Clever.clever stuff.

The only thing I would add is that we put an emphasis on attack.Attacking teams attract more fans.

Don't know about that particular instance but sadly there are a few Thistle supporters (some of them post on thus forum) who think it's ok to abuse their own players .Apparently" it does the players good".Encourage? Yes -Abuse ? No

Nor, I suppose, do Irish flags and music. (Though somehow I personally find it hard to get so offended by that).

I've see milk turn quicker than Harkins. He looks so unfit.The only thing that will get him moving in Tenerefe is a dodgy paella.

3 things: How did we play? Did we deserve to win? Was their goal offside?

Sorry but don't think a keeper of Hazards height should get beaten by a looping header.He dived "across" rather than "up".Also thought Hearts were predictable continually playing long balls.They certainly miss Naithsmith's creativity and positioning.Thought the game was there to win in the second half.

Really not bothered about the result.A good performance would be encouraging but our season is now purely about survival and I'm not optimistic.We're morphing into Pathetic Thistle.

Someone wondered why he left- was just pointing out that at one time he said he did not want the security of a long term contract.

I too remember Lawless getting pelters.There is no doubt he has talent but unfortunately he is human,like every other player , and did not always perform at his best. I also seem to remember that he said he did not like being “tied” down for a lengthy period to avoid complacency.Make of that what you will.

Archie never slaughtered refs because it is an excercise in futility,used most of the time to excuse a poor performance.

We need a BIG win to inject some confidence into the team.Don’t really want to hear how “unlucky” we were or that we “dominated” the game but still couldn’t win.Caldwellshould be banned from using these words in the after match interviews.Just leave it at “we didn’t play well enough to win” and get on with it.We’re gonna start feeling sorry for ourselves and that would be fatal.

that we didn’t manage to cling on to our Premier League status.It’s bad enough in the Championship but think we would have taken some absolute hammering in the PL.

Lighten up Andymac.It was a lighthearted remark but according to you Lefty is now preparing to throw himself off Kelvingrove Museum.

Fare ? Are you at the wind up?

Sorry “lefty” but I can’t take it anymore their not there know not no Please use spell check.

If,and it’s a big if,GC survives to the January window,then it’s reasonable to assume he will a better knowledge of players available in the English leagues than Archie.However I have the feeling that Archie seldom managed to get his first picks and ended up with 2 nd best rather than nobody. Same could happen to GC.

Would have thought it’s obvious.Caldwell has realised he’s made a mistake and is now adopting Tony Hancocks football managers strategy.You know ,the one where he put the 4’6” winger in goal. This will force the board to sack him and pay compo.Sorted.

As there’s not much in the way of discussion thought I would ask a question that genuinely puzzles me.Why is it that most posters on here would advocate all out attack at Firhill against say ,Falkirk, but if it’s at Brockville recommend a cautious approach. I can understand caution against teams considering better than you but given that most teams are on a par with each other with a few exceptions,why don’t we just adopt a policy of all out attack home and away. Just askin’ like.

Sorry,iit was Gary Player not Lee Trevino

Thanks to all the posters.I thinks LIB hit the nail on the head.For the majority of those who managed Thistle,that was the PINNACLE of their career

If fitness is an issue then we’re unlikely to see any benefit from a new regime for a few weeks.If anything performances are likely to drop off until the changes take effect .Only going by my own experiences of increased training routines.Used to be knackered for a couple of weeks.

Did Archie shag your wife Sabbath? Your hatred of the man is truly staggering.

Welcome to Firhill Gary and Brian (see I’m on first name terms already) Unlike some I actually think he has some very good players to work with.Time will tell.

Was J MAC a success at DU?
