Back with a bang. A 4-2 victory against Motherwell to progress to the next round in the Scottish Cup. Came from behind twice but totally bossed the second half. Well done!

Is he on the groundstaff as well?

More rumours: Dundee United are leading the race to sign talented Queen’s Park skipper Dom Thomas. The 27-year-old has been a bright light for struggling Spiders and pitched in with a vital goal in Friday’s 2-1 win over Dunfermline. That’s alerted a host of Championship rivals and sparked a bidding war to land the former Scotland Under-21 star. Title favourites Dundee United look the winger’s most likely destination but league leaders Raith Rovers and Partick Thistle are also interested. It’s understood that all three clubs have contacted Queen’s Park and are willing to pay a fee for the winger. Spiders will wait for the best offer but it’s understood that Thomas would prefer a move to the Tannadice outfit. Tangerines boss Jim Goodwin is eager to bolster his side’s attack this month and views Thomas – who had spells at Motherwell, Kilmarnock and the Pars – as key to United’s bid to bounce straight back up to the Premiership. Jags boss Kris Doolan is also desperate to add more firepower.

A return to action with a home tie in the Scottish Cup against Motherwell, kick off at noon. Wrap up if you are going to the game. https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-fixture/partick-thistle-wfc-v-motherwell-wfc-7th-january-2024/#match-preview

We should stick you in goals as nothing gets past you!

Ross Stewart confirmed: https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/ross-stewart-added-to-goalkeeping-group/

Former Hearts keeper Ross Stewart is set to sign for Partick Thistle. The ex-Tynecastle backup has been without a club since the summer after his deal in Gorgie ended. With Craig Gordon and Zander Clark ahead of him, Stewart left the capital club but has found securing his next move a challenge. But now he's set to don the gloves in Maryhill and assist Partick's promotion push.

I sent a few questions (nothing about the Bing) so can I just ask how will the response be dealt with? Will it be replies sent to individuals or a summary sent to all members? Thanks in advance.

Now in the second half of the season (with 100% success rate) so let's put this one in the filing cabinet and await the end of term report.

Although Arbroath are not on a great run, apart from the 3-0 defeat to Dundee Utd their recent defeats have all been by 1 goal so I expect them to be tricky opponents tomorrow. They have been struck with a lot of injuries which has meant several players playing with knocks and others having to play the full 90 minutes at a time of year when the games come thick and fast on sometimes heavy pitches. I think we have enough going forward to win but am not expecting it to be a rout (hope to be proved wrong).

That is a good question. I would hope we keep him (unless we get an offer of "silly money") as he does play an important role with his link up with Lawless and if that helps us get through the play offs then we can either offer him a new deal or he can leave with our best wishes.

Doolan only lost 1 game in the regular season after he took over which did represent an improvement on the points per game prior to his appointment. Now not having a go at you because it is something a lot of people say in football which annoys me. In a league with 9 other teams and each team playing the others 4 times your final position is always going to be a combination of your results and the other teams - they literally list the number of wins, draws and losses in tabular form!

Last time I checked the number in front of your club name in the table was what mattered when it came to deciding who gets promoted, relegated, etc. And even taking your point about points it still represents our 2nd best total which does not, for me anyway, indicate some worrying level of under achieving.

With nothing better to do today here is our halfway position in each of the Championship seasons since we got relagated from the top flight: 18/19 - 9th (14 points) 19/20 - 9th (18 points) 21/22 - 5th (31 points) 22/23 - 5th (27 points) 23/24 - 3rd (29 points) So our best league position at this stage of this season and if the manager is doing it with a few players who are not as good as ones who have been here in those previous seasons I say good on him.

An interesting career path so far, I am sure we all wish him well.

The curse of the calendar strikes again! If you don't have one yet and want to see who is still here in which month get one at the game tomorrow.
