Making the national news on the radio, what a shame this is the only time we do.

How about leaving this all alone until Archibald's tenure is actually over?

Turns out I wasn't dreaming. (Commentator) Brian Mcloughlin - "Naismith goes to ground, referee Craig Thompson says no penalty. Well, they went shoulder to shoulder, the incident was outside the box, but either way, the referee Craig Thompson said play on." Gary Teale - "There's very small margins in this league, and these are big decisions, it's no just myself, it seems to be week in, week out, whatever game it is, there's big calls going against teams, and when you're down fighting for your life and you've got calls like that, then as I say, it's hard to take." Jonathan Sutherland - "Could have been though, a different game, potentially, if something happened here, to Conrad Balatoni when he brings down Gary Naismith, doesn't he?" Scott MacDonald - "You can see why Gary Teale's upset about it, I mean we've got the luxury of the replay, but even so, how the linesman thinks that he has got the ball from behind the man is quite incredible. That could, as you said, it could have changed the game, it's the last man, it's a red card, you know, Gary Teale will feel very hard done by, looking back at that." The commentator has no opinion on the incident, but the other three think it was a penalty. You've got it recorded though, so you must know what you're talking about. Tit. At least Gary Teale was talking immediately after the game - those two idiots in the studio have just watched the replay and still think it's a penalty.

I must have been dreaming because I'm sure both the pundits on Sportscene said it was a penalty. Has Gary Teale admitted he got is completely, utterly wrong yet? He seemed to think it was the injustice of the season.

Yep, that County goal comes from the absolute nadir of our season, as told by the only noise you can hear after they score is booing.

Is there a link? Personally I remember Fraser's goal up at Dens Park was a cracker this season.

Watford! And Stenhousemuir in the sunshine.

That's all depressing. Let's just have an all white strip. That should be the cheapest and they can punt us for £50 a pop.

Gotta love the ten advertising logos on the shirts and shorts, not including the club badges. I'll bet there's two or three on the backs, too!

The Puma shirts were spectacularly ill-fitting. It was like wearing a bin bag.

Don't understand that, sorry. Pointing out a fact is self-righteous and ignorant? You'll have to explain that to me. I don't understand what you're saying at all.

Our list of players out of contract is depressing (if some of them don't get signed up soon).

Because our colours are red & yellow, not red, yellow & black? Black isn't even our normal tertiary colour. Sure we've had white shorts more than black in our history. We've had white away shirts, sky blue away shirts, we played in navy blue for a long time. Black away shirts I don't think are that common - no more than purple or pink. Anyway, we're red AND yellow, not wont nother. I agree with macca that just because we won a cup in a yellow shirt a squillion years ago (the seventies, that great decade of fashion, natch), doesn't mean we should keep returning to it. Unbroken hoops or stripes, please and a collar that's actually a collar.

If we're going to have one colour why not red instead of yellow? Like the away shirts of the 70's ... but for the home.

They said the same about this seasons ...

Also a club badge that has some character instead of the literal baws we sport these days ...

No chance of that. We're shocking in how late we are in announcing/selling new shirts.

The stripes have been getting progressively thinner on these cruddy Joma shirts ... maybe next year we'll be similar to the nightmarish design St Mirren have had this year ... Maybe the away shirt could be in the style of that old 70's number - white with red/black hoop round the centre. Still, what we need is to dump Joma and get a manufacturer who isn't rubbish.

Any chance we can get Erskine back home?

I miss The Cup. Roll on next season when I'm sure he'll be back the moment things look rocky ...

Well, that was worth a new thread. Feeling refreshed tonight Lindau?

You're really looking for your keeper not to concede goals at his near post like that. Somewhat theatrical dive from Boyce. Neither of the two claims shown there are penalties! Grand goal from Frans.

So if Ross County beat Motherwell next week we're safe regardless of our own result? But we can beat the Buddies anyway! Keep moving up this table.

Full time. Great stuff Thistle! WHOOOO!

Oh, there's been plenty of that clear to hear. No noise from their fans of course.
