Imo the league has now split into to 2 different sections. The first 7 teams are all in with a chance of getting top 4. Morton and Raith Rovers are perfect examples of what can happen in the championship, a bad run of results and you go tumbling down the league, but manage a good run of results and you climb the table . Morton always seem to go on an unbeaten run of games around about this time of the season that sees them climb away from the relegation area and pushes them towards the top 4. The bottom 3 at the moment anyway, look to be battling it out to get away from automatic relegation or the relegation playoff place.
We can't take anything for granted. Airdrie beat 3rd placed Arbroath 1-0 in their last home game. The first goal is always important in games and if we get it i hope we push for a second. Unlike Airdrie in our first game at Firhill who after they went 1 up early in the game were happy to time waste and sit back, although we weren't great we scored 2 late goals for a deserved and important 3 points. Will be another difficult game tonight imo.
I was in the Lambie stand and as you say i only realised that we had scored when i heard the cheer from the JHS and the players coming back to kick off. The only game i have been to and didn't see the goal until about 5 hours after the game when i seen the highlights.
Possibly one for @The Thistle Archive. Was Thistle scoring 11 minutes into injury time in the first half the latest we have ever scored a first half goal ? Although not as late our fifth was also scored in injury time of the second half.
Firstly i would like to wish Charlie Fox a speedy recovery. Thistle started the game well and deservedly went ahead with a great strike from Reading. After we scored Queens Park came more into the game without really troubling our defence. Stanway with what turned out to be his last touch of the ball in the game scored another brilliant goal. Second half started with us in control of the game, but Clarke was called into action and pushed a shot over for a corner and from that corner Queens Park hit the crossbar, but that was it from them. Lets'osa's goal was also his last touch in the game. Great way to bounce back after last week's defeat against Raith Rovers.
Congratulations to our Disabled Access Officer Dougie McInnes who is September's volunteer of the month.
Dougie does a great job in assisting all disabled fans who attend Firhill and also assists Thistle fans attending away games. A well deserved award.
