  2. Makes you wonder if the work they did was pre propco, or on behalf of propco. Either way, very nice of PTFC to foot the bill. That's what friends are for.
  3. Does this mean I need to change my signature. To another McCall bullish!t quote? See ya Liam, make sure you pack your ego when you go.
  4. fair points, well, and emotionally put. apart from saying that it ain't broke.
  5. Definently incorrect, maybe not the value, but that that is the record.
  6. They're not rumours mate. Chic coming back as a coach, this season. That was a rumour, and a complete crock of sh!t, at that.
  7. yip, him and his brother khana biyik were both in the Cameroon squad. Can't remember the other guy tho'.
  8. What are some of the daftest rumours we've heard, with regards to Thistle, be it players, manager, board or stadium. Here's a couple: We were "linked" with a couple of Cameroon players after a great showing from them during a World Cup. We were going to sign Kenny Samson, probably around the same time.
  9. All matches will be played on the weekend of February 5th/6th.
  10. i'd expect something like this...
  11. Chairman Seem like the perfect company to be involved at/with Firhill.
  12. From reading the article, we will get rid of 3, with the sole purpose of bringing in 2 loans til the end of the season. Just freeing up wages to do so. Halliwell out. None of the coaching staff, Hinchy included, will leave. They are on buttons and pretty much doing it as a favour. I mean buttons. Mccall would be a fool to let go of any of the youth set up. First off, they earn hee haw, secondly, he preaches continually about how they are the future. That leaves Greahan. He will be away. Maybe Buchanan, I'd get rid and plough my faith in Doolan, who has proved himself to be a better "all round" forward. This statement does worry me: Hopefully we will be able to keep the team together and hold on to the boys who will be attracting attention from other clubs as we have a side who can make a challenge in the second half of this season. To make a profit? I thought all mccall's bluster was that the youth's were the way forward. Not a profit making feeder scheme.
  13. Jags Forum Blog Would you nod at these folk in the street? Give them a piece at yer door? Piss on them if they were on fire? Their ego knows no bounds!
  14. Was Paul Devine not also part of the Arthur/Peden Trust Board that was thrown out for being run in an incorrect manner, or did he just turn up to the meetings with them?
  15. I just love the fact that the 3 guys who basically couldn't run a piss up in a brewery, are now running all things money, in the club! Which leads me onto the new public faces of PTFC, Beattie and Allan. The major shareholders in Plopco: Beattie + Allan + *PTFC = 300 votes. *Beattie & Allan, as PTFC board members hold a share in the PTFC vote aswell. then there is the 20% vote Eldon Developments hold.
  16. here And Partick Thistle secretary Tom Hughes admits the Jags are already feeling the effects of the adverse weather conditions. Was that not a full time position made redundant when it left and got a job handling the accounts at Dumbarton? “This is when things like the Centenary Fund, which Eddie Prentice has run, makes a huge difference to the club because they have given us £12,000 in the last week and Allan Cowan, who is now president of the Business Club, has given us another £12,000 from the Hall of Fame dinner so that is a huge boost for us." So, the three amigo's step down to make change to revolutionise the Club and make it a productive business that the fans will return to and support... and: Tom Hughes takes up the redundant role of club secretary. Eddie Prentice keeps on running the CF Alan Cowan becomes "President of the Business Club"
  17. Is it the case that because this was an acceptable point to make by yourself (and by the rest of the JTB) that the NW Board members are aware of Forum dislike for them, and your slight/comedy comment means that the NW bus members have dismissed the members/forum users opinion of them? Can anyone on the JTB confirm, over the last year, who mans the stall? It's just that, in my opinion only certain members are seen to put in a shift, other JTB members do not do so. I would suggest that this is a frankly incredible and out of order request to make. Infact, I would suggest if I was David Beattie, I would be laughing out loud at the cheek of you!
  18. The point is that I turn up on a Saturday. I meet my mates for a pint around half one. I go to Firhill full of the buzz as I walk up to and see the ground, take my seat. And watch the most pathetic excuse for a game I have seen. If you had brought 3 stay away fans with you on Saturday, would you have apologised? So you admit that the product on the park is Sh!te? Whilst i can give and take a sh!te performance. I've been following Thistle for 21 years. Why should I part with £17. Yip, £17 quid to watch 1 shot on target in 90 minutes. Good point, turn up, part with my money, moan for 2 days, and back on the jolly bus, ready to watch us play a part time team we can't take a point off of! Because I can't see a way out of this mess. Lets face it, the common theme in a "McCall must go" thread, is, who would we get to replace him? So if all those people are right, and there is no one able to replace McCall, then for the first time in 30 years, we are in a position where there is no way out. We have to endure this until he moves on and someone worse comes along.
  19. Now, in my opinion, that may have been the worst game of football I have ever witnessed. One shot on target from Morton (in the first half) and NO shots on target from Thistle (unless you include a block on their 6 yard line). I really believe that the Thistle players either did not break sweat, or are a shambles of a team with very little skill, imagination, will to win, fight, desire, self belief, talent or passion. The sort of things you need to win a game. Or at least, if you don't win, to get the fans either out their seat, or at the very least, returning next week! And yet, at Firhill: Paddy Boyle: Paddy felt that it was a game, that of the two teams, we had the stronger case for the three points. we did have the better of the chances. In the first half in particular we had two or three really good chances and if we had taken one of them then it could have been a different game entirely. All very well n good, but Paddy, you're describing a team who could not hit the target once in 90 minutes! Their keeper didn't have a save to make. The fact that Saturday’s game signified the third consecutive home game in which we hadn’t conceded a single goal was probably the main plus point to take from the 90 minutes. A plus? Or you can look at Morton and put them in the same bracket as Thistle. Devoid of anything and everything. “The manager has been stressing to us the importance of making our home games count and trying to turn Firhill into a place where teams really don’t want to come.” Well, as long as the team keeps that style of play up, there will be no atmosphere and away players will feel like they are playing in a reserve game. Is that the tactic? “I think we owe the supporters a performance against Stirling Albion. When we lost there in the league recently and when they won at Firhill it wasn’t as if we had been unlucky in losing. They were better than us on the day and that’s something we want to try and put right. It’s a game that we are really looking forward to.” Take aside the fact it is the Scottish Cup, are any fans looking forward to watching Thistle? It's one thing looking forward to attending... Meeting your mates, having a laugh... But is anyone actually looking forward to watching Thistle play against a part time team who have beaten us twice before the end of October? Ian McCall Post Match: Of the two sides it were Thistle that looked the most likely to break the deadlock, a view that manager Ian McCall concurred with. Really? Without making their keeper make a save? I felt that we had four really good chances. If you analysis the game then I think that we deserved to win 1-0 A bold statement from someone on a Saturday night who has almost definently not analysed the game. If you have 10 chances, hit the target with 3, then maybe you deserve to win 1-0. If you have 4 chances, and none of them hit the target, you have a problem. If we had done that(won 1-0) then everyone would be going home happy at the end of the game. Now that is nonsense. I don't think I would have been happy. Relieved, maybe. Happy, no. Satisfied? Definently not! We didn’t though and the strikers really need to start to put the ball in the back of the net and they have been made aware of that. See my signature quote from McCall under this thread, when he was trying to sell season tickets. I’ve few complaints about the way we played at the back and through the middle of the park. Really? That would suggest that we held the ball, passed it with ease and generally made it difficult for Morton. Strangely, I saw a defence and midfield who couldn't find a man, punted the ball in the air, or hit it 10 yards to the side of the player they were aiming at and watched the ball fly out the park. “There’s seven teams that are battling away at the foot of the league" Not strictly true, there are 5 teams with 4 points between them. Queens are 4 points above the five, equal with Dundee. Dundee have to wait on their appeal, but since they got their "points deduction" have not dropped a point, and don't look like doing so. Falkirk are only 2 points above Dundee and Queens, why not include them too. Is McCall saying that in November, that the league is a 2 horse race? We have a great support but at times I just wish they would really get behind us and give the players the support that they deserve.” What support did that display deserve? Does McCall think that that sort of football deserves £17 from people who in the middle of a recession are struggling to afford to buy fruit n veg for their kids, because a 99p microwave meal in iceland is a cheaper option? McCall, you are putting a product out to the people of Maryhill, first and foremost, then Glasgow. You are asking people to come see YOUR team, watch them, and enjoy it so much that they come back... On Saturday's show, what is there to come back to?
