Game 29
Greece 3 Scotland 2

We were all set to leave on 70 minutes at 3-0 only for the maddest 25 minutes of football to ensue in both Athens and Copenhagen.

Game 28
Hearts Women 2 Hibs Women 3

Enjoyable cup tie. Nothing much between the teams. Hibs just a bit more clinical.

Both Maitlis and Sopel struggling to hide their contempt for Mamdani.

Laughable. Streeting is neither authentic or progressive.

Who would’ve guessed FIFA would win the award for the most pathetic pandering to Trump. Every day Infantino embarrasses football.

The establishment Dems are terrified of Mamdani being successful

Perfect way to bounce back from from last week’s disappointing result. First 2 goals were crackers.

Terrific 2nd half comeback from Thistle and one of the more bizarre red cards you’ll ever see for Ayr

If you see a better counter attacking goal this season than Smyth’s today I’ll be surprised

Wasn’t pretty but I’ve seen so many Scottish glorious failures I’ll quite happily take an ugly win.

Game 22
Morton 1 @partickthistle.bsky.social 1

26 shots, 10 on target, 3 off the woodwork. How on earth did it take the Jags until the 93rd minute to score!

Played off the park for the first hour so to dig out the result was a good effort.

Surprisingly comfortable win for Hearts. Could’ve been many more. Forgot to take a photo!

Very unfair of Arbroath to bring their wind machine with them.

Dunfermline 0 @partickthistle.bsky.social 2

Rare productive trip to Fife although will need to see Jagzone for Watt’s goal thanks to the slowest pie queue in history! Smyth very impressive.

Game 17
@partickthistle.bsky.social 0 Celtic 4

Much as expected unfortunately but thought Thistle showed them too much respect in the 1st half. Barely put a tackle in. When the opposition is bringing on an Β£11m player in the 2nd half you know there’s a gulf though.

Enjoyable East of Scotland cup tie with 7th tier Athletic shocking 5th tier Rangers.

Not a great performance from Thistle but showed great character to dig out the result. Wilson got the subs right.

Hard earned point in Copenhagen. Hanley outstanding isn’t something I expected to say.

Wouldn’t give the owner a penny of my money so haven’t been into one of those soulless barns in years. This is another reason to continue avoiding them.

That was the Aidan Fitzpatrick of old today. Been good signs recently but that may have been his best performance in 18 months.

Game 12
Preston 1 Ipswich 0

Wee away day with Thistle up at Ross Co today. Preston about equidistant from Edinburgh to Dingwall but a lot easier to get to. Not the best game but good to see ex Jag Liam Lindsay help PNE to 3 points.

Game 11
Hibs 1 Legia Warsaw 2

Legia the poorest of the 3 European teams at Easter Road this season. Hibs still right in the tie but can’t afford to miss the type of chances they missed tonight in the 2nd leg.
