I see six home matches left in a 59 day period, including hame games on 4/3 and 8/3, which allow very little recovery time. I also see rain forecast the day before the first match and on the day of the second, which isn’t likely to be a good thing either. So I’ve always seen complaints about Firhill’s surface, what’s the real problem? It's a shithole! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have always had a drainage problem at Firhill, but the did spend some money on it to remedy it. After Glasgow Warriors left our pitch became a fine surface to play on, with significant investment. But it seems our problems have re surfaced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there’s a decent chance both of us will have playoff games on it as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and it’s been the completely predictable shambles most of us expected. Surprised you weren’t aware of the situation considering the (rightful) criticism we’ve had for the past couple of months because of it. But aye, quite looking forward to watching a game on grass again on Saturday, so hopefully this one is on.

foreverarover Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Depends on what's still to come, forecast wasn't great. Hopefully it misses us. It's to be 9 degrees and sunshine on Friday and 8 degrees on Saturday??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 It’s been sunny today in Kirkcaldy. Forecast tomorrow is for it to be overcast but dry and 9 degrees. Shouldn’t be any issues. I’m really looking forward to the big city team coming to town. Are we still allowed to sing that John McGlynn song, if we’re winning? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 It's a hell of a stretch, but if we were to actually win tomorrow we'd be up to third.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakngravy Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 6-0 to Partick Brian Graham to score a double hat-trick. Thistle will relish playing on a decent surface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I've barely thought about football the last couple of days but I've woken up buzzing for a trip to Kirkcaldy and a welcome distraction from events to the east.There's nothing like a game of football to take your mind off war/women/work/et cetera.A good day wished to all heading to Stark's (and those staying away for board of director related reasons). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 My only dilemma today is whether to go South Stand or Main Stand. I’m thinking South Stand as I’m a wee bit superstitious and believe that as I saw us beat Partick Thistle from the South Stand in September, I should go South Stand again. I’m hoping for the same scoreline. On the crowds thing, the three guys I usually go to the football with are all missing this one. Nothing to do with the DG situation, Illness x 2 and too cold x 1. Ethan Ross to return to form and punish Thistle. Zanatta and Connolly also to get their mojos back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 No Ethan Ross (or Jamie Gullan). It's not exactly in vogue, but with that I'd have gone for a traditional 4-4-2, left Williamson out and put Poplatnik up with Varian. As it is, who's the 10? Connolly? With Williamson wide right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
