My view is that all three were very good players for us. Plenty of people thought the docherty/bannigan axis didn't work, so that conundrum now sorted. As always no player is irreplaceable so hopefully some new faces to come that will make us a decent team next year. For morale purposes important we get some new signings in ASAP.

Would promotion have not been futile (or perhaps embarrassing?) in the face of such financial issues?
Greater income - true
Massive expenditure required would have possibly out-stripped that income.
Still would have been better in the SPL without a doubt.

The news is bad but not surprising. If we could increase our season ticket sales by 500 to 1000, plus those who can afford it increase their TJF subs, I think we can ride this out. Certainly hope so.

Like most still coming to terms with what transpired yesterday. A huge opportunity missed. I see a few are predicting we won't be challenging next season. I'd like to think that doolan will build his own team in the style we have just witnessed. A big challenge of course. Clearly Dundee United should be strong....but their current team hardly world beaters. I suspect Inverness will be up there, but will we really be below morton; ayr and dunfermline? Who knows, but as many have said if the fans are as galvanised as of late, we can absolutely be challenging.

We were poor but could still have got over the line. Think our legs went tbh. I'm not going to blame any of the guys who missed a penalty. Hard to take.

One more...

Can't see Doolan changing it. Go with what has been working superbly. I think if we get the first goal they they crumble.

I'd have taken 2 nil before a ball was kicked. Ross County are not a good side. No reason not to be confident on Sunday.
-
Only 400 tickets left for home end. So that's looking like 7000 plus jags fans?

Hope and pray I'm wrong but.....
Think we'll come up short due to general naiveness and a lack of calm when it comes to the crunch.
In true Thistle style I predict a red card that will knacker our chances, or a Brownlie howler, possibly a Fitzpatrick blazed open goal chance or maybe even a borderline VAR decision.
The dream is 2 or 3 nil at Firhill and a solid defensive 2nd leg but can guarantee it'll be 2 legs of complete and utter torture/frustration.
Anyone got a spare DeLorean that I can borrow so that I can jump to half 6 on Sunday?
That's the spirit. Like all of us you can't guarantee diddly.....thankfully.

Let's just call it fate. Right place right time.

Seems rather churlish after such an emphatic win and a clean sheet but I feel one of our weaknesses all season has been an inability to see a game out (hold on to a lead). I'm not highlighting last night or Tuesday night as we were playing for the most part with a midfielder down. But there's been quite a few other games where we've been leading and ceded possession too much and too often. Annoying in two ways as the team is usually built up to play possession football and we're actually quite good at it.
I think you may be over analysing things after a 8 3 victory. We don't do perfection......that's boring lol

Absolutely criminal defending from both sides and Mitchell at their third goal. Dear God!
If by some miracle we get to the play off finals, we will get ragdolled by the Premiership side.
Best to concentrate on the positives. We scored some fine goals and have been on a very good run of results. Ragdolled by county, Dundee United etc....have you watched them this season. Nothing to fear if....we get there.

Listening from afar on holiday. Glad I missed it as my ticker may have been struggling. We always do it the hard way....

Slavering nonesense? Doolan won a few games, we have been up and down form wise like half of the top 6 since the season started. He’s made no great difference.
And no he doesn’t deserve more time than others, ffs what a stupid thing to say !
He's only had 11 games. That was the point I was trying to make. It's definitely stupid to think he could have done much better in the circumstances. Nb the season is not finished.
-
Some slavering nonsense on here. Doolan has inherited a squad and we have lost one game in 11. What were people expecting? Like all managers he deserves time. In fact he deserves more. Simples and...we are probably actually where we deserve to be with this squad.

Aiden has played 31 games so far this season. I'd suggest he has had ample time to get up to speed.....the pre season issue not an issue
-
I know that Brownlie was at fault for the Ayr goal, but that is to miss the big picture in that AYR completely outplayed us from minute 20 to 85. I couldn't work out if it was deliberate on our part, or a bit of tactical nous by Ayr. We did look knackered too for some reason. Important to say though that the team form in last 10 games has been excellent, so maybe just a blip....

So the games next week look tasty. Ayr at home to QP. ICT at home to Dundee. Twists and turns still to come.
-
Only played for first 15 and last 5. Poor today. Play offs not guaranteed

Raith would need to win by 10 goals for Dundee to be behind QP.
Ah. Get what you were alluding to now lol.

Stranger things have happened, but if that happened, I think there would be calls for a match fixing investigation.
I doubt it. Results have been close between the two teams and raith beat them in the challenge Cup a few months back.
-
The odds are in favour of Dundee winning this game, but given the unpredictable nature of this league I'm hoping raith might come up with a result. If they do it really does set up a helluva finish.
-
Dundee still have to play Morton, ICT and QP on the last day. I'm thinking this is going down to the last day....

Season tickets are well ahead of schedule, plus the TJF inputs a pretty good story I'd say. Whether it's enough to balance the mess left by the previous board is unknown, but I hope so.
