Is the replay on TV?

I was thinking the same.

Just got worse.

Wont the game be on TV meaning there will potentially be a reduced away support?

Was hoping McCarthey and Quitongo would have started. Cant believe Storey is still in after last week.

Perfect. Cheers mate.

Does anyone know if its possible to sync Thistles fixtures with my google calendar so they show in my phone?

Tough start to the season for us. Hibs away, celtic at home then St Johnstone in Perth.

GET IN!!!!

Davie McParland is 75 now, yet he can recall every moment of those League Cup final celebrations with true clarity after humbling Celtic on October 23, 1971. That's because the legendary Thistle manager does not drink. However, McParland would love to see Alan Archibald make it a Firhill 'double' by beating Celtic tonight and taking another step closer to Thistle's holy grail. Thistle have only won two trophies in their history, having won the Scottish Cup in 1921 by beating Rangers, and then McParland's incredible side thrashing a star-studded Celtic team 4-1 at Hampden. The 43rd anniversary of that triumph was last week and the goals from Alex Rae, Bobby Lawrie, Dennis McQuade and Jimmy Bone are imprinted on McParland's mind. He had only been in the job for 18 months - the man who had spent 16 years as a Thistle player succeeded the veteran manager Scott Symon - when he outwitted Jock Stein to deliver the club's last trophy. "I don't think Jock Stein underestimated us but I do think some of the Celtic players felt the medals were already in their pockets," said McParland. "They thought they would win at a canter and we took advantage of that. "I told my players on the bus going to Hampden that we could win. If you don't go into any game with that attitude, you might as well stay at home. I don't know if the players believed me but I had to get them revved up." McParland's words had an effect. Rae and Lawrie had Thistle 2-0 up in 15 minutes and McQuade and Bone compounded the pain for Celtic for an incredible 4-0 half-time scoreline that reverberated around Britain. This was a Celtic side which had reached a European Cup final just 17 months earlier and would make the semi-finals in that same 1971/72 campaign. Celtic's emerging talent, Kenny Dalglish, cut the deficit in the second half, but nothing could stop McParland's side from lifting the League Cup. "I had only been a manager for 18 months but that was the pinnacle of my career, " said McParland. "It was a shock because we won so convincingly. "What was really nice was taking the trophy back to Firhill where all our fans had got back from Hampden. Then the players got changed into their good suits and we went for a meal at the Buchanan Hotel in Glasgow. You have to enjoy these moments because they don't last long. I don't drink at all, so it was easier for me to take everything in that night. "I don't get to Firhill as often as I would like to now, because it's not so easy to walk, but sometimes my daughter drives me there. "Alan Archibald is doing a very good job and playing good football. He got them promotion just as I did in 1970/71. "He's been in charge about the same amount of time as I was when we beat Celtic, so maybe that's an omen. If they beat Celtic, they would have a great chance. If Thistle got to the final, I would get a ticket and go to that." McParland also played a part in bringing silverware to Celtic Park too. He quit as Thistle manager in 1974 and was in charge of Queen's Park when Stein took him to Celtic in 1976 as his assistant. Celtic won a league and Scottish Cup double in 1977 but McParland had to leave when Billy McNeill took over from Stein as manager in 1978. "It was the right club but the wrong time for me, " said McParland. "I was assistant manager of one of the biggest clubs in the world. "I loved being there. It just didn't work out but I got to work alongside one of the best managers in football and that was priceless."

Wasnt the jester strip A ***** creation? Pretty sure the year we won the 2nd division was the fans designed strips. D!ck is blocked by the swear filter? What ashame for Richards everywhere.

When is the new away top being launched?

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Yeeessssss

If we lose and Hibs draw Hibs goal difference would be better than ours so they would finish above us.

I've just had a look and it says theres over 3000 still left. Was the away overspill section not included in your 1020? Edited to add that I just looked at the ross county game and that says exactly the same number are available.

Wasnt it ATS who got the winner?

Will taiwo be suspended against us after his red card last night?

With aberdeen be8ng 2nd in the league id imagine they'll focus on their shortcomings. Hopefully we get the credit we deserve. On the radio dodds was creaming himself over our play.

C unts must really want our money now

We looked more dangerous from corners today than we have in a long time, Balatoni was unlucky not to get his header on target and I think it was a tougher chance than a poster above said. He was also unlucky not to have an assist to his name after that run from defence before putting Taylor in who should have scored. United did seem to sit in after they scored, they seemed to think it was job done and we wouldnt score. Collum was his usual useless self. Bannigans booking was probably correct but he seemed to indicate to the Price he was booked for persistent fouling even though it was only his second foul of the game. Happy with a point and just need to start taking our chances.
