Auld Jag

Good that Mark Wilson got manager of the month for March, his fourth award this season and also avoided the manager of the month curse.

Agree, John McGinn gets lauded for this every week.

Brian who ?

I spoke to some Dunfermline fans on the way down the road and they said they had made 6 changes and their back 4 had never played together before, even taking that into consideration we won that game with ease. I only remember Dunfermline having 2 reasonable chances in the whole game, the first half when the ball went right across our area and only needed a touch and in the second half McBeth who had a solid game passed back and a Dunfermline player was in the area, fortunately Clarke managed to get to the ball first and clear. I thought everybody who started had a good game. When we signed Samuel i really didn't expect the player he has been for us this season. I knew he had a reputation as a player who bought fouls, but didn't score much, this season he has been a revelation for us, he works hard and is scoring goals, his first today was a great goal imo and his second was great play by Fitzy but Samuel showed his instinct to be in the right place at the right time, let's hope he can keep it going this season and no matter what league we are in keep it going next season. That wind today was a good practise for what we will face in a couple of weeks up at Arbroath.

Correct. Correct.

Easy one. Two ex jags in the crowd and today is significant for one of them.

This is the ugly side of ultras. Why were they allowed in with spray cans to scrawl their vile abuse ?

I hope master Stanway has a big trophy cabinet at home. Agree with @lady-isobel-barnett he is a great young player and a very nice person, all the best to him in the future, except if he is playing against us.

I know mathematically we can still win the league, but unless something drastic happens imo we now finish second. I always thought it was a big ask for us to win the league when you consider the difference in finances between ourselves and St.Johnstone. I remember hearing somebody from St.Johnstone saying they would be willing to lose £1m this season trying to get promoted, something we could never consider. If it was not for Thistle St.Johnstone would comfortably be well ahead of every other team or league champions by now. I think we have played more playoff games than any other team, let's hope it pays off for us this season.

Could you have scenario where we are 4 points ahead going into the last game. ?

Won't be easy games for St. Johnstone, but all we can do is take as many points as we can from our last 5 league games of the season and see where that leaves us.

William Wallace was our goalie, what a braveheart he was.

Watched the third and final episode. More positive view of the ultras talking about how they help charities, food banks etc. Also saying the tartan army was probably the first 'ultras' . Thistle ultras got a fair amount of time again. Worth a watch if you haven't watched it yet.

Nothing to do with football, but a bit of an anomaly for our away games in April. We play Ayr, Airdrie and Arbroath all teams like the month we play them in begin with A.

Mind games from agent Martin.

He showed his worth to the team yet again tonight. His position to be in the right place for Crawford's cross showed great instinct. Great way for him to celebrate extending his contract.

After losing such an early goal i feared the players might start to feel the strain of playing 2 games in such a short space of time. Instead they played some great football and scored 3 very good goals, apart from their goal i don't remember them threatening our goal. The second half we played out quite comfortably. Another great effort from the players and management team.

A great 3 points. After not winning away from home since September, we have now won 2 on the road in a row, broken the Starks park hoodo, Ben McPherson scores his first goal for Thistle and Bud keeps a clean sheet. Only downside was getting more yellow cards. Quick turnaround to Friday now. Well done to players and management team.

Hopefully we are dancing in the streets of Raith tonight.

We play Dunfermline the weekend before they play the semi final against Falkirk, that could have an influence on the team they field against us.

Not tonight. If he said it on the night of the game i didn't see it, as i was at the game.

We have now all but mathematically guaranteed a top 4 place, which most of us would have settled for at the start of the season. We have been second for so long now it would be disappointing if we did drop a place or two, but we are now down to the bones squad wise and most of us has supported Thistle long enough to know we never do things the easy way.

I think it is next game in the same competition the red card was received in.

Watching sportscene tonight, Steven Naismith talking about a penalty claim for Falkirk against St. Mirren ' you can't give a penalty for that, it's hit the players hip and then his hand, if it hits a part of your body and then hand, it's not a penalty'. Ex St. Mirren player and also supporter Steven Thompson agrees with him. The irony of it.

The ultras created a great atmosphere last night, St.Johnstone fans also played their part. Great to see Firhill with a big crowd and it's not any of the old firm.
