Dumbarton and Cowdenbeath revivals must be pulling Hamilton, Raith and even Falkirk into the relegation zone.

Peter Lindau's third of his hat-trick to clinch promotion against Stirling. Receiving ball with back to goal. Amazing close control and twisting this way and that to create space where before there was none, before planting the ball past the keeper. Scott Chaplain volley at Broadwood. Danny Lennon against Stirling on the second coldest day in history (after the night at Alloa). Danny Lennon against Inverness at the end of a lovely geometric move of angled passes (Swansea style).

Elephant! For some reason seems bigger than a whale, even though it isn't. PS Just thought of Big Jim Slavin.

Singing Section Row M. Sounds good. Must remenber to leave more time to get there than usual as car parking will no doubt fill up much earlier.

What happened to the Spanish fans? Did their plane turn round in mid-air?

Momentum shift next week.

Any chance of Gerry Britton being at the game? Would be great if some of his subjects could meet the King of Spain.

Next seven would be Jamie Redman Nikita Yellowvic Rob Green Scott Brown Matt Bluemfield Stephen Pinkowski Ian Black

The combination of red and yellow would bring us 3 points.

Pot calling the kettle black.

in terms of timing I think that the best fit is Archie's Shaggy's Red N Yellow Army This could work very well if one leader or group belts out ARCHIE'S and another leader or group (possibly in a slightly different location) belts out SHAGGY'S just as the ARCHIE'S is dying away. Then all join together for Red N Yellow etc. ARCHIE'S!!! SHAGGY'S!!! RED N YELLOW ARMY... A contest could develop between the ARCHIE and SHAGGY shouters which would keep the chant loud and long.

No need to park. Just keep driving round the stock car racing circuit.

Brilliant goal away against Morton also worthy of mention ..........and no one could point like Rowser!

Looks like a case of Shag instead of Shug.

Twice ran past the forwards to good effect in scoring against Alloa and winning equalising penalty against Gretna. Also scored a late winner in midweek away match at Raith Rovers with shot that mysteriously changed direction in mid-flight and totally flummoxed the goalkeeper.Aforementioned winner against Deveronvale was a cracker. Isolated highlights in an otherwise mundane Thistle career!

Would John Collins be interested in a return to full-time management or at least being at the apex of a coaching team? Not saying good or bad, but surely the way Thistle prepare and play is very much an embodiment of his football philosophy?

Being surrounded by Erskine haters in the JHS who constantly berated him when he and the rest of the team were playing so well in the early part of the season was one of my main reasons for trying the North Stand. That move turned out really well for me, but looking back I still find it impossible to understand the aggressive negativity with which some "supporters" come to the game.

Ross Forbes with pace would be Andres Iniesta

Many thanks. I stand corrected. The height of the stand, the placing of the stanchions and the "box arrangement" round the corporate seating are all similar to my mental impression of the Main Stand at Firhill. I will go today and look across and realise how wrong I was!!!

PS Albert "ghosted" in first!

Do not usually reply to my own posts, but just got commentary and this relates to a 15 times postponed match between "Inverness Thistle" and Falkirk. I am beginning to doubt my own sanity. That is the old Firhill, is it not??

1 minute 20 seconds into what previously appeared to be an English football dominated compilation of past occasions when football and snow collide, suddenly the old Main Stand at Firhill looms into view and three gentlemen amble out on to the snowy surface. Anyone able to identify them? My memory does not go back that far. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21082815 Hope this link works, but if not it is easily found on the bbc.co.uk/football website. Apologies if the commentary mentions the names. The computer I am at does not have speakers, so I was watching but not able to listen.

George Mackie, what a player, full back, solid build with blonde hair circa 1976/1977

I thought Sinclair played well for the first hour before succumbing to the general malaise that was spreading throughout the team. The one player I would exempt from criticism was Bannigan. He maintained a high standard for the whole 90 minutes and even at the end he was working hard doing a lot of defensive covering as well as bringing the ball forward. Craig and Doolan together did not work and I feel that we should revert to our previous successful format with one or other of them being supported by both Lawless and Erskine. Whichever of Craig or Doolan is dropped may feel hard done by, but that should motivate them to come off the bench with the right attitude to score or otherwise change the game.

We have played nine away games this season and managed to win two. We have ten away matches remaining this season. Can we have 19 home games as well as 19 away games?
