We had a bad period between mid- November and mid -January. That spell, along with the postponements, are the only things that kept this league so tight until recently.
The Coming of Archie (perhaps I ought to rephrase that!) coupled with the astonishing physical and mental strength of the players who have been playing catch up at the rate of 2 games a week for a long time now have finally seen off Morton's false hopes. It seemed to me that they bottled it on that fantastic Wednesday night. I expected them to have a real go that night. Strangely, they didn't. I couldn't understand why their fans turned up in impressive numbers then sat so meekly. Players and fans, perhaps, intimidated by the collective might of Partick Thistle. Champion!
