Genuinely sorry that you are unable to attend games. When the team plays well we get to witness truly great urban performance art. You really don't have to try to convince me of your intentions. It's Thistle, not Partick.

No doubt a bout it.

Standings after 2 rounds* jagaloon II storms into the lead after a good round. Middle column shows Sunnylaw points for the first time. *3 postponed games from Round 1 still to be played.

Standings after 4 rounds* As you were for the top 5 *3 postponed games from Round 3 still to be played.

If we want to get players to sign contracts at the end of the season or attract players to the club, finishing sixth may show that we have ambition. Personally though, I would go for 7th. Then get a good start next season and push for a strong top six finish. Ah, dreams... But first goal is to make sure we stay up.

Through an extraordinary, one-off donation by forum member Metz (see Last Jag Standing post no63), we now have a FIFTEENTH top! The total raised is now £2100. Big thank you to Metz for the very generous donation. Three tops now await a player. We will return to that issue in January. Three Prediction Leagues completed, two running and eight to come. Last Jag Standing running and Second Last Jag Standing currently looking for victims. The rest of the season is, just about, action packed. However, as a big thank you to all who have contributed to the fund raising effort, I intend to run a free to enter Prediction League for all 67 (so far) contributors. A mammoth undertaking but worth the effort to reward your effort. Winner gets the fifteenth. Competition will run over the last ten round of fixtures. As I mentioned, we are currently hoping to raise more funds through Second Last Jag Standing. We have seven pledges so far but need to get up to twenty five. When we achieve this we will have a sixteenth top. Then we can have a giant competition, Last Jag Standing Still, for the sixteenth top. Again free entry to all. If you are not one of the 67 then entering Second Last Jag Standing will get you chances to win three tops. I know it's a difficult time of year but it's only £3 and all proceeds to the birthday boy. If you are on that exclusive list of 67, you've been brilliant. One last push (as the father of a constipated 6yo, that phrase rolls off my tongue frequently at the moment). Please pop over to Last Jag Standing and sign up. Thank you all, always.

Hitting the post is not, for obvious reasons, a shot on target.

Many of us have had doubts on the darkest days. It's human nature. He's a young manager. He was thrown into the deep end when McNamara left and he gave us the SFL Championship, in style. Since then, under his leadership, we have continued to grow and to achieve. He has shown great strength and ability to turn it around from the very poor form early this season. There was even talk, back then, that he had lost the dressing room. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are seeing now that he gets the best from the players. Of course there will be dark days but I, for one, will not doubt his ability to bring us through it. Happy Birthday Boss.

Now you can see how easy this is. 1. Post 'In'. 2. Send three quid when prompted. 3. Post 'Win' every week. Let's be 'aving you* *thanks Delia

Fantastic result. Thank you Dools, the team, Archie, Shaggy et al. Happy Jags fans f***ing everywhere* *except on the bridge of the Titanic and the White House. Where are you Captain Smith & Tricky? Logging in as Guests.

And then there were six Next match Thistle v Ross County. Deadline 2.59pm, Saturday 19 December.

Two predictions to come. Could be over this afternoon if one of those is 'Lose'. Get signed up for seconds, just in case.

Special Kris Doolan Birthday Offer Buy one, get one. Sign up for Second Last Jag Standing today. Press Caps Lock before you type and see your name in glorious UPPER CASE.

If we won the league we would hardly get a word of praise. Glasgow's great unmentionables.

From kick off. Two early goals and a Doolan birthday goalfest. Or 1 - 0. I really don't mind. Thistle>Arabs, Archie>Mixu.

Great, thanks Ladybug, the first of many this weekend, I wager. Three points tomorrow and a fistful of three quid pledges is all I ask, oh and a wee piece of coal for the fire.

Predictions for Round 4. All aboard the Second LJS Express. Reserve your window seat at Last Jag Standing thread.

Predictions for Round 2 Don't forget, for more competitive fun, Second Last Jag Standing is taking reservations. Head over to the LJS thread and sign up. Thanks.

That was a good day. Remember the Falkirk player lying in the penalty area and Willie Young indicating to the Jags fans that he was sleeping. Jan '02. 1 - 4. Think the 5 - 1 was at home the same season.

24 hours guys. Deadline for predictions 9pm tomorrow.

Lots of empty cells on the spreadsheet. Deadline for predictions 9pm tomorrow.

Good to see clubs getting together to market individual games like this. The mixed seating is a progressive idea. St Mirren on a Friday night is a good local fixture so hopefully a big crowd.

5 hungry folk so far The Sunnylaw Jag jagaloon Dick Dastardly east lothian jag jagfox Need another 20 to guarantee a second helping of this delicious feast. Sign up now, pay three quid later. Bon appetit

Welcome to the Mustapha Dumbuya (home) score prediction league. A special welcome to the 11 new players for this one. The Rules The Players The Fixtures A Note This competition takes place over a busy holiday period. There is not much time between games. After the first round of matches I will invite predictions for all games from 26 December until 3 January. Each round will still have its own deadline and subsequently only that round's predictions will be published. I will continue to send out individual rounds if required but there may be a very short time to get predictions in. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I have already received predictions from one player for the whole competition as they will be out of contact for this period. A plea Obviously, taking part is optional. If you wish not to particitate, please send me a message letting me know. No point in wasting your time and mine. First fixtures will follow by PM. Please feel free to contact me with any comments or queries.

Just picked my way through the fixtures to update my fixture list for sponsorship comps. Aberdeen have 5 consecutive televised games culminating with their trip to Firhill. Some games have been postponed on 30 January to accommodate League Cup semi finals. Inverness v Hearts has been switched to that Saturday from Weds. 2 March. A rare case of an evening match being switched to a weekend. Should boost the ICT coffers. Still no rearranged dates for the postponed games from 5 Dec.
