Fuctifano Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Firhill earlier (10% rainwater and 90% tears of Celtic fans who weren't going to the game anyway). Hopefully the extra couple of days break gives some of our injuries a chance to heal and McMillan to recover from whatever problems he's having, though as Osman appears to have a hamstring injury I don't think he'll be around for a few weeks sadly. Higgy suspended too on top of all of that. Weirdly, I always feel more confident playing a team who are coming off the back of a result like United's today, like the Celtic game had it gone ahead we won't be expected to get much. Oh, and Paul Paton is still a c**t. 2-0 United. edit: only kidding, P-P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 The forecast is sunny on Saturday and clear on Sunday so the game should go ahead. Dundee United are good to watch so I might go along. We need Frans to be back or it could be pumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Scrappy 2-1 win for United. 85min+ winner from Connolly. Sir Christopher of Erskine sent off for showboating. Low->Medium levels of seething. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 After handing us our arses (congratulations) I can close my eyes really hard and wish and wish and wish the DAB's loose this one, 2-0 Partick. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Biggest decision Jackie will have to make will be if he lets Paton back into the team (I suspect he will). Also if Morris is fit he should come back in for Watson, although I did think Watson played okay today (he didn't have much to do right enough…) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie's team looks pretty threadbare (I think the Evening Times and Daily Record have licensed that word to the the Rangers to describe its 45 strong playing squad) so, contrary to logic - which never works with Thistle anyway - an upset would be on the cards. I'm hoping for a couple of finely crafted Squiddy own goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really surprised to see Watson nd Dillon playing in their respective positions today, I can only assume it is due to Watson's fitness. Morris should be back in s soon as he is fit.

Also if Morris is fit he should come back in for Watson, although I did think Watson played okay today (he didn't have much to do right enough…) Though nobody will be in the least bit surprised, I don't believe Paton deserves to come back in, in place of Butcher. I doubt Morris will be back - he was on crutches today. Was interesting to see Watson at centre back, when Dillon has played there as much as right back. It'd be good to see Keef progress there, as he clearly won't have the legs to play as an attacking full back forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I don't think I've ever witness us beat United. I don't see that changing on Sunday. I'd be happy, nay delighted with a draw. Hopefully have a few players back in for this otherwise even that could be a tall order. Pin the tail on the donkey prediction: Thistle 1 (Stevenson) 32 United 1 (Fojut) 89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 There's a sizeable difference between the top 5 and bottom 5 teams. Hopefully GMS, Armstrong and Cifti get sold before Sunday to make it fair. Away win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 As much as the 6-2 horsing of our local rivals should leave me brimming with confidence, our inconsistency and almost impeccable win-lose-win-lose-win-lose form leaves me completely unable to call this. Today was the 394th time under McNamara that we demonstrated how dreadful we are when we sit off the opposition. The spell between 1-0 and 1-1 we were hopeless against a very poor side, but as soon as we showed some ambition to get up the park it was like watching a different team altogether. It's like JMc is taking the concept of counter attacking to the extreme, even against teams we are more than capable of dominating and passing through (the recent Ross County game being another example of this). Same team as today and same attitude (once we got going) should be enough to get a win but probably not with a clean sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
