Please let the game be off next week, and is rescheduled for ibrox. Dundee get the home dressing room, hang a Dundee flag over the portrait of the King. And then pump them. If that happens, I might start to believe is some form of deity or high power.

That statement accusing Dundee of negiligence and disrespect must come close to bringing the game into disrupte. Give rangers a points deduction. It's the only thing that will teach them. Meantime, cry more rangers.

"Several people are typing", apparently. Even more are laughing. That statement from rangers. Cry more rangers please. Dundee and their disrespectful drainage system.

As an outsider, both in terms of the fixture and sadly the title race, this makes no sense. If it were a safety thing then why not just come out and say; "Sadly due to safety issues/police advice, we have reluctantly had to reduce the capacity of the away end. We apologise to the fans of Raith Rovers". Dealt with.

Sorry, you've ceased to be entertaining . Now away and jump into your white van, throw your copy of The S*n into the back seats and skeddaddle.

I can see a remake of West Side Story coming. Instead of Sharks v Jets it's Open Goal v The Terrace. Sold out Hydro multiple nights as Ferrie and Fowler reprise the roles of Riff and Bernardo. Or maybe not.

Or at the very least a patreon Pod.

Is it snobbery to think it shite? That just an opinion based on personal tastes surely.

So 9 pages in we've reach the conclusion that both OG and AVFTT have their place, and feel free to listen to whatever takes your fancy? That was a swell read.

If I go a few days without shaving, and have a bit of stuble does that make me aspiratioinally middle class? Over Christmas and New Year I must be solid middle class. Got a job interview, strict university of life, school of hard knocks working class. Right now, middle class but worrying about rising interest rates.

Yes, cause having to say you aren't raging is clearly an indication of calmness. I'll continue to go on for as long as you continue to give me giggles.

Tuesday morning after a Saturday game and still raging.

I really wish we'd moved the boards back to their original positions in the half we were attacking in the second half. The Greenock seethe would have been just delicious.

We did. It was amusing at the time. That you are still raging on the Monday makes it even funnier. Please don't stop.

It's very funny. And the reaction from Morton fans is keeping the chuckles going.

The referee and his assistants checked the positioning of the boards after Imrie and Millen had a wee chat with them about it. There was plenty of room to take a throw in.

I guess speed isn't everything. Limping to the title I would imagine is prefable to hurtling towards the Lowland League.

Problem is if we change shape to try address the all to clear problems we have, then you are inevitably going to blunt the attacking aspects of the time. Given the lack of options to simply change personnel and I'm assuming that O'Reilly isn't fit (Williams for Muirhead? Mitchell for Stewart? McBeth I'm told can play centre back) then I think we do need to change shape in some way. Five at the back with additional centre half? If you do that, how do you Fitzpatrick into the starting eleven. I think,to some extent, we got away with how poor we were at the back in first months of the season. We're not getting away with it now that's for sure.

The two views are equally true. Can't deny the poor defending that presented the chances that were taken.

I'm still angry over Graham’s disallowed equaliser, but I really don't want to be. It detracts from the fundamental flaw in our team. We simply can't defend. We gave Inverness three goals last weekend, Livingston three the game before that . And we gave Dunfermline three goals last night. How often does a team win a football match when chucking three in the net? The division's leading scorer. Loads of good attacking options but a defence that simply can't stop leaking cheap goals. Can't really see how it can be addressed before the summer.

Random pic posted not in any way just to annoy anyone who talks about "woke pish".

When Tynecastle was announced as the venue when the semi-finals were drawn in mid November the date given was March 23rd OR March 24th. Staging the game on the second of those dates, the traditional day for women's football in Scotland, which will maximise attendance seems significantly more 'sensible' than playing it in direct competition to one of the participants Men's team. IMO the date should have been left as tbc until the two finalists were confirmed and then the most suitable date and kick-off time could be set. The potential clash would still be a huge issue even if Brian Graham wasn't the PTWFC manager.

Well that would be a choice that each individual would need to make. I'll be at the Cup Final irrespective of date as that is more important to me. Others may be different. The point that you've either missed, or chosen to miss, is that if there is no clash then nobody has to make the choice between the two games thus maximising the attendance at both games.

The issue of the availbility of our manager, players, backroom staff and media team is a significant one to us. Personally I would be devestated after having contributed so much to the development of Partick Thistle WFC if Brian wasn't able to lead his players out at the Cup Final in March. There is a wider issue though. There were over 600 at the semi-final on Sunday, with just under 100 Hibs fans, for a fixture played during a weather warning. When we reached the semi-final of the Scottish Cup a couple of seasons back the two games were played back to back on the same Sunday afternoon at the Falkirk Stadium. The four competiting teams were Hearts, Celtic, Glasgow City and Partick Thistle. Of the four the team with the biggest support was Thistle, and significantly bigger. Interest in PTWFC has never been greater. If no clash then it would be a major shock if there wasn't a big Thistle support at the Final at Tynecastle. A big, noisy Thistle support at the Sky Sports Cup Final would greatly enhance a showcase event for the women's game in Scotland played live on TV. A sparsely filled Thistle section would not. It would devalue the spectacle. That does the women's game in Scotland no good at all. When the SWPL confirmed the venue for the Final as being Tynecastle back in November they listed the date as either Saturday March 23rd OR Sunday March 24th. Moving this game to the Sunday, the traditional day for football in the women's game in Scotland, would maximise attendance and enhance the overall occasion. I'm, cautiously, optmistic that with all stakeholders working together that there will be a satisfactory resolution to this issue.
