Even a win (well, we always do).

Looking forward to reading this.

Nobody seems to have commented on the attendance on Tuesday night. Just over 1,900, which is of course smaller than we'd like. However, I've no doubt that the horrendous rain in Glasgow all day dissuaded hundreds of people from going to the match, many even believing that the game would be called off. (I have relatives who did exactly that.) Having said that, the pitch looked brilliant, almost unbelievable, given that we've gotten used to puddles in several parts of the Firhill pitch, and huge soaking clods of turf needing to be forked back into place even after a couple of light showers.

I predict he'll get injured in his first game.

Could have a domino effect.

I also thought McKenzie was able to show a bit more of what he's capable of than in his usual short run-outs. The one player that I thought.... nah, ain't going to criticize after 6 points out of 6 !

A couple of his actions last night also had me thinking "This guy looks good."

Cracker! You could see from his grin that he was happy with that, as were we!

From that position and the flight of the ball, he really did the right thing... went for no power at all (that would probably have sent it over the bar), but just a wee downwards dink... enough to beat the keeper. Nicely done!

Isn't it (supposed to be) a club owned by the fans for the fans.....?

... A touch of dehwing do...

Highlights (from ECTV) now up on Youtube:

Yep, I'd also be happy to see either of them back, especially Holt.

There were a few surprising results (i.e., wins for the underdogs/lower division teams) in yesterdays matches.

It's unbelievable what TTA guys give us. Really too much for any one person to take in, But a truly incredible database of facts, lists, and descriptions. More power to your elbows (or fingertips), guys. All heroes!

Little to disagree with in that.

Am I right in thinking we're around 25% short of the number sold at this time last season? If so, could it be because since then we've lost three legends (KD, BG,SB; four if you include Robert Reid!)? And the repeat of a disappointing end to the play-offs, and a generally poorish season overall? Actually, it seems pretty obvious.

Maybe the idea behind this is to have anybody drinking in the stadium before the game to find it such a dismal and humiliating experience that the authorities will be able to say the scheme was piloted but it proved to be clearly unpopular, hence no demand for it.

A WAT Forum sponsorship? I'll also contribute 20 quid.

M'Lady might be interested to learn that when entered into a Fisher's Exact Test contingency table and the test applied, the difference is indeed statistically significant at p = 0.0032. But whether that fact will prove significant in real life is indeed anybody's [add your own adjective] guess.

Definitely an "exciting" signing. Has a decent pedigree, knows the Championship, which is of course an exciting competition. He's clearly excited to be here. Exciting times ahead!

Looks (h)armless enough.

Excellent!! I generally no longer buy modern strips because of the crappy synthetic materials they're made from (and the nightmarish designs). But this one really might tempt me....

I guess you mean the Friday evening game in Auld Reekie. It would be nice if the PTTV team did a live stream, but they usually don't do it for away matches, especially if the host club has its own pay-to-watch stream. There is ECTV, but I can't find any info about Friday's match.

Can't escape the evidence that there seems to be a large-scale desertion of the women's team. Actually understandable, as it's clear that the previous manager was much appreciated by the players, they had done extremely well in the past few seasons, and that now things are going to look much more difficult, with part-time teams such as PTFCW looking increasingly likely to be the whipping girls this season. There appear to be more clear-cut opportunities for players to realise their footballing ambitions elsewhere. Oops, can I get away with that?
