Star of PTTV

Another day and another dramatic start. It began with me arranging to meet Stu and Chrisy in town so I made my way to the bus stop in very windy conditions.

After that I settled into sitting on the bus and fired a few texts off to some people to ease the boredom, I then made my way to the front of the bus as I appraoched Killermont Street feeling I had forgotten something I patted myself down only to realise I had forgotten my season ticket.

I then phoned my mum to tell her of the faux pas and I asked if my Dad could meet us at Firhill so he could drop it off so it was arranged and although they couldn't find it at first, it was eventually found down the side of the couch in the living room. So after meeting Stu and Chrisy we made our way round to Georgics where Chrisy had apint and I changed into my brand spanking new Thistle away top - which we were going to be wearing in the game against Airdrie.

So we were off so I could meet my dad at Firhill, I got refused a child single ticket on the subway but I paid the 1.20 for an adult one. I didn't have any money for a program or pie so both me and Stu starved the entire game, getting text updates from Louise on the Morton game.

First half was largely uneventful, Airdrie had chances but nothing too serious, same with Thistle. We were boosted with news Morton were beating Queens which meant a win would see us top the league. The first half was soured by an Airdrie red card, Scott McLaughlin went in on Paul Paton and lost his balance making it look worse than it was to me and to the referee who sent the Airdrie man off.

The sending off was the turning point, Airdrie sort of gave up and Thistle's midfield began to exert pressure, a fine move involving Simon Donnely and Chris Erskine threading BRYAN HODGE through to put the Jags in front:

It was God-ges first league goal for us and oh boy, did we enjoy it.

Simon Donnelly admittedly didn't have the best of games yesterday, but he's been scoring a good few and he put the game to bed after good work from supersub Mark Corcoran:


Allez le Sid! Thats his 5th goal of the season and that was us winning that game. Squeeky bum time at Palmerston meant that we sweated on whether Queens would make it 3-3 or not, their game ended before ours and we were topping the table. Yaldi.

Buying the away top was a bit daft considering my finances. I know that I shouldn't but I enjoyed, it got me on TV and we went top of the league. You're no, you're no...WE'RE TOP A THE LEAGUE AND YOU'RE NO.
