Not a fan of McKenna who seemed to lumber about all afternoon with detrimental consequences
Wearing 16 today?? Big involvement in 2 of our 3 goals. The second and the winner.

Straight off the training ground!
( First thank you of the season, Camallain. First of many I hope!)

I personally think this could be his last shot at Management. If he doesn’t get it right this time, I’d be very surprised if any other Club in Britain went near him. He’s had too many failures in a young career already so he’ll be doubly determined to a good job here. He’s made a few mistakes and owned up to a few of them. Hopefully he learns from them and doesn’t repeat them and his next job is a step up after a very successful spell with Patrick Thistle.
Will, allow me to offer you this explanation from the penmanship of Britain's greatest author J K Rowling....
"I make mistakes like the next man. In fact, being--forgive me--rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger"

Success - Promotion without bankrupting us
Failure- No promotion with or without bankrupting us
Norge, do you mind if I squeeze “one last chance depending on performances” if we make the playoff spots but fail to get promoted?Dundee with the parachute payments, St Mirren with the parachute payments or Caley Thistle. And Ourselves. Someone’s going to be disappointed.

So no funds from Mr Weir directly or indirectly into Partick Thistle ? So its this an Offiicial Statement from the Club ?
As for the Training Ground there has been no update beyond the one given to the Trust in January and that was at there request - lots one one to ones - small groups - all verbal - but no actual statement
Seems a strange way for a Communications Expert to Communicate ?
And on the Night the Chairman didnt say anything ?
Not singling you out JJ, just using your post to make the point that the event, and this thread, were titled “An Evening With Gary Caldwell” so it’s a bit ridiculous all the posts criticising JL and GB for not talking more!

Thanks to everybody who has given updates .
Yep. Really interesting stuff. Just signing the players, training, pre-season and the march to the title left then.....:)

Sorry to go off topic with the pro/anti Caldwell boring stuff, and just to bring things round to the point of this thread I think but.....
Kris..thanks for the memories. I've got the t-shirts and I'll wear them proudly on the streets of London. I've got the memories and I'll always quote your name with respect and honour in any conversation. And most of all I've got the wish that wherever life takes you for the remaining few years of your career that the path will return you to Firhill sometime in the future where there'll always be a welcome and even a pint. Good luck Sir.

Camallain, great stuff and I'll add my grateful thanks for all your efforts this season. Enjoy your post-season break.

But hold on...since the players picked today’s team does GC get the points? :)

And there is plenty of them on here
Not sure that's true. Same five or six posting the same message day after day and shouting down anyone that disagrees just gives the impression that there's more of them.

maybe you caught him on two bad days but having known the gent in question since he was a teenager i can honestly say he has always been just that - a gentleman...
Him and Roughie were my heroes growing up, met them both loads of times and so I totally agree about AH being a gent, and it's always stuck with me him repeatedly saying that his brother John was a better player before he got injured.

I’d be happy with 4 points from the Ayr games. I’d be happy to avoid relegation,
Do I think Caldwell is the manager to lead us back into the top flight? No.
Is all about opinions, you see.
Which you and GRE repost on just about every thread twelve times a day. I'm pretty sure everyone is aware of your opinion regarding the manager, Sandy. Give it a rest for God sake.
Had you noticed we won a game yesterday, moved two points clear of automatic relegation and on Tuesday night a 2-0 win would put us in 6th place?

Fantastic finish to be fair

You guys just don’t see it! Look at the league table - time to wake up and smell the coffee.
I’ve followed Thistle through thick & thin, I’m usually in the ‘happy clapper’ camp. But this season has been a shocker and Caldwell hasn’t convinced quite a number of us that he’s the right manager to take us forward. That’s my opinion, I’m allowed that.
Oh and btw, I get plenty of cuddles. But thanks for your concern.
I'm not criticising your opinion Sandy, just worried about your mental health mate. Glad your getting enough cuddles. The table looks a damn sight more hopeful than it did in December. We can agree on that at least.

Well there you go, back into the bottom two tonight. Progress? Nah...
Jeese Louise Sandy, I don't know you but I really hope there's someone in your life to give you a big cuddle mate because your posts are a wee bit depressing these days. For what it's worth, while I was very sad to see Archie, my favourite Thistle player of the last thirty years, go the club were left with no real alternative option. I'm not convinced about Caldwell either, especially given his record with other teams, but there's at least a bit of optimism these days that we're actually showing signs of being able to compete. My analogy would be that Caldwell inherited a taxi with four bald tyres and had to drive that taxi until January before he was allowed to change the tyres. So it's only fair that he's measured on his 'driving' from January in my book.
Come the summer when he gets to upgrade the engine and tart up the interior, we'll be able to judge him totally but for the moment I'm in the "he's made things better" camp.

Nice shove by Saunders as the corner comes in. Glad the ref didn't spot that.
Great finish by Big Ando
Huge shove. I wonder, if it's Saunders instead of Anderson that gets the header, if the Ref wouldn't have blown for the foul. Little bit of luck that can change a match/ season.

But of course he’s made a huge mistake with Erskine.
Substituted at half-time yesterday.

The Bridges goal celebration is almost as good to watch as the goal itself....
(As always Cam, thanks for your efforts )

Small thing but it constantly irritates me that during the interviews the camera is so low down. Does your tripod go any higher? For instance, in the Rangers preview with AA, shooting against the bright sky is almost impossible without a light on his face but raising the camera and shooting him against the pitch or the buildings opposite the training camp would solve that. I realise you guys are not professionals as such and this is not meant as criticism because overall the content is fantastic and really helps to make an exile like myself feel a bit closer to the club, just meant as a friendly bit of advice.

Even if we signed Messi some folk on here would still be disgruntled.
My mate is a taxi driver and told me he dropped Messi back at Glasgow Airport after signing talks at Firhill went badly when Archie found out he couldn't play left-sided centre back.

Apologies if this has been mentioned previously in this thread and I missed it but I'm sure I heard on the BBC on Saturday that it now costs £1000 to appeal a decision.
Personally I thought Foxy was slightly unlucky and his arm was deflected up into the Dundee players face when he was actually trying to push the guy by the shoulder, but if he hadn't raised his hand in the first place none of this would matter.
Still not worth a grand to find out what the appeals committee think though.

I'm still saddened that the threat of legal action from the solicitors representing that well known virgin, Mary Fae Maryhill, led to that song being dropped.

Finished 4-0. Must have been 2 or 3 late goals unless the twitter guy gave up in the second half.
