1-0 win for Thistle after 10 minutes of added time! Suddenly the table looks a whole lot brighter.

It's amazing what the BBC can do with selective editing. Expect action from the 1st and 90th minutes to be spliced together to enhance the excitement.

That was quick! He might inherit Kevin's indestructible song.

Women's 3rd round: HAAH AAAA HAHA AAHA Thanks BB. If the row of 4 As above proves to be correct, it will throw the competition wide open.

That may not be totally a bad thing (if he comes back to us mid-season). We are not short of central midfielders, especially when Ben Stanway, Robbie Crawford and Scott Martin are all fully restored. However, we are somewhat light on fullback cover.

Looks like a Thistle takeover of Radio Scotland this weekend as Kris Doolan was guesting on Stuart and Tam's Sunday version of Off the Ball.

Stanway out, so presumably Turner comes in from the start. We still have plenty of wide and forward options off the bench with Lawless, McCardle & Samuel. We might be a little stretched if one of our defenders or midfielders is injured or has to come off for any reason. Might be a matter of bringing on Logan, and then McPherson and McBeth can flex depending on which position requires to be covered.

Yes, and even Kyle has gone away and come back.

partique sous chien?

I presume that whoever finishes last will be the lanterne rouge et jaune?

I remember that there used to be a "curse of the programme" whereby the person pictured on the front page was injured or dropped or, if playing, put in a disastrous performance. It seems that curse has been lifted as Paddy Reading was on the front of the programme yesterday.

It is certainly an interesting debate. Chalmers on the right wing is brilliant, but on the left wing he is even more brilliant. There is a good argument for saying that Chalmers on the left and Lawless on the right is our most potent combination. However, I agree with all you say about pace and timing, and how Samuel and Lawless are ideal substitutes for Watt and Fitzpatrick. I do not think that it would work so well the other way round.

Yes. Queen's were still in it for most of the second half. However, they seemed visibly to tire as we entered the last 15 minutes.

I think that even that 11 may depend on 4 from Scott Robinson, who might be described more as an auxiliary striker rather than one of the midfield 3. Fantastic goal from Ben Stanway who has perfected the art of the curling shot from the edge of the box. As soon as the ball fell in the right place for him today, there was only going to be one outcome.

Does the balaclava come into the matchday squad for the first time this season?
