Yellow & Redneck

And that's it. Poor from Mitchell again. Beaten fair and square by a far fitter, better drilled, and better recruited side. Big decisions needed in the summer. Need to be ruthless in getting rid of the jobbers.

Fitzy had to slip the ball to Graham. Story of his season.

Blew it after a really positive start. Bannigan miles off it and popodom hands from Mitchell.

Season over. Another daft free-kick. Unfortunately you can see that Livi are streets ahead of us in every department.

Megwa showing every bit of his limited defensive ability there. A shame. It's been a game where Crawford has played like prime Iniesta.

BG and MW correctly identified Lenny Agbaire as the weak link in the Ayr defence. He was a bomb scare in the first leg.

Amazing. Apart from our coked up wee ***** fans. Take your stone island and f--k off.

Aaron Comrie would be a decent RB option. Surprised he's been released, but likely has something lined up.

One reason I actually like McBeth as a CM. Two or three times last night he was raging at the lack of options, so decided just to use those big strides and drive up the middle. Not dissimilar to McTominay.

I don't necessarily think Graham and Wilson's management is the main issue. I actually think we have slightly overachieved this season when you look at how utterly dreadful our recruitment and retention has been. That's on Doolan and the Board. I doubt Alex Ferguson could get much out of players as boring and unimaginative as Crawford or Bannigan. But the entire top end of the pitch is built around Graham with no Plan B. No competent striker wants to come and warm the bench for a season, so that completely limits our ability to change approach up the top end of the park. When our wide players are as utterly guff as they were tonight, you want a Gary Harkins-esq player in the middle of the pitch to give you that central option. But the issue is this - our starting midfielders tonight have a combined goal scoring record of FOUR goals all season. Our CM pairing have ZERO.

We could get hammered 5:0 in Ayr on Friday and Graham and Wilson will still get the job. Not necessarily because it's the cheapest option, but because it's the laziest option that requires least thought and foresight from the small group that actually hold power. Not giving BG the gig means that the Boardroom would actually have to spend their time working in sourcing a Coach, an Assistant Coach, as well as a new women's manager over the summer(doubt he will stick around). Why do that when you can take the easy option and appoint within? Transfers and free agent deals are all done months in advance of the summer window opening. If we had been sensible, we would have appointed a real manager after Doolan left to get us through the season and plan for next. Instead, we have David Brent as our DoF who was also appointed too late to really hit the ground running. Regardless of how BG and Wilson do, the Board aren't going to start looking for a new manager, regardless of the imaginary smoke and mirrors shortlist they talk to the media about.

In all reality, when you watch that, it was a miracle we finished 4th. An absolutely horrendously boring team to watch. Fitzy didn't find his own man all night. And the ever dependable O'Reilly was mincemeat. Not his fault. The club sold our best player, and signed a total diddy from Ross County who got injured. Unfortunately, it's a team without any spark or creativity. Don't see us turning the tie around. We will go with the cheap option and appoint Graham regardless in the summer, and still the same players will moap around next season.

Been coming. Lack of positivity on the ball.

Could see us going two full matches without a shot at goal. So feeble up the top end

A defensive masterclass. But we really do need to have more of a cutting edge if we even half half a chance in the playoffs.

Does anyone know if we have a fine coming for the pitch invasion? Having seen how Falkirk accommodated us when we won the league, the goading of their fans during the pitch invasion was absolutely tinpot. Bunch of moronic Stone Island bams.

And there we go. Can't get the ball away and Arfield in again. This season can't end quickly enough.

Hopefully the last we see of Bannigan in a Thistle shirt. Useless thug. Sold us up the river again.

Bannigan hasn't found his man once. And that left side of defence looks shaky under the high ball. But an open game.

Also another midfielder who doesn't score goals. Now even more likely

The squad is rubbish. We need to clear out most of them apart from... *Names almost the full squad.* No. Get rid of the fuc3k1ng lot. Especially Reid. Get rid of him twice. Waste of space.

Doolan is one of the main reasons. He signed absolute crap on ridiculous long term deals (i.e. Sawyers). Just like Archibald, he will never get a full time managers position ever again. Both him and our bowling club board full of absolute jokers have royally screwed us.

Absolutely sh1te again. Raith will pip us to 4th place now due to their win. No doubt about it. Absolutely nothing going forward. Easily the most boring Thistle side I can remember in a long long time. Crawford is an embarrassment of a footballer. Bryan Hodge without the odd screamer. Anyway, who is in for work experience in the Board Room this week? That's the Thistle news we all want. Tinpot amateurs.

With our remaining fixtures, this is our best chance of picking up 3pts. Nothing but a win will do.

Game management yesterday was completely the fault of Graham and Wilson. Players should have been hooked at HT, with Ablade getting a full 45mins. But the squad itself - that's the fault of Doolan and Co's unbalanced and scattergun approach to recruitment over the last two seasons. Absolutely no coherent strategy whatsoever which means we lack both pace and height in key areas. Not to mention an overabundance of carbon copy, copy and paste players that have no discernable attributes that make them stand out or offer anything different.
