I hope he does. I know he's raw and young but he's looked a little out his depth whenever I've seen him.
That's not a criticism. He's barely had a chance. I think a good loan spell in league one could be very helpful.
Yeah. I mean years down the line. There's certain moments I've seen that just catch the eye and when you consider he's 17. Five years down the line we could have a very good player.

From the first 10 minutes it was clear who was going to win the game last night and a few of your players stood out to me and those were:
No. 9 - T. Sutherland
No. 10 - A. Tod
Both of them were very confident on the ball and good range of passing. Sutherland seemed to have a good turn of pace as well. Would give an honourable mention to your left back No. 3 Hogan.
Tod and Sutherland have been on the fringes of the first team squad for the last year now. Andy Tod will go on to bigger things eventually I think.

Airdrie are the form team in the league for the last wee while but McPake does seem to handle them better than most. We are also in form and I can see a narrow win either way in this one.

Sol Bamba doing a bit on the BBC website. Rates Leishman as one of the best he's worked with.

I would love to keep Kane but as said above, I personally think he could still play effectively in the top league.
He's been a big help getting us up the league though and just need to appeciate him for the next 4 games. It will be be some drop off when he goes and we get Wighton back. I'm actually hoping to see Taylor Sutherland make a push for 1st team football next year. Scoring every week in the reserves and some nice finishes.

Rhys McCabe doing some job at Airdrie. They will struggle to keep hold of him in the summer.

Nah that's just silly.
Compare the records of both players at this level and there's a clear winner.
Really. I would've thought Kane has played longer at a higher level and achieved much more that Graham in his career.

Would rather have Chris Kane than Graham to be honest. Kane is an outstanding lone stiker at this level.

Good turn out from the Pars fans today.
I know we normally announce tickets sold and it looks a bit daft when many don't turn up, but looked a healthy number of bums on seats today. 5500 is superb for a middling Championship side. More than Kilmarnock had today and they are flying in the top division.

I certainly won’t argue with anyone at the game, because it’s not worth it. A very good League One player, however people have made their mind up so it’s really not worth him pursuing a career at the club next season. His problem is that he is always available for the ball, which is his downfall.
His problem is that he's very slow.
He unable to close down or do the dirty side of the game, which is required at this level. Hamilton and Otoo can do that and we are a much better team when they are in midfield.
I do think he has been harshly treated today and a lot of that is due to him not being Chris Hamilton. I did feel a bit awkward when folk were cheering him off sarcastically. No need for that. McPake clearly wouldn't normally play the guy if Hamilton was fit.

Joe Joe super Joe, super Joey Chalmers was the chant this time last year.
Football fans eh
He just not up to Championship level. It's too quick at this level for him. Good League 1 player.

Not getting involved in the Chalmers debate. But Otoo is proving to be a top midfielder at this level. He’s been immense since moving back into midfield.
What a difference having a midfielder who get stuck in makes. He and Hamilton are two of the best defensive midfielders in the league. You can see the drop off when either of them are out.

The ref when he played advantage for Chris Kane was weird. Kane gets past his man and makes his way to the 18 yard box, then the ref pulls the game back to the original foul?????
Some baffling stuff that I just can't understand from the officials today. Such a poor standard.

Thought Thistle had a very strong 15-45m and there's always the worry that a one goal lead wouldn't be enough. The home team were better in the second, especially after their goal when there only looked like one team likely to score.
The ref just looked out of his depth and when it seems like he's guessing then it encourages both sides to be a little heavy in the tackle.
My first trip to Dunfermline as a city, and despite Fife's reputation as the Ayrshire of the east, it's a nice day out. Currently enjoying a pack of dry roasted the barmaid gave me for free as they're a month out of date.
Kinda goes without saying, but rather you made the playoffs than Airdrie.
Got to agree. Dunfermline is underrated. Great place to stay.

Thought the wind favoured each team when they had it.
Think we deseved to win overall but not too downhearted with a draw. Hit the post twice and Moffat missed a golden chance near the end. Partick came close with McInroy too.
Partick are well organised, as are Pars. Good game between two decent teams.

"Playable condition" will still likely mean very soft, heavy ground and lots of mud later in the game. Won't be a classic, that's for sure. Not sure I can make it today so was hoping for a postponement tbh but hopefully we can keep our recent good form up and Airdrie drop some points to Morton too.
Kind of the way we have been winning last two games anyway.

Bring on the cartoons.
They have done well this year but the way their fans, board and social media team have taken it is hilarious. Looked like a bunch of hillbilly morons.

Given we are now most probably going to be a championship club next season my thoughts on the squad is, It’s generally ok, there’s nobody I particularly want to make sure we don’t have playing for us next season.
But for a squad our size there’s too many guys who are ok for maybe 10-15 starts and the opposite as subs. We don’t have enough who have the quality that makes them certain starters for a club fighting for promotion.
Therefore we are going to need to let a few guys go who haven’t done a huge amount wrong to allow us bring in proven quality, Allan may fall a victim of that more in relation to contract timing than anything else but I’ve got no problem with him being here longer.
There too much baggage on 2 year deals.
MOH, Chalmers, Breen, Wighton etc. Need to find a way of getting them off the wage bill.

Going to miss your Steak and Black pies so much.
I genuinely will miss Arbroath. Great away day.

Got to be taking 3 points today but I never feel confident about any match in this league. Last two games between the sides have been draws. We are a much better squad now mind you.

Not really sure the pissy statement from the Rovers board
From they way I've seen them act in the directors box at East End this season , they have zero class. Wanting to fight folk and mouthing off during games. They seem to like spending there time trying to wind folk up and putting out embarrassing statements. Classless trash.

Aye tough game this one. Morton are direct and physical and that high press destroyed us at East End.
We have much better options to combat that now though. Hammy and Otoo now in midfield will be up for a scrap. Bene is back now and won't get bullied. MFW has settled now and has been excellent last few weks. Wiles at right back is physical and a big upgrade on Benjamin, who played on the right of a back three that awful day. Also we now play a back four which is more solid than the back 3 we played back then.
Regardless of our improvements, I would take a point in this one.

Good to have a few in League one interested. Get a wee bidding war going. 6 figure sum and a sell on would be a decent deal for a guy with one year on his deal. Will be sad to see Josh go though. Hardly been injured and played a lot of games for us at a young age.
Another good Stevie Crawford prospect that we make money on. He certainly had an eye for a player.
Maybe go for Lewis Strapp at Morton as a replacement.
