3 years younger than Naismith. I’d prefer Naismith. McMillan was highly regarded ? By Caldwell maybe !
That’s what I remember. We had him in dark days and I was delighted to get rid.
I recall he turned his back on a shot which trickled into the net.

Fitzpatrick mentioned elsewhere. Cochrane at Queens think Cochrane is still under contract tho', O'Hara at Dunfermline also heard Lawless mentioned.
Ohara played well against us in the 1-4 game but was then a sub.
Has he a pedigree?

Fitzpatrick was coming back into form prior to getting injured. I think he had scored in his previous 3 games and QOS were on a bit of a resurgence. After that, it petered out.
If we lose Tiff, he’s a possibility.
Connolly at QOS? Not sure if he was on loan.

It was a choice of dinner out with the family or catch the game tonight. I think I know why I have only attended one match this season as I really enjoyed my dinner. Stuck the tv on record and have just finished watching the live highlights. Both teams played heedies and kicks and not one player who you would get out of your bed to watch on both teams. Really fed up watching journeyman pros who cant put their foot on the ball and just wish for one player again with a bit of flair and swagger. Normally a team has a star player but I am struggling to think of our last... Kris?
Totally indifferent to the result on Friday. Who wants to go up to the Premier league watching this crap. It will be just too painful to endure. I hope Arbroath go up. We need to reset.
You obviously haven’t seen Tiffoney. He’s been quite outstanding all season.
Away and keep the restaurants in business and watch Liverpool on the box.
Perhaps you have leanings to PTFC but you’re of no use to us with that attitude.

Can’t believe jags fans aren’t up for this.
I appreciate we’ve been rank rotten since Christmas but this is the climax of the season. What’s the point watching all season then not being up for the climax?
If Tiff plays we have a real chance. He’s ripped them up all season!
Lets get up to Firhill, have a pint in Tennents, the Woodside or the Botany, forget the BBC and get behind the team!

There were quite a few spaced out Jags fans. Most were quite happy in their own little world, not upsetting anyone, singing, backing the team and not reacting to being goaded by a large Ayr support(which could have turned nasty).
Foster, who has been one of our better players this season, was having a shocker along with several others. He’s a good pundit, well spoken, informative, amusing. He has a short fuse though.
I don’t believe he’d have punched the abusive fan(haud me back!) but the incident raised an issue. I’ve never doubted his passion or effort for the game or PTFC unlike certain other ex OF players. He was the only player to react. But why should they take that abuse unless they’ve downed tools? Fans should back the team.
But, why did Foster have to walk round the pitch when substituted? Was he encouraging further abuse?
-
Assuming we make 4th place, our (perhaps remote) chance of promotion is with a fit and firing Tiff. Everyone knows how vital he is.
He was clearly ill or injured on Saturday. Has there been any news?

I just want to see a good game.
Week after week it’s garbage. No skill, flair, pace. And no entertainment. I’d prefer to lose 4-3 than the dreaded 1-0 every time.
Thank God for Tiff. There’s absolutely nothing coming from the midfield. Delivery is a joke. How everyone laughed when Jak crossed the ball over the JL stand and Hendrie was trying to cross the corner flag instead of the ball.
But McKenna’s crosses are not even laughable. We had some good passes in to him 1st half. Every one wasted. I just felt sorry for him. He didn’t wNt to be there. For God sake McCall, do something radical at RB. The boy’s a haddie!

From being at the game last night, I do not quite buy in to the general impression that we were rubbish, Queens were brilliant, and the result was a total travesty. I accept that Queens had the majority of the play, that Gibson was the most accomplished player on the park, and that we owe a lot to the excellence of Jamie Sneddon.
However, all through the game, I thought it at least equally likely that Thistle would score. Queens did not create much themselves and many of their chances resulted from the style of defending perfected by Niall Keown and Danny Devine, where you deliberately hit the ball off your own player. I did not see that extra gear that would make Queens a more potent force.
Tiffoney had one of his less effective games. No criticism of him. He was the one with the responsibility to produce the creative magic, so he had to try things, but they were not coming off. Still the potential was there, and I was fairly confident that at some point he would turn on some game-changing moment of skill, and that was exactly what he did.
After the goal we kept control of the last half hour and the final whistle seemed to come very early, as there was no 5 minutes of desperate bombardment to endure at the end. So to me, an encouraging performance and a continuation of the progression of improvement in the Kilmarnock/Arbroath/QoS games after the Hamilton/Dunfermline nightmares. Also good that Hendrie and Jakubiak were contributing more, and I can see them both being important over the next few games.
And that delicate touch from Brian Graham to unlock the gate for Tiffoney gets better every time you look at it.
I agree and disagree.
We couldn’t string 2 passes together. They were by far the better team. We survived through good luck, bad finishing and good goalkeeping.
But we did look as if we could score. At last! Having Tiff and Graham back makes a huge difference. They are just good attackers. I find Graham frustrating because he’s grumpy, petulant, slow, and always picking up inane bookings. But he’s a bloody good footballer and bursts a gasket every game.
Tiff is just class and looks as if he’s returning to form.
They couldn’t have scored a goal like that.
I recall a game vs Rangers when we played brilliantly, were all over them when that we Skandanavian winger Lundstrom or something scored a cracker. Rather similar scenario.
We have been let down by the back up squad if Smith, Crawford, Murray , Alegria and other fringers. Jak needs to come good soon.

Was a great result for us and yes, we really do want to be in the play-offs.
With results as they've been, it could be that 1 more win is enough for 4th place.
Considering the kind of season it's been, I'd take that and any chances that come with it.
It's not as if Arbroath, Inverness and Dundee are world beaters either.
Unfortunately they just need to be Jags beaters and some really crap teams have been doing that lately.
However I think we’re improving slowly but surely. We should make the playoffs which will give us some money but there’s not a hope in Hell that we’ll win 3 ties in quick succession.
Unless Tiff goes mental……

Much better today. It looked as thought we were taking over from half time. Banzo was linking well with Hendrie. Tiff was troubling them.
Their RB had his hands full. Then he took Banzo off! ‘WTF’ I thought. Thereafter we struggled to a point.

Turner didn’t start in either so no idea why you are highlighting him ahead of any of the 11 chancers that were starting each game and contributed nothing
I’ve never understood the Turner love in.
He played Saturday and was swatted aside like a fly. Constantly caught in possession and regularly passed the ball to an Accie. Agreed, everyone else apart from Banzo did the same.
He was dreadful when he came on tonight.
His strength is dead balls but there’s nobody to cross to now.

I appreciate that Alegria hasn’t been the answer. But the decision to sub him for Murray was inexplicable.
He was solitary, chasing aimless punts and sometimes held it up for non running midfielders. Murray was never going to be able to play that role. He’d have been better trying McKenna up front to possibly win some headers! He certainly ain’t a right back.
Bypassing the midfield would have been a plus today and Saturday. Turner, Smith and Crawford were passengers.
-
Smith and Crawford jogged through the 1st half.
Lazy barstewards need a kicking.
-
Having (almost) recovered, calmed down, and considered matters rationally, I’ve come to the conclusion that tomorrow is make or break.
If Tiff, Graham and Foster are back, this will make a huge difference. Holt to cb,
Smith, Tunji and Turner or Crawford out.
Back on track’

Change of mentality required.
Score, score and score again, Don’t depend on defence.

Not sure it makes that much of a difference but Jakubiak and Alegria aren't our players. I think the latter will have received plenty one on one coaching. Jakubiak is raw and certainly requires much specialist coaching.
Was thinking yesterday along the lines of partickthedog that Alex may benefit from being played in a wider position. Perhaps ideally in a front three? Tiffoney has to his credit chipped in with a few goals, but even if he hadn't no one would be too critical. Still be considered our best player. If Jakubiak was played that bit wider there'd be less pressure on him scoring. More pressure on him being creative, which is something I believe he could handle. His strength would be also helpful when having to track back.
We’ve been struggling to create anything for poor old Graham.
Theres nothing constructive coming from the midfield so the number 10 position becomes vital. I don’t believe Jak’s delivery from wide is up to scratch so playing him wide is not the answer,
He causes mayhem around the edge of the box with movement, strength and speed. Smith has none of these attributes (does he have any?). We get absolutely zero from Smith so we should try Jak as a 10- a causing mayhem 10 rather than a Cruyff/Hazzard type!
Im surprised McAlistair hasn’t featured. I know he was poor when he came on but he hasn’t been give any opportunity.

Watched it on tv and I was thinking the exact same thing about Jakubiak, he impressed me in the first half and he was the only guy in our team they seemed troubled by. If he’s not injured that’s one of the worst decisions I’ve seen to take a player off.
I agree, he was terrific but I can’t see him ever scoring a goal.
We have a problem in that we only have 1 player who can score. And he’s a 34 year old cart horse with a knackered back.
Perhaps Jakubiak could be played in Smith’s role as he’s basically crap.

Strange game. For the first 15 minutes Big Wull's team talk was doing its job and we were right on it. Scored one and looked likely to score more.
Next hour we drifted and it was no surprise when the equaliser came. Felt sorry for Jamie. Faced with one on one and made a great save, but the rest of the defence failed him and Morton scored on the "second phase".
What may not be apparent to those who did not see the game, was that after Morton scored, we had a very good and proactive spell. Hendrie put in some great crosses, there were some incisive moves and we came close to scoring several times. So it was not a case of our collapsing and being over-run.
Unfortunately we did not nail any of our chances, Morton scored again, this time against the run of play, and that was it.
After we scored, we just stopped playing. Our defence cannot expect to deliver shutouts every game. We’ve been getting too used to winning 1-0.
Intensity and mental attitude are well worked football phrases. There was none of that today. They knew Morton were crap and didn’t believe they’d ever score.
As you say, we put together a good spell after their equaliser awakened us from our slumber.
Management and captain should have been encouraged to go for the jugular rather than fart about.

Our first quarter 5 wins and 4 losses was more productive points wise (15) than our third quarter 3 wins 5 draws 1 defeat (14). We reached the 14 by winning our last 2 games, otherwise the return would have been paltry indeed.
Winning and losing is much better than drawing. Clean sheets (and even more so 0-0 draws) are over-rated!
However!
The 2 late equalisers for draws against Killie and Arbroath denied them 2 points each. That could be vital.

Thought the ref should have yellowed the QOS goalie for blatant time wasting in second half when 0-0 ….amazing how our goal put a spring in his step .
Agreed. I don’t understand why keepers are allowed to take a bye kick from eithe side of the 6 yard box. It encourages time wasting.
Sneddon was (correctly) booked vs Airdrie so there’s a lack of consistency.
-
McCall needs to make changes to the midfield. The final ball is not good enough.
Smith and Murray were dreadful and shouldn’t start again. Turner, Banzo, Doc and Jakubiak were excellent 2nd half and the back 4 tight.
Dont think Alegria played badly but he’s too similar to Jakubiak.

If we are promoted we’ll have a far higher budget for recruitment.
Martindale has to change half his personnel every summer but finds and improves players. Fitzwater, Forrest, Nouble and others.
We played Arabs off the park. Arbroath should have beaten Hibs, Morton should have beaten ‘Well. There’s not much to fear if we can hang on to Tiff and the best of our current players and recruit as well as Livi.
Lets take this opportunity now and go for it! If we fail it shouldn’t be for lack of ambition.
Transfer Targets? Who we getting in and who would you fancy that’s out of contract.
