Overall, I thought that we weren’t too bad. Of course, we still suffer from the perennial Thistle problem of failing to take our chances when we are on top. We’re still lacking in midfield whether that’s something we can address during the window, is for others to answer, depending on the finances.Defence looked generally sound, but whether that’s because we were good or they were poor is again a matter for debate. Going forward, we looked decent and always looked a threat if some of our finishing was wayward, to say the least. The game should have been finished in the first-half and against a better standard of opponent, that would have come back to haunt us. Still how many games like this have we lost over the years and three points are three points.

Doolan, out that was an unacceptable performance today! 😀

Not that surprised: it’s impossible to guess what team’s going to turn up. Unfortunately, today was the not very good one.

Well done Stevie Lawless., again!

So predictable!

Today’s result was exactly what anyone even remotely ‘au fait’ either the fate of Partick Thistle Football Club. Unfortunately, since the Ross County we’ve lost the beating heart of our side and equally unfortunately we’re highly unlikely to replace them any time soon. We’re now paying the price for the previous boards failed gamble on winning promotion last season. Do people seriously expect us to double down and try that gamble again? Frankly to do so would destroy our club, financially. That cannot be allowed to happen. We’ll just have to fly with what we’ve got on the books. I really wish I could paint a more optimistic picture,, but I honestly cannot. .

At the minute I’ll be happy if we finish in a play-off spot. I honestly, don’t think it’s fair on the manager or players to expect anything else this season. The Championship is infamous for being much of a muchness and I think our financial position at the moment will prevent us to a significant degree from competing at the top of the table. Certainly, if what I’ve seen to date is what we’ll see every week. Of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t want to win the League, but at the minute that looks decidedly unlikely.

I wouldn’t know, it’s been years since I won anything, but I can definitely confirm that Allan is a kosher guy!

Was it really that long again? G’eez!

As good a performance as you could honestly expect at this time in the season and considering the resources at the managers disposable.

At least we got a positive result?

A very unusual scenario, not?

Anyone know if there’s a livestream for this game, not in the mood to travel to the fisherman’s paradise that is Peterhead?

Personally, I’d like to see Somner back, but hey…

It’s almost a week later and if I’m being honest I still haven’t got over Dingwall deep. As others have said probably better than I’m able to ‘it’s only a game’. However, what that simple statement of fact fails to capture is the degree of emotional capital you invest in your team and how it provides at the very least the background to so much of the really important things in life e.g. family, relationships etc. and probably most importantly of al memory and remembering. So Sunday’s game won’t forever occasion great weeping and gnashing of teeth, but it will always leave a deep imprint on the soul of every Jags fan particularly those who were there.

Fitzpatrick had an injury.

Ditto!

It will.

Sorry Robert, but I thought myself until I checked it out and found that wasn’t the case. Incidentally, I’m doing ‘ no bad’ I suppose, keep bugering on and al that. Hope that yourself and your good lady are doing well. Mark

Sorry, the curse of the autocorrect there Dougie’s correct email is ‘[email protected]’ Apologies for any inconvenience. Mark

If the concession ticket your after concerns someone who is disabled in some way you could do worse than contacting dao@ptfc and explain your situation to Dougie MacInnes, the Club’s Disability Access Officer who, I’m certain will be able to sort something out. To be honest Dougie just phoned me to discuss this exact situation half an our ago. It’s made worse obviously by the bank holiday, however we both agreed that it is an issue that needs to be resolved by the clubs admin. I’d advise anyone who is disabled or acts as a carer and hopefully can offer a simple workaround. Incidentally to ‘ Auld Jag’, Robert I just found out myself that officially a concession ticket only admits one person, but it surely not beyond the wit of man for the club to allow people who give their names to Dougie to be allowed two people in on the strength of one ticket and Dougie cognisance.

Not in any way, on the same level as Dougie! 😀

Last time I was at Starks Park was the promotion season when we held out for a draw after O’Donnell was sent off! Please Thistle don’t put us through that experience again?

Knowing the Jags we’re odds on to get a losing bonus point and I have no idea how that scenario would play out!?😃

Seems to be a real problem we have giving away dead soft goals?
