Auld Jag

Pitch might be playable, but fans travelling to game should also be considered. Also playing in current weather you cannot give your best. Safe journey to everybody going to the game.

On the final chase tonight the chaser was asked 'what Glasgow team play at Firhill stadium', the chaser's answer 'Kilmarnock'. Really, surely the chaser should know Kilmarnock is not in Glasgow. When told it was Partick Thistle, the chaser then said 'i knew it wasn't one of the big two'. The chaser was Mark Labbett aka The Beast.

Never noticed, but i was in the John Lambie Stand. Adeloye did well when he came on and was unlucky not to score.

Can't remember any penalty claim in the second half.

Nice gesture from Her Game Too giving medals to the kids who beat Kingsley with their penalty.

Last week the team and manager got deserved criticism after what was a very poor performance. So after today's performance the team and manager deserve praise. Let's hope we see many more performances like today.

What a difference a week makes. We did more in the first 10 minutes today than we did for the whole game last week. We started really well and scored a good goal after that dunfermline came more into the game and pressurised us. They had 2 penalty shouts and a few missed chances, but near the end of the first half Lawless tried to lob their keeper that didn't come of then McInroy had one that just went by the post. We started the second half well and scored just a few minutes into it and a third with about half an hour to go. No failures this week which is the complete opposite from last week. A good 3 points and a clean sheet.

Nathan McGinley a defender joins on loan from Motherwell until January.

If the weather forecast is accurate it will be pouring for most of the game.

Yes.

Out of the starting line up last week only 2 were new signings this season. If any of the other new signings are deemed not good enough to improve on last weeks performance we need to question why they have been signed.

Any player dropped from last weeks team can have no complaints as none of them did anything. Don't know what the starting team will be but would expect to see some changes and a much better performance and attitude from whoever does get a game.

Agree.

Not disagreeing with you, but one thing that has annoyed me for years is the 'if wasn't for the keeper we would have won/lost' argument. The keepers job is to stop the ball going into the net, no matter how spectacular a save they have to make to do it. Rant over. As for Ayr, imo they flattered to deceive, Chalmers in particular.

University of Stirling v Albion Rovers was a good game. 2 Very good goals, the University equaliser and Rover's second scored by Joe Bevin who looked a good player and is only 18. Albion Rovers now managed by a certain Sandy Clark.

In my pre match comment on this thread i said the only change i would make from the Ayr game would be to bring Milne back. After yesterday i could not make a case for keeping any of yesterday's starting XI in next weeks team. The problem is that apart from Mitchell anyone else who comes in wont have had much time on the park.

A fully deserved win for Arbroath. Thistle were to slow, passing terrible and any crosses were also terrible. Every ball seemed to land at an Arbroath player. Performance today as bad as the Cove and Hamilton games last season.

Dowds starts for Ayr tonight. Could do us a favour by helping Ayr beat Queens Park.

Agree. McMillan will be a loss as his partnership with Lawless is a very good attacking option. Let's hope we get a good home support.

After a poor start Arbroath have won their last 3 league games, so won't be an easy game, but one we should be looking to take all 3 points from. Apart from bringing Milne back in i would keep the starting line up the same as last week.

I feel that Brian Graham deserves a special mention. Might not have been his best game, but he did get that early goal that gave us something to hold onto and meant Ayr had to come at us which they did but thankfully we held on in the first half and blew them away in the second half. In his post match interview BBG said that he had lost his mother in law last Sunday and it was a difficult time for the Graham family and he dedicated his goal to his mother in law, pure class from him.

No. It is in a bag. Was given to young Robert from a friend for part of his 30th birthday present and has never been taken out of the bag.
