Last week. Game postponed at 2pm.
This week. I need the @AyrUnitedFC baseball cap to watch the game.
This is a wonderful tune from Man/Woman/Chainsaw

If you haven't sampled @d_gray_writer's Slow Match Report yet, his latest from Firhill is delightful.

Couldn’t agree more. That Thing You Do is one of the great feelgood movies.

How was this game not abandoned?
I assume it would have been postponed if those were the conditions before kick off?

Partick Thistle have been the nearly men of Scottish football in recent seasons. They always seem to find one team that’s just that wee bit better in their quest to get back to the Premiership. But is that the real reason or is there something more sinister going on? Something that stretches back to a time before the club even took up residency at Firhill?
Truth or urban legend? In conjunction with @NutmegMagazine, Row Z investigates Partick Thistle and The Haunted Goalmouth.
Finally got around to listen to the new @fontainesdublin album and it's a cracker.

Who was your club’s greatest captain? 💪
For Nutmeg editor @d_gray_writer, Tony Mowbray’s leadership at Middlesbrough embodied the best of Teesside.

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy.

🏁 Two games for @AyrUnitedFC.
⚽️ 4 points.
But…
27% possession against a very good Dunfermline side. Though was that just because we were really bad?
2 shots on target last week against Livingston and 2 goals.
Harry Stone the hero again yesterday.
