Ya Bezzer!

We need a creative central midfielder who can score. Without Pearson in form we are seriously lacking. The irony is we had one in Vigurs.

Neither team really deserved 3 points but Partick managed something we didn't - shots on goal. Cerny didn't have a save to make. Two points. 1 Moult has been poor recently. McDonald ran himself into the ground tonight but he had nothing to play off. Moult badly needs a goal to get his confidence and form back up. 2 Pearson just didn't have the engine on him tonight to make runs from midfield. That reduces our goal threat significantly. With these two factors we ate going to struggle to score.

3-4-3 at the moment.

Moult has been very poor, we've actually got 3 upfront, Johnson in the middle.

Pearson looks like he played 90 minutes earlier in the day, absolutely blowing out his arse after about 15 minutes.

Not sure what's worse - the pitch, the police or the players. The referee hasn't covered himself in glory either! Will say more on the policing when I get home as I had a pretty good view.

Poor fare so far, more interest in the stand thanks to Glasgows finest.

Basically playing on an ashie tonight by the looks of it!

Our recent history at Firhill is pretty awful, not an away ground we get much joy at. We are surely due a lucky break though after a month of hard luck stories. Thistle after a good run have hit a little sticky patch, so lets hope we can take advantage of that.

Doubt these players went without being paid off. Would you leave a contract in their circumstances?

First things first, it was never a penalty and you don't need multiple replays to see the glaringly obvious. Secondly, I'm against video replays because they actually solve very little, maybe "was it over the line" goal, or an occasional offside or handball but most controversial decisions will still be controversial decisions whether they were arrived at by video replay or not. All you really do is add another level of controversy - when is video replay deployed? Who has the final decision? etc, etc.

Heavy rain over night but the storm is to blow over by mid afternoon according to the weather forecast. Hopeful this is on because I've not been to an away match since October!

Vaz Te was absolute mince when he was at Hibs.

Very surprised to come home and read the news. Gomis is a good and experienced player who I think will do well with us but he's played 17 out of 23 league matches with Hearts so I'm a bit surprised that he's been allowed to come to us. Obviously thinning the decks a bit at Hearts - Billy King loaned out as well and Kenny Anderson released recently.

They have also played 2 more games thanus. People need to calm down a bit. There are 6 points between 6 teams right now with some teams with games in hand and others with none. Very few teams have shown any kind of consistency. We could be in a better position but I don't think we need to be worried about being isolated at this stage.

It's a point away from home against a team in decent form.....still annoying though.

4 pens conceded in 4 matches. We've only had 2 all season!

The boy Em Sorry totally dominated the first half. Not on the team sheets, must have been a late change.

DEFENCE - OVER TO YOU.

Both defences living up to recent reputations!

Good start, great to see Cadden kick on from last week and get a goal.

With Moult and McDonald you could say the same about us, therefore it should be a few goals in this one, therefore it will end 0-0.

Strange because I thought Aberdeen were closing in on Stuart Bannigan at Partick.

Pssst, don't tell anyone but Paul Paton will join Motherwell from Dundee Utd before the start of next week. Heard from a friend of his that used to play with him at Partick Thistle and now works in my office. Nah, just made this up. Thought we needed a good rumour.

Problem is we will never be able to replace Hammell and Lasley with the same level of quality. That standard of player isn't available to us through any other means than youth development. That's why they have been around for so long, and by the way, are still two of our best players and will be two of the first players on the team sheet ever week if they are fit.
