  1. With Dunfermline winning last night we now have another rival for a play-off place. We need to find our mojo and quickly. I agree we need to stick with the team and the manager and give all the support we can. We are after all a special bred - we are Jags!!
  2. Not much I can add, in terns of how we play and the signings we have made, to what has been already stated in this thread. I can say that I have never thought we were a 'stick on' for a play-off place. A team that loses almost as many goals as it scores can never be trusted to achieve great things. When you consider that the majority of the goals we lose are very soft and are similar there are clearly deep seated issues to be addressed. We have also been unlucky with the timing of injuries but so have other clubs, for example, Morton. At the moment Morton and Airdrie look better play-off prospects. We really need to find a win and Saturday v Morton would be a good place to start.
  3. Just see the highlights which gave a fuller view of the goal. I agree Graham was offside when the ball was played through. We got away with one there - which was nice to see. However turning to the penalty. IMO the ref got this correct. Wilson did have his hands behind his back but as he went towards the Jags player to block the shot he turned away from the ball to protect himself andcas he did do his right arm spun out away from his body. A vlear hand ball and penalty. Callum Davidson has a point about our first goal but with regard to the second he is talking a lot of nonsence. I would bet if it was a Jag who handled the ball he would have wanted a penalty. I thought QP were a bit on the dirty side, like Morton, but was glad to see that we stood up to that and put in a few hefty challenges ourselves.
  4. Just looked at Camallain's video of Adeloye's goal. Certainly both Graham and Adeloye move beyond the QP defence after the free kick is taken - so not offside at that point. When Grahem eventually gets possession of the ball and pkays it across goal to Adeloye he is played onside by I think 2 QP players and there is no doubt Addloye is onside as he has a QP Player in front and goal side of hime when he moves forward to head the ball into the net! Soil think the assistant referee go it right. There was no offside. Also agree we have had many poor decisions against us particularly since the resumption of football following the covid lockdown!
  5. Callum Davidson, in his post-match comments, is very critical of the referee. He is saying Graham was offside at the first goal and for the penalty his defender had his hands behind his back. In summary the Ref's decisions cost QP the game. Thoughts anyone.
  6. Agree that we should be looking to win this game and in fact every game until the end of the season - including play off games if we get that far. Draws are absolutely no use to us now! Having said the above I have to admit I have no idea about the level of performance this Thistle team will produce! Fingers crossed for a win.
  7. Just watched the highlights and was very surprised at our performance. IMO we gave Celtic 4 goals. I can't imagine Grahem would have been very happy with his goalkeeper or the defence. They were very poor and gave away 'easy goals'. Also few players looked slow and out of sorts - very leggy. I was wondering if we has some illness or injuries in the squad and consequently had to play players who were not fully fit. A very strange performance from the team!
  8. Would like another goal or two. DU will bring on Watt and he generally scores against us!
  9. Graham in 3 mins. Has the ref disallowed the goal yet for offside. No! Oh well there goes my prediction of 0-4 DU
  10. Totally surprised by this team selection. Any guesses on the formation. Are we going 4-4-1-1, or 3-5-1-1, or 5-3-1-1 or any other formation.
  11. I'd play Williams and Neilson in central defence with Graham and Adeloye up front. Also Mitchell back in goal. Williams offers a greater physical presence than Muirhead and playing 2 up front would require DU to keep 3 defenders back. I'm not sure Williams has the savy to cope with Watt or Moult but can he be any worse than than recent defensive performances. My team would be: Mitchell McMillan, Williams, Neilson. Milne Stanway, Robinson, Mc Beth, Fitpatrick Graham, Adeloye. Stanway and McBeth can provide the ball winning and stopping the opposition playing attributes we so badly need. Lawless and Diack could come on from the bench, if needed. I wouldn't let Alston anywhere near a Jags Jersey though Bannigan and McInroy are still capable of having their 'moments' albeit they are becoming fewer. I know this post is a waste of time as Doolan won't endorse any of the above. 0-4 DU with Watt, Docherty, Holt and Fotheringham scoring.
  12. It would be a glass of red wine or Belhaven Best. I used to smoke when I was about 15yrs but gave it up after 1 fag!
  13. I am too old to be bothered about this or that tranche. As long as the future of the club is not threatened I am happy to let those who know about these matters get on with it. I think there are sufficient numbers of people involved who love the club and have its best interest at heart. To the Pars game. I am expecting an Ayr United and Queens Park night. By thos I mean we start on the front foot, stay on the front foot, play outstanding attacking football and hammer the Pars by 4/5 goals. In other words a good night for Jags fans. Oh, and of course gat 3 points.
  14. I understand that "acting on intelligence" actually means that Celtic received intelligence that their 'green brigade' intended to attend Sundays game in big numbers and to be as intimidating as they could including a pitch invasion if the game was going against them. This led to a meeting with the two clubs and the Police to discuss what to do. The result was to ban all Celtic supporters fron this game. I don't know if anyone from the SPL/SFA/SWPL attended but would be surprised if there wasn't some representation there. Taking into account the safety of the players and club officials, game officials, and all fans who would be there to support their teams it's difficult to see what other outcome could be reached. The real problem is that Celtic have been unable to deal with the 'green brigade' problem. I hope they can do so soon otherwise we may end up with a rival 'blue brigade'!
