Top shithousery from Doolan. Thistle had an extra yard and comfortable holding the ball when they were set up to attack. Should have risked a 4-3 win instead of keeping it tight until Friday

Under Bullen Chalmers used to float around the entire pitch, gather the ball and make things happen. Slightly different with Brown where he does a bit more defensively and fits into a system. Whilst i would rather he stayed we will need to see the way Brown wants to play next season.

We also have the situation where our best players might not be back next season. Other fans favourites because the previous manager liked and backed them may also leave. Could be a new level of mind shift this close season

A random article appeared midseason linking him with a move to league 2 in England. Think it might have been Barrow but not totally sure.

No. Would happiness be a general consensus for the Snp membership right now?

Rent a gob = fellow member that actually still seems to care about independence being on the table. Had Kate Forbes not met the similar fate it could have been viewed as a one off. It seems Putin might even learn something from the dictatorial way the party is being governed

Two candidates have now spoken with another candidate and subsequently withdrawn their leadership application. Would this be normal behaviour in politics where members deserve a choice and chance to put their points across. With the Snp shouting loudly about freedom and democratic choice they obviously don't do as they say.

This would be great news and show the Snp does actually have some up and coming talent. There might need to be a few more of these marches to get the funds together for the campaigning

He may well have got beyond that last season but for boardroom politics. Difficult to tell how far he could get to in the correct set up. Has managed in the league above with his time being brought to an end via Ladbrokes rather than poor results. Although that was a long time ago and the game has moved on since then. Someone with far more resource than Clyde should be taking a punt on him though.

Can we still refer to this govt as progressive once Swinney is anointed? Why bother having a deputy that can't step up and be forced to drag yesterdays man out his bed. Could be further difficult times ahead if he's caught up in any of the branchform fall out. Either they know this already or it's a gamble to keep all of the other bodies safely buried

Swinney hasn't been arrested so it looks like he will escape branchform. Last year he was potentially in the frame otherwise he would have been sent in as the continuity candidate. Right now he is about the best option of avoiding an election and keeping a fragmented party together. His mandate won't be a fresh start it will be to keep the bodies buried until sufficient time has past and other events are taken care of.

It's a masterstroke. This should see them avoid a snap election and time for things to calm down and steady the ship

Blue sky thinking adds to an already complex situation. Working to a timeframe and avoiding an early election keeps options limited

Will Swinney be the continuity candidates continuity candidate? Can't see many others who could hold the line and avoid an early election being called

Will the hive still be following orders next week? A good chance for Ewing to get his own back for the greater good. Will Matheson still have the powers to vote and can Sturgeon be relied upon to turn up at her work these days? With the rate of change today it also gets more likely by the hour he realises his tea is oot and throws the towel in before any vote

The presiding office still seemed to be assisting Humza earlier so fair chance they will still be onside when the tears stop

With friends like these who needs enemies. A shameful dumping of the gardening wing with not even a vote to make it look like a unified decision. Humza seems to have forgotten one chunk of his party runs seamlessly into green territory. Surely Forbes or the skull can't be too far away from putting Humza out his own misery

Not sure the play offs bring much cash in and they aren't well placed to win promotion so finishing 3rd might also be a target for them

The red tops running with the expectation of more charges incoming. Even the greens are pondering whether being seen next to the Snp will damage their street cred. The way things are building Humzas tea could be out if he can't bring some sort of unity to the sinking ship

The answer would be probably in debt and perhaps heading down a division after paying off a string of managers plus covering a transfer dept that might not have washed it's own face. Spending on infrastructure is great and will be worth the sacrifice for pushing us up a level. Once the stand opens hopefully a lot of distraction is removed and the focus becomes mainly around the playing side. Excluding Brown i do remember the last decent manager we hired managed to put us in a better place without all of the added luxuries.

A journalist on X saying a general meeting has been agreed but no date yet. Will this come to more than the annual handbags each year around budget time? Surely there are some members who still prioritise animal welfare/greenhouse gases to bickering around gender issues?

Has the judiciary in Scotland not been taken in house and became a functioning part of the Snp?

Any comment yet from the Greens around the climate change targets being brushed aside? Probably all of their outrage will be focused on puberty blockers that will feature much higher up their list of priorities!

There is also a recurring theme in this league of teams having an injury crisis and dropping points. In addition to adding quality having better cover and balance may also help to kick us on. Hoping we may build the squad a bit and still places available for a good few signings

From memory Rose did ok against Arbroath and Queens Park during their early season slump. Perhaps you could have made an arguement around adjusting to the game up here but i also think the league below might just be his level
