I think realistically we would sell anyone in the region of 100k. I also think that we are marketing ourselves at being a place for young talented players to show off their abilities and as such we would not stand in the way of a player having the opportunity of a big move... It's a good thing in my opinion and we would become very attractive to similar younger player who become available

'So the only team we should talk about on here is thistle, anything but thistle and go somewhere else?' yes, my point exactly. cheers for backin me up, couldnt have put it better masel. cheers, yer a good guy. yes thistle only mate
I'd put you at about 17 or 16 from the absolute pish you talk... As was stated before the international set up has a MASSIVE impact upon league football in Scotland, particularly the top league in which we currently ply our trade. It has a direct impact on player values, league value ie tv deals and exposure for individual players, all having a DIRECT impact upon thistle... Bannigan being involved in the u21s playing with and against some of the best you g talent in Europe will have only a positive impact on his playing career and as a consequence his employers, thistle... Dry yer eyes and once they are try opening them and looking at the bigger picture FFS

What position does Bannigan play for Scotland U21s?
He plays under billy stark for the u21s a man who is clueless re all things tactical... But in answer the left side of a middle 3

We were rubbish, I mean total sh1te for the first 50 mins... Motherwell had obviously watched how we played and nullified us perfectly.
Higgenbotham made a massive difference when he came on but too many players not at the races particularly Fraser and bannigan...
Might have done enough to sneak a draw but a wee bit of a reality check today

Meeting a mate travelling in from Edinburgh to go to the game. What's the best route and place for a catch up quietish beer before the game. First time I'm getting to see the team this season and looking forward to it very much.
Motherwell is a hole. It really is. Most bars near the ground will be packed with home support and there are no decent boozers in the town centre.
Get off the train at Hamilton west, 3 decent boozers within 200 yards of station, particularly tap room and bar west. Then jump back on train 2 very short stops to airbles and the ground.

That's what I thought when I seen it... To be fair I've had a few and they just kill your leg making it impossible to play... He was, and the team was, so unlucky it happen just prior to half time as the stoppage would've made it much worse...
Good news he is ok though we badly missed him
-
Cheers, i'll give Firefox a spin.
Firefox is defo the way ahead... With the adblocker installed it makes what used to be a horrendous pain in the arse to watch a game fairly straight forward. Total doddle

boo: my new chum has clearly gone to bed; I was up for further discussion on that one...
And for the record, my deleted words were "f-nny" and "p-ssy": man, the sweary police on here are tight, as both those words seem entirely appropriate given the subject matter; seems strange to blank that out.
Ha ha!
Still up! I'm glad you weren't one to vent your anger at Sid whilst he was playing, I hate players getting pelters from their own fans, no matter how deserved it is, never, ever helps...
I was hasty in dismissing your "knowledge of the game" relative to your opinion on Donnelly but I do struggle to see how anyone could not see that he was clearly on a different level to all around him for 2/3 seasons but we'll agree to differ...
He also had offers to go elsewhere whilst at us but stuck around and was instrumental in us getting Mcnamara in as a player. Despite what you think now that proved to be a fantastic move.
Fact is football is a job to guys like McNamara and Donnelly so I find it pretty strange that you could hate someone for improving their terms and conditions in a free market, particularly after serving their previous employer well...
Oh and well done you for having an online footprint back to whenever...
I've been going to firhill as long as I can remember first game I can is meadowbank 1985 I think. Just cause I don't hang about forums and boast about doing so don't make me less of a fan. From my join date here you'll see I'm no glory hunter... I also had the same username on olas... But again I have a life so don't spend a lot of time here, only in down time and when I do I despair at comments such as Donnelly was sh1te for us...
-
God knows... I hope you don't think I was saying I didn't think he was any good... Quite the opposite...
He was a good player in a very poor side and as you say we owe him a lot! A hellava lot
-
Simon Donnelly? You have got to be joking? For a 2/3 year spell he was the only good thing about thistle. He just was on a total different level to everyone about him most of the time which lead to apparent stray passes, they weren't just played next to sh1te...
He used to get some amount of stick off certain fans who clearly had no knowledge of the game over things that were clearly not his fault ie caught in possession after looking, looking and looking again for a pass and not finding one and playing passes that were clearly above the footballing intellect of his team mates...
As good a technically gifted player we've had since Chico, who also suffered from his team mates lack of ability at times...
I guess Watson towers was one of the haters of Donnelly which says a lot about your knowledge of the game.
Abuse of players like Donnelly used to frustrate the life out me as they used to try and keep the ball and play intelligently, even if it meant going backwards but some idiots used to shout and bawl at passes played back to centre halfs and possession based football. Thankfully thanks to McNamara and McCall before him we have educated most as to how the game should be played but even under both and now archie we still get idiotic shouts about not getting the ball forward. If we have the ball the other team ain't scoring!

Billy Gibson I thought was more than decent for us... Very tidy. He suffered from lack of quality about him.
Martin lauchlan just was amazing when he came on to the scene. One of the only times I've genuinely thought this guy could go to the very top, dunno why it never worked out for him...
Peter lindau was another who in his time at thistle genuinely looked liked he could go to the very top, suppose in hindsight lack of pace done him, although I believe he did no bad back home after us. Still hold a grudge with the saviour senior lambie for not keeping him on!

Walter smith called me a fu(king animal for a challange I made in a game.
Pegged Robert prytz...
Been called a c&nt by Paul kinnard again for a challenge made, he was a total bellend btw and been bought a pint by ally mccoist when he was a good guy.
Nipped a burd fae river city,young blonde thing, can't think for the life of me her name or character but was on it about 4/5 years ago....
Tea bagged an awake Paul Hartley, well on an accies team night out he lifted me up whilst I had a kilt on and walked me about on his shoulders with the baws banging about his neck/coupon

Signed for east fife in December. Playing very well by all accounts
-
I'm gutted.
I think we will very much miss him. His importance to the team was again shown on Saturday where he scored 1 goal and created 2.
SPL teams will be hard to break down and losing his ability to do something different and unexpected is a blow.
Saying that whether he'll succeed at DU is a different matter but IMO he's a better player that Mackay-Stevens who has pace but no end product.
You obviously haven't seen much of mackay-Stevens then I presume? Best young scottish player in SPL by a mile...
Erskine is good but remember who he was looking good against... I think he may struggle next year. Good luck to him though, just no against us!
-
Why are you thanking him for being lazy, slow and unintelligent?
Craig made an important contribution to our team, especially when Doolan's form dipped. Your comments are harsh to say the least.
Thanking him for his contribution. He was flawed as a player and I think doolan would've scored more withouts Craig's presence. That said Craig gave us another experienced option out with doolan....
I still think he was lazy, slow and unintelligent as a player, see his multiple offside offences as an example of all 3...
So yeah thank u but we will have much better available to us in the summer...
-
Why did you suggest that we possibly couldn't afford him then? I'm a bit confused.... I can't see Falkirk being able to pay better wages in SFL1 than we will in the SPL. Hope not anyway!
To be honest, I reckon Archie must have someone that he rates more highly than Stephen Craig lined up if he has told him he won't be offered a contract. He did very well to set up our equaliser yesterday, though I wish he did that more often!
Craig scored goals for us but I never thought he was good enough.
Lazy, slow and unintelligent in a football sense.
Thanks for your efforts but the right decision has been made here...
-
Fan's squad number?? Behave... Honestly teams that do that are cringeworthy, in my opinion of course.
-
Great point about the number of young fans there today. The board do not get enough credit for the u16s for free but today shows we have a new generation of fans brought about largely by the forward thinking of our club.
One team in Glasgow

English commentators in mispronunciation of our name shock!
Oh, they'll be dancing in the streets of Patrick tonight ...
Mispronunciation?? When...
-
Big Stephen a Thistle fan ????? My arse, he` s a Celtic man born and bred.His sister Alison teaches in my sons school. Fact .
Correct! As I said previously he is no thistle fan, grew up in Hamilton, went to holy cross and is a Celtic fan.
Incidentally he has donated some quality gear to my amateur team in Hamilton. He is a top lad. No thistle fan though...
Completely irrelevant though as there is not a hope in hell of him signing for us. More chance of rejoining the Celtic I'd say
-
A friend of a friend....probably baws but apparently looking to move back up here anyway...wages would be the issue i suppose, but then again if he is fan...
He is no a fan... Has a family member who is a fan. He supports the green mob.
Never ever be able to afford him. In dreamland a great signing thou.

Scougall is out of contract which is why Livi fans are panicking
Will still be a hefty fee due to the training compensation rules I believe??

I created a team a while back for the Xbox 360. Made it 3 stars right enough, a little generous. Erskine rated about 70...although that one's fair actually.
Download it if you like, the away strip looks good, went with a thicker striped home top as it was Puma. Got a macB logo on the front and the official Thistle badge, looks the business. Took me ages, too. The players look pretty spot on, as much as you can make them look spot on (ie. Lawless is tiny and Erskine's lanky).
Should probably update it, it's still got Rowson, Smith, Slane in there and not got Dowie, McMillan and that, but apart from that...good.
Anyway, enough plugging my own team, I'm also looking forward to FIFA 14.
It's a PS3 I've got but that does sound magic... Great effort!
Roll on September!

At long last it looks like we are gonna make it on to a 3rd generation game next season...
A small bonus for getting promoted (surely) but I for one can't wait to play as the mighty jags and take us to the top!
Will be interesting to see how they rate out players.
Sad? Yes definitely but I don't care! Mon the jags!!

Checked dates out.
Talking of Gaston, I emailed the club a good few years back about him. He was playing as a trialist for Albion rovers in what was at the time an annual friendly against Celtic. I had previously seen him at baillieston 21s. He put in the best performance I've ever seen from a goalkeeper. I never heard back from them. Not even a thank you but no thanks. I'd take a kinda perverse pleasure if he signed for us.
