Although, if it doesn’t happen it will be a bit embarrassing
Must be due to have another go at the bing. 2006, 2010, 2014 before.

We are shite and on a one way ticket to going out of business. Theres nothing positive at all about this club now and the fans have let a culture seep throughout the club of accepting failure and constantly sticking with people not up to it.

The question keeps getting asked why we didn't go with the rich people who would have saved our club and sorted all our problems. WE didn't have a choice. No matter how many (or few) people on this forum who were against the takeover voiced their opinion, the decision was entirely that of the shareholders who were wanting to sell up. They decided to sell to 3BC and that brought us to where we were now. If there was a better option for both the sellers and the club then why didn't they take it?
Bollocks. The fans put the previous shareholders under pressure with scare stories of shady investors taking out loans, people wanting to turn the ground into flats, media scaremongering about the fans being concerned of these people taking over the club, nonsense stories about moving to Scotstoun.
I'm so glad the family club got their way! The way things are we are dying as it is . Beat again today eh?

Meet the Pacific Media Group gang, the data-led, hard-pressing, youth-oriented, multi-club model storming leagues across Europe: Barnsley Thun Oostende Nancy Esbjerg Who they are, how they’ve done it, what the fans think & what’s next.
Thank God we ended up with Jacqui Low still running the club, the Jags Trust mark 2 telling us that Chien Lee and Paul Conway would turn the ground into flats, Ian McCall and all his mates running the team into the ground, a bloody full-time team 4th in League 1. Thank God we don't have a training ground, we have a pile of weeds and dirt behind one goal and we don't even have a scouting network. If you join the dots together from google searches, Martin Christie our one time "Head of Recruitment" has quietly left and is now at ******* Forfar doing the same job according to his Linkedin page. Nothing on the club website or the directory regarding a replacement or "restructuring" or changes or nothing.
I give it another year in this league before the begging buckets are out again. We are an utter joke.

Just imagine we went with the rich owners we could have binned this loser McCall tonight.
We wanted the family club model though. You reap what you sow as they say.

If you extend it beyond basic league/Scottish Cup wins it looks even worse. Final appearances, semi finals. Even the Challenge Cup our record is terrible in, and we've played in that completion a lot.
The club is low self esteem as ****. A lot of that is down to the fans putting up with shite. The big one for me was when Hamilton feckin Accies supporters were trying to run Martin Canning out the door every week and yet whilst we were doing even worse we were happy with Archie!
The cosiness of Thistle is a noose around our neck.
-
Thank God we turned down the Lee and Conway money. Without fan ownership we would have died!
Oh wait we are dying anyway. ******* shambles.

Oh but it could. A lot of similarities between McCall and Archibald’s squads.
No pace
Little creativity
Lack of goals
Leaky defence
Ultra cautious defensive line ups
Tippy tappy side to side rubbish
McCall goes - the 2 assistants go. Has to be.
Its funny how with Archie back involved the injuries are piling up again just like last time he was here.

Taking the consortium's cash and becoming Barnsley's feeder club doesn't seem like such a bad idea anymore. Probably wouldn't be in this mess with the batshit lunacy of fan ownership and the anonymous zoomers who are supposed to be facilitating it.
Just wind the club up now before we embarrass ourselves further.
You'd think after the injustice of last season our players would come out swinging with something to prove. Rather we prove why we are the cuddly toy of Scottish football.
Spot on. Next set of people running the club should be outsiders if these clowns don't kill us first. Various individuals and fans groups over the years have totally run the club into the ground. Bowling Club FC. Jobs for all of the boys and girls.
Same old woe is me interview on jagzone from the career victim McCall, hard luck, blaming the weather. Makes a change from talking about how well off the opposition are, which he can't do anymore. McCall has always been a nearly man, a myth of a manager who hasn't achieved all that much in the game, but the one thing he was good for before was bringing in players we can develop. Now its all shite on loan and bench warmers from teams like Ayr, has beens circling the drain of full-time football trying to delay the inevitablity of the real world. Him and all the other pals like Archie, Bannigan etc need fired out the door before they do anymore damage.
The softball questions on jagzone are embarrassing. No subs, barely created anything worth a ****, and all he can do is crawl up McCall's arse.
-
McCall is the biggest blowhard in Scottish Football. Talks as good a game as anyone but delivers nothing. He's damaged goods and needs to go.
-
They should be ashamed of these results and performances against part-time teams. Going to work all day and then going to training at night is hard going and these clubs continually match us and beat us. Pampered ******* won't know how easy they've had it until they're in the real world. They are kidding themselves on as full-time footballers getting beat every week against plumbers and joiners.

I like bowling clubs, cheap beer and good for bowling. We are not a bowling club we are a professional football club, that’s sole purpose is to win matches. That seems to have been lost over last few years.
Our core product is the first team, and them winning enough matches to get us back to Premiership, anything else is failure, and any other initiatives are smokescreens diverting the attention and resources away from our main aims.
I agree the fan ownership seems to be hijacked and if almost a year on, the sole (communicated) task that has been completed is to agree on a name, then it shows the apathy and acceptance of failure around the club. We have barely had an update from the board or the fan ownership working group in months, no one barely bats an eyelid. This site is quiet, Twitter and FB is an almost acceptance of the malaise. The club is dying, fans are switching off, add to the clusterfxck of the pandemic situation on the game and economy and we have a very very dire situation.
Our next set of accounts will be worrying. Especially if we continue struggling on the park and need to keep adding panic signings to address the problems. Outwith Celtic and Rangers we must have one of the biggest first team squads and staff in the country as is.

Really bad as usual. Pathetic that we are literally a one man team with Graham in a league like this. Appalling record against part-time teams. We could barely even beat Penicuik! Clyde will be in the bottom half of this league, we're definitely going to play better teams than them which is worrying as there wasn't anything between the teams.
Archie's shitty training showing again. Several injuries already and there was no difference in fitness even towards the end. Glass out before he could sit down and Rudden looks like a crock who can't be relied upon. Only obvious pass marks was Sneddon. The weird thing is if billy big time Fox didn't leave he'd be starting as McCall fancied him more. McCall is a spent force. Overrated. Even his successes in the game have been small and relative. He can't handle pressure. Gobshite of a man. Squad is big and we still need players, especially a solid bit of competition on the left to get Penrice out of the team. Speaking of Penrice, him and Bannigan are two players typical of the Thistle cuddly attitude. Shite but get a pass because they're one of our own. Methinks a lot of these boys won't be playing full time football again when they leave Thistle, delaying the inevitable.
Between the clowns like J Lo and her clique running the club and the shit on the park I've run out of patience. Its not good enough, ****** sort it.

Looks like thats the lid finally shut on firhill developments

So, what non-Thistle men would you like to see at the club? And why aren't they there already?
I'd quite like to have seen Lee and Conway tbh but the Thistle cult ran them off.

Alan Rough is a club legend.
BUT
A bit of a dinosaur. Old school bantz. Not for me as an ambassador. We need to be youthful and have a better PR person(s).
Aye but he's a thistle man just like Gerry Britton Archie and all the other jobs for the boys cronies at the club.

we need outside thinking at the club. the post stj regime left us in a heap. it was all down to john lambie turning it round on the field and it collapsed when he left. what was their end result. no youth academy, a three sided stadium, no training ground, and a mountain of debt.
we are almost back where we started. all the above more or less still exist and we also have an even worse team now.
gerry britton saying today in the daily record this is going to cost the club 300,000. part-time football may have to happen. fan ownership has really paid off hasnt it. if that the case the first thing a rubbish third tier football team should be doing is getting rid of the chief executive. we don't need one if we're going to run a small time setup. thistle has always been jobs for the boys anyway. archie, gerry britton, mccall, kenny arthur, maxie, fans working for the club and running it. far too cosy. its alright, a guy run out of stirling bloody albion will sort it.
lets face it the pool of thistle fans with the knowledge and the money to offer the club has dried up. chien lee should have been welcomed with open arms, we are on our arse as it is with the bowling club mentality rife as ever.

i wont be getting a season ticket, cant be arsed and to be honest, id be hard pushed to pay anymore than 16 quid to watch us play pub teams followed by two men and a dug. will watch the walk up prices with interest.
-
statement reeks of the usual cuddly attitude. britton and low's leadership has been nothing but a disaster and i have no confidence in them. will our financial situation be so rosy after a year of playing teams like forfar, peterhead and montrose every week?
mccall will be two games from the sack for the whole of the season, im not sure he can cope with the pressure - second place, semi final, relegated etc, thats mccalls thistle cv. the fans are completely drained by the last 3 years and back to back bad results is just going to make the irritable wanting a scapegoat its going to be tough next year. falkirk, cove have money behind them and we've struggled mightily against part-time teams recently. badly need to keep brian graham and zak rudden, they would score 30 each in that shit league. start with getting a decent goalie in fox is rubbish and should never have come back after the way he left.

would have had a better response for a legal crowd fund i reckon

People are losing lives, jobs and businesses.
The PR optics of taking legal action against that backdrop look dubious to me. thats just to the public - to the clubs we have denied a payout, we will also be unpopular.
We certainly wont be the cuddly toy anymore.
Good. For too long we've taken things on the chin. Fans will help out with legal fees if need be.
-
Will be boycotting any club who votes against us. There will be diddy clubs like Clyde in the league below who want the cash from our support. Sadly too many people in our fanbase are spineless so can never see this working as a collective.

Can someone name anything we do well?
The first team is rubbish, the youth setup a farce again, we don't engage with the local community, we don't have a training ground, the stadium is a three sided mess, hospitality rank rotten, unreliable ticketing system, home fans constantly made to feel like visitors at the club.
You reap what you sow I suppose. Place has been rife with jobs for the boys and the pals act for years.
Financial worries

Just as well Chien Lee didn't come in and asset strip us.
We will be playing in Scotstoun at ten years at this rate. Any word on the bing and the Main Stand getting returned to us? Thought not. There's yer transparency. Just like the training ground and all the other bullshit before it. It might not even be money troubles sending us out, the place will do will to get a safety cert at this rate. Big problems with the JH roof now I read to add to the mess that is the bing and the Main Stand.
Fans have the club they deserve. Rudderless. Jobs for the boys on and off the park. Give it a 2-3 years and we will be the 4th force in the city permanently. Haughey investing heavily in infrastructure whilst Weir gave cash to Archie to waste on duds and then left us with Britton and Low.
We must also have the most embarrassing looking club shop of any professional club I've seen. Ayr United's is massive compared to ours. Everything about us just screams unprofessional and low standards.
