A new year has dawned and the first snowdrops are peering through the rain soaked soil. Everything down Halbeath Road way is as gloomy as the weather and yet in harmony with the snowdrops I find myself looking ahead to the joys of Spring and also the first game of 2025. Partick Thistle away. What could be better. A half hour stroll to Firhill. Meeting up with my PT supporter pal, join him in the home end, listen to his patronising commiserations even before the action commences, as he anticipates a Thistle win. But my heart is elsewhere. I look over and see the intrepid Pars fans who have made the journey and who still believe we can win and I take heart. Hope does spring eternal. We can do this. We came back and grabbed a point from Falkirk. Let`s grab a victory at Firhill.

With no manager in place and our only serious coach on holiday I can`t imagine it`ll be pretty.
I don`t wanna go down like disco.

In laws are all Jags and I`ve had to endure watching the Pars from the Jackie Husband stand for last 5 outings. NO MORE!
I`m dragging my daughter and her BF along to the Colin Weir stand on Saturday. Promised them the NW will be on form. They`ve been the only real highlight the last couple of games at Firhill. Actually them and the shocking refereeing.

Was a cracking win last season where it all seemed to go right including thistle having a perfectly good goal checked of as offside.
A point feels like the best we can hope for, thistle have picked up more than double the points we have in the last 5 league games. If weâve to have any chance of escaping the playoff position weâre going to need to get something from games like this inc a few wins on the road.
Expecting tidser to be announced today, but with no new players heâll have to set up the same way mccpake did, try and keep it tight for as long as possible and hope we get a break from somewhere or the opponents make a mistake and we get something from the game. I fancy it will be like this unless he gets some cash to spent on better attacking players.
Hopefully another cuffing for airdrie on Friday night.

Yes, I can feel your pain ubisanman. My PT pal, to be fair, does join me in the Norrie for our home games against PT, but that doesn`t change the usually negative result.
As far as parking is concerned, I don`t take my car there but I think parking is free in the streets between Maryhill Road and New City Road. Most Dunfermline fans I notice seem to have parked beyond Firhill to the North West of the stadium. I`m not sure either, if parking charges apply on a Saturday.

I tend to park at the flats behind the stand with the goal and walk back down the hill.
Tend to get parked easily and quick getaway too.
C'mon Ye Pars!

Park the bus just behind our keeper. Thatâll do nicely.
As you pass Firhill on your right, take the left at the top of the road and there is a long slow winding road that is best to park on. I think it is Murano Street

Sounds like John McLaughlan knew from the start of the week he might be looking after the team tomorrow. From COWS -
Dunfermlineâs caretaker manager will take the team into Saturdayâs fixture away to Partick Thistle seriously seeking the clubâs first league victory of the season on the road. For John McLaughlan that has meant cancelling a family holiday to Lanzarote but he enjoyed his first match in charge and is relishing another. Speaking at lunchtime he told the website how delays in appointing a new manager meant he was called upon yet again:-
âAfter the weekend, I got a phone call to say that the deal probably wouldnât go through as quickly as theyâd hoped, so I had to cancel my holiday and take the team. For me, it was a no-brainer, the club comes first and itâs an honour and a privilege to still be in that position as caretaker manager.
âI can go on holiday any time, so I made that decision on Tuesday and obviously took the training all week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and today, so itâs been a good week and the players are focused for tomorrow.â

Don`t think Bar67 in Lanzarote would have been particularly bouncing yesterday anyway so he won`t have missed much ;-)

Do we think Tidser might be in the stand tomorrow with it probably being announced Monday due to the Kelty Hearts statement? Will we get that new manager lift and boost some teams get? Claw back some points on the teams above and narrow the gap.

Really hope so and would be surprised if he was not assessing the players already

I`m hearing that P Thistle have undersoil heating, which is just as well because the grass in this area is quite frozen and the pavements icy. By kickoff time, it should be 3 degrees.
I noticed today that metered parking in the Maryhill vicinity is 7 days a week from 8am till 10pm and they charge ÂŁ4 per hour. If you`re coming by car leave early and find streets with free parking to the North West of the stadium.
