  1. This is ridiculous. What has Craigan done in the game as a manager? Nothing. What has McGhee done? Failed at several clubs. Canning? Took over a high-flying team and dragged them into a relegation fight. Hartley is currently managing a bigger club than Thistle (sorry) and would have zero desire to join us, even if we could afford him, which we can't. He's done nothing exceptional as a manager either, unless you consider winning the Championship exceptional. Which is exactly what Archie did for us. Archie has kept us in the top division under dwindling crowds while losing his best players and managing one of the smallest budgets in the league. You don't have a clue, mate.
  2. 1) What are your expectations as a fan of Partick Thistle? 2) What would you consider to be an acceptable position in the league for us to finish? 3) If we achieved that position, would the same position be acceptable the following season? 4) Where do you think is the cut-off point for a Jags manager is, ie. what game/decision/moment made you believe that Archie is not good enough to be our manager?
  3. Classic Thistle, pulling a result like that out the bag when nobody dared predict it. Well done to the players and management - fantastic.
  4. So your saying opposition doesn't matter, just points? OK.
  5. . Slovenia have done nothing in this campaign. 13 points for 9 games in a weak group. Slovakia just lost 1-0 at home to Belarus. I can't imagine a result like that ever happening to Scotland.
  6. Comparable? Competitive Scotland wins under Craig Levein: Liechtenstein H (2-1, last-minute winner), Liechtenstein A (1-0) Lithuania H (1-0). Competitive Scotland wins under Gordon Strachan: Croatia A (1-0) Macedonia A (2-1) Croatia H (1-0) Georgia H (1-0) ROI H (1-0) (plus Gibraltar H & A)
  7. Reactionary in the extreme. Archie's achievements have earned him the opportunity to try to turn it around. He's seen his best players leave every season. If we do go down, then so be it but I don't understand how another (available) manager could do a better job under the circumstances. Archie in.
  8. I'm disappointed by how tokenistic the segment was. It had no structure or purpose. It was just 'here's that mascot who folk talked about on Twitter'. Why bother?
  9. Scotland were pish against Ireland in the previous game as well. Whatever bubble we had has burst.
  10. Nothing happened. They didn't even have any jokes prepared.
  11. 5 foot 8 isn't too short for a footballer - Barcelona seem to manage OK. For the record, Dools and Lawless are both shorter than Mustapha.
  12. "Have heard that his attitude and petulance is ruffling a few feathers at Firhill." Did you really hear this? Who from?
  13. Agreed. It's more likely that Archie felt Wilson would be a better choice with 10 men. Can't help but feel that stories about his bad attitude have been just invented by someone.
  14. Bbc's season preview says we'll struggle along with Hamilton as other teams have strengthened and we haven't. They also omit Abdul from our 'typical' starting 11.
  15. We'll sign another striker before the window shuts. In the meantime, I really hope Stevo doesn't start up front against Hamilton.
  16. What are you basing us signing Miller on? Absolutely nothing?
  17. They won a glorified training exercise. Who cares?
  18. Haven't seen him play, but is Duggan really going to be good enough for a chance in the first team? He didn't make any impact in lower league Scottish football, at least in terms of goalscoring.
  19. What's the point in anything, eh?
