  1. Apart from today and last weekend, when if at all have the surnames of the Thistle goalkeeper and the entire back line all begun with the same letter (Mitchell, McMillan, Muirhead, McBeth, Milne)? What’s the highest number of Thistle players with the same first letter of surname to have been on the park at the same time? And what was the narrowest alphabetical spread of any Thistle starting XI (eg today’s was F(itzpatrick) to R(obinson) but had an astonishing 8 players across consecutive letters LMN)?
  2. Only two teams have ever finished second bottom in the second tier of Scottish football on more than 39 points. We are already on 40 points. Bad as the last few weeks have been, we really would be setting new trends to be a relegation risk this year.
  3. That was genuinely painful viewing from start to finish. This run is grim.
  4. Hampden is a terrible place to watch a second tier football match. G4S are a consistently rubbish organisation.
  5. Raith Rovers: living off advances for working capital, directors' loans and even selling off their floodlights Dunfermline: £1 million loss and a tricky going concern statement Queens' Park: lost £750k over an 18 month (extended) accounting period, despite this (mostly) not involving the lion's share of the Lesser Hampden redevelopment costs. Being propped-up by, among other things, the multi-million cash proceeds accrued from selling Proper Hampden.
  6. Neilson ultimately to blame for the goal by failing to clear, but he looks much more comfortable in the defensive mid berth than at left centre back. Think we also learned today that it’s more important for Wasiri to be at right centre back than for Muirhead to be. Scott Robinson was decent too. Folk were worried that with this line up we’d be overrun in midfield but it was anything but. Tired a bit late on but much optimism. Also Dundee United are an incredibly dirty team.
  7. Really good performance today and much more assured in defence. Excellent performances from Mitchell and Wasiri especially. We’re going to be fine. Doolan is learning.
  8. I hear Douglas Noble once said that Earth's atmosphere contains oxygen, so I'm now roaming Alexandria wearing diving apparatus.
  9. Gerry Britton was also there as Chief Executive. Are you suggesting that he and Smillie fraudulently misrepresented the decisions of the Club Board to its incoming directors? Are you absolutely sure this is the road you want to go down, Jim?
  10. Taking a screenshot of this for posterity!
  11. That's a judgment call for the Club Board. Personally, I would not (speaking purely as a fan) support the dismissal of Doolan if we narrowly missed out on the play-offs this season. He's a young manager and deserves time and resources to get it right. I have less patience for a manager who failed to salvage our place in the Championship when brought in in 2019, had more than a full season to establish his preferred squad, and had us losing to part-time football teams and losing momentum. Is the loss of momentum in recent games concerning? Absolutely. Are Doolan's and McCall's positions remotely comparable? Absolutely not.
  12. Yes you are. Here's the direct quote in the Club statement, in full: You're just making stuff up. I keep receipts, Jim.
  13. They typically have a very modest impact (less than the impact of, for example, finishing 2nd instead of 3rd) because a significant proportion of ticket revenue goes directly to the SPFL and most Clubs' bonus structures pay out more to players depending on performances in the play-offs themselves.
