    No sympathy for thistle

    Partick Thistle today learned the hard way that there is no room in football for sentiment.They latterly played a style of football that was not good to watch. They played a containing game a boring brand of football creating little chances and scoring too few goals. Their up and coming young managerial partnership appeared to run out of ideas when the pressure was on and the chips were down. Firhill for thrills what does the future hold for Patrick Thistle?They face a season in a lower division a dog fight with Ross County and Dundee United and possible financial cutbacks in the season ahead.Do we feel sorry for them? No.We have been there and no one felt sorry for us.I would take Kris Doolan though I reckon Lenny could make a decent striker out of him.The vultures will be hovering as Partick Thistle endeavour to make ends meet.Welcome to the real world.

    We are left to face a rejuvenated St Mirren and a tough tackling streetwise Livi side that will take no prisoners and set themselves up as hard to beat.


    Callum Booth anyone?

    I really have no interest in anyone but Hibs and our next opponent.

    I have sympathy for them. Their fans could just as easily take the bus to support Rangers or Celtic but they don't. Good supporters.

    Absolutely no sympathy for them whatsoever. Archibald coming out with the same hard luck stories week in week out. They will be stuck in the championship for a good while I imagine.
    Livvy will find it tough and their bean counters now need to rip it up and start again with a plan for the top league but well done to them for digging out the results.

    I'd rather Thistle stayed up. Livi are a plastic team with hardly any fans whose only achievements were through financial doping. They're also hammer throwers which Scottish football has too many of.

    Correct. I fear for them now, might end up doing a Raith Rovers next year.

    Well he has now formally spoken to two clubs in the past five months with a view to leaving so assume if he gets an offer from a Club he is happy to move to he will be off

    Livi are here on merit and it's some achievement.
    However, they offer absolutely nothing to the top flight. No fanbase. No travelling support. No cash. No excitement. An accessible away day is about all their promotion offers Scottish football.
    The sooner United and dunfermline get their act together and get back up the better IMO.

    Not sure about this. Their supporters support Thistle as they have done for generations like ours. They're not due any medals for it. IMO they are just getting on with supporting a team.

    Sorry to see Thistle relegated. Can't be easy for the club trying to survive in Glasgow. Hope they get back up soon, not going to be easy though.

    Ipswich interested in Ross but also courting Derek Adams? Partick might end up looking for a gaffer soon too....

    Thistle over Livi every day for me, although Livi deserved it. Can only hope that the success might pry some away from the clutches of the ugly sisters.

    It was 2 brutal games of football with very little guile and creativity, Thistle have struggled the last 2 seasons and deserve to go down, Livi are poor and will be found out next season, kid on club with no real support.

    Is it true Livi are getting a synthetic pitch next season? If so that would be terrible having 3 teams with it

    Get beat by Livi twice and you deserve nothing but relegation.

    Completely agree. Thistle were poor over the 2 games and deserved to go down but Livingston add nothing to the top league

    In the past I’d have agreed with that kind of comment about Livi.

    But Hopkin has done an unbelievable job to get them promoted and they’ve not just bought it like they did before. For all they’re a bit industrial they’ve created plenty chances and scored plenty goals in the playoff matches.

    Agree that they’ll need a fair bit of investment to just compete in the premiership though.

    On the positive front, we’ll be able to bring 5 or 6k through to the Tony Mac or whatever the fudge it’s called these days. Dead easy trip through.

    Losing a three sided ground from the SPFL and replacing it with an all enclosed neat stadium is no bad thing. If Livingston then decide to lay a plastic pitch then it’s sort of back to square one. Just reduce the league to 10 teams..
