Should be a good day out in the west end and a good atmosphere. It will be nice to attend a Thistle game in person at least seeing as we never got to last season. Looking forward to kicking a Glasgow Uni professor up and down Maryhill Road. Im the opposite, genuinely IMO this was one of THE worst draws in that pot. Not even a good pay day against an OK team from the league above, 99% chance we'll get papped out with a whimper in a terrible 2-0 defeat. The magic of the cup eh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapelhall chap Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Trying to check our head to head but I don't think we have played Thistle in the Scottish Cup in my lifetime? The last games I was in a crowd at Firhill versus Thistle we lost by 0-7 in season 2012-13 ( Alan Cook at Left back!) but managed to reduce it to 0-1 later in that season . Obviously we mainly lose there but there have been wins. It was a wee bit close last season in the crowd-less games so I can look forward to a wee trip . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Are Red Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Ian Murray on BBC Alba co-commentary duty in Dumfries tonight (QOS v Morton). No Gaelic from him so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partick poster showed that we played in 1986 and won a replay at Firhill. We then lost to Dundee in the next round in a year where Aberdeen beat Hearts. It is not beyond us to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game at firhill that comes to my mind is the game we won 1-0 in the challenge cup sure that was the season we won it. Di Giacomo scoring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends whether you're as senior as me but I do remember that Di Giacomo goal. Will research which year asap. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond10 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Results didn’t really go our way today. Hopefully we catch Montrose tired out on Tuesday after their Scottish cup exploits. Queen’s Park will certainly come full of confidence next week. Can’t help but feel the next two games will go a long way in defining our season. Cove seem to be on a good run.

Diamond10 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Ian Murray seems to be high up on Falkirk’s list of potential managers. I’d Imagine he must be in the thoughts of Morton also. Do we know when he’s currently contracted until? Hopefully it doesn’t amount to anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I'd be very surprised if we paid any comp for a manager after paying Gus over a year's wage to f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Looks like 4231 tonight based on the players starting. The more glass-is-half-full side of me thinks that playing side by side at the base of midfield is probably the way to get the best out of both McCabe and McInroy, but we've generally been at our best in the last few months when playing with two proper out and out strikers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m interested to see how that midfield sets up, as it’s five players who are more naturally central players. You’d assume McCabe and McInroy sitting and McGill, Easton and Frizzell in front of them which does sound quite good, albeit there might be a lack of width at times. We’ve played teams like this already this season but generally with Smith on one side which provided some directness, so we’ll need Watson and Quitongo to have good games and get forward to provide some width. I suppose Montrose’s full backs are two of the best in the league, so perhaps trying to get our technical players on the ball and win the midfield is a smart choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
