Nightmare

f**k Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Merry Christmas.

That was a stonewall penalty at the end, no idea what Bannigan was thinking. We were very fortunate there. Other than that, I thought it was a pretty even game as well. We shaded the first half, Caley the second, but overall a generally forgettable game.

Traditional powerhouses, you say? You sound like a smart bot. You can stay.

Yes, at their peaks. I’ll take the guy who scored double figures worth of goals 8 seasons in a row (5 of them while Thistle were in the top flight).

Ooft, imagine thinking that Dougie Imrie had a better career as a player than Kris Doolan.

This looks like it could be very useful, cheers. One small problem with the train I’ve booked from Frankfurt to Munich, is that I think the ticket says the seat reservations are in carriage 24 - but the train diagram on that Czech website shows the carriage numbers as going 26, 25, 23, 22. Which seems a bit weird. Ever seen that before on there or any idea what’s going on?

Going back to this, Spanos would have to change the habit of a lifetime if the Chargers are going to hire any of those 3 names as Head Coach. He’s a notoriously cheap owner, which is why you always end up with the ‘exciting young coordinator’ type hires. Not to say that the whole Staley debacle won’t change his mind and make him realise that he should probably put some real cash into his next hire, but it just seems like the prospect of LAC paying $10m+ a year to anyone, even a top name like Harbaugh or Belichick, is very unlikely. My guess would be a Ben Johnson type hire to pair with Herbert, or if he’s totally burned out on the young coordinator thing, then a more affordable retread like Dan Quinn.

I think it's quite telling that even after breaking the franchise record for most points in a game, most Raiders fans aren't too fussed about last night. That was an all-time 'quit on your coach' game from the Chargers. It's always fun beating a division rival, and especially by that kind of margin, but not ideal for us being in a position to draft our QBOTF next year. That Jack Jones pick six, though. Very cool.

Not surprised that you’ve managed to completely mis-read the situation in this thread. Very on brand.

Not one of ours. Or Patrick’s.

The rest of the league finding out that the Chiefs have indeed replaced the Patriots as the villains of the NFL - which the rest of us in the AFCW have known for years already. Imagine being so entitled and arrogant that you think the rules shouldn't apply to you. A hideous fanbase and team. Get it right up them.

My favourite is when they make excuses about budgets after getting pumped in Europe, without a single hint of irony.

State of Guardiola there. Odious little man.

A deserved win for Rovers at the end of the day given our calamitous first half where they should have been out of sight. I can imagine it was a great match for the neutral, but it definitely wasn’t from a Jags point of view as our midfield and defence were AWOL at so many different points in the match. I’m torn on wanting to see Raith continue this great run of form and go on to win the league. On the one hand they’re really fun to watch and it would be nice to see someone different win the title, but if they do so then that’ll mean there’s a good chance we’re stuck with Dundee United next season who will just continue to spunk millions up the wall until they do finally win promotion again.

This game is stupid.

Howling from Sneddon again. Just one of those games we’ve been accustomed to him having. David Mitchell will be back in next week. Only him to play a few games before committing a similar howler. And on goes the pathetic Thistle goalkeeper merry-go-round.

He’s been terrible. Went from giving nothing to either team to now giving every daft wee foul possible.

We’re all over the shop. Should be more than 1-0 here. Bannigan will be on at HT because the midfield is nowhere to be seen.

Lack of decision there possibly attributed to Fitzpatrick’s reputation for going down too easily. But yeah, definitely a foul.

Sneddon up to his old tricks. Look pretty decent most of the time but prone to that sort of nonsense clanger every few games.

Brian Graham would be my number one choice, with the one caveat being that I’m not sure he’s quite ready to give up playing yet. He’s doing an excellent job with the Thistle women’s team and has a great connection with the fans at the club already, so it feels like a logical next step for him.

Adeloye should be a more than adequate replacement. Certainly not worth sabotaging a game for. Especially when you consider the financial factor of moving the game from a Saturday to probably some Tuesday evening in February.

Not sure what this even means. TJF are using £10k p/m of “their own money” to keep the club in the black just now. In addition to the £50k they contributed in the summer. Which is required because the last group of charlatans authorised a playing budget based on imaginary money and left the club in the shit.

The pitch has been completely fine since QP stopped sharing with us in May 2022. Do keep up.
