to season ticket holders first and then what was left was opened for everyone else.

I was hoping we'd hold onto Doolan but all the best to him. Scored some vital goals this season and I'm sure he'll do well.

£18, £12 for concessions. Still in two minds, but I'll probably go in the knowledge that I could be waiting another 10 years before we win another title.

Keep hearing that Brian Graham is on his way to us from Raith, so hopefully he won't follow the John Baird philosophy of being prolific in the first and useless in the SPL. Besides that we're probably looking at players like Ross Forbes who have SPL experiencebut have fallen out of favour at their clubs. Stevie May would probably fall into that category as well. I'd like a stronger back-up keeper too. Don't see Scully staying (and I wouldn't want him either) and Wightman would be too raw. Wouldn't object to having Smith back after doing a respectable job earlier this season.

Likely to be Craig, Balatoni or Fox. Never been convinced about having a striker as captain, so probably Balatoni or Fox, or Murray if he gets game time.

I had one of them when we were last in the SPL, and it was massive during that one year at primary school (seriously, even folk with no interest in football were collecting them). Think I completed Kilmarnock and almost finished Thistle and Hibs.

I haven't bought FIFA in a few years (give me Football Manager any day), but seeing as this will be the first time since FIFA 2004 we've been able to play as the Jags I'll certainly be picking this up.

Some bald guy was hit at the league cup game against hamilton at the start of this season by an errant shot during the warm-up (can't remember which team hit it). The sound from that hit was just epic. I actually picked up a ball at a match for the first time a few weeks ago during the warm-up. I nearly lost my programme as I'd held that out to protect myself, but the ball landed a row in front of me and I threw it back onto the pitch. Childhood ambition achieved!

It was a very costly mistake, for sure, and while I can't say I hope he gets a proper punishment I do think he should. Yes, he was provoked and yes he'll get a greater ban because the TV cameras and SFL bigwigs were there, but you can't possibly defend what he did. If you did that in the real world you would be done for assault, and as a professional player who kids will idolise the SFA have to set an example. Hopefully spending the rest of the season in the stand will teach him a lesson and he'll calm down in the future.

That's insane! It reminds me of a youth match at my local park, where one player tripped on the goal line and landed face first in a massive muddy puddle. The blue and white stripes on his shirt became blue and brown but he commendably just stood up and played on. Star of the future there.

I seem to remember a group of kids and some Dumbarton fans having a go at each other, but there was nothing series. Glad someone was able to intervene and diffuse the situation before it got any more serious. I do have to question the logic of having the fans that close to each other. You're just inviting those kinds of incidents, which could get serious in the case of a big crowd. Perhaps a few rows of seats and some steps should be set aside for segregation.

I agree it's win or bust. If we don't win our destiny probably isn't in our hands, and you want to avoid that at all costs. Expecting a very large crowd there. Morton brought over 1300 to Firhill so I would expect us to match that at the very least, though I can imagine us taking anything from about 1500 upwards. A friend who isn't that interested in football is going to be there (supporting Morton, sadly), and I would expect people like that on both sides.

That was great to watch, especially when Rangers pressed the self destruct button in the final 10 minutes. Quite how anyone in that team is anywhere near the national squad is beyond me. Very pleased for Jackie, he's still the consumate professional and I wish him well.

Great news that the BoD have taken swift action and appointed a known entity. Have a feeling this could go either way, but all the signs are good and the squad is in place for a great end to the season. All the best to Jackie, too. I don't hold this against him, but he'll never be remembered as the man who lead Thistle to promotion.

Houston's immediate departure was only in the papers this morning, even even then they were still pointing at Evlis, so I don't imagine it's been on the cards to too long. As for the compensation, I sadly suspect it went from being "none" to being "a wee bit". As the OP said, I hope Jackie's successful at United, and I also hope we thump them next season!

If they're not undercooked and don't disintegrate in you're hand then at least it's a different problem from what we've had previously. Not better, but different!

A slightly average performance against a very average team. Paton and Bannigan stood out, Forbes deserved a goal from at least one of his free kicks. I thought Craigan had a good game, especially in the first half, Erskine pulled shift but nothing really worked out for him, or indeed anyone else. Overall, a deserved 3 points, but next week will be a slightly bigger test.

Attendance was 3200-odd. Considering how I couldn't feel my face afterwards I think that's good.

Can't complain about that. Joma's kits seem to border on being a bit plain, but I'd rather that than a cluttered mess (read: Hummel). This season's away kit will take some beating though.

I think it's in the sense that if you give the ball to Doolan or Lawless you can be sure something will happen, whereas you can't say the same about Erskine. He'll quite often misplace a pass or fire into the stand. However, something amazing happens more than often enough for him to be among our best players, and I agree his finishing and crossing are much improved this season. Like Forbes, he's absolutely awesome when he's on form and well worth the price of a season ticket.
