That was hard work just watching the match! Was dejected at half time but that early goal from Cardle was vital. Impressed with the fans from the word go. Reassuring to hear Caldwell admit 532 was not working and take responsibility. Back to Germany for me tomorrow but will be praying from afar on Tuesday (and the next two Saturdays..!) C'mon Thistle.

Folk coming from Portugal and Germany for this... Get yourselves there.

Right. Whatever opinions there are out there tomorrow is the time to really get behind the team. I was surprised how quiet it was before and at the start of the Dunfermline game. Let us show them what the game means to us and set the tone early. If anyone out there is in two minds to go to the game, get yourself there and tell others to do the same.

Now that sounds like a plan! Great result for one and all. Really was fearing after Falkirk won last night. Ayr were hopeless and the first goal was as jammy as you get. We can go with confidence to Brockville or whatever shitey name their stadium has now.

We have just got two more strikers and he wants to bring in an "experienced" striker. In Doolan do we not have that experienced striker already? The lack of service to the striker is the problem, no? I have only seen 6 games this season but it has been the same pattern since our demise. Seeing Storey producing SFA when getting into positions where he can get balls into the striker and then Cardle seemingly doing a damn sight better in one match alone, is it maybe the service rather than the strikers themselves which needs improvement?

The whole website had issues a couple a minutes ago. I'll try the link again: https://www.followfollow.com/forum/threads/aidan-fitzpatrick.62471/

Why is it a bit worrying, or am I missing something?

Was going to be at this game, but flight got cancelled and am stuck in Cologne until Monday... C'mon Jags, cheer me up.

I did say "charitable"... Thought we were getting on top which ultimately normally gets chances. Not when at that stage you take a striker off instead of a defensive player and bring on an attacking one and go for it. Maybe we can just invite the rest of the league to ground share with us. We don't do away games. Or maybe get rid of the problem...

Being charitable, "we" is not strictly true. Up until Elliot's disaster I thought we were beginning to get somewhere. Then, Doolan is punted when we needed to get further on top and Christie brainfart Elliot has another brainfart. Tactics and a shit right back are utterly shite imo.

How many goals has Elliot cost us this season. Unbelievable. Truly unbelievable. Jacqui Low sounded good at half-time. Think she might do a better job in defence tbf.

This lot are for the taking. At least we are not losing at half-time in an away match for a change. Do we believe in ourselves and go for it? Storey is doing nothing at the moment but service is poor. Get a grip in midfield and we should take them. First time seeing Banzo again albeit on tv. Love it.

Same for listings on Sky...just "This is Alba" repeated from the time the game would begin until the time the game would be over. Think someone has forgotten to upload the information somewhere.

phew!

think we might sneak this 7-6 at this rate...

You are kidding...

woo-hoo!

Great to see much more hunger in the whole team today. Every single player showed fight, energy and desire to compete when Falkirk had the ball. The opposite of the game last week. That is the one thing we expect from our team, so well done. Falkirk were poor, very poor but like to think we made them look poor due to our fight, like Ayr did to us... Falkirk did have the free kick that came off the bar and luckily came off Bell and then just wide, then an almost open goal missed and their consolation goal. At the end Elliott was looking a liability in defence. #provemewrongarchie has started. Get the team playing like like that every week and the four new decent players we are waiting for to have quality and depth and we might be back where we all want to be. Loved the reaction from the players at the end. Showed the result meant a lot to them.

Ok Sandy. We all want the best. At my most charitable, I wait to see the the signings made in the next couple of days. They have to be some truly good ones. We look so short of a team aspiring to get promotion purely in terms of personnel (tactics/hunger is another matter). As I said before, I would gladly be proved wrong.

This. Must be so easy for opposition teams. It was said long ago but nothing has changed. Prove me wrong Archie/Gerry/whoever does recruitment at Thistle, get 5 truly decent signings in where we can all go "shit, really didn't see that coming" and look like we can compete in this division. Sad thing is first half at Ayr people were getting angry at the performance second half there was apathy.

Agree with Norgethistle on much of what he says. Like many I want Archie and the team to do well but it is worrying to say the least. Thin squad is no excuse for not putting in the effort. That is what the team has looked devoid of this season. I can only hope the lack of transfer activity is down to changing targets with the prospect of the Celtic money coming in... I will hold my breath on that one. Where was Mendes at half time vs Ayr? He normally has the subs doing the drills. The few subs we had looked to be just having a kick about...

I do not understand why this is ticket only. It is likely to put people off coming. If the club are thinking they want to keep numbers down cos they cannot be arsed with a big crowd then that disturbs me. Hopefully, when they know the numbers sold to season-ticket holders only, if clear there are loads still left, they will make it cash on the day.

I was so happy when the ppv started. Being able to watch live games abroad was something I had wished for a long time. This season I had to wait 25 minutes before it started working one match, then another when it didn't work at all. Mailed the technical support and the club, but got no reply from either. Given up now...
