  1.  

    Daft comments on twitter and Facebook.

     

    Erskine showed a bit of class when he left us, Paton didn't. Simple a that.

     

    I never had a problem with Paton Ian, I hear he may have been a bit cheeky on Facebook and/or Twitter but that doesn't bother me. He was a good player for us and he always seemed very passionate and committed when he played for us.

  2. Good stuff. I feel really optimistic about the future health of the club on the playing side, even if we get relegated, especially with the generosity of the Weirs in setting up the youth academy and the King of Spain in overall charge of youth development. The club just need to get the scouting side of things sorted ASAP.

  3. I mean look at our team, they are a bunch of kids trying to learn top flight football as they go along, I know Archie and Shaggy are on the training ground and the touch line during games but they can't cross the line with them during match days.

  4. Exactly what I was thinking Alan. Was going to post something similar but I couldn't put into words my thinking on Balatoni. I wouldn't necessarily disagree with dropping him from the starting eleven for a few games but I still think he has the potential to become a very good Premier League defender. After all, I remember thinking he was a bombscare in Division 1 but he eventually became one of that division's top centre backs.

  5. We will only be able to tell if he's a good signing when he has played a few times for us. I feel optimistic about it though. Thistle have the youngest and most inexperienced starting XI in the league and they are doing fantastically well so far but our young band of brothers need an experienced player or two in there to help and guide them through this first season back in the top league

  6. Foxy's a very good keeper with the potential to grow into an outstanding one but it might be good for the team to bring in Gallacher for a while just to see if all that experience he has would be helpful. As I have said elsewhere on the forum this morning, our team is just so damn young and inexperienced, perhaps having an old hand like Gallacher could help the boys out!

  7. Just looking at mhs and Stewarts suggested line ups and it is really striking how young and inexperienced our team is. We badly need at least one, probably two, experienced leader type players to help along our team and talk them through when they see mistakes developing and when games start to turn against us. Such a blow in this regard that Osbourne is out.

  8. Thistle are going to finish 10th you bunch of panic merchants. As far as I am concerned we took a hiding today off a team that I predicted would finish 3rd in the Premier League before the season started, it was a bad day but onwards and upwards.

  9. The one time I was in the shop the staff were nice and helpful so not all of them are ignorant and unhelpful ie the young lad that was doing his best to help you with the tops. Having said that, there is no doubt that when you look at the overall picture the shop is a total and utter joke, even more so for a top flight club.

     

    I don't know what the arrangement is or even if the club can exert any pressure on the shop to improve product availability and customer service?

  10. Absolutely brilliant and everyone played well. Back 4 terrific with O'donnel and ATS bombing forward and getting behind the County defence. Lawless took his 2 goals well and was a constant menace. Absolutely nothing wrong with Higginbothams goal and he looks a good signing. I wouldn't change the starting line-up for the Hearts game. If this is a taste of the rest of the season then we are in for a brilliant year. Support although not huge was very vocal and really got behind the team despite the stewards trying to spoil the fun. Players appreciated the fans at the end and Fox in particular looked over the moon. Just a great time to be a Thistle fan.

     

    Agree with all this. What a terrific performance, Thistle looked very sharp and dominated the game apart from a wee 10 minute spell before and after the County goal. It's not an exaggeration to say the scoreline flattered the opposition. Also I would like to add Dools was excellent, great to see him get off the mark this season.
