R.I.P.
Much too young!

Will be wearing this for tomorrow's game at Kirkcaldy.

Great read!
Would love BBG to keep banging them in all the way to the Premiership.

Time to give Zander some consecutive starts.

I was wondering what a Hogan was, thinking that it might be own goals by Jags players!
Not that I'm aware of any OG's by Joe in his 12-year spell at Thistle, his only senior club.

Bad news for Stevie and for us.
Got to make the best of what we have; here's hoping that the players and coaches can produce some positives out of this, and that we supporters will give them even more encouragement.
Here's hoping for a full recovery for Stevie, who's been great for us.

Eddie Prudham: the best short-term loanee we never got to keep!

Not a bad point, all things considered.
Just a shame that we are not very good at killing teams off after we open the scoring, or seeing a game out without conceding. Still, losing a goal only to a soft penalty isn't bad. Sounds like overall the team put in a good shift.

Hmm,
Donnie McK with the head of Jackie Campbell partly hidden.
Not sure of the other; a long-haired Jimmy Bone?

This week and last week, not so many new posts on any topic.
Is that because most people expect us just to qualify for the playoffs (again) and then fail to win promotion (again)? Or is there some other reason?
Of course, people may have lives outwith the forum!
I don't (well, not so much!).

For sale at McTears Auctions....
Estimated price: 50 to 80 quid!
Why doesn't somebody make a batch of them? They would surely sell (though not at that price!)

Hitting on partly why Doolan doesn't change things about that much. If any of the three came on as subs (especially the wide two) it would also entail a forced change of formation.
I don't think there's necessarily no depth to the squad, relative to other clubs in the division. Where we are lacking is in like for like replacements down the flanks. Apart from having no one to cover (do a similar job) for Lawless and/or Fitzpatrick those two are weakened if Milne or McMillan don't play. Over the piece our strength has been in our width but that also exposes a weakness of having had to rely on those four players.
Encouragingly tho' we're seeing signs improvement thru the middle mainly down to having plugged the defensive gap somewhat and thus allowing Robinson in particular to get further forward.
Question: Is like for like replacements what we want when one or more subs is required? If so, then the implication seems to be that no changes in approach are to be expected, just more of the same, with slightly fresher legs. Doesn't that usually fail (at least for us), and lead to more criticisms of the manager? On many occasions (usually those where subs have failed to make any real impression, or they've come on ridiculously late) supporters have lambasted the manager for just continuing to plough the same unproductive furrow, having simply replaced one ox with another (my own simile!).
Of course there are also cases where changing the entire balance and solidity of the team due to substitutions has also resulted in catastrophe (look no further than Thistle).
I guess the question is: Is it better to try new things with subs, or to stick with the same approach, hoping for fresh legs and new motivation leading to a positive outcome? Actually, I'm sure there are examples of failures and successes for both.

Just after 8 minutes here. https://eftv.info/highlights-2023-24/
Those highlights were entertaining throughout.

Ineptitude characterized most of the Thistle players. Basic ball control, passing, closing down, crossing (Fitzpatrick balloons his crosses over everybody's head every week!), it was awful, dreadful stuff to watch. Incapable of keeping possession of the ball against 10 men, yet all too willing to hit horizontal and backwards passes to each in other in our half for minutes on end before their red card. Neilsen had an absolute nightmare of a match. Great shot by Stanway and follow-up by Robinson for the goal, and Mitchell didn't do anything wrong throughout.
But it was truly dire stuff to watch,
which makes it a great win!😀
ETA: For me, Lawal of ICT was easily the best player on the park. Would like to see him in our squad.

Wasn't Slim Pickins one half of a duo with Fat Burns?
Old school joke:
A: D'ye know Baldy Woods?
B: Naw.
A: D'ye know Fat Burns?
B: Naw
A: Well, it dis!

For those that follow the team can you explain why we don't have our own keeper? I read that our normal 1st choice is on loan from Rangers & she can't play, so we've taken a goalie from Celtic on an emergency 7 day loan and she will play. That seems a crazy situation
That would make our victory even sweeter!

This deserves a match thread.
No reason to think we can't win this. Robbed by a dubious refereeing in the last league game.
Good luck to all involved. I'm getting the big cup final nerves already.
We should be prepared for similar dubious officiating.

Today's match at Tynecastle is not even listed on the Brit B*******ting Corp's list of Today's Fixtures.
Of course, English women's matches are there.
Nuff said.

Another trivial contribution: I remember checking years ago (why? probably bored) and finding that the most common surname of all the players who have ever played for thistle is:...............................................................................
Gibson.
Thank you.

Arbroath is probably the best away day in the division by a fair bit. Something for everyone. From some decentvpubs, to smokies and Pleasurekand for the weans, old and young.
Not to mention the year-round mild and pleasant weather. I should think that t-shirts and shorts will be all you need to wear in the little tropical paradise of Gayfield this afternoon.

As a kid I was crestfallen but proud when my jags' heroes such as sandy brown, Dougie baird, Tommy gibb and Andy kerr all moved to the English first division. I thought that they were great players and it was nice to know someone else thought the same.
I vaguely remember being disappointed when Joe McBride left, though I was really too young to take it in. But Tommy Gibb, yes, for me that was the real first heart-sinking loss. He was some player, and I always wondered why he never got to play for Scotland.
