It's the typically OF attitude. Hate the other team more than you love your own team.
Club released a statement saying Celtic fans will be refused entry. I don't much like the club's approach to these games but that's about all they can do when offering tickets for sale online. Suggesting fan registration at the start of the season, having to go to Firhill for tickets, showing yer Thistle tattoo to get a ticket are all daft ideas when clubs are desperate to attract more punters.

Weather is not an excuse …. for either side, but the smart manager will field a team prepared for what should be utterly sh*t football weather.
Could play right into our hands, we've shown a real aptitude for playing utterly sh*t football at times this season.

I'd take Erskine over De Vita any day of the week. Preferably Saturday.

The wind was pretty wild at points on Saturday. Very easy to judge the flight of the ball, commit yourself, a gust makes you look silly and it's a certain goal. (not an excuse, but maybe a part of a reason).

Let it bounce off you in the full knowledge that you serve a higher purpose. Certain joys are not available to these people.

Is that a step up or step down from a bowling club ?
It's more steps and about the same amount of balls. If you play like I do!

Looking forward to wading through another 200 pages of middle aged peacocking and whataboutery in order to find a couple of relevant or constructive posts. You guys need to find a golf club committee to sit on.

I've never believed that players dont try or are *shite* at professional level. Some are simply not good enough for our aspirations at the time ( insert league to suit ). Then again I didn't actually see the game on Saturday otherwise I may be a little more animated!
I have two words for you. Adam Barton.

My main concern with fan ownership is - the fans.
Ideally you have successful and intelligent business people, breaking even, making unemotional decisions and ignoring the illogical emotional rants of football fans. Colin Weir is one such fan. We thanked him, we fawned over him, we named a stand for him (which was madness). Then there was one potential decision he did not like so he used his emotions, pulled funding directly impacting hundreds of kids and adults and shut down all communication. Like a child.
Currently the board has a track record in business success. They are fans. They have put in £ and time which is £ lost from their personal lives. Much more than Colin Weir has ever done. He got lucky in a lottery. Dealing with the boring detail and avoiding ridiculous PR BS like previous people.
Colin Weir has turned into a populist power broker offering up £ like a benevolent saint. As long as he gets his own way (while taking no responsibility).
You've said this is your problem with fan ownership, then just detailed the potential danger in ownership by a single entity.

I think we looked more organised in the first half, but last night seemed to show up that we're incredibly weak in a few positions. I think we have probably 6 or 7 of a first 11 who are capable, but they can't make up for the likes of Gordon, Mansell and Williamson.

Haven't read the thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating anything.
Anyone think that Sunday's events may have pushed this decision?
Would have been nice, as that would show an intention for us as a club going forward, but I think the next statement might reveal more to it.

You can be forgiven for trying to erase August out of existence.

I wonder how we'd be in a worse position with O'Ware, Bannigan, Erskine and Doolan in the starting lineup.
My worry is the state of us when Caldwell eventually does get emptied. It could be an irretrievable mess.
-
Most of this thread is complete nonsense, but I think we might have hit the pinnacle if we're suggesting that removing the funding from a youth academy will make it better.

I really feel now we are getting more width in the squad that playing 3-5-2 is counter productive. Problem is we don't have defensive quality in the full back area. Williamson & Robson are impressive going forward and both appear to be able to put in very decent quick cross balls. Neither can defend. Penrice is less of a liability as an orthodox full back but still more suited to getting down the flanks. Ideally Saunders could just move across to right back but by most accounts he's not too clever in that role. Perhaps a remedy would be two holding midfielders covering wider than normal but that's verging on the negative side of things, tho' not much different than playing three centrebacks who rarely cross the halfway line.
Any views on that? I think we saw some real decent football at times tonight mostly going forward but even against lower league opponents the signs of frailty in defence were clearly evident.
I think we lack a true defensive midfielder who knows how to cover the fullbacks when we attack.

Hampden pitch is having work done at the moment, unsure about Lesser though.

Alrighty then, straightforward enough, see everyone in this thread next week?

He was never really fully fit last season. Recovered and spoke about taking his chance to get back in the team, never got a chance under the current manager for whatever reason.

The irony is that you're banging on about the club being wrong in exercising their right to freedom of expression.

Thanks for the video CC, and thanks for everyone sharing memories. I enjoy reading this sort of thing. Shame that Scottish football lost so much here.

Analysis wouldn't tell us to shame the victims.

Really not buying into the argument that we shouldn't be supporting a large group just because some people are idiots.

I'm not saying we'll challenge, just that I'm excited to get the season started.
It's a good point you make, but there are 3 academy lads in, we've kept a very exciting player in Joe cardle and mansell has potential too. It's not all doom and gloom Paulo. There'll be more signings.
It'll be interesting, no doubt. Maybe my excitement is just slow in building....!
5 hours ago, Jag said:There are still two months left before the transfer window left. I think if you are comparing the squad to last season, it is only fair to do so at the same time as last season. We are way ahead where we were a year ago.
Only a couple of weeks until the games start though. Hindsight is a great thing, but the talk for this season was to get things done early in order to hit the ground running. I dunno, maybe the whole transfer business is as difficult as Archie made it look the last couple of pre-seasons

I see it as the exact opposite actually. Each player (maybe except Barjonas from all I know of him) has been signed to address a particular weakness in our starting 11.
