Auld Jag

Iwas thinking we would have to move.

They werent particularly friendly yesterday

Why not?If our board dont come up with some creative ideas to make up for the shortfall.We might be told the only option is to sell Firhill.

Now that we are losing the rugby and we are hoping to stay full time will we see a for sale sign on all of Firhill and not just the bing.

I am not griping merely asking what others thought.As he says himself the answer he gave at the meet the board night wasnt accurate.Imo he could have answered the question accuratly.

I am a bit suprised that no one else has mentioned this.But after reading David Beatties programme page yesterday there are a few things that i am unsure about.Our chairman now says that he knew of the break out clause with the Warriors but as we had not heard anything from the Warriors he didnt want to cause speculation.Why did he not say yes there is a break out clause but we have heard nothing from the Warriors? He also says that this will cause a hole in our budget of about £200K i thought the figure was about £100k ? Anybody else got any toughts on theese points?

Sorted that for you DP

I dont think we will win the league.But imo this away form puts pressure on our home games, If we were to lose next week how many of us really think we will get anything at Dens.I know Dundee are poor at the moment but before today Raith hadnt won in about 5 matches.If we dont sort the away form out soon we will be getting closer to the bottom of the league.

1pt away from home since Jackie became manager we really have to improve.

Raith score after 31mins.

I have already said in another thread we need to sort our away form out.1pt away from home since Jackie took over.

Jackie has picked up some promising players from other teams and we are doing well at Firhill apart from the Berwick game,but away from home we have only got 1pt since he became our manager.This is something we have to sort out and if we can then maybe we can put in a challenge.But a couple of bad results in a row and we could be down near the bottom again.

Since McNamara became manager we have picked up just 1pt away from home.This has to improve as it means we cant afoard to drop many pts at Firhill or we are in trouble.

Thought a draw was a fair result.But for Fox sake with a bit of luck it would have been a win. Hopefully that is Foxs last mistake for a while as i feel it would be to much to throw Scully in at the momement.Imo in our first 3 league games we could be unbeaten with between 3and5pts as there has been nothing between us and the opposition.A victory a must next week.

What has happened to our promising young players? Nowhere to be seen at the moment.

Doesnt say much for us then.

Teams who go down can point to games like our last 3 where they should have taken something from them but lost them all.4 defeats in a row now, we cant afford for it to continue.Imo we need at least 4pts out of our next 2 games or we are in trouble.Apart feom Ayr there is no other team who i would say will finnish in the bottom2.We need to stop the rot now.

We dont want to make it 4 dedeats in a row. What has happened to Fraser? He is just not getting a chance this season at all.

The worry for me is,if we dont stop losing soon i dont think our manager would be able to stop it.Usually there are a few teams who we should expect to finnish above but this season i feel the only team we should expect to finnish above is Ayr apart from them i dont really see any other as a stand out who might finnish in the bottom 2.So we dont want to find ourselves detached.I know it is early days but we want to turn this around urgently.

What are the odds for us giving away a penalty for the fourth game in a row?

Imo Doolan is a shadow of the player he was last season.But lets hope he can get a goal and that kick starts his season.What has happened to Fraser?Not even on the bench.In fact most of our promising young players dont seem to be getting much of a chance so far this season.

We had most of the play and deserved to go one up and we could have added at least one more before they scored.But when they equalised with what was one of their first shots on goal we just fell out of it.After Paton was sent of we had some pressure but when we didnt get anything we fell away again and once they went 2 1 up we never looked like coming back.What a familiar story it is losing a game from a winning position.But when we go behind we rarely get anything.The next month or so is a very important time for our team.I know the season is just starting but it is time for everyone at Firhill to show what they can do.If we have a similar start to the league as we had last season i dont see us getting out of it this time.

The EPL has millions coming in but they have even more going out,mostly because of imo anyway vastly over paid and over rated so called superstars. If i remember correctly they have if not the biggest total debt in the world they are in the top 3. When the billionares that bankrole the top clubs find another interest this league will implode and a lot of clubs will really struggle to survive imo.

Although our young keeper had a few nervous momements yesterday we still kept a clean sheet and imo this was because our defence played well more of this next season and we will do alright.Also if we can get our away form to be good at the same time as our home form is good we should be up there.

i would not be unhappy if Jackie McNamara got the job as he has done a reasonable job so far.But initialy i would only give him a 1 year contract with an option to extend it depending how well we are doing.If he wanted longer i think we should thank him for what he has done and look elsewhere.
