Good teams are greater than the some of their parts. Think 2012/13 team - where are some of the mainstays of that team now? Our current team is not a good team - there are individual players who look good in theory, but just don't add up to much. There is something fundamentally wrong, when a team consistently struggles to score - it is always at risk of being beaten for a whole host of reasons. Not sure what the answer up front is, but I know it's not Graham. Maybe Kouider-Aissa, maybe I'm clutching at straws...

Oh the irony...

I knew that Montrose is in Angus, I knew that Elgin is in Moray. I knew that Moray was in lower tier, therefore supporters are allowed in ground and as such didn't merit term used. I didn't know if it was level 1 or 2 and couldn't be bothered checking.
Back to post game chat.

Perhaps familiarise yourself with the level 2 rules currently in place in Moray before commenting.

Didn't watch today's game. What position was Penrice playing if Foster was at left back?

For me Michael Max's commententary sums it all up when he said that " although there were a few individual good performances, they just weren't playing as a team ". (paraphrased)
I agree. The combinations and link up play all seem so laboured....
Thought Lyons showed potential - would like to see an attacking mid three of Lyons, Spittal and Cardle.

Got in now. 5mins after kick-off. Only took 50 mins...

Tried Firefox - still gubbed

I get an error code on link 1. Link 3 looks more promising but bugger all happening. This is shit.

I can't get to work on laptop running Chrome or Edge

Anyone managing to get stream to work?
-
To be fair to the media volunteers, I think they're prioritising stream and video coverage.
-
When Penrice first broke in to the first team, his crossing and corners were really good, so hopefully something we'll see more of, if the team are on the front foot more often.

Much better in second half - formation and personnel change making the difference.
Thought the stream was mostly ok. Constructive feedback time - please get rid of the team names graphic that covers the screen before the game and at half-time. I'd much rather watch the teams warm up.
-
How unfortunate an incident that none of us will ever know the facts of becomes the main talking point. The internet really is a heap of shite sometimes.
It's none of our business.

I also never understood what the fuss about was with Fitzpatrick.

Doolan has left Morton.:. Asset for any squad in this league.
It's about looking forward and renewal now. Great guy but wouldn't want him back as a player.

Just a small point..but wish they would stop calling it the PTH family. I've been going to games for over 30 years...but its a football club so please just call it that
I agree. And this bit of the statement "But I ask everyone associated with Thistle to never forget today. To never forget how it feels to be relegated unfairly. To never forget that there are many good decent people and clubs in Scotland who stood with us, publicly and privately – but there are some whose fear and self-interest got in the way of doing the right thing." is better left unsaid. The sooner the club drops the victim mentality and unsettled scores attitude, the better it will be for everyone.

I agree that we are risking goodwill and good relationships with other clubs. What happens in future when we're in market for loan players? What about all the mutual back-scratching and favours that likely goes on, that ordinary fans never hear about?
Good relationships are always critical. We may think recent events demonstrate these relationships are a bit hollow, however we have definitely benefited in past, and could've used the goodwill that extended to us as the injured party as leverage in future.
That's gone now. For a court case that we will likely lose. Even with someone else picking up the bill, this is most definitely not a shot for nothing.
I really don't see this playing out well for us in the long term.
And it didn't. All the court case did was lose us the high moral ground in the eyes of many - rightly or wrongly...
The board need to accept defeat and start to re-build the club and all the relationships we depend upon. Leave the righteous (and rightful) anger to the fans.

We were ****** when we were bottom of the league, we were significantly more ****** when the league was shambollically ended early, and we are once again going to be more ****** after this legal bun fight is over.
It's like the logical extension of our demise over the last few seasons. Even without football being played, we still keep sinking.

"If the clubs for any reason don't want those funds, it's our responsibility to ensure they are spent appropriately and sensibly," she told BBC Scotland. "With regards to the £50,000 for clubs, that means we will review the money that clubs may not want to spend, and reallocate it across the rest of the 42 clubs in a way that is appropriate to do so.
From the BBC report. Makes you wonder if some clubs just want to deny others any additional benefit.
Who knows? Perhaps they would get more for the money if handled by an organization with charitable status? It was in accordance with the conditions of grant and James Anderson's intentions - not much more you can say with any certainty.
-
James Anderson had an interest in the community aspect of this from the outset. Check out the quotes in the article below. I am sure the SPFL Trust conditions of grant are absolutely in line with his thinking - these conditions will apply regardless of whether the money is spent by the club or it's associated charity.

Frankly, if I offered a grant to clubs to help them through a difficult period and some of them said thanks and passed the money on to charity, then I would 1) think extremely seriously about whether to ever repeat anything like that gesture, and 2) think again especially about offering any gesture in the future to those clubs that publicly showed that they neither want nor need my grant.
It appears from the announcement here that passing the grant to club charities was entirely in keeping with conditions of grant.

Of course. Stupid me. I hadn't thought of that.
