stoney jag

Is he not older than Archie - bit short term is it not??

FFS you mentioned Culter again Grimlock! Surely ancient history by now. Give Balatoni some more backing guys - was not so long ago we used to watch Wille K through the gaps between our fingers

Good shout mate I would say, my boy was the mascot in the home game v Dundee and he vas very vocal. Apart from him Paul Cairney is the only other obvious shout for me! Certainly not Scott Fox..........good keeper but he is sooooooooooo quiet!!

Likewise mate thought he was really good as was Archie on Saturday - why are both getting pelters? Has anyone looked at the goals against column in the league table - i would suggest the issues are still at the other end and we should be scoring more goals FFS archie is a Jags legend and Balatoni for a guy on a loan gives 100% to the cause lets forget about Culter now - its done with!

With you mate - we have a great stadium compared to some souless shitholes i have been to over the years...

ach well the Aberdeen job will be coming up soon as they go for someone younger!

Well we cant be having that can we...

Are you upsetting the natives Grimlock??? What will happen when Aberdeen do go down and play Thistle next season (unless of course we pip the League title!? Will you loyalties be divided?!!

Thought our ambition was to get back into the SPL??!! If we do we would need a ground the size of Firhill. Where would you suggest we build a new ground not that its is going to happen?!

Sorry, disagree, we already have two sides of the ground 'empty' so to have a third empty to me makes for a worse atmosphere! We have had some good away supports this season, Celtic, Dundee and Falkirk all brought good numbers although Livi certainly did not Think if we want kids and families to continue to come along etc think the present set up is the best way. Kids get their own area and away from any away fans and any issues that possibly brings with it. Finances are important but should we not be looking at ways to attract more fans and boost revenue rather than looking just at cost-cutting all the time??

Have we really been creating lots of chances and missing them.. not so sure about that? Yes the strikers need to step it up but have felt from Day 1 this season we need a creative midfielfer who can open up a defence regularly Rowson is a tidy passer yes and Hutton can hit a pass but mainly of a square nature and anyway he goes back to Rangers soon,Cairney has had a really good season to date but he is a different kind of player and after that think we lack that type of player. Do we all agree and if so who perhaps can we bring in come January?

My preferred team would be if all fit for tomorrow Scott Fox Paul Paton Robertson/Balatoni Archie Aaron Sinclair O,Donnell Hutton Rowser Cairney Erskine - just let him play behind Doolan - up and down we know but best man for the job still IMO Doolan Subs Scully Elliott Robertson/Balatoni Dargo Campbell I would not have Stewart in the 16 nor Bannigan if all are fit Guess however one or two will miss out hence they may figure. But if we 3 points they can Hinchey in goal for all I care!

God, real inspiring stuff ahead of Saturday, cant wait now for my 2 hour drive from the NE on Saturday ahead of the Livi game. Maybe I will take the boy Xmas shopping instead! Nah....I be will there. We really need the points now but the goals have dried up and confidence still seems low from what I have seen. Looks like another mid table season at best after high hopes in October! Maybe time to shake the team up - seems to be too many 'shoe - ins' - whats the news with any potential signings in Jan window?? Cheers to all!

Doubt it mate, the money will be reinvested in the business. I stay near Aberdeen and used to work for ASCO but in fairness he put some of his own cash in previously and having met him personally he is a proper Thistle Fan. I heard a rumour his house up here was up for sale in the summer and he was returning to the West of Scotland but that has proved unfounded. On a another note hope you all enjoyed the Culter replay - the first game was like a "home match" for me, twenty mins fron the house. God did i feel sorry for you guys who had travelled from Glasgow - really was awful!

:) :) Ach get off the boy's back! At 20 he is just a boy and still learning. He has probably due to injuries to WK and SR had to play more than perhaps the manager would have wanted Compared to other loan signings we have had he has a good attitude and decent abilty, confidence seems a bit low at times and needs yet to be more decisive but had he not basically "slipped " for the goal (watch the highlights if you were not there on Sat)doubt if this thread would have been started. Plenty other guys let the team down on Saturday but to pick almost solely on a 20 year old boy is not right. Hope he gets a chance along with the others to redeem himself!

Ach dry your eyes, the club did not need to do anything, they already offer decent value against other grounds and they are only trying to get more bums on seats in the lead up to Xmas. An expensive time for every household! They should be backed to the hilt on this - bring a mate along or work colleague with kids if its really such an issue!

Believe me it will cost you less at £17 than taking two kids to the game even at a tenner at the gate! The club know what they are doing but lets get them credit, they try really hard with familes and kids and other clubs should take note So should all the idiots who were complaining about the prices for the Culter replay. The cup is an exception and the club dont fully control the pricing hence kids are a fiver! £1 less than at Culter I should add and lets be fair far better facilities....

Cant see it being 6 based on what we saw on Saturday and also in other recent games but am sure it will more comfortable. It wasnae very good on Saturday but the abuse the players took at full time was rather brutal and a bit OTT. Confidence is low just now but was this not the same starting 11 bar one that started the season playing some great stuff against a Celtic X1 worth a few more bob than anybody we will play this season??!! Think the team need the fans behind them and Jackie Mac needs at least a full season to be properly assesed... Stick with it guys and keep the faith!
