Absolute shite-the-bed job from the ref there to give a free kick to Thistle when Afolabi was fouled but stayed on his feet. We were horrendous in that first half and Thistle really should have scored at some point. Gordon was in a great position to put in a decent ball about 20 times but rarely did so. We offered f**k all, with long, aimless punts to Afolabi and McGill who offered little. Dom Thomas was our only little bit of quality in the first half. Got to give credit to Crawford for making changes in the second half, and we were much more structured and playing to the players’ strengths. I still don’t understand the reasoning for playing Murray at left back and Martin at centre half, though.

Didn’t look like a penalty tbh.

‘Keeper impeded by his own defender and the referee gives a feee kick to Queens

That looked over the line.

2 months ago I’d have been all for that but Turner’s coming on to a game now and the general consensus was that the reason for his shite performances was because he was being given an inconsistent role. If he’s starting to play well now I’d be cautious of chucking him about again, even though I think that role in behind the striker might be his best.

Feel like this is my 49th Pars v Queens game in the last 14 years or so. I’d be surprised if there’s a fixture I’ve seen more than this one.

That makes perfect sense IMO.

Happy with a point away from home tbh. Will be hoping for all 3 on Saturday and a bit of fortune for the other results. When would be the last time that 4/5 midweek fixtures in this division ended goalless?

Ashcroft “down and unable to continue.”

Linn on. 1-0 Arbroath incoming.

Tbf I have faith in Afolabi as an individual to do a job. McGill has also grabbed himself a goal by being in the right place at the right time, hopefully they’ll get stuck in and we can get by without Nisbet tonight.

That announcement was up there with the one at the Falkirk Stadium on the opening day in 2010/11. “This is an announcement for mr John Smith; please return home as your wife is locked out of the house without a key.”

Aye it was a shame. I generally don’t have any bitter feelings towards AJ but it sounded as though he handled that one very poorly. I hope it hasn’t soured wee Falky’s memories of the club.

Aye. An absolute, heads-gone meltdown. IIRC he wasn’t even playing, I’m sure he was in the stands or at best an unused sub.

That used to flood my basement, what a fucking boy.

Even better results for the bookies.

That’s surprising. Are Killie more or less seeing out his contract as a loanee at other clubs to save a bit on wages?

Thomas will more than likely return to Kilmarnock in the summer and stay put. Afolabi is still a long way away from being in Celtic’s first team so he’ll either be released or sent out on loan again. Absolutely no inside information of either of those but they seem like the most likely scenarios.

Aye.

What a fucking ball from Turner for the first goal, and great desire to win the ball in the lead up to the second. Hopefully he’s turning a corner now.

Let’s not get carried away here, we’re still pish.

You’ve no idea how many bites you’re gonna get with this. Can’t wait.

I hope not. The poor c**t’s only got one hand.
