The issue as I seen it was additional support may help us get over the line on Friday. If we somehow stumble at this hurdle ( I hope we don't)....then of course no need to invest in the play offs. Bit of a gamble in my eyes. Nb I was thinking subsidised busses, not free.
-
Vital game. 24 quid a ticket. Are the club not running some sort of initiative to get our support out? Or are we saving that to play offs. Nb looks like raith running discounted supporters buses....

Let's be honest there is zero chance of the SPL increasing in size....ever. Must admit a bigger Championship would get my vote. Go to 12 And have the same split as SPL with the bonus of play offs.

Bonkers game. We are not a good team but the defence was magnificent. I've supported bannigan but tonight he effectively said goodbye to a new contract. Unforgivable in my eyes.

Surely that’s relevant about any manager or do you mean because he is likely more unpopular than other coaches we are linked with eg Rhys McCabe, Ian Murray etc
My point applies to any manager who ultimately gives us success. Thankfully the fanbase doesn't actually decide....

If Imrie gets us to the Premier League no one would care about the history of the man. Its not a popularity contest.

Nothing surprises me with this team/squad. Just not good enough all over the pitch. I can't work out if it's better to finish 4th than 5th. A sad indightment of this season.

Abject performance. Two goals we lost were amateurish. As some around me said today we don't deserve to be in play offs.....

Sometimes being on holiday and having limited access to wifi is a blessing....

I wonder how many bookings chic Charney would have picked up for us if he had played the same number of games as Stuart bannigan has? Irrespective of your views as bannigan as a player, no one can surely doubt his commitment to the team....near his contact ending or not ( just saying ).
-
Very solid performance today. Two excellent goals and well deserved win. The improvement continues....
-
Only sensible decision that could be made. Graham could be in the right place at right time. Can't deny he is a hard worker on and off the park.
-
If Graham was to leave now we have zero chance of promotion via the play offs. We have little goal threat as it is!

All the very best admin, whoever you may be. Life far more important and i wish you all the best. To those posters who are in the virulent and vexatious camp ( you know who you are ), perhaps a degree of humility and reflection should be the order of the day.

Agree with this. I don't understand why teams do this, surely the idea is to get the ball away from your goal and closer to the opposition's goal.
They do it because its how modern football teams play at almost all levels of professional football. Cruyff, Klopp, Pep have a lot to answer for.....

Basically more of the same with these winless wonders. Actually, Doolan in charge would have fared no worse than our results in the past two performances.
To be fair, again there are some signs of improvement. Here's how I saw individual performances:
Budinauckas: Looks dependable enough, though we've rarely seen him under real pressure (thanks to the defence, maybe). Clearly belongs to that cult that believes in taking as long as possible before releasing the ball. One day while he's standing with the ball at his feet, teasing the forward to come for it, he'll get caught out by somebody who moves and thinks faster than him.
Megwa: Was having a kind of dream game, which turned into a literal dream for their equalizer. What on earth was he thinking? (Was he even earth at that moment?)
Reid: Contender for MotM. Think we've got a good one there.
O'Reilly: Standard, solid performance.
Ashcroft: Standard, solid perormance.
McBeth: For me, easily our MotM: The only one showing the will to take proceedings by the scruff of the neck and try to go at them. You can see his frustration with what's around him.
Martin: Decent performance. Looks like he has more to show.
Bannigan: Looks busy, actually does little. The King of "Stop immediately and see if you can pass it backwards!"
Graham: Did what he's paid to do as a player: scored one goal, missed more chances.
Chalmers: Excellent effort, especially in the first half. Another who I think has to lower himself to accommodate the limitations of his team mates.
Crawford: I had to check the team sheet to see which player in the starting line-up I'd forgotten. Yep.
Substitutes:
Turner: Committed a foul, got booked. Our free kicks and corners were no more feeble than the ones he serves up week after week. Wasn't missed, and apart from the foul and card, wasn't noticed.
Stanway: I think he should start: has more grit and two or three starters put together, and some good passes. Also got booked (again); congratulations.
MacKenzie: I remember one header and one blooter to nowhere. Enough to guarantee his place on the bench before his next 5-minute appearance as a sub when we are desperate.
Another observation: What the f*** is it with these goal kicks when we have two defenders on the 6-yard line and one passes it 3 yards to the keeper, who then has to do something with it as an opposition player bombs down on him? It's an absolute piece of sh*te, and somebody will need to show me convincing evidence of any team anywhere actually benefiting from this "tactic," which obviously has been copied from somewhere.
The playoffs: If we make it, surely we'll go out in the first round.
Your assessment of the individual performances is pretty accurate. Strange your ultimately negative on the collective performance. It was miles better than what we have witnessed this season. Ultimately we have a weak bench which will cause us problems, but tonight there was some signs of hope....if we continue in that vein.

Graham could have had a hattrick
Could but not should.

Under the cosh for last 30 mins. But if we show that commitment until end of season we will make the play offs and compete. We shall see.

Well deserved lead. Who would have believed we have tactically outthought another team....

Looks a very defensive line up to me....

Was not a fan first time round....but he's here now, so will support him

A very good night for us results wise. Quietish on the forum suggests this may have not gone down well in some quarters....

Exactly just JLS making things up again.
I still fear Graham will be appointed permanent manager. They would not dare announce it though after drawing with Airdrie. They would wait till after he gets his first win, so if we beat a tired Livingston side on friday they will announce Graham as permanent the next day. This board seem incapable of considering anyone whos not already a player at Thistle
Well we are unfit, so an even chance if they are tired.....its almost as if you are looking for an excuse if we win!
Livvy game. Supporting the team
