Sunk by two very late goals ... the first their first shot on target in the whole match.

Never mind, overall it's been a great season for Thistle ..

Just been reading an advert for a brand new page called My Sport on the BBC Sport Website:

'A wide range of topics are available – ranging from Get Inspired to Scottish Premiership Football ... '

But your original point is spot-on. Goal-incontinence is certain death. United were an anomaly.

A reminder of the all time classic Colemanballs....

With apologies to Scottish persons , of course.

I think the United winning performance at Southampton that I "enjoyed" the most was this one.

United just seemed to play at a different speed to us that day. Well they did. GIggs and Sharpe took us to the cleaners !!

Two cracking line-ups there, and amazingly, 19 of the 22 players are from the British Isles.

Looking at our eleven , I make that one cracking line up !!
Neal Bartlet Was an odd one. Came in as a youngster, looked the real deal, and career just never happened. Ended up in the army

No apologies required ... David's appreciation of a truly historic demonstration of the finer points of The Beautiful Game in 1971 was way ahead of his peers south of the border ...

Thanks very much Rob - have a great holiday.

It's happened again. What do club owners do with parachute payments. I can understand why way back Wednesday, Barnsley, Bradford City, Southampton, Norwich, Leicester, Forest, Leeds and Charlton all ran out of money and luck bridging the financial gap between the Prem and the second tier - all dropping to Div One or even Div Two. However in recent years with bigger handouts to avoid it, the drop has happened to Blackpool, Wolves, Wigan, Bolton and now Blackburn (and Wigan again). Meanwhile the sleeping giants trying to recover are repeatedly outbidded for the cream of Championship players, for fear of breaking the fairplay rules. Tell me what's fair about over-compensated failures from the top flight given the advantage over genuinely aspiring clubs. Yes I dearly want Wednesday to win the play-offs, and have a well assembled squad to hopefully achieve it, but to do it they will have to beat either Fulham or Reading, both clubs which have squads financed partially by parachute payments. OK we are fortunate now have an owner who backs his belief in us with a bit of brass, but we were on the edge of administration and Div Two, with two stints in Div One before becoming once again a serious contender for the big time. Another reason why I want the Owls to do it this time is that there will be three more parachute beneficiaries, possibly of which two are quick returners, dropping into the Championship paying players over the odds and inflating transfer fees. There's the real world and there's the Premier League.

Have a great break ER.
Game was certainly not the best at Anfield, but we're not complaining at a reasonably well deserved point away to one of the big guns.
Four games against Liverpool in one season without conceding is a fair achievement .
