The Scottish Cup. Our last hope of silverware this year.

Nothing to see here. The comments are only those from patients from Leverndale mental hospital. Its like the infinite number of monkeys with typewriters, at some point one will get the correct answer "Owen Coyle"

Ah the last bastion of the hopeless. Blame the Ref.

McCall out McCall out McCall out McCall out McCall out McCall out McCall out McCall out Todays performance summed up an nutshell. Clueless, without the capability to motivate or inspire any type of performance. Jim Goodwin was heard to say "at least I'm not as bad as that dick at Maryhill". but what of the other pigeons Archibald and the other dick taking a wage out of the club. As supposed assistant managers when presented with the team sheet, never laughed as told McCall "I right"

Jeff Beck - A Day In The Life (Live at Ronnie Scott's)

Just turned on the news, Jeff Becks gone. What an influential guitarist, on the same stage as Hendrix, Page & Clapton. To say he would be missed would be the understatement of the year. Another hero from my past steps over to the other side. RIP JEFF BECK

Morton boy made a right arse of his defensive duties

McCall generally has a good eye for talent. The English accent gave Archie a stonner, they played a few games then fell into obscurity. The pool of players we have should pump this league, and there is the rub. McCall or any of the other assistant pigeons, can motivate, organise nor inspire what we have to greater heights. as for "the best since Bertie". That in itself is a mouthful and highlights just how low our expectations have become. Out with the old firm and of course Queens, everyone else are also rans, who we should be beating. As a Jag is it beyond comprehension to be consistently competing in Europe. Stand back, and the smelling salts for those who thought the Archie years contributed anything positive. Raise the bar FFS. Mon the jags.

It is a sad story and a true accident. I feel that Shanks may be taken well out of context here. Deaths are few and far between and players don't enter the field with the intention of killing, more a case of must win at all cost attitude to the game. My understanding of the shanks is you go into a tackle giving 100% no quarter given nor taken. that's the way to win, and I have no doubt James Main would have agreed with Shankly.

Who gets to sing "you're just a wee team from Glasgow"? Its not just a must win but a six pointer. This game is an indication of our intent for promotion. I would expect a three goal cushion. by expect what I mean is I will accept nothing less. No pressure then

Defence has No protection from the midfield because their hopeless with no confidence nor belief in themselves. Don't appear to have a right back all the opposition have to do is cross the ball from the left over the centre to the righthand side then just score. McCall killed our season with the Falkirk game where he publicly announced he didn't care for that competition. we have never been the same since. Thistle playing with a "Backyann" this is how far we have fallen. Must avoid relegation at all costs. Feel now Owen would laugh in our faces if we chapped QPs door.

Talked about this for the past couple of weeks, Cardle must be taken out to give us a chance. And it certainly looked like Docherty went in studs a flying. If Cardle was old school, he would have just marked his card and stayed on the field and Docherty would have walked. If McCall had a plan to stop Cardle all well and good. Old school tells us when you go in yer man's off to the hospital with no chance of playing on as you have an early bath.

Another good man down. Brilliant showman guitar played simple. although his illness was known it's still a shock Rest in peace if for Wilko thats possible. God Bless.

McCall put all his eggs in the one basket with Bannigan who is not a ball winner, not creative in possession, devoid of attacking vision, no positional awareness, lacks strength and confidence in the middle of the pitch being easily bullied. With that being said he`s still better than Docherty that's how bad we are. And its McCall's failure to identify the midfield failings that has spotlighted his own managerial failings. As for a new manager both the Lennons nay danger. Ross at Sunderland had almost the biggest budget of all the teams in the league at that time combined and failed. No more Jobs for the boys

Its only in times like this and you look back and realise just how good Nazareth were and Dan as the frontman was. The voice and his smile will be sadly missed. Love and respect Rest in peace.

Simples. Just ask Queens Park for permission to speak to their manager. Or alternatively wait until the start of next season and ask for me, by that time I`ll be looking for a nice wee easy job and the chance to drink at the "jobs for the boys well"

There is no doubting McCall ability in spotting talent. It's his managerial qualities that are in question. His time at Ayr is not an accurate reflection because without Shankland they struggled. He clearly is incapable of identifying problems and resolving them. Those who occupy the same dugout are a clear case in point, Archiebald was brought back to curry favour with the support after the disgraceful way Kris Dollan was mistreated. The "jobs for the boys" attitude will destroy the club. Thistle are not now the only "nice wee cuddly alternative" in town. Queens Park have kicked our ar@e twice, they won promotion on a pitch McCall used as an excuse. they have real ambitions. I mentioned McCall was the wrong man for the job when he was appointed with the caveat that once he was in, we would be stuck with him. Are we going to wait until the Kelty game. more money down the drain.

I retire next year so I will be looking for a "Jobs for the boy's" less stressful position that Thistle seem to promote. 25 years successful management throughout Scotland. 10 years as a trouble shooter " If Somethings broken Sabbath gets it sorted". My aim is to play regularly in Europe without the help of a Ukraine war. To win the champions league with a team from local lads from a thirty-mile radius of Maryhill before I am seventy. Without ambition we`re F@#ked, you just have to look at the present bench to see what I mean. Don't delay next September Sabbath for manager.

The great thing about a season ticket is I don't feel guilty in missing a game. I would predict that from the kick off we will let Dundee come on as we do every other team and wait for the inevitable. There is no cohesion to our play, no method or direction, the only tactic we have is only to say to the team "go out and play lads". There is no inspiration or motivation from the bench this is not my idea for an entertaining afternoon. Sadly, I will miss the karaoke down the Castle, but that will be a small price to pay for giving up today's game. I pray that the wheels come off the Dundee bus and they don't turn up. I will gladly sit in a darkened room chewing on some tinfoil for ninety minutes and pray for a win.

McCall is a good spotter of talent, as a manager he is clueless. I am happy for him to step aside for a proper manager, but if he is not content with that then F@#k off. Archibald took over from someone who built a team for him, he then subsequently ran the team into the mire. John lambie kept his pigeons in a coup, McCall keeps his pigeons on the staff. Archie F@#k off along with super Scally. This is not a case for going up its a fight to stay in this league. As always Thistle leave it too late. We have a squad that should walk this league and challenge for a European spot. If this is not our aim then we should just close the doors and shut up shop.

Brian Grahams got to score 4 goals to get us a draw. Owen Coyle on "Under the Cosh" for those interested in what a proper manager looks like. Never mind our top Scout is at the wheel.

Never mind the competition. I don't rate McCall. Thistle will be lucky to reach the playoffs. As always Thistle wait until the last horse has bolted before we react. Give him a job as coach and for god's sake punt Archibald, don't want left with that clown...................Give Owens door a wee chap.

Last week's game was postponed so we had time to prepare for the mighty Cove, and again we witness McCall's ability as a manager. Grabbing virtual defeat from the jaws of victory. When the team was cruising along, McCall decided in his greater wisdom to upset the complete rhythm of the team by throwing on 3 like for like substitutions at the one time. this more or less stopped the game for us and let cove into a game that should have been out of sight. I now realise why our bench is so silent during games, it's clearly because they are clueless, devoid of motivation or inspiration they sit in silence and watch as 3 points almost dissolved to 0. Give McCall a post as a scout, there is no doubting his ability to spot talent. He just cant manage...

Watch the players off the ball, Smith is very dodgy, doesn't have a football brain.

Condolence's to the family. Really sad for a boy with such talent.....
