  1. Most of what you post is quite entertaining.

     

    However, what's your view on this?

     

    Was privileged to be there in 1971 - and with each increasing year I realise how privileged I have been to have witnessed that.

     

    But - yesterday's tactics aside - why cannot our current generation of fans have the same expectation? If it's been good enough for Gretna, ICT, Dross and Livingston, three of whom didn't even exist the last time we made a major final, then why not us?

     

    We continually play this wee team, no money, can only pay so much mentality. And yet clubs with less of a base than we have had have achieved so much more in cup competitions this century.

     

    As Norge said - when is it our turn?

     

    It's our 3rd season back in the top division, and we're hardly world beaters. We've never been a club that can have any assumption of reaching finals and never will be. It would be a massive bonus if we do get 'our turn', and we might if we have a bit of form and a bit of luck with the draw. This borderline entitlement stuff is repellent. What team do you think you support?

  2. We'll play 7 at the back at Tynecastle if today was the example.

     

    3 central defenders

    2 full backs

    2 holding midfielders

     

    First time we've played that system and it will probably be the last. We've played 2 up front before and it didn't work. It's easy to criticise, harder to find a solution

  3.  

     

     

    We can only go by what the press says, unless someone knows Archie personally or he comes out and denies it. Celtic are going to strengthen in January, so they could ship him out. Personally I am against loan signings from teams in the same division.

     

    A guy at my work told me we're getting Jordan Rhodes on a free. Until Archie comes out and denies it, it's definitely true.

  4. 'The Hoff explains Partick support'

     

    Sorry, but 'Partick'? I'd hope the BBC would know better. Why can't they realise we're not called effing 'Partick'!? I don't remember seeing any reports on 'Aston' without Villa being attached. It's unacceptable. Infuriating! <rant over>

  5. It was an excellent result

    Cerny and Bannigan both mom for me that save from Cerny so important

    Bannigan just excellent

    Booth great

    Welsh best game possibly never trying

     

    These were nearly great Abdul, Dan and Liam but

    For Abdul you are immense fitness second to none but please practice shooting at goal almost every time he could have a shot almost passes always but just have a shot

    Dan and Liam so solid but please just be a bit less heart in mouth stuff with some slack passing

    Realise that I am being overly picky there

     

    Unfortunately I didn't think Muirhead or Amoocontributed that much Amoo has so much pace but he is poor with chances - jury is really out on me whether he should be getting a new contract I have to say at this stage no

     

    Pogba to me was brought in to score the chance he had at the end but headed it over the bar,sorry but really think we can do better.

     

    Now Lawless is a fantastic player and I hope signs a new contract but I thought by his standards that was one of his poor performances of the season

     

    But despite my overly critical analysis well done to this group of players and Archie for incredible run of results.

     

    Biggest disgrace today was Ryan Stevenson a Partick Thistle player but rather than go support his team mates and paid employees went along to support Killie - absolutely disgusted at that and should be fined

     

    Pretty sure Stevo's not a Killie fan!

  6. I wouldn't want Archie to leave, even if we finish bottom. I have no idea why people expect Thistle to stay in the top flight comfortably. We have no budget. We just don't have the resources when you consider we can't come close to competing with the wages on offer at Killie, Ross County, Motherwell ie. clubs that struggled last season.

     

    I'd also be happy enough supporting us in the Championship. The main thing is keeping the club's long-term future and to keep the youth system growing.

    Archie has done an unbelievable job. He's not perfect but he's the manager of Partick Thistle, so of course he isn't.

    I don't buy this stuff about 'taking the club to the next level' either. Be careful what you wish for - 'expectation is the root of all suffering'.
