The Incredible Adam Spark

Apologies for reverting to my pet subject, but our financial outlook must be improving if we're offering players two-and-a-half-year deals. In other news, the Sunday Mail has confirmed the club is looking to a share option which it will discuss with the Jags Trust and the wider support base.

Dundee v Livi. Can you imagine it?

The picture of Buckie running towards the Jackie Husband is outstanding. I'd love a decent-sized framed copy of that.

Think McCall now has his strategy spot on with the young lads. There was a bit of expectation placed on them by some forum regulars and you could see frustration grow at their omission when things weren't going our way. But that wasn't the time to blood them, imo. Losing mentalities, a lack of confidence and a hostile crowd doesn't make the ideal breeding ground for fledgling careers. We're now finding our feet, the sense of belief is growing and the fans are mellowing/verging on happy. It's the ideal situation in which to blood them.

They could, I suppose, but the team would be disjointed. I was talking to one of their fans last week who said Barry Smith doesn't rate their youngsters, bar one. Their current form points to them staying up at the expense of Stirling, at least, but suspensions are mounting and fatigue is bound to kick in. It's going to be tight.

He wasn't with us for long, but David Lilley was a solid enough right back. I'd probably opt for a 3-5-2 and go for: ......................Arthur ......Craigan.....Paterson.....Archibald Lilley...Harkins...Lennon...Hardie...Fleming ...............Grady......Roberts Subs: Tuffey, Robertson, Rowson, Britton, Buchanan Cult hero: Scott 'Boab' McCulloch

Why wouldn't they?

The picture of Campbell roaring in delight is particularly good. I believe he's related to some Thistle fans, one of whom is a club ball boy. I hope they enjoyed his goal as much as he did.

What other company would turn round and basically say "give us your time and your money" and not outline the consequences should you not? No KJ, it's not just you. But it's an important message. Remember that.

Not a particular dig at you, Lenny, but the rest. All I'm hearing from them is "we won 6-1, everything's great". Sorry, it's not.

That's because they haven't said anything of particular note, just like the board since the £100,000 announcement.

Easy pleased. Roll over and I'll give your tummy a tickle.

Lenny, I'm glad we won. It's great. We're steadily finding our feet on the park and that's encouraging? But will it all be for nowt if this cash isn't found? What are the repercussions? That's what I want to know. All the 6-1 thrashings of second-bottom-of-the-table sides won't save the club.

Priceless.

Some of this stuff is f*cking comedy gold. We have nine pages of forum members delighting in Dundee's current plight when it appears we're not a kick in the baws away from administration ourselves. The same people are saying one of the reasons they deserve all they got was due to them having fans representatives who didn't question their board. Now, we have a fan asking for the full picture at Firhill during a "crucial" for the club as he's refered to as a nosey bastard? Well fuck you very much. If this club goes to the dogs then it's fair to say we deserve everything we get, too.

Are you serious? I've invested years of energy into Thistle, as did my grandfather and his father before him. I've pumped in money during that time that could've been better spent on other things but wasn't because Partick Thistle are my club. I put additional funds into the club's coffers during STJs and continually paid fees towards an organisation that purported to represent me. Five weeks ago, the club's current custodians described me and others like me - that includes you - as 'owners' of Partick Thistle FC. You think we'd be entitled to know exactly what's going on, no?

Depends on whether the game against Falkirk goes ahead. I can only stretch to the one trip. Perhaps you wouldn't mind asking the questions on my behalf should finances exclude me from attending.

Cheers for the tip. I might just try and email him directly. I've emailed the club before and was advised to read the programme.

lol wut?

No, I don't, but I suggest they're saying very little of any real significance.

I've already posted it.

Look, the club's still facing a £50,000 black hole and David Beattie has admitted today that the solutions they're working on are short term. I'm not on the wind up, I'm asking them to be full and frank with us. What will it mean should we fail to plug that? Administration? Part time football? We haven't had answers to that. I'd also like them to outline the ways in which they think we can help. Do all roads point to their "unique" initiative that's still to be made public? You make not like my abrasive style. That's fair enough, but there are serious questions that have to be addressed. On a seperate note, I believe 1JL was speaking to the club today re. his 'team of the decade' idea. Would be good to hear the response.

For those that didn't make it.

The financial state of the club is something I think demands attention. The board obviously did, too, seeing as they saw fit to scare us shitless with talk of shortfalls that must be met. Just a pity they haven't seen fit to say much else following that. I'll leave you to disappear until the next demand is made of the Firhill suits.

The Harry Wraggs' social media feeds. Now, can anyone tell me what the important message in the programme was?
