  1. I'd love to know why he never signed for us in January. Could we not afford him? Did he turn us down? Did we even try to sign him? or did McCall not fancy him? He could have made a huge difference to us, even though we have done reasonably well since.

  2. Scottish football is dying on it's arse, it's not just us. The standard is probably the worst we have ever seen. Players we think are decent just now wouldn't get in to our teams of yesteryear (and I'm not just being nostalgic). A serious rethink is needed, but I've no idea what the answer is, but thats 4 or 5 home games now with crowds of well under 2000, something we haven't seen for a long time. answers on a postcard please!!!

  3. This time last year I would have been happy for him to leave, but I think he's turned things around a bit this season after a poor start. Got some promising youngsters, a decent keeper & a few good players signed for next season. He sent Kinniburgh, Doolan & Boyle out on loan last and all returned better players. Hopefully young Bannigan will be another. He's the 4th best manager we have had in the last 40 years (taking away the obvious Lambie, Auld & McParland) maybe there has been not much competition, but overall I would say his 4 years at Firhill have been reasonably successful.

  4. As a left field choice, maybe Paul Sheerin?

     

    Employing young unproven managers is always a risk, and sometimes pay dividends, but it's maybe not a risk worth us taking given our situation.

    Bit of a contradiction from you I think. Does 1 (granted successful) season with a part time team in the 3rd division make him proven?

  5. Falkirk have more to play for & will fancy at least 2 wins & will probably target all 3, so it depends how much our boys are up for it. I think 2 draws & 1 defeat, so 2 points (and thats being optimistic) purely because it's Falkirk's last chance

  6. OK, lets put a positive spin on it. Let's say we sort the inconsistancy out for next season and get these points on the board, that we have lost this season. Don't have so many dodgy pens given against us and on a more regular occurance, find our scoring boots..................good times are just around the corner.

    dodgy pens, missing chances & other stuff like that even themselves out over the season. What we should be able to do at the start of every season is target where we can win points, and against 2 newly promoted part time teams (who lost their successful managers) we should have been looking for 10-12 points from each. Next season won't be so easy against Livvy though

  7. The whole team should be classified as that surely on saturday in addition to the Manager, quite clearly the biggest dud (out of much competition) would have been John Robertson, though he tends to get much less criticism by people than others such as Grehan or Boyle(last season)

    I said right after the goal that Robertson should have been taken off immediately for his pathetic efforts in giving the goal away, especially after doing the same in the 1st half when Fox saved his skin.

  8. Felt sorry for the person landed with the task of picking the MotM. If it was me I'd have chosen Shaun Fraser then snatched the champagne back from him as he's underage. :D

    he won it in the half-time draw in hospitality. He had the choice of a Jags Tie or picking man of the match. I guess he picked that wrong as well!!! :P

  9. And it is frustrating to see Liam hitting the net fairly regularly for the Pars...

    that was always going to happen. It's more frustraing to see Hardie hit 3 for them yesterday as I believe he is a player we should have made sure we signed in January. I think he could have been used to teach Doolan, Grehan, Fraser etc a lot about playing the game

  10. Drop everyone from Saturday that can be dropped and filled in by a youngster except Fox, Rowson and Doolan.

    what a load of nonsense. The team played badly as a whole yesterday, but replacing them by youngsters who aren't ready for the 1st team is the wrong thing to do.

     

    Fraser & Campbell both got a reasonable run yesterday & made no real difference, so what makes you think bringing in another 6 youngsters will make a difference? These guys need time & do need to play more, but I don't think we have a team of youngsters anywhere near ready for the 1st team
