What's stopping the top half of the league completing normally? In that instance PPG positions in the top half are just the final league positions.

Therefore I feel I can ask a question, without guilt, of any fan who did watch tonight's stream. My question is - was fitness a problem tonight the way it appeared to be in the last 30 minutes v Airdrie? Fitness wasn't an issue. I thought cove played better than us, but we still looked dangerous when we got forward. I do think we need to freshen it up on Thursday as much we can. Difficult to say how decent Falkirk will be. They have to go for it so may suit us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we will see a radically different starting 11 on Thursday. If Bannigan is fit he will come in and we will revert to the 11 who started against Dumbarton If Bannigan is not fit then tonights starting 11 will probably get the nod with a question over who is preffered between Murray and Cardle. I think the aches and pains of so many games start to fade when you realise you could be one win away from the title. Who wouldn't want to play in the game that could win the league? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milhouse Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Battled all the way to the end tonight and could have won it - after 5 straight league wins. 2 games left for us with a 4 point lead at the top - we have given ourselves a fantastic opportunity. Let's get the job done on Thursday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way Airdrie can not still have a chance of winning the title before Saturday is if we beat Falkirk. If the worst happens and we got beat by Falkirk then Aidrie would be back in with a slim chance of winning the title. Aidrie play Cove on Saturday so won't be mathematically out of the title race until after that game if either they lose to Cove or Falkirk beat Montrose. Montrose play Cove on Thursday and Falkirk on Saturday. They need to get points from those games and for Montrose there is no point in resting players until its mathematically impossible to make top 4. Technically 6 points from the last 9 could be enough. So I think the earliest that Montrose might not be up for games is after they play Cove on Thursday and Falkirk on Saturday. So either we win the league on Thursday or Cove and Falkirk still need to play full strength Montrose and Airdrie teams. I was going to post something like this but no need as this says it all. For the record previous fixtures show: - Montrose do well against Cove (2 wins) but not so well against Falkirk (2 defeats) - Airdrie on the other hand do well against Falkirk (2 wins) but not against Cove (draw & defeat) So there is still help there for us if we need it. Better if we just thump Falkirk on Thursday. Hope Graham (off injured tonight), Bannigan and Docherty are all fit to play. BTW we are now unbeaten since football resumed 6 wins and 4 draws - not bad!

They were so much stronger than us, pushing us off the ball. Dissapointed that we have still failed to beat Cove this season. A Highland league team 18 months ago, basically a team of part-timers, and again with our large squad of full-time players we struggle against them. Why doesn't that change?

madcapmilkdrinker Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Some finish from Tiffony and great to see the maniacal reaction from those on the bench. Seen the push in the build up given plenty of times, so maybe that's one decision that did go our way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 From the highlights: some good football by both sides; with a bit of better luck we'd have sneaked the win near the end. To be fair to Sneddon, the shot for Cove's second goal was swerving wickedly, and he had a few important saves earlier. With Rudden and Tiffoney we are looking dangerous (not just looking; we are) in attack. Bring on the Bairns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know an Airdrie supporter and he thinks their manager (Murray) should be sacked and the team is poor and will be as long as he is the manager. Strange game just proves no matter what you do - 1 defeat in 6- you can't please everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrybriscoe Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 How enjoyable this season would have been if our form in the last 6 games had been there from game one. Great desire to win last night from our guys and I thought they had snatched it right at the end. Only black marks were giving away a totally unneccesary penalty and a shocking pass from Gordon that could have easily led to a goal for Cove. I'm concerned that we might struggle to match Falkirk tomorrow night after such a demanding 90 mins. Hopefully karma will we see that the injustice of last season is nullified when we lose to Falkirk but win our final match at Montrose to end up as champions.

Anniesland Jag Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Loving the passion and camaraderie of this team which should see us gasping over the line ...also got a kick out of Radio Scotland commentator last night apologising for Bunter’s “floral” outbursts which earned him another yellow at the end .

Muscat Jag Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Just watched the 2nd half on Jagzone. For some reason the first isn't available. Thought I was going to be physically sick at some points. This is seriously not good for my nerves. After almost taking the lead at the start of the half we really fell away, looked like we were trying to hold out for a point. Sneddon has to do better with their second. I don't care how much it was swerving, it was in the air long enough for him to respond. In fairness though, apart from the goal, he did well. Very pleased with the response to going behind, so nearly won it at the end. Great strike by Tiffoney and Penrice so unlucky when he rattled one of the post. Honestly couldn't tell if the injury time effort crossed the line. Touch and go, decision had to be down to the linesman. Watched the highlights also, what a stupid penalty to concede. Absolutely criminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to be too much a cynic to point out that tennis players, unlike footballers, won't earn money if they don't play. But that's elite sport. I can't say I know enough about tennis to know what level would compare with Scottish Football. And not knowing that I can't really say anything about comparative levels of fitness.

stillresigned Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I thought we played reasonably well last night. I never felt that we were in real danger of defeat as I watched the match. Well, apart from when they went ahead. Which, personally I would put down to a goalkeeping error. Thought, we responded very well to going behind and if any side was going to win the match it was Thistle. I’ve no idea how Falkirk will be, but based on what I’ve seen of late I’m confident we’ll win on Thursday evening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
