I enjoyed seeing the 4-3-3 set up. For that to work the midfield have to work their socks off and they didn't fail in doing just that. The forwards interchanged well. Stewart looks a decent player but I suppose he'll be judged in time more on his goal scoring potential than his teamwork. Much more attack minded today but I don't suppose the result was that important. Campbell did really well setting Erskine up for his goal.

...I heard on the radio tonight that the rearranged Q o S v Ross Co fixture is to be played at a neutral venue. Surely that works against Cowdenbeath as they and County try to avoid the play off position? I don't for a moment believe that Queens should benefit from this fixture but in no way should Cowdenbeath's chances of staying up be reduced. Maybe if Cowden hadn't had to travel to Palmerston today they might have done better than draw with Queens. From a selfish point of view I suppose our chances of finishing fourth are slightly better but imo this is just another example of the totally inept SFL making arbitrary decisions.

I got into supporting the Jags mainly as my Dad said to me one thing you'll never get asked by a fellow Jags fan is if you look on Thistle as a mini Celtic or Rangers. Gotta say the Old Man was correct. Well for the first 38 odd years anyway.

or who's your favourite Chuckle brother.

Is that a reference to that time he when mental as his kebab was not what he ordered? All he could say in a drunken stupor was "shish not ewe".

I notice you haven't posted your preference.

That's all right as long as it wasn't all shook up.

I wouldn't be that surprised if Lochhead makes the bench. He's been travelling with the team and if one of the players had pulled up early enough pre match he'd have been included.

In my mind Billy Allan's financial input into the Club would only mirror Dundee if that input was expressed in terms of a loan.

I've always liked Rowson in both his spells at Firhill. In fact I feel at times he's almost worthy of a testimonial. That said, and maybe others have the same opinion as myself, but today I'm close to rather cynical thoughts about DR. I'll leave it at that till we find out more about next season's squad.

Tho' they'll forever deny it the Presley connection with Parkhead shouldn't be swept under the carpet. I'm old enough to remember that huge fall out Elvis had with Colonel Tom Parker (his manager and a closet Airdrieonian supporter). Parker was furious with Presley over his choice a song he had recorded and threatened to sue him over breach of contract. Regardless Presley ignored Col Tom and went ahead and released Crying in the Chapel. A furious Parker considered telling the world that Elvis did in fact get off that plane at Prestwick where he hailed a taxi outside the Red Lion and headed up to Seamill just to watch the tims train. As for faking his death I thought that was more to do with his shock when he realised finally why Parker always pissed himself each time he sang I Just Want to Be Your Teddy Bear.

Straying a bit here but no matter how good, bad or average a defender was I always remember them for their rare scoring moments and most famous goal. Having been at that game I have but one single memory of David Narey Similarly McQueen's header in '77 (Wembley), Holton '73 (v Czechs) and of course Sandy Hodge at Starks

I imagine in the instance of Reid he's too high profile to be targeted in a similar manner. It's highly likely his mail is always redirected and in any case there would be a complete news blackout.

Too much of a realist to ditto lennythistle's post. Got to assume that we'll have a game up there in the near future too important to ignore. But till then I echo his sentiments and this game coming up is clearly missable tho' I might have been tempted if I thought there was a serious possibility of us sticking them in the play offs. Even at only £5 entry I find myself similarly minded to Hot Shot. Dens and Cappielow are the only two grounds I plan to stay away from on principle but in truth I don't need to be very strong willed to avoid a trip to Dens.

...and thus not liable but still a liability.

Yip, they just seem to have switched off completely.

At £5 I still make that £3.86 more than what we should be offering.

My Cup got Runneth Over

That was against Peterhead in what was an otherwise dire depressing defeat.

Anyone else think they've been pinching out of other club's collecting buckets? btw not a slur on Greenock or its inhabitants who I'm sure are most law abiding upright pillars of society.

Much as I saw it as well. Would add that after Rowson went off Campbell defended well. Also I doubt very much had we Hodge, Flannigan or even Donnelly fit that Cairney would be playing anything like 90 minutes if at all. You can see signs of him returning to normal when he's on the ball but getting to the ball in time is too rare an event. Still don't like to be over critical of Cairney due to our injury situation. Thought if a goal was going to come for us there was every likelihood it would come from a penalty after Erskine getting chopped. Falkirk by and large defended well but there was more of a trace of panic about them when Erskine had the ball. Not sure if he's better playing down the flank or thru the middle (as he did much of last night). If he plays like he did last night often enough next season we should be due a few penalties.

The injury situation might dictate otherwise but we usually try to play 4-4-2 against Falkirk.

Struggling to come to terms with the "other proposals". Does that mean for instance when they come to discuss proposal 3- "Broadcasting revenues to increase by 50% in five years" they actually take a vote on it?

Barry Smith?

This news puts a completely different slant on UB40's (I am the) One in Ten.
