85mins. Hearts one up. Hibs down to 10 men. Our Craig again: "This might seem a silly thing to say but Hibs are almost the underdogs now"
-
Mental game.Blood and thunder stuff stuff combined with some great skill.Hearts goal and MacDonalds save were both brilliant but the way its getting played sums up why silky skills aren't the most important asset in Scottish fitbaw
Indeed. A bout of fisticuffs again tonight and, on the radio, Craig Levein commented "That's more like it"! WTF!!
Reinforces how lucky we are to support a club with a great vision of how the game should really be played.

Think we could afford that.

Great attacking play. Terrific goal.

The fact that we are not happy with the points tally I think is a positive thing, and reflects how well we have been playing so far. I really think that we are due to give someone an absolute doing if we keep playing as well as we did against Inverness and in spells yesterday. Looking like that could be against St. Mirren in a couple of weeks time.
If we beat St. Mirren again I think it will then be time to start focussing on teams above us, rather than the ones below us.
I also think if this form keeps up it's inevitable that we will lose a lot of key players in the summer - maybe before that.
So I think we should just be happy that we are playing the best football that we've seen in years, probably decades, and enjoy it while it lasts.
Completely agree, Ian.
We have all turned up week after week, season after season, to endure the pain and occasional pleasure of being a Jags fan. Last season and this we have had to pinch ourselves as we make our way home after another terrific spectacle. Yes, it is transitory. These great players will move on, I sincerely hope with our blessing. But I believe that there is something greater to come as there is now a structure growing beneath the first team squad. A playing philosophy that pervades the club and youth academy. There will be bad times but we will move onward and upward. It is a joy to watch Thistle win, lose or draw. We have, as Blackpool Jag eloquently posted, Archie to thank but also the Weirs and, yes, J McNamara. I hope the Board have the vision to drive this on to the place that Archie, the Weirs, BJ, you & I and all Jags fans deserve. Forever and ever.

I agree with vitually everything said above. I would, though, like to add the positive of our manager into that list of who we thought would handle the step up etc.
This time last year, we only had thoughts of Archie managing us one day in the distant future. We were doing well in the league - at home! - but were struggling to grind out away wins. We were all at best split on whether he who cannot be mentioned had it in him to grind out enough league points for us to take the title; the bookies saw it no better than that.
We all know what happened next of course. But for a 35 year-old rookie to not only take us on the journey that he did, but to show such class and composure in the top tier, while at the same time keeping the fans entertained, is nothing short of utterly tremendous in my opinion.
I love his interviews, I love the way he conducts himself - being a top ambassador for Partick Thistle Football Club at all times - and I love the way he sets Thistle up to attack and win, whether at home or away, gaining respect from Thistle fans, opposing clubs and the media alike. And with even a wee slice of luck we could be quite a bit further up this big league table that we've failed to feature in for so so long.
In summary, where Archie is now and where he has taken us - even at this early juncture of the current campaign - is a tribute to the man himself. His commitment to the Thistle cause is absolute and, when we consider the relative hell of the past decade, Alan Archibald stands out as a giant in every measurable way.
In Archie we trust, absolutely.
Spot on, BJ

Oh, I forgot to add:
If Samaras is f*cked, then I'll consider that this afternoon wasn't all disappointment.
Are you really suggesting that the fact that we were beaten by the current league leaders was mitigated by one of their players being injured?
I hope that we are better than that.

We keep going on about the money the telly deal gives us, but long term its killing the support for our club and others, you can't buy a ST and know when your games will be so people end up deciding to pay at the gate then cherry pick what to attend due to finances, I dread to think what attendances will be in 15 years if we keep swapping games kick off times and dates to suit telly, and the less that go the more we need the telly money and weaker we come in negotiating, so we end up getting less and less out it
Agreed.

It's a joke because they signed a lot of English players.
Oh, it's a joke ...

The linesman told Craigen that the ICT boy hadn't taken it so he ran away.
He made a **** of it but the goal was correctly disallowed.
Any response to post no 74?

Mon Thistle. Get intae these English *******.
Don't see this sort of nonsense on here very often.
Do you have a problem with English Jags fans too?

No.

The Red Cross are in the UK opening food banks, the Red Cross!
Vote Yes.
It is shameful that this appeal for food for the poor is necessary.
Now, let's get right behind this. Pop into the shop on the way to the ground and pick up a couple of items. Let us show that we care for those in need.

Given that we now have a modern ticket entry system which is linked to one of those computer things, it ought to be simple to disable U16 season books for a single game in order to maximise ticket sales.

I think, or rather I hope, that Archie is still viewed by others as a former club captain who has inherited an already successful team. Long may this misunderstanding continue.
