Play Off Decider

There will be another 9 Scottish teams feeling play off Heartbreak yet, before the happy winners are known. None of them will have a ‘let’s have a party anyway’ bonus game Scottish Cup Final to look forward to against a team we’ve beaten how many times in cups!!

Maybe but doesn't make it feel any better

Oh the memories of happier times. Eight years ago on the 9th of May 2015, we defeated Dundee 1-0 at Dens Park, to secure third place in the premiership and achieve European football for the first time. And although we missed out on the playoffs this season, we stand on the cusp of achieving European football again.......all we have to do is beat Celtic! 😀

Four points from their last seven games. Ouch.

And we took 2 points out of 12 against them this season: even worse than against Hamilton and the only team we failed to beat: one of the (many) reasons why we are not playing tonight!

I suspect they will struggle next season but time will tell.

Did we not only take 1 point from 6 in our last 2 critical games.

Yes. I'd say Queens Parks collapse and end of season form is, obviously, much worse as we weren't seven points clear at the top of the table with only a handful of games left.

We could be looking at Highland derbies next season, but I’m worried that Partick will rue not finishing that off tonight. It’s not a done deal by any means.

Kris Doolan has had 18 games in charge at Partick and only one defeat….. to us!

Not surprised at PT doing well, always looked like they had a squad capable, just shows what a good manager can get happening. We will never know if we had made a similar change whether we'd be in that position or not, but I believe we have a squad of similar levels.

The benchmark is not a relegation fodder Arbroath or even the QP team who may be top but realistically its Dundee, PT, Ayr that we need to be competing and beating and recent form shows we are well off the pace.

PT have been very impressive in the playoffs.  If they had displayed this form earlier in the season they would have won the title with several games to spare.  They just might regret not having put the tie to bed against County last night.  County have been handed a lifeline.  Being 2 - 0 down at half time and down to 10 men things were looking pretty grim for them, but Thistle were unable to take advantage of their possession and County avoided going further behind due to some last ditch defending and excellent saves.  Thistle will be a bit nervous now whilst County have given themselves a real chance to turn the tie round.

If County can put any kind of sustained pressure on Partick from the start it will be interesting. We haven't seen too many examples from Doolans team when they aren't allowed to exploit their attacking strengths.

If they can't get a result at home then they deserve to join us in the duffers division next year.

Derbies incoming. 0-1 ht at the Global Energy Stadium which some folk keep referring to as Victoria Park.

Edit - hold your horses. County score in stoppage time to make it 3-1...
