The movement from the "3rd rate legend" at the goal was first rate. 

My head is gone and we've only reached half-time. Hope is a terrible thing. 

I’ve never quite understood the disrespect shown to big BG from some folk - to get 100 goals plus total commitment to all of the other roles he has fulfilled is incredible for a guy we signed at 32.

 Being honest, most of us probably thought we would get his initial 2.5 year contract out of him but he has doubled that already.

Graham and Wilson got their tactics spot on last night, team chased everything, battled for everything and showed real character, especially with a bare bones squad.

Not a bad performance from any players in the team.

Some real standouts in Stanway, Crawford, McBeth, Graham and young Jamie Low.

Play with that attitude and desire and we should fear no one.

The only thing for me that has him behind Doolan in terms of achievement is that over half Doolan's goals came in a top flight Thistle side. I think he was on 51 when we went up. 

Things to remember about Graham's achievement. They came in a season that was halted (19/20) and a much shortened one (20/21). 

It's an outstanding achievement. 

Despite how he may approach the game on the pitch I rate him as one of the top guys, for a number of reasons , I've known in my time in and around Thistle. I can't speak highly enough of him. 

I thought he sounded quite emotional in his Jagszone interview after last night's game.

What a fantastic performance - i didnt see it coming. No failures- it was brilliant. 
 

amazing from BBG, true jags legend - if you can’t see that, i can’t help you. Never thought we’d see someone else hit 100 goals after doolan, and here we are ten years later and its happened again. 
 

cabt compare the 2, as mentioned above, a lot of dools goals came in permier league, often playing up front himself. But he played with much better players that graham has, and also took way longer to do it, what a great but pointless debate to have, they are both legends and im so happy i got to see both their careers

I consider myself lucky in that my time supporting the Jags I have now seen 2 of our top 10 all time scorers in action.

The Doolan v Graham debate is an interesting one but just glad they were scoring for us (I wonder if Brian thinks he can pass Doolan's total with a good final season).

A bit unfair in the Herald that McBeth's ball to Graham in the build up to the winner was described as a "hoof up the park". You can clearly see him signal to Graham where he's going to put it and lands it perfectly. He was brilliant again last night, the big man has been a brilliant find.

With so many accolades that can be handed out it's almost unfair to single anyone out. But to get 90 productive minutes out of a 17 year old is incredible. Needs must and I'm less surprised Young Low had to play the full match, but to be still producing the goods for the entirety is exceptional. Of course, at the other end of the age scale, much the same can be said of a certain 37 year old.

My take on Low was that you could see that  he had been well coached. Credit to Mark Wilson & Craig Dargo. Hopefully some other Academy graduates can seamlessly adapt to first team football.

By my count we had 5 last night who played for most of the match, and could be called “home grown” as they made their senior debut with the Jags. Low, Stanway, McKenzie, Bannigan and Fitzpatrick.

Very pleasantly surprised about the effort & fight we showed last night. Low is quite a find, I hope we can hang onto him. 

If you read the Greenock telegraph article we actively scouted him believing he had real potential.

I have lost count of how many times we have had set pieces in the last minutes of games and wasted them, but the free kick by Turner in the last minute against Falkirk that set up our last second winner and last night's one from McBeth were perfectly placed.

Turner was also in the Youth system for a point
