How confusing.
Not confusing at all, Tricky Dicky. I was replying to Red Monkey's earlier instructions to "SFTU" in his own blunt language rather than my own. He is intolerant of anyone who expresses views that are contrary to his own. This should be an open forum for all supporters, including critics such as The Cup and BGM, not just fanboys and cheerleaders.
ETA - I agree with Thick As Thieves above. Dundee and Killie have benefited from escaping their debts or having them written off. Similarly, it's possible that we will be, even are now, competing for players with Hearts and Hibs who are also debt free. The playing field is not even.

If it weakens both teams then it's even better.
^A few teams seem weaker. It's hard understand why Accies released Antione-Curier, especially with Andreu leaving too. They've scored at least 20 goals this season. It's also good to see McKay leave ICT without being replaced. The Arabs will miss GMS and Armstrong too. By contrast, we have strengthened our attack and should pick up a few more points from the clubs above us over the rest of the season.

^ I'm not taking twisted satisfaction in a failed signing and give all signings the benefit of the doubt. I'm taking exception to Red Monkey's false accusations and his repeated attempts to stifle debate. He likes to dish out criticism but can't take it. It's a bullying, sociopathic mentality that is deeply unpleasant.

It's pretty simple. I'm a fan giving my opinion. My opinion is that you and your fellow critics should STFU and give the rest of us peace. Your line of argument has been well and truly debunked. What's left for you to argue about? Archie standing with his arms folded on the touchline is a sign he lacks passion? Or that he should wear a suit because it will give him more authority? Vested interests? What utter drivel is this? No conspiracy here. Just stating the obvious. You are out of your depth.
What line of argument has been debunked? Doubts that Eccleston and Carroll were not as good as ATS and Taylor as you and Dark Passenger claimed at the end of August?
When have I criticised the manager stance on the touchline, suggested that he lacks passion or stated that he should wear a suit? Please provide links to the relevant threads. If you can't - stop trolling, give us peace and STFU!!

There have been poor signings. Anyone want to argue that they haven't been dealt with swiftly? Ruthlessly? They have all been moved on by the next transfer window. That's the sign of a good manager.
The critics are now left scrabbling around. Their main arguments in tatters.The fact is we are now a much stronger squad than at any time since we were promoted. We are in a better league position and one game away from the last eight of the cup.
So, as i said. STFU.
This a forum where posters are entitled to express their opinions, even poor or misinformed ones. What gives you the right to tell anyone to "STFU"? You are not a moderator, just a mouthpiece for vested interests who want shut down debate on here. Your authoritarian tone is nauseating. So why don't you, to use your own terminology, GTF?

McNamara paid Killie £150k for Robbie Muirhead. That should should weaken them a bit.
-
Can't argue with that. When you look at those 3 signings in isolation it doesn't look too good for Archie. Throw in Kerr and I think we can conclude Archie is virtually clueless when it comes to picking a player!
That's unfair. There have been a few poor signings, including Piccolo. But they are balanced by good signings like Higginbotham, Gallacher, Fraser, Osman, Frans and Seaborne. Our signings this season have, with a couple of exceptions, been as good as or better than last season's.
The key is to sign players who have played at our level or higher, i.e. League One. Ideally, the manager should have the chance to scout and/or assess players on trial. Hopefully, the new scouting system at Thistle Weir will help the management team identify a few gems.

Has Duggan recovered from the injury that he got at Queen's Park?

FAO Dark Passenger
Celtic have signed Michael Duffy from Derry City.
The SFA website also says that St Mirren have signed Michael Brewster from FC United of Manchester.
Aberdeen have signed defender Lukas Culjak, ex Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

M8, you're about 5 hours behind most other folk. Check the list.
Meh. I was just surprised that Neil Lennon went back for a player who hardly featured under him.Celtic's deals for GMS and Armstrong are much more significant
-
The BBC has just reported that Filip Twarzik has signed for Bolton Wanderers for an undisclosed fee.
-
you get an autobahn for that
Kraftwerk fan?

I hope that Jukebox Rebel will post more of his historical photographs, ideally in screensaver/wallpaper dimensions.

A couple of years ago, Watford had 10 loanees from Udinese in a single season.
You are right but IIRC the rules have been changed since that ridiculous case. Watford had to sign a few players on permanent deals or terminate their deals.
-
Quite right. I wouldn't wanted be called after a motorway either. Tho' I quite like the sound of Santa Monica Freeway or Autoroute du Soleil. Bit classier, eh?
I get my kicks on Route 66!
-
You're telling me you had? Sure, m8.
Several times and don't call me m8!
-
I was obviously putting a positive slant on his signing. You, on the other hand, had completely written him off before he'd even kicked a ball. There was no point in pining for Taylor.
You hadn't seen him play for Liverpool or Blackpool? Even on the telly?

They weren't good enough. As I pointed out (numerous times) we still had this window to sort it out. Still waiting on that evidence that I trumpeted Eccleston. Have you dug it out yet? Either way, fancy discussing if we are a stronger team now than at any other time since we were promoted? You and the other Archie critics have been left red faced. Utterly clueless.
I was a critic of our lack of scouting system, not the manager, subsequently confirmed by the Thistle Weir advertisement.
However, I seem to have confused you with our troll from the Directors' lounge.
Perhaps we should send Nathan on loan to a First Division club for half a season... Eccleston's never had to play at that level because there's always been a who think he's capable of more. That's resulted in him scoring more than double the number of League One goals Lyle has in less appearances. That's right...Lyle Taylor has 52 appearances and 2 goals in League One to his name. Eccleston has scored 6 goals in 49 appearances at that level.Dark Passenger thought that Eccleston was better than Taylor!
-
Strange one Hamilton releasing Antoine- Curier. He has been a regular for them this season
It is very strange. Has he fallen out with Canning already?
-
Fyvie evidently going to Hibs till end of season.
Disappointing - hoped that he could be a surprise signing for us.
-
Gary McDonald has been released by St Johnstone.
-
....STFU to the Archie critics. Great piece of business again in the transfer window. Up. Ye.
You trumpeted the signing of Eccleston on here as a suitable replacement for Lyle Taylor. I pointed out his rotten scoring record but you said that that he was a typical Thistle signing - a player with something to prove. What went wrong with him and Carroll?
-
This has officially made my birthday
Many happy Taylor returns!

All For The Good Of Scottish Football
in Main Jags forum

The only way to deal with violence and sectarianism is to deduct points or kick them out of competitions. All the Ugly Sisters get (and other clubs with thuggish and racist "fans") are paltry fines. The blame lies with the SFA, UEFA and FIFA who are unwilling to punish them severely. Change begins at the top but football suffers from weak, inept and (at times) corrupt leadership.
