When you read the Barnsley forums it’s very split. Towards end of last season the consortium were the best thing since sliced bread. Since the abysmal start they are the devil personified.
We have always been a selling team for any half decent prospect, and recently seem to be a dumping ground for agents to offload players to
What about the question raised about the difference with the moneyball principle with the first pick option across the water, that doesn't happen over here. A key factor in making the moneyball work surely?

What about this reply?
I honestly don't know how any fan can still seriously believe selling to this consortium is going to be a good thing considering what the fans of Nice and Barnsley have advised based on their experiences!

WTF was Archie doing not offering Stevie Lawless another deal after we went down?? He was excellent tonight.
I'm not in the know for the avoidance of doubt, but I suspect he wasn't offered one because Archibald would have been told by Lawless's Agent that it would be pointless.

Don't shoot the messenger, Weebaw, but the BBC TV money is pooled with other TV income etc. The collective money is then split throughout the four divisions with the lion's share going to....Well, I reckon you can guess where.
Stenhousemuir?

I was there too. I would say that I left the session more happy that the boards motivations are nothing to do with self interest. But and it’s a big but - it’s not at all clear what is happening with the consortium. I can appreciate that there is little they can say at this stage but the topics they did cover left more questions than answers. One chap asked why they chose us and the answer was that they investigated and thought that Glasgow was a good fit. It really makes little sense.
Another chap in the audience (Ross I think) spoke very eloquently. As did donners (jagscat). Tbf - the board fronted up but...at the moment we only know the budget is cut, we’ve lost our biggest benefactor, and the takeover may or may not happen.
Uncertain times. Patience will be required but by the time this is settled our season could be bust.
Was there any timescale given/hoped for for the take over if it happens?

Got it thanks, see you Tuesday.

I booked 3 seats by email on Thursday (2 adults and one kid). Just checking you got this OK?
Cheers

You can say in the less amateur way that the club continues to do. Why couldn't the club say to the player, you can go on the club's terms. I. E a bit more than 350k. Norwich are extremely keen to get him. As usual Thistle drop their pants at the pound sign.
Maybe when Aiden (and going back Liam), agreed to sign their contract extensions, it was only on the provision we would accept any offer above a low set amount. Maybe if we didn't agree to this, they would have been happy to let their contracts run down, in which case we would get feck all. In which case the board have done the best they could.

I know he's not started a game yet, but when he does, will KM be the first player to play for 3 Glasgow teams ?
Someone on Twitter noted it's 4 Glasgow teams. Took me way longer than it should to get it!

From the Barnsley website -
“We have made a significant profit on Liam and all of that profit will be reinvested in Barnsley Football Club. We will also retain a significant interest in the future of the player.”

Partick Thistle. Lad called Luke Wall on Spanish trip. Started at Blackburn. Been in non league. Attacking midfield. Also looking at a keeper.
from Alan Nixon
Wiki says his full name is Luke Sky Wall. Mum and Dad must of been big Star Wars fans.

Instead of restricting it to 40 members, they should have made it 41 so it would be 41 in 71 club.

Add in that Billy Dodds almost liquidated the club and now could be their assistant manager and it has the potential for some grade 'A' banter!
Whats the story here? It rings a bell but can't remember the details.

BBC reporting up to the usual standards, I’m not sure why they bother.
To provide suggestions for forum user names?

From bbc report -
The newly-promoted Championship side did the damage early, on-loan Motherwell midfielder Shea Gordon scoring twice in the opening five minutes to give Thistle a lead they would maintain until the end.
They really just shouldn't bother.
-
I suspect they will offer Scully a deal now.

I'm slightly relieved to find out that it is not just me ..... not that I'm paranoid or anything
Ditto. Ever since the IPS theme changed the forum on my mobile has gone to pot. Really hope somthing can be done because it is painful. Dealing with enough Thistle pain as it is...

Thanks and good luck...
