Every job that everyone does is a means to an end. Mine included.
im convinced that Gary wants a bigger and better job one day and that’s good for thistle as we can get something from him
Don’t ask me how I know but I know.
isnt it better to support our own manager in the belief, hope and desire that he and his players bring success- something we can all enjoy ?
its easy to be skeptical, or have creeping doubt. It takes courage to believe and support
(btw he only spent one third of his January budget)

He gets a lot of mud slung at him on this forum, and regular accusations of arrogance, but for a young guy trying to make a career in an absolutely brutal and unforgiving industry, I for one am impressed at his openness and courage in putting himself out there. I think you have to respect that. I do anyway.

Are you related to the Manager ? , bit emotive “ hurts him deeply “ ?
He really was hurt deeply. He absolutely believes in this
-
He didn’t explain 352 but did say Cardle was unfortunate not to fit into that
-
Probably best to watch the video back but the impression I got was that things were better and good but far, far from perfect
By his own standards this is not good enough and it hurts him deeply

At the meeting the other night Caldwell said that he wanted to put opponents under pressure
“Good players cannot play under pressure and average players certainly can’t.”
he said that he and Kerso’s mantra is:
”Get to the ball”
looking forward to shouting this from the JH next season!!!
-
You know how on match day Gary Caldwell gives players 2 specific actions- one on the ball and one off it. Well Joe helps with that when he was injured AND when he was benched
this is what I meant about Joe’s mindset being even better than his excellent ability.
And now I sit back and await the calling out etc ....for daring to write something down in an electronic retrievable format. Note none of the above is opinion or relates to Caldwell or Doolan- it’s just a nice story about Joe being excellent

If your response to being called out on something you said is that you are 'being pestered' then perhaps you may wish to consider that posting on an internet forum may not be appropriate for your clearly fragile ego.
Anyway for the avoidance of all doubt, I wish you no harm as a fellow Jag. I just disagree with your view on the manner in which Gary Caldwell manages our football club.
And so, the problem is me and my fragile ego.
I shouldn’t post here unless I’m prepared for people to treat me in a way I don’t agree with
whats this the definition of?

I think that might be one for the mental health wellbeing clinic.
Just my tuppence worth, don't take comments too seriously, there are some posters on here who seem to delight in being controversial and getting into others ribs. I have bitten a few times and though at first was miffed have begun to enjoy the jousting. I think the secret is to just post what you want while expecting that sometimes you'll post drivel and others will be quick to rip the peesh. I suspect that you appear from your postings to have the ear of certain individuals within the club structure and are happy to share, there are some who will use that to rip the aforementioned peesh. All good fun if we are prepared to occasionally accept we might be a bit of an arse from time to time.
Agree with your cardle post, smashing attitude.
Thanks for that. I have no likes left otherwise I would have.
Theres two ways to have the biggest house in the street: 1 work hard, put in time and effort
2 Or smash everyone else’s house down

Just realised that there were no current Thistle players at the event last night ( technically maybe Skippy). It was also a night on behalf of a Jags legend who many folk felt has been harshly treated by the club. A lot of attendees are hardly going to be amongst GCs or the club’s decision makers biggest fans at the moment, or ever. That’s fair enough.
Personally when you consider GC was basing his decisions on the period he’s been at the club I can also see why he chose to move on the players he did.
Bottom line is the manager didn’t want Dools. I don’t know how the club could’ve sugar-coated that bitter pill? Clumsily done certainly. At least we’ll have the Testimonial match to cheer him one more time.
Agreed

Anyway
remember when Joe got injured and had to hobble off? He walked round and stood watching the rest of the first half from the tunnel
that tells you a lot about his excellent attitude
both he and Tam oware come in when injured to help out the others. So as I said at the start, a great player with a great attitude.
-
I appreciate the definition
so I post what I think
people call me out
then they pester me
then they say that if I don’t like it I shouldn’t post here.
whats that the definition of?
-
I don’t know what being called out means

GC and positive fan support definitely played a role in him staying
im told that even when injured or left out, he is in the dressing room encouraging others and cheering them on
GC thinks his mindset is his greatest asset
For posting this comment I’m considered a prize arse and being pestered and “called out”

I'm late to the discussions in any case.
But have you considered that poster you mentioned is being a prize arse?
im not being a prize arse.
once again check your facts and stop pestering me.
Just stating the facts as explained to me on a one to one face to face basis by Gary Caldwell

Caldwell appreciates McGinty’s madness/braveness of his forays forward with the ball!!!
so much so he’s saying “ oh look it’s big Franco Baresi” ..... not realising that the team are too young to know who Baresi is !!!! Ha ha

I went with ( believe it or not ) an open mind but came away with what I thought a manager who absolutely over analyses everything to the nth degree whether that’s time spent on the training ground ( to the very minute ) or blinding us with stats to fit his agenda to how a match has developed. I also had the impression he dehumanises our players to suit his mindset of what fits into his stereotypical view what a footballer should be (box ticking exercise )

I called you out on statements that you made re GC, quite properly.
If you consider that to be pestering you then so be it.
Maybe if you are not comfortable with scrutiny then maybe you shouldn't post?
Anyway out of respect to all posters, let's get this back to Joe Cardle.
A fine football player, whom as an ex-fullback I would not want to meet on a football park or anywhere else.
Yes you’re “calling out” and questioning me I consider pestering.
can you please leave me alone?
is that how it works that if I find your behaviour unsettling then I’ve to stop writing anything on this forum?

Kris didn’t want to retire from playing
Caldwell won’t play him
watch the video.

I don’t know if he was or wasn’t. But he was not going to play and Kris wanted to play

You’re going away from the topic.
And I keep saying, I don’t need think before I post , I just use facts.
