I'd take the over on 8th and Morton to finish below us.

I guess it depends on whether or not you see 45 minutes of the last 720 as a blip or a trend. We might lose our next game, away from home, but I don't for a minute think we'll go down this season. We're more likely to finish 6th than 10th. I'd be more worried if I was a Morton fan.

Sounds like we had a bad day yesterday. Well, a bad 2nd half. Considering the fact it's our first loss this year, I'm feeling a bit disappointed but not disheartened. I know it's 'fun' to pick everything apart and I guess that's what forums can be for but when I hear Thistle have lost 4-2, having been 2-0 up, I almost chuckle to myself, safe in the knowledge that my old team are back. A cup quarter final, a seven game unbeaten run completely out of the blue and now a 4-2 defeat from an unassailable lead!!!! This is the Thistle I know and love. Hands up, who can't wait for the next game

Wasn't far off Need to get up for a game soon. Nerve wracking watching texts etc. Have a sneaky that this could end up a better season than I imagined.

Can you imagine.....

if I sometimes can't look. I switch on at 4.57, as the game must surely be over by then. Unless it was a game v the OF and we happened to be winning. Would wait until 6.04.

Massive game today. Could be 8 points from a play off place come 4.57p.m.

Sad to be missing this one, as was planning a trip up the road. Will need to be the semi instead!

True but I'm slightly torn, as I always want us to maximise profit. Did really enjoy the Premier League Play-Off a couple of years back when The Rangers expected the whole of the Motorola. The Well gave them the minimum and then hammered them as well. I dream of a day that we do something similar.

We will be away to someone far away or good. Or far away and good. The Rangers and Celtic will be close to home against a team they can easily beat. Dundee Utd away or Rangers / Celtic for us I'm afraid. Hope I'm wrong and we're at home with a chance.

If Ross C, Ayr and Dundee U keep winning, things could get a wee bit exciting before the end of the season. You never know ??

Really doesn't add up. Having said the 3 at the back set up was brutal, I did see that Liverpool were pretty good at it. Their CB's were brave enough to go to aid of the wing-backs however, whilst also staying strong in the middle. Our lot just see it as a chance to hide in a pack in the middle and then bring the wing-backs in to defend as if full-backs. How Lawless stuck it, I'll never know.

Can't believe we're still playing a back 3. Absolutely brutal set up even with good players. No idea why anyone would let the centre backs of any team have an easy life whilst everyone else gets dragged out of position. If we don't have 2 centre backs who can mark 1 centre forward and cover for the other, sack them all.

Have a phone cover too. Very good quality.

Thanks Camallain. Noticed you have a few videos up on You Tube and really liked the GUN ones. I've followed them since the early nineties and was lucky enough to see them down in England a few times back then. Northampton Roadmender was rocking. Had a cracking GUN t-shirt from back in the day with Benny Lynch on the front - if only I could find it Was at the gig at the Barras you were at. Fantastic night

Have watched the goals on many an occasion and is sad news. My Dad, two Uncles and Gran and Granda all went to the game. They have all told me great stories from the game and then back afterwards at the Garscube Road where they lived. I'm lucky enough to have been passed a match ticket from the great occasion and go to Thistle matches with one of my Uncles when I'm up the road. My Dad and other Uncle rarely attend matches now. All are in their seventies.

On the plus side for the home team, the Celtic fans won't have stolen many balls as they're losing.

One of my worst Thistle games was this score v Ayr in the play-off way back. What a crowd as well that day. I'm going 0-0 for this one.

Have a nice photo of Chic with me just before a game at Firhill. Remember once at Firhill his wife Mary (I think), shouting that his boy wanted a pie but hudnae ate his dinner. Was an hilarious exchange between the three of them as Thistle were about to take a throw in. The 'thrower' stopped and waited until they'd finished. 1-0 at the Commonwealth Stadium against Meadowbank when Chic scored a late penalty with the outside of his foot. Keeper didn't move.

I'm smiling a bit reading this and think you maybe just rolled in from The Crow when you wrote it. No doubt he was looking to move to better things, as was touted as a future Scotland pick etc., but no way was he milking it. Every player has their own interests at heart except maybe Diego Simeone Bannigan was always around Firhill doing commentary and other stuff and struck me as a real team player, even when injured. Not many football players would hang around a ground if they were fit to play. As things stand, I'm struggling to think who else could do the job.

Know what you mean. Everyone should be trying to lead by example, so a captain of that type should never be needed. The best captains I can remember were organisers. I can visualise them conducting play and 'offering' positional direction from a central position on the park, to those running around with their heads up their a7ses. They understand what the manager wants and are able to convey that message on the park. They need awareness, drive, commitment and above all else, respect from their team mates. That rules out all of the centre backs, so needs to be one of our central mid players. Sounds like it could be Bannigan, although I'm not sure he has enough drive.

Up in Glasgow that weekend as manged to bag Gerry Cinnamon / Courteeners tickets. Thought we might be in the cup but can see we avoid that round of the draw along with a few other teams. Is there definitely no game or could one be rearranged against another non cup team?

They have a history of attempting to derail us in one way or another. I'm sure they informed the press that we would be losing a couple of players to them, Erskine and Paton, right before our big game versus Morton. Absolutely zero class. Really can't stand them tbh.

Great news. I think Dools plays well when he has competition and also when he plays less games. Real shame we've lost our goal soring CB for the season as we'd really be piecing things together nicely. Hopefully we can sign a central link player in January, who can attach the forward(s) to the rest of the team. Someone exactly like Sean Welsh - so exact in fact that I wish we would just try and sign him back.
