Partick Thistle 2 Inverness Caledonian Thistle 0
After half an hour of this game with the Jags one nil down and an ever increasing misty atmosphere enveloping north west Glasgow it was no wonder that the Firhill shed boys were letting out a hopeful cr of: ‘yer gonnae have to postpone it we cannae see the game…’ However ten minutes later after new boys Adams and Lovell had put Thistle 2-1 up with two well taken goals this was exactly what they did not want. Instead the ref, McDonald, thankfully decided to give us the full 90, plus a fog filled five minutes of nervy injury time.

Match Report-Saturday 14th November 2009
by Partick the Dog (with assistance from Wee Honk)
The absence of regular goalkeeper Jonny Tuffey on international duty with Northern Ireland proved costly as Thistle shipped two preventable goals in the first half. Paul Cairney’s superb strike fuelled a second half fightback which was snuffed out only at the death. (more…)

- Coach Alfie telling it like it is.
Thursday night marks the third week of our coaching sessions in the south side of Glasgow. Man of the Moment Alfred Archer has been leading the evening coaching sessions in Govanhill Park with some of the local aspiring footballers. The project focusses on bringing together young people from the different ethnic groups that make up the community of Govanhill. ‘Coach Alfie’ as he is known by the young people at the sessions has a difficult task as many of those taking part are from the Slovakian Roma community, Iraq and a number of other countries and do not have much English. Alf relies on the language of football to communicate effectively. (more…)
