Might be Holt closest to Camera with 4 on his back and Darren Brownlie on the right 😀
Agreed regarding Holt and Brownlie, but who is hiding behind Hyde?

A lot of the analysis of the sporting director/head coach appointments seems to be along the lines of who do we as fans blame for X or Y, as though the ability of fans to allocate blame is the most important aspect.
Could we not take a more positive view of this potential future working relationship?

On BBC Sportsound a few minutes ago, McCall confirmed that he had been interviewed for the PTFC Sporting Director post (but he was aware that others were also being interviewed).

Programmes will be on sale for £3 each at today's game from our excellent sellers.
How do you tell the excellent sellers from the not so excellent ones?

As an ally (and with 5 female descendants all following Thistle-admittedly one is only a week old and in the USA, and has not had an opportunity to object yet), I would want to give a big shout out to HerGameToo, who will be match ball sponsors, matchday mascot providers and very much in evidence in other ways at the game tomorrow https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/her-game-too-dedicated-fixture-partick-thistle-v-ayr-united/.
Football is indeed a game for all!

Dunfermline not doing us any favours tonight by losing 2-0 away to Raith. Only watched last 40 minutes, but from what I could see Dunfermline managed the remarkable feat of almost being as poor as we were at Starks Park.
Slow backwards passing and no urgency or ingenuity whatsoever. Raith not great, but had it easy.
3 points tomorrow would be useful for us with Raith our next visitors in a week's time.

Didn't think of that PTD; I do get seriously befuddled on occasion. You should do what my wife does - ignore me!
No problem. I always appreciate your contributions and your wonderfully well recalled memories of past days and personalities. Following Partick Thistle is a regularly befuddling experience for all of us more than occasionally!

If you're Barcelona then you can afford about half a dozen SDs all reported down the line. But if we choose the right fella' for the manager's office then the money would be better spent by someone who can influence us on the pitch. We have made a few mistakes over the years - notably allowing Ian McCall to slip away after Archie left. McCall was youngish with fresh ideas and an impressive contacts file. Yet we allowed him to reject us because he didn't want to be the one to replace Archie. We have to identify the BEST young managerial prospect available and jettison the notion of an SD. Sorry to be so long winded - it's the opioids!!!!!
He was only one year older when he did become manager!

When at the game last night, I thought that Yak's goal was a simple tap in, due to the quality of Chalmers' cross. Looking at the highlights, while the cross was still perfect. Yak had a bit left to do to tuck it past the keeper, and it was a very tidy finish.

Won't be Aero, he wasn't with is that season. Think it's Super Joe Cardle.
I agree that it is Joe, but he does have an amazingly Aero-like facial expression and haircut.

Referee was dreadful tonight. I never mind too much if a referee makes a wrong decision if he has not had the best view of whatever happened. However, some of the decisions tonight were perverse. I presume he thought that we were all there to watch him.
Amazed that no QP player was booked. Graham was cynically hacked down in the second half. Ref rightly played advantage as we continued to attack, but then should have gone back to book the QP player.

Chalmers is brilliant. Scored a great goal and laid the the other one on a plate for Jakubiak (who is fast becoming a cult hero!).
QP were incredibly passive. They never cut loose as most teams would, desperately seeking an equaliser. If I had been a QP fan, I would surely have been demanding more from my team.
Bud was very sound in all that he did, but his only save of note was from a shot on the angle which you would expect him to make. The only worrying moment was when the ball bounced into our 6 yard box and the QP forward just failed to get a touch.
Ashcroft, O'Reilly and McBeth all dominant and let little past them. I thought Turner did well when he came on, so suspect he will start next time. Rae was good and chased hard all night. Megwa has rather timid in the first half but got forward well in the second half.
-
Fantastic goal by Chalmers. Rivalling Stanway for goal of the season.
Next half hour no urgency from QP and we followed their lead. Then we had a 5 minute flurry. Banzo unlucky when long range shot hit the post and Ferrie made a few saves. After that game settled back down till halftime. Bud no shots to save.
At some point QP must push forward which hopefully will give us chances on the counter.

OK BB, I am gunning for a place in the first XI.

Not that sure myself but it was thought by some the team ran out of steam not long after the hour mark last Saturday. No doubt we had upped our game before that but I find it hard to believe we've all of a sudden got super fit.
I am not surprised that the team ran out of steam on the hour mark last Saturday after the hard shift they put in against Livingston the night before.

Cooper funnily enough has just been loaned out by Airdrie to a team in the Lithuanian second tier which presumably have a link in with this Consillium agency.
I sense the hand of Vlad.

Slightly off on a tangent but refs themselves could help speed play up. For example an attacking free kick can take well over 60 seconds between infringement and kick taken. I'm not meaning due to players wrestling in the penalty area etc. Simply the amount of time it takes for the ref himself to get all his ducks in a row.
Regarding your last point, it might be more helpful not to appoint referees who are also working as poultry farmers.

Not complaining, but what has happened to Raith ?
Good set of results for us today, the only slight quibble being that I would have preferred Queens Park not to gain so much goal difference.
Queens Park, Raith and Morton are all going to have to look behind as well as in front, as Hamilton and Dunfermline are creeping up.

Admin. Just want to add my thanks for all the time and hard work you have put into the forum over the years, and please be assured that this has been hugely appreciated. Wishing you and your partner everything good at this time and for the future, and hope that you will be provided with all the help and support you need.
As one of the more lighthearted posters, i have really enjoyed reading and responding to all manner of interesting chat about players and games past and present, and sometimes future as well. I would also pay tribute to others such as Thistle Archive who have brought so much informative and entertaining material to us. Looking back I will soon forget the relentless and repetitive hammering of negative agendas, and memories of the forum will all be positive. It has always been great to have quirky perspectives, and the occasional injection of humour of varying quality. Lovely to meet some of you in person as well and to form some lasting friendships.
Sadly I do not have the available time or necessary technical expertise to be a forum administrator/moderator, but if anyone else is feeling the hand of history upon them, and that this is the moment to step forward and either preserve the current forum or launch a new one (I am not an expert on the respective merits of these options), you will have my encouragement and my gratitude.

Logan Chalmers wrapped up the player of the month award. Good touch from Brian Graham in the JagZone interview, deflecting all the praise from himself to Chalmers.
Really enjoyed the game last night. The team put everything into it and won a much higher percentage than usual of 50-50 balls. Only question mark would be as regards the lack and lateness of substitutions. JagZone highlights well illustrate the balance of play with Livingston becoming dominant in the final 25 minutes as Thistle tired.
Referee very lenient with Livingston's constant fouling in first half. A few deserved bookings then may have resulted in sendings off in the second half.

Crawford: I had to check the team sheet to see which player in the starting line-up I'd forgotten. Yep.
You couldn't have failed to notice Robbie Crawford's new haircut! Looked a different player.
Not normally a fan of Crawford, but he was everywhere tonight, as well as putting in a strong shift in the left forward slot which helped Josh Rae have a really good game as well.

Are you sure that this is not a Norge Thistle pin? It certainly looks like him.
What 2 absolutely fantastic goals!
I was there in Inverness, but I had not realised what a long distance from goal the free kick was. What I do remember was the constantly driving rain which did not let up all the way up the A9, right through the game and all the way back for a 1am return.
Happy days!

Everything said about Mark indicates the high regard in which he was held, and the huge contribution he made to PTFC in general and the DSA in particular. Will be applauding loudly tomorrow night. Condolences to all family and friends.
