Has it not been said somewhere that the club will "rent" or "hire" the facility and that they won't own it directly?
Is it not the Weirs that own it?

Had us down for a defeat last week so not all bad but can't win them all. I should've went with my head and factored in more of the McKinnon element. Reassessing, and will be opting for more draws at home and away defeats. That looks like the best strategy.
Nobody cares!

Could someone in the know explain what process will be followed as regards the failure of the match officials to award such a blatantly obvious goal.
It is fully understood that in marginal situations where the ball hits the bar, bounces down near the goal line and spins out, there is the possibility of a wrong call being made and no blame should be attached, as it all can happen so quickly, without the opportunity for a second look.
But in this case, the Main Stand side linesman and the referee have clearly been asleep. Even the other linesman should perhaps have had the intelligence to intervene. My understanding is that there is no 4th official for Championship games, but there is a referee supervisor, who presumably would include such a major incident in his report. Where does it go from there and what action might happen? I would have thought at the minimum there would be a suspension from action for re-training in the basics.
It just seemed strange that the officials were so oblivious to the reaction of the Morton players, who initially resignedly accepted that a goal had been scored, and were fairly slow (although they did eventually cotton on) to get on the bandwagon of arguing that the ball had not crossed the line. Some elementary understanding of how football players react should surely be part of referee and linesman training.
Yes, the JHS linesman must have had a similar view to mine and it was clearly over the line. I do not know why he did not contribute.

Yes, fine with me.

It doesn't seem that long ago we were in the First Division with a squad we had put together with university students, lower league players, juniors and squad players from the top tier.
Not sure how that ended up?
Yes, we surprised a lot of people that season. It is also interesting to note that good number of those players are now playing at this level or lower.
If a few of this seasons squad play to their potential, all may not be lost. Slater, Penrice and Aidan all have shown a bit of class. If two or three others pitch in all may not be lost.
Lets try to be positive,
Regards, a happy clapper who has witnessed poorer squads and sadder times at Firhill than presently exist.

No need for my Zimmer. Definitely need my inhaler though. Lol
Having missed pre season we can probably expect to see you in 4-6 weeks.

At least Jai has been training with us for a while and should be fit enough to play,

Did anybody watch the documentary on the artist with WBA a few weeks ago? He interviewed a first team player who had 2 cruciate ligament operations and then a third one which he had to get a transplant from someone else to fix it. He still is a first team player for WBA
Unfortunately the transplant was one of Banzo's old ones.

According to wiki he has had a 6month injury followed by another 4 months out in the last 2 seasons but at least he would not be lonely on the physios room should he get crocked again.
Did Coulibaly recommend the club to him?
-
Sorry to lose Tam, he has shown a fair bit of promise this season. The Club have to move quickly to salvage this season (I know that ewe are only three league games in).

Any word on O'Ware, how bad did it look?

Just in case you missed it the reserve game against Ross County on Monday has been moved from Lesser Hampden to Firhill. Kick off is still 2pm and entry is free.
Archie explained in his interview prior to today's game that it has been moved so we can play Bannigan on a grass pitch.
Good news, I hope that he comes through it OK.

As a manager or as a player?
Player manager, with a two month probation release clause.

From Wikipedia (Match 2013). He is definitely a defensive midfielder.
"Ntambwe was sent off after 73 minutes of his third match, against Kortrijk, for a reckless tackle, having already been yellow-carded earlier in the game; Enzo Scifo attributed it to youthful enthusiasm which he needed to learn to control".
He seems to be able to dominate in the air and does not shirk a challenge.

According to Wiki, in May this year Coulibaly was ordered by FIFA to pay a fine of nearly $1,500,000 to his Egyptian club, because he simply walked out on them, breaking his contract.
Has he paid?
Here's hoping to God that Thistle don't end up involved in some legal and potentially expensive wrangle over this signing.
I would hope that our employment law connections, (and Gerry), would be able to assess any potential legal impediment to him signing. As stated elsewhere the "International Clearance" should let us know one way or another.

A new signing announced on official site
Unbelievable!

Any idea who the trialists are? (Or if they are potential reserve or first team signings?)
-
Sacking Miller before the compensation clause was triggered, coming shortly after Livi scrapping their Academy and youth system, seems to indicate extremely fragile finances at the Club.
You would have thought that this would be a pretty positive time for them, but it seems that being promoted may turn out to be pretty disastrous.

FromBBC Gossip page:
Former Kilmarnock striker Souleymane Coulibaly could land a move to Partick Thistle. The Ivory Coast international is a free agent and has been training with the Jags this week. (Scottish Sun)
I would be happy with this. By the law of averages I suppose the Sun are due to have one of their "Partick Thistle rumours" actually have some basis in fact.

Who is the club top scorer this season, Aiden?
