After Raith’s result today, this game becomes a bit more significant.

I feel that the home club should be compensated for having to rearrange a game because of postponements due to international matches and for that matter cup games also. Not sure how it would work if several international teams are involved, though. On another note, our game with Dunfermline was scheduled for the Friday - was that meant to be a TV game ?

I think there is a standard which is 3 players away on international duty.

Probably means specifically Ochilview to see how it plays.

Both Doolan and McCall were sacked because there was a danger of not even making the playoffs. The manager and players saying they want to get promoted is totally different from it being as unacceptable if it doesn’t happen. I am not sure about us being the best resourced. Dunfermline have a bigger fan base and Livingston have their parachute payments and an American owner. I wouldn’t be surprised if both of them have bigger budgets than us. And I would hazard a guess that Raith are in the same ballpark as us.

Noticed it was still there and in use.

It’s the weakest league since Falkirk won it. That was our year, wasn’t it ? Has it been stated that nothing less than promotion is acceptable?

We do have cover if Samuel or Watt get injured - Henderson has played in that role.

Is that a private joke ?

Does Josh Clark get a cap for being on the NI bench ?

Dismissing players because they come from lower placed clubs is misplaced in my view. We have had many from lower leagues who have become standout at Thistle.

Was there a particular reason that highlighted profit after depreciation?

As I said, I don’t remember who sponsors what, don’t get a programme. If the packages are not being taken up you have to ask why

Can you still reclaim Vat for entertaining clients ? Even if you can, the ball sponsor is still 30% higher than just buying 10 places. Where is the advertising in the sponsorship? I never remember who has sponsored them. I think a business would get the same benefit without the sponsorship.

Why would you when you could just buy 10 places for about 1/2 the cost.

Still waiting for mine to arrive.

Pretty much every team in the division has a similar journey to make getting there, though. Unless the bbc just didn’t include them in the Friday games ?

From the few games that I have seen him play in, when he shoots it is on target in the vast majority of the time.

We could try Henderson in the number 9 spot. I am sure he didn’t get all his 19 goals last season from the wing.

My thoughts on VAR are if the referee has to go to the monitor, it can’t be clear and obvious that the ref made a mistake.

The Ross County player getting sent off in the 1st leg of the playoffs; the penalty vs Rangers in the cup ? Those two come to mind.

Would they get thrown out the league if that happens?

And as JJ says, if the PM doesn’t like the advisors he/she sacks them.

Maybe it is the case with a tall keeper that the target the opposition have to aim for is smaller , the result being that the shots are off target more ?

Pretty sure we can’t guarantee anymore than one or two games to any player. As far as goalkeepers are concerned, I think you can get a sense of how a keepers going to do by how he performs at penalties. And McFarlane was nowhere near any of the penalties vs Stenhousemuir.
