Game 43
@partickthistle.bsky.social 0 Arbroath 0

Huffed and puffed against a well organised Arbroath. Smyth very unlucky with the 2 against the bar late on though

Leaving it just a bit too late for comfort

Game 42
@partickthistle.bsky.social 1 Airdrie 0

Always felt comfortable today. For all their neat and tidy football I never thought Airdrie were going to score. Brilliant free kick from Stanway. He just keeps getting better and better.

Game 41
Hearts Women 3 Celtic Women 4 (aet)

Cracking cup tie in miserable conditions

Game 40
Elgin City 2 @partickthistle.bsky.social 3

Whitson derby day with my Elgin supporting brother. Far from convincing from the Jags but in the hat is all that matters.

It’ll be news to Alex Samuel that he’s from New Zealand.

Game 39
@partickthistle.bsky.social 2 Ayr 1

Excellent 3 points for the Jags but we’ve have to find someone who can take a penalty properly! Alex Samuel absolutely outstanding.

AKA the episode where Sopel got everything wrong

The banter has already started with my brother.

Game 38
@partickthistle.bsky.social 3 Montrose 1

Huffed and puffed a bit but the Jags are in the hat for the next round

Where’s the Don’t Like button!

Shaggy

Game 37
@partickthistle.bsky.social 3 Morton 2

Long time since I saw Thistle come back from 2 down to win. Think it was at Fir Park in the 90s. Great start to the club’s 150th anniversary year and my 50th supporting them.

Thoughts and prayers with the Match of the Day producer tonight. Can’t put all the games on last.

Game 36
@partickthistle.bsky.social 0 Raith Rovers 0

Definitely not a Christmas cracker. Awful game. Think Thistle misplaced more passes today than they had in total so far this season.

Game 35
Tranent 1 Gretna 1

Towsy Lowland League fare moved to Ainslie Park played in a howling gale

Cheapest ticket available to fans of the teams that make the World Cup final is $4185!! I’ve held FIFA in disdain for years but this is beyond disgraceful even for them. What are they doing to our game.

Game 34
Hearts Women 4 Spartans Women 0

Comfortable cup win for Hearts in testing blustery conditions

I muted at that bit or my TV would now be in bits

Every time you think this can’t get worse they prove you wrong. This is genuinely the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

Let me know when I can unmute this

This is the worst TV show I’ve ever seen

And the award for the world’s biggest sycophant goes to Gianni Infantino.

Bring back Blatter

Game 33
Scotland W u19s 4 Croatia W u19s 1

Excellent end to the first stage of the Euros campaign for the Scottish girls. On to the Spring for the next stage.

Game 32
Scotland W u19s 1 Norway W u19s 1

Good second half comeback from the Scottish girls after Norway were the better team 1st half. Solid start to the Euros campaign.

Game 31
@partickthistle.bsky.social 1 Dunfermline 0

Going joint top of the league made braving the sub zero temperature worthwhile

Assume anyone sent off for violent conduct in the playoffs will be given a similar “punishment”. What a joke FIFA is.

I hope a Scotland shirt and kilt is acceptable air wear for Sec Duffy next June!

Game 30
Scotland 4 Denmark 2

What. A. Night! USA, Canada, Mexico here we come. Don’t think I’ve ever experienced such joy at a game of football.
