Will three weeks into January be enough time for Young Derek to bed in his compliments of Uncle Roy new intake?
One of our players has to be instructed to do a Jamie Hamill and "accidentally" take out Derrick Adams.

Who’s doing the draw? Will our new “ celebrity” super fan from Holyrood be able to tear himself away from Celtic to give us a decent draw?
He's loading the draw on to his iPad now.

A great result after a slow start. Gave QP far too much room. Fitzpatrick is becoming a very consistent performer and was deserving motm. Muirhead, Neilson and Williams were also impressive today. We didn’t do much after the 3rd goal, but Sneddon did well to keep the score to nil.
Sneddon was determined to keep his clean sheet. He was raging when we lost the late goal to Arbroath. He can say a wee thank you to Williams who put in a brilliant block tackle late on when a QP player seemed poised to score.

Dick Campbell leaves Arbroath after their exit to Spartans today.
Seems a slight over-reaction to my scoring more underdog points in BB’s competition!

No mention of BBG - I'm assuming he's available for this one.
My understanding (and I am certainly not an expert) is that it is violent conduct (dangerous tackle, punch etc) red cards which lead to immediate exclusion from the next match, regardless of the competition, whereas other dismissals result in exclusion from the next match(es) in the same competition. I think Brian Graham is in the latter category, so will be OK for the Cup. I do not know whether it will be a one or two game (hopefully not more) League ban.

I agree. Underdog points are always welcome!

I bought a ticket this morning before it was mentioned on the PTFC website. See if you notice a mistake? Perhaps being corrected and maybe reason for "Service Error"?
Had to think for a minute there. Worked my way up from the bottom. Date and time seemed OK, as were the teams (though I could be a bit pedantic as to why a dot after F but not after C). When I got to the top I finally realised!

Seems rather early to open match thread for PTFC v QP so I will not do so. Instead I will resurrect this older thread to ask a question about the cup tie.
Was hoping to buy tickets but both the links in the news item on the official website https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/queens-park-ticketing-information-4/ appear to be broken, and are coming up with "Server Error". I have tried via Google searching etc to try and find another way in to PTFC Tickets or something similar, but without success. Does anyone have any ideas, failing which I will wait and hope that the link is fixed? I will try and phone the club if I get a moment tomorrow morning.

A 1-0 victory today which lifts us up to 4th place - well done to the players and management!
Fantastic stuff again. It seems that this team can win sometimes win with a bit of style, but on other occasions they can dig out the one-nils when needed.

It’s an interesting discussion that is arising here around the kickoff time and some players not being able to make it because they are part time. It’s one that doesn’t come up in the men’s game which has part time players even in our league. What is the issue particularly for the women’s team ?
Good question on which others will be more qualified to comment. 2 possible factors:
1) I think kick off time was particularly early in this case whereas as far as I am aware midweek men’s matches are all fairly standard at 7.45 or similar times.
2) Huge generalisation, but women players perhaps more likely to be school teachers, especially primary school teachers. My own daughter happens to be in that category and I know that negotiating time off is a virtual non-starter.
-
Sorry to keep asking questions, but as a matter of interest how many regular players were we down due to the awkward kick off time? I know that Rachel Donaldson is a schoolteacher which would have ruled her out. Were there any others in the same category?

Not an issue watching from the sidelines. Perhaps the lack of depth perception on the video?
Very likely!

There should be at some point but our camera angle was pitchside. Aberdeen had an elevated position and the goals are on the SWPL socials.
Meantime here's our third goal and Brian getting his celebration a bit wrong.
Tom, just watched the highlights (9 minute version). What an excellent victory!
Viewing on screen, and in particular as regards the end where all the goals were scored, I found it very hard to differentiate between the actual match goalposts and the numerous other sets of goalposts lying around nearby. Was that a problem for the players (both attacking and defending) or was that much easier on the pitch than it looked on screen?

Thought this might be of interest: Ayr United have got some major work going on at the open terracing across from their stand. Already got the frame of a roof on.
That's interesting. I was doing a parkrun in Ayr last Saturday morning, and after the (slow!) run I got talking to someone and conversation moved on to football. He mentioned that Ayr United were carrying out major stadium reconstruction work. I was (unfairly) dismissive, saying that Ayr had been talking about this for at least 20 years with never a sign of progress! However, he was insistent that he worked close to the stadium and that major works were ongoing. You have just proved that he was totally right and I was totally wrong!
As an aside, after 156 unscathed parkruns, at my 157th in Ayr I was felled by a nastily placed tree root. As I hit the deck, I could have sworn I heard the tree shouting "Diver!"

Yes, I was too busy trying to sort the exposure setting on the camera and almost completely missed the goal 😖
You do amazingly well to capture all that you do!

Thanks.
You would have been brilliantly placed to appreciate the opening goal by Kerr McInroy. In fact you might have been tempted to vault the barrier and join in with the goal celebrations.

Wonder what was the thinking behind puting the Morton fans at the tunnel end of The Colin Weir stand , I cant remember this happening before ...................
I was asking myself the same question. Could it have been to minimise direct confrontation with Thistle fans in the John Lambie Stand?? But of course it brought the Morton fans closer to the Thistle dug-out, which had other consequences.

That ref had a real howler.
I realised that we were in for a bad day early on when the referee overruled his linesman (who had a perfect view from close by) and awarded a goal kick rather than a corner. The referee from far away with his vision obscured by Stevie Lawless and a Morton defender of course knew best.
The linesman might as well have gone home at that point.

He gestured towards the Morton fans. Not sure exactly what he did but seemed to be given a straight red rather than a 2nd yellow. This was after the substitution was completed or else we'd have been down to 10 men.
He then had a further go at the Morton fans on the way to the tunnel.
I don't know why he was so upset. They did sing he's a ****** but not sure if anything else that was worse. It seems a bit petty if that's all that upset him
I am wondering if there is some past history between Brian Graham and Morton which pre-dates his time at Thistle. I have not noticed any particular issues involving Brian as we have played Morton over the past couple of seasons. However, at the latest game at Cappielow a couple of months back I was surprised at the level of animosity personally directed at Graham (but at no other individual Thistle player) for no apparent reason. That was what made we think that the roots of this must lie deeper.

Alston for McInroy???
Credit to Alston. That was some finish. He also got himself into some other scoring positions and it is really the first time we have seen properly what he is about. Came across well in JagZone interview too. If he now begins to contribute positively and with Williams putting in a shift wherever he is placed, the squad depth is perhaps looking more encouraging than it was before.

Well taken goal by Alston. Wasn't there today so good to see the goals. Thanks to @Camallain.
From the John Lambie Stand could not see how good that finish by Alston was. Great to see it now.
