Yellow & Redneck

Mine took about 20-25mins to come through.

Mikael Mandron? Seems to have been rumoured at every window over the past 10 years.

Not a problem. It wasn't condescending enough to understand the first time around, so I'm glad you included an edit.

Such as?

Would still like to see another wide player added.

This team are known to be absolutely hopeless at causing upsets. So, that's an incredible result. That was a masterclass of an away performance, and credit to Dools and the rest of the team. Absolutely fantastic!

McGuigan came through the university team at Edinburgh. To put a damper on it, we tried years ago to bring students and Freshers to Firhill and it failed pretty miserably. It's not a long term solution in any case. Students are only on campus around 25 weeks of the year and tend to return home when their 4 years are over.

Unfortunately he's turned into a jobby that just won't flush.

Bannigan lucky to still be on the pitch. An absolute liability. Diving into tackles on a yellow card.

Hopeless so far. Hoping so see some of our new additions in the second half - hardly a point of keeping them on the bench.

Fair play to Morton. Absolutely emasculating us out there. They are being strong and physical and our wee shitebags can't get to grips with it.

Hopeless so far. No fluidity whatsoever! Defence is a shambles yet we persist with the same back 4.

I'm wondering what the transfer strategy is. I know that Stewart's confirmation hasn't come in, but have Stewart and McBeth been signed to come straight into the side? It's not just the depth of the squad that has been the issue, but rather the starting XI. Would like to see guys coming in who can go straight into the team and improve us rather than just filling a place on the bench.

He's a better goalkeeper, but he's not a title winner (hence we finished 4th last season). Mitchell is a bang average Championship keeper.

Sneddon and Mitchell are both mediocre goalkeepers, and are certainly not title winning. However, unlike Gallagher and Hinchcliffe before him, Kenny Arthur inspires no confidence in developing young keepers. The very idea of Arthur instructing Cerny was quite frankly embarrassing. I was almost certain that Arthur was moving on, and thought that would have presented an opportunity to bring something fresh to the coaching department.

Win is a win and now solidified that 3rd place spot (don't see us finishing any higher or lower). Hopefully add a couple more to the squad and bed them in for the play-offs. Also got the small matter of a Scottish Cup tie against a poor County team.

Happy enough with that signing. Even if it doesn't work out, I'd still rather we looked at younger players from the Juniors rather than pish English League Two journeymen. Playing in the juniors, I'm hoping he's a bit of a *******. I really hope this is the beginning of a comprehensive and cohesive recruitment strategy as opposed to a hodgepodge of Archibald-like panic signings.

Dowds at the double for Ayr. That's 4 in 6. Clear to see why Doolan doesn't fancy him...

Wait until the 95th minute to bring Adeloye on? Sums up the tactical genius that is Kris Doolan. Thistle's cheap option looking more and more bang average.

What a rotten team and PPV stream.

That was f-ing terrible. What the hell is Doolan telling his players. Non-stop punt balls up the pitch to absolutely nobody. Our midfielders (apart from Lawless) are utter s-bags, who want to take no ownership of the ball. They just want to get rid of it as soon as possible. Absolutely turgid stuff. Get your head out of your arse Dools and actually give the players a strategy to follow. At the moment you look absolutely tactically inept.

One of the main reasons Sneddon hasn't improved can be summed up by one simple question: what the hell does Kenny Arthur know about being a good goalkeeper? That's more jobs for the boys pish right there. Paul Gallacher was a great coach and even better player. Funnily enough, under his direction, Scott Fox played some of the best football of his entire career. I wouldn't class this season as a rebuild. A rebuild insinuates that a core or spine already exists, and it's a case of trying to add and figure out what works. This season's recruitment has been a hodgepodge of English League 2 and permanently injured pish! Very similar to Archibald's time. Take a punt on whatever rubbish an agent is trying to offload. There seems to be no coherent direction or strategy that underpins what we are building for long term. As a result we have an unbelievably unbalanced squad in terms of depth and style. Similar to Archibald, Doolan is still almost completely dependent on signings made by the previous manager (Graham, Lawless, McMillan, Milne). However, just like almost every manager other than Caldwell, he is still overly loyal to certain player(s) who are well and truly past their best

A bag of absolute shite. Can't pass a ball to save ourselves. Useless!

Doolan has assembled a pretty miserable team this season. The defence is an utter shambles.

That's the problem though. It's being run by people whose egos are more important than doing what is best for the club. Being a fan isn't qualification enough to run the club.
