Do we have a player called Loney, or are things so bad, we have had to bring in an emergency loan player for the bench?

We're saving that up for the two-legger

The other teams also play Dundee Utd and Raith and each other. Pretty sure a draw v Airdrie and win v Ayr will leave us 3rd.

Let's go Jags.

2 draws and a win for 3rd. Would take a draw today as never an easy place to go.

I'm sure we want to win in style and for it to be an enjoyable watch but it's been a pretty good March. 3 wins from 3 (with one goal conceded), 2 draws (one away after being 2-0 down and one against the League leaders), and an unfortunate loss against Raith, after dominating the game. If it wasn't for our results in February, we'd be pushing for automatic promotion. Finish 3rd and we have a real chance of reaching the play-off final, where as we know, anything can happen. Revenge would be oh so sweet.

That'll do us. Well done Jags.

Thanks FT. Another signed football I'll never get to see.

Haven't had the chance to read the full match thread from Tuesday, but can imagine it didn't make pretty reading. Watched the game on TV and felt we played well and were very unlucky not to win. Similar performances to the end of the season will see us in the play-offs no doubt. After Tuesday, I think we'd take Raith over two legs. They've been riding their luck all season and won't keep it up. Us to beat Ross County in the play-off final. We owe them one after all.

Thought Milne was better than this. The rest of the team doing fine and we could get back in this.

Good to hear. It's easy to feel that players in this particular role aren't doing well every week. Truth is, it's difficult to be on the front foot and creating and scoring chances every week and if they play an easy ball, it seems they are passing the buck. It's a bit of a thankless task, unless you are at the level of R7 and they are one per generation. Fitzpatrick might blow hot and cold but that's the nature of that style of player, rather than fitness or a lack of trying. I think we would be less of a team without him.

Looked as if Lawless was holding his arm on Friday, so thinking maybe took a knock on it. Nothing too serious I hope, as we need him.

Looking forward to this and a chance to use my season ticket for the first time ever (3 seasons). There's something special about a night game and I'm sure the Jags will turn up and give us plenty to cheer. P.S. Decided it's not too early to start the thread, as the game's on a Friday

A certain ref might make an appearance 😬🤑. Other than that, nothing. This team is more than capable of going on a good run.

Interesting also, that the ref doesn't blow the whistle until the Thistle player strikes the ball. Maybe he was allowing Rangers an advantage deep in their own penalty box up until that point. Makes sense if you're one of them I'm sure.
