From the insider:)We did

I won't abuse a lady, but you like preaching, and u talk a lot of ShyteAgree with you for once. Some know **** little and others know **** all.
-
Obviously some of us know a little more than othersPlan B is debatable but maybe the idea is to work with plan A to ensure it works
Who says moral of the team is destroyed or if so Archie caused it....... Pure speculation
How has he lost the dressing room...... Pure speculation again
Archie won't be gone after this Celtic game

Well here's another couple of facts.Thanks for the heads up
. I'm forever getting confused between "just a matter of opinion" and "just a fact". Not much point really having discussions on websites when someone like yourself can clear up the subject matter in three small words.Kinda pointless carrying on this thread.. You could just have have let everyone in on this "fact" on post 1. Then again that's just my matter of opinion.
Archie has no plan B.
Archie has destroyed the moral of the team.
Archie has lost the changing room.
Archie will be gone after the Celtic game( possibly just my opinion )

As usual reading only what u want too then making a total fool of yourselfCut adrift? Did I miss the part were we fell below Ross a County and St Mirren!
-
We need to accept Archie just can't cut the mustard at this level and that is the real problem.
Not his fault, just does not have the experience or the ability, not a criticism just a fact.

zzzzzzzzzzzzCrowds have bottomed out due to pricing & affordability. Also the product on the park last season (2 home wins all season) not encouraging folk to part with their hard earned cash. The last time we were in the premier league, I was part of a group of 7 who regularly went to Firhill. That's now down to 4- affordability & product they watched are their main reasons for chucking it & becoming part time or even armchair supporters.
Interesting you mention this website. I tend to thnk that it's the same posters on here, who if they don't like what they read decide to hit the ignore button. There are posters in the for/against keeping the manager who just talk Gibberish butbthere are others, I'd like to think I'm one of them that present an argument why they think the manager should go. Very often the reply to these arguments is in the "la, la, la, not listening...." category. Or it's the fact he's a jags legend.
Can't believe that I read someone using the analogy of the pub & someone butting in on their conversation. Of the 4 of us (& the 2 gents that sit in front that we know from sitting these in the JHS) it's a 50/50 split as to sacking the manager. I also know from chats on the bus that those defending him last season, are now beginning to see what others are saying about contacts, scouting, tactics, subs & just a general inability, rather than reluctance, to change things when it's going wrong.
That's part of being a football fan. You're allowed to have an opinion- despite what some think on here.
The forum & its posters has probably dwindled in size since the .net days when the fans maybe had a common cause in the BoD or the management team.
Personally I can't believe folk can post the opening line like the above poster without realising they're countering their own argument to an extent that the manager is doing an ok job.
I genuinely believe that the core support are split equally on him staying/going with others in the undecided camp. If you're undecided as to whether or not the manager is doing a good job then surely that does mean you're not convinced?
With apologies for the independence referendum pun- "silent majority".
With apologies to the poster- I'm probably on his 'ignore' list anyway! ������- we should be a Premier league team with Premier league crowds. It's mismanagement since the early 80s imo that started to see the downfall of this club. I know clubs can yoyo up & down the leagues but when you see clubs like ICT & DU classed as bigger clubs than us you know we have failed to kick on where others saw the opportunity.
The youth structures & infrastructures, along with 'good' managers (on the whole) have seen these clubs overtake us in the last 40 years. We're putting a youth structure in place now but it's a bit after the horse has bolted. Hamilton showed how that was done & before that Livi & DU. The money's gone from the Scottish game & if an English team came calling for one of our youths, then they could do an Israel Feruz & walk away for nothing. Failing that, do what ATS did & leave at an age where the club sees nothing in terms of compensation (not a dig, just a fact).
We need the young boys in the team at 18 or 19 to get any real money for them but the double edged sword to that is when they've gone we could go into free fall again- look at Hamilton after McCarthy, McCartur, Easton went.
We have an aging support by all accounts, myself included, who saw the 71 League Cup win & European adventures. That saw us in the Premier League in the 70s & early 80s. Another spell in the doldrums would kill the club in all probability. The auld yins- most- would probably drag themselves along but the younger ones... Better things to do for many than travel to Forfar or Stranraer to watch us lose.
A cup win &/or top 6, in all probability, a long way off under current management/players. We can't keep a clean sheet way for home for what it is now in total half the games of our total league away games, so unless that changes quick...
But if a cup win or final were to happen... Look at the 30k supporters at cup finals for St Mirren, St Johnstone, Killie etc. Where are they now?
As for top 6... Think the poster has said himself in other threads that's not happening soon also. However if it were to happen then the money, if made available for the team, would no doubt be a help. But... Does the manager have the contacts to get players up here? & if so, what kind of money are they looking for?
For example, Ecclestone, I'm led to believe, is one of the highest earners at the club. For a guy whose scoring record as a striker & fitness (for now & for how long?) is questionable & only on a one year deal. I'm not sure that fills me with confidence that the current manager can spend money available wisely.
We overspent last January, that's part of the problem why the finances are the way they are. We offered contracts to guys like Forbes, Baird etc Summer 2013 then had to get rid as not good enough = £££. We then had to then replace them with better quality players = more £££.
If we'd gone down after that, I dread to think what would've happened. Christie Elliot as our starting CF for one I'd imagine.
As for the stadium move, as plenty have said, that would be probably be the final nail for many. Like I said, aging support. Unless someone can say, & convince, that a move would benefit everyone in terms of lower ticket prices & larger playing budget (sure I've heard that line before), then I honestly believe that a move would be the death knell for the club.
As a quick aside, the poster knows that the Warriors, in conjunction with the local authority, are delighted with Scotstoun & their training facilities at the Palace of Art? He knows that for his suggestion that we'd have to move to Scotstoun as the Warriors not moving anywhere?
Would he be happy with that?*
*If someone who can see this can ask him as like I said, I'm in the get rid of the manager camp so I'll be on his ignore button.

Elliott and Craigen have never been given 6 to 8 games to prove themselves, in my view Archie is destroying the careers and confidence of the so cold fringe players at the club much in the way he did with Lawless last season and Gabby.
We know he uses Muirhead, Craigen and Elliott only as a last resort so how must they feel about it, nervous as feck every time they come on knowing they are most certainly dropped the next game regardless.
A lot of unrest and resentfulness runs through the dressing room, it's now showing week in week out on the pitch.

If Archie sticks with Stevenson sack him
-
By midnight pleasee
-
lol how old is your sonThat was grim. Kilmarnock were nothing special but Thistle were woeful. Hard to believe we beat ICT the other week. Teenage son said it was the worst team performance he has ever seen and every player should be dropped next week and replaced by youth team.
Very disappointing :-(
-
Got to say and this is my last post, feck Archie
-
so trieNobody else think we must be so predictable for opponents managers? We play exactly the same formation/style every single game
-
The fact that he starts the game with 2 injured players should be enough to give Archie the push
-
Same, same players jeeez Archie get your tongue out of stevensons anus
-
Elliott everytimeFor me it is a no brainer all you have to do is ask yourself this 20 mins to go 1 down and needing someone to turn the game lets look at the subs bench.... Elliot, Craigen, Muirhead or ........McFadden now really ask yourself hand on heart who do you have the most confidence in to turn the game

So this warrants my original question, what separates our so called first team players from our squad players, does Archie feel he has to play Stevenson to justify his outlay?He isn't any worse than James Craigen.
-
Please feel free to educate me where I'm wrong, in my assessment of Stevenson.It's such valuable detailed insight, like your post above, that makes you one of my favorite posters on here. Every day's a school day.
-
He isI think so, yes. The fact he's disappointed some (all?) doesn't mean he worse than others.
-
This, so Stevenson is a 1st team playerBoth of them are squad players. They're handy to have around, but I don't think either of them will ever become regular starters. It might seem harsh to say, but the two players mentioned are among those likely to be shipped out as/should we establish ourselves as a top-flight team.
-
Elliott and craigen need a run of games to establish themselves instead of the usual 10 minute cameos
-
Out of interest Will, given our injuries, who would you play rather than Craigan?
Welsh must be due back? I heard he was 6 weeks away in March....

What a vile bunch of supporters
Players Wages

Average wage at Thistle for squad, 25k a year, lowest in Scotland, pay them peanuts and you get monkeys I guess
