What, like maybe as say a Defensive midfielder? Which would allow Bannigan to play further up the park...

I believe so, although they used 3 different keepers and their manager came on for the last 5 minutes or so.

Thistle Legends team taking on Maryhill at Lochburn today at 2.30pm, £5. Bound to be the best football of the day!

Chinese/American whispers

I blame it on the boogie.

Ho ho! Caldwell & Low? They have more balls than the national lottery...

A certain Stephen McConologue scored twice on his debut as a 2nd half sub...

Kb'd. Surely they could just move it to the Aitken Suite and fit more people in

Nope

Agreed. To me Doolan did not fit in with Caldwell's tactics and when he did have chances he didn't put them away as I would have expected previouly. I'll be at his testimonial to pay tribute to a club legend. Also the manner his departure has been handled was deplorable. To me Lindsay was the biggest miss out of all of these and was probably the difference between staying in the SPL and getting relegated.

I would prefer players to aspire to playing in the number 9 shirt worn by Kris Doolan.

Seems like a good statement even if some of the messages are difficult. It would be nice to see something similar from our own board.

Swansea I think. Potentially signed a pre-contract.

To increase the OAP season ticket after relegation was a scandal. A double blow with the league cup games coming off.

I'd rather have had a few more players in the Scott McDonald mould over the last 2 seasons than some of the hopeless but nice failures who have put us in this position.

The 2 guys singing "There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright, BIG ANDO!" on the way out the stadium topped off my day

Yup. Sitting on his backside moaning to the ref as Dundee (?) were playing on and scoring at Firhill was a particular low point. Leaning over forwards when he got the ball and then losing possession in a high percentage of cases was a famiar sight last season when he made it onto the park. He was definitely pretty good for about 18 months or so, more than Barton or Dumbuya, similar to Higgy. Between Abdul and Archie, his time was soured last season

Harkins 2nd booking was never a foul, never mind a yellow. My issue is that Harkins should have been subbed off earlier in the half as both he and Bannigan were sitting on yellows, so I put Caldwell at fault for that. Dallas lost the plot and we should have had a penalty in my opinion. Caldwell should walk and he can take Storey with him.

Not liking or enjoying being a football player probably doesn't help.

Good stuff. Hopefully he can continue to improve and get back to his pre-injury best

Ooft this was a well intentioned shambles. The 'players' were rubbish with little to no apparent ability... and then they sent these actors on to do a choreographed re-enactment of the Cup win. I think they might have done a commentary, but what was happening on the park bore little relation to this. It was a bit cringe, a bit surreal and very much trendy West Endy

Nope. Maybe just 3 with Dundee United with Booth, Frans & Barton.

Everyone played their part today, Sneddon made a couple of vital saves and kicked well as usual; Jeffries didn't do anything wrong, steady; McGinty won a lot of balls, some crap long passes; Scobbie read the game well; Elliot unlucky not to be man of the match, looked threatening and got up and down the park well; Penrice looked good cutting in from the left, particularly 1st half; Banzo nothing too flash but kept things moving; Spittal had a very good game all round, took his goal well and was sprinting back to close men down late in the game; Mutumbo looked threatening but wasteful with the ball on a few occasions; McCarthy had a few nice touches after coming on; Storey worked hard had a couple of chances before the goal, heading in the right directon, fingers crossed; Dools looks short of pace, but used the ball well and was helping out the defence on a few occasions. Erskine had no real impact in the time he was on and Quitongo rummled up their defence a bit when he came on for Storey. Dubious as to whether Storey's goal from the little flick actually crossed the line, but after the ghost goal I'll take it. Dunfermline were pish, but for the most part we looked motivated and well organised.

Ho ho ho!
