I thought it was a desperate signing and if he keeps up anywhere close to his current scoring record I will happily be very very embarrassed.

All respect to Annan but an absolute must win game if we’re at all serious about automatic promotion. No excuses left

Will give you Kelly but Neilson was pretty good when he was here imo despite being very young

Quite enjoyed that Mcglynn interview

We can argue until the cows come home about the merits of Nesbitt Mcginn etc and the length of deals but the argument is effectively over for Mcglynn supporters when you note we paid for money and gave a 3 year contract to a guy who doesn’t play and who won’t play because he doesn’t fit the one system Mcglynn likes to play. A complete shocker.

Accies 300? Wow. In fairness, I'm just stocking up with ammo for when it all goes tits up and we don't get out this league again.

2.5k season tickets, quite ridiculous really. We are all mugs. Crowdwank question. How many STs have the other 9 clubs in L1 combined sold?

Rough having first 3 games out of 4 away, but ideal to start at home v Annan. 3 points an absolute must. May not be a bad time to get cove away too - we caught them cold a couple of seasons ago when we had about 6 out with Covid and should’ve won. 6/6 points, that’s the expectation.

My 11 if fit. Hogarth Yeats McKay Lang Mccann Spencer Henderson Agyeman Miller Morrison Maciver Thats well short of a title winning team. We need a RB for the sake of the defence and for the fact Yeats is incredibly useful in midfield and it would free him up. Gotten to the stage where if Michael Doyle is fit again after the pre season injury I’d take him in a heartbeat. Mcginn can be used VERY sparingly. Lawal and Oliver can be “game changers” as I feel both offer value from the bench. If Nesbitt is fit he can also be slotted for one of the middle 3 depending on form. Allan can never ever ever ever ever play up front on his own. It’s actually embarrassing that Mcglynn thinks we get any change out of that. It doesn’t fucking work. Donaldson is a consistent part of a team that hasn’t kept a clean sheet in THIRTEEN attempts. Time for a benching even though McKay gives me the fear.

I can’t fathom how Mcginn passed any of the arduous fitness tests at the start of the season. He looks like Cammy Bell when we signed him.

Pressure really ramping up now. 13 without a clean sheet in competitive games I believe? Really not sure if Mcglynn and the current players have it in them to do enough in the first quarter to save Mcglynn.

Carbon copy of a lot of the goals Airdrie scored in the playoff. Players with the ability to bypass our midfield and seems we haven't learned. Hopefully Spencer is enough to sort that out.

Is it Peter Della Penna? May be wrong but think he's American and was defo doing some commentary earlier in the tournament. He's a muppet, remember a huge twitter rant he did about how England complaining about mankads could be attributed back to their colonial past

There's been more games in the last year or so where I have heard a Norrie chant than I haven't (especially away). Isn't just 13 year olds either. Tragic stuff

I think the frustration comes from the fact we’ve persisted with McKay for 2 seasons now and he’s played more than enough games at CB and now RB for us to know when push comes to shove he’s nowhere near good enough. I’m disappointed he’s as close to the first team as he currently is - that’s again on Mcglynn.

Lang has been quality and was his only error tonight. If only he didn’t have to play alongside a complete diddy.

Think he’s banking on the rest of the league being pish and scuffing through (like he did with Raith v us). We certainly won’t be pulling a Dunfermline.

Really really poor performance overall and nowhere near the standards a few of these players should be aiming for. With what was riding on it (at least 60k plus) another abject failure given how poor DU were. Where to start? The goal I guess. Lang is a very good defender and he’s made a slight mistake there. Long slipped so that didn’t help. 3 goals conceded in 3 games (out of our 4 conceded overall) that are consequences of our “playing style “ - completely pathetic and the fault lies with Mcglynn. Agyeman was atrocious and cemented my reasoning for believing he’s maybe not a good purchase at all. These are the only sort of games this season he may be effective - space in behind and time running onto the ball. He must’ve given it away 10 out of 10 times Morrison a shadow of himself. He seems to have gone from selfish (sometimes rightly so) to selfless. Hit the byline and ineffective cross, rinse and repeat. That won’t do for someone who I’ve regarded as very influential for us for a while now. Yeats had a cracking game and showed some of our others up. Lawal dropped a 1/10 before being rightfully subbed off. Oliver 3/10 Mciver 6/10 because he fed off scraps like we all thought he might when we persisted with 1 up top. Not good enough, again In isolation you could maybe take some positives but it just looked far too much like performances of last year that were found to be nowhere near good enough. Saturday now a dead rubber and extreme pressure placed on the first league games - anything like tonight and Mcglynn won’t be here long.

Hmmmm, that sounds a tad closed shop to me. It takes tournaments like these for these nations to ever play anyone better - friendlies are uncommon. Lets not forget Jersey were very much in the fight v us, as were Italy v Ireland in game 1 - it hasn't all been one way traffic.

Well obviously, not sure what that has to do with the allocation of teams in this qualifying tournament though!

I'm not sure what you want the ICC to do? Not like there's a host of European nations better at cricket than what we're playing. The T20 has slots to fill and this has been a great fun way of doing it.

How bad is the Iplayer coverage? Even when it isn't stuttering the production is awful, constantly missing balls due to graphics overlaying and cameramen not following the ball. They have enough resources there as sometimes the cut is to yet another camera angle we haven't seen yet! A bunch of uni students could do better. Commentators fairly terrible too, always getting the names of on strike batters wrong because the graphic is behind. Most obvious was yesterday when they somehow got mixed up between Hairs and Mcmullen despite one weighing about 7 stone more than the other.

I don’t like to single out posts that are well meaning but this is just utter utter drivel. Agyeman does not go down easily. Watch his goal or 2 or 3 other highlights on the FTV package. If you were there on Saturday it’s actually ridiculous how little he does go down and will frustrate our support this season as he often gets fouled 2 or 3 times before he does go down.

Cemented my dislike of Anton Dowds

Overall obviously happier of the 2 sets of fans, encouraging stuff and felt Thistle treated it as more of a pre season friendly which probably showed. A word for some of the antics at the end outside the away stand. Some strange strange weirdos who seem to follow us away from home looking for fights. And fair play to a Partick (maybe “ultra”?) who told some of our freaks to calm down given a lot of their lads were 13 years old - seemed to diffuse the situation. Embarrassing.
