Not quite following as to how DP? McCalls name got bandied in this thread and I think he merits consideration and stated some reasons as to why I think he may take this now as opposed back when Archie left. I am not in the McCall or no one else club but other than Hopkins (who i think would be a gamble btw) I can not see anyone else out there who would take this gig at the moment and save us and saving us has to be the only prority in our current predicament.

Why so? Do you not subscribe to second chances? My immediate concern is not a mistake years ago but getting someone in who is going to save us from relegation.

McCall is indeed a canny man and therefore if approached just now may well this time take the job. Ayr after last night will most likely not win league, face losing Shankland and a couple of others in summer. He would be welcomed back by majority of supporters (although to be fair Kingsley would as manager at the moment) and if we achieved the miracle of 8th this would be cement his status for summer and pre-season. Obviously paying compo to get him and money to get rid of Caldwell is an issue but if we can afford 18month contracts to Harkins hopefully there is some dosh to do this (especially with Hearts gate cash to help). Something has to be done urgently otherwise we are sleepwalking into complete wilderness.

Yep agree, it’s been needing an overhaul for a while now.

Great stuff AJ thanks. I will sit on the fence and go for 1-1.

Tis a ‘must win game’ , anything else and trips up to Brechin next season is a reality. Having just witnessed best 45 of season followed by worst 45, I will happily take a scrappy OG 1-0 win.

David Amoo and as that ends in 2 ‘o’s i get a bonus point.

Positive mindset, they are not Barcelona. Worth noting they have had 3 away league games this year and lost at Morton and were hammered by QOS. Their victory was a late winner at Dunfermline so by no means should we fear them. Also they have a tough Scottish Cup replay midweek before they face us.

Don McVicar always had a cracking throw on him. It can be as good as a corner pinged in from different angles.

Yep and ref a few games too.

So sorry for your loss, I had followed this story but sadly the outcome we had hoped for was not to be. Condolences to all who knew Stewart and of course his family. Nice gesture with the tile in his memory.

No sign of him for reserves this afternoon either.

You sure it wasn’t one of his attempted crosses?

Didn’t manage the 3/1 price but got 2/1 before it came into 21/20 so happy days. Cracking result all round. Hibs at Firhill in quarters please.

Going the opposite way ie low crowds, I am sure a few games I attended late 80’s were of the 3 figure mark (east fife, meadowbank maybe?). Can anyone provide a list of lowest Firhill crowds?

That is now 7 pens Dallas has awarded to Rangers in his last 3 games in the middle for them. Saw Gerrard bemoaning one that wasn’t given too. And to think he gave us nothing last season when Storey was floored in box vs Celtic.

Need to keep our discipline now as 3 in the book. Harkins on for Fitzpatrick now. Caley used all subs, cmon the Jags.

Seems apt. Short month and short careers.

Disappointing not to get striker in (wonder if it was Sow that fell through) however one of the better windows in recent times more for the departures than anything. Time for them to knuckle down, fight for every ball and have an opposite half of the season to the first.

Yes

Will tell ya in 1min when window shuts

Oh no if that’s the case. Can Manpreet maybe do a fake Blair Henderson one instead in case mocking is catching.

Aaron Muirhead? Not for me thanks, lets just remember fondly the penalties and the headbutt.

From Os. Some interesting reading. https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/ptfc-trust-update-january-2019/
