Yeah. I'm generally not quick to criticise, and I'm no expert when it comes to business, but I can't disagree with any of that.
-
Thanks for that. I wonder if how the budget situation will affect the timeline (or feasibility) of "everything functioning well".

Apologies for needing this clarified, but where are we regarding fan ownership exactly?
My understanding is:
That the PTFC Trust was awarded the shares.
That the PTFC Trust is only a few people.
That the PTFC Trust now has a decent and trusting cooperation arrangement with TJF.
But that TJF, which is the organisation with fan membership (and the capability of raising essential funds), doesn't actually have any ownership.
That any money raised by TJF going to the club will be a gift.
That TJF has very limited say in the running of the club.
That as s member of TJF I am in no way an owner of the club.
Is this correct?

Best wishes to everyone. I've heard from quite a lot of people taking it quite badly, and I felt pretty terrible on Sunday night and through Monday. Starting to ease but it still hurts.
In the end it is just a game. There are more important things. Rationally it shouldn't really matter. But rationality and football don't go together.
It will ease, and whatever transpires we'll still all be glad we're Thistle fans.

Brlliant stats. Not sure I can pick a favourite.
However I'm going to challenge that we scored 16 goals without reply on the run in to promotion in 2021?
-
Same approach as at Ayr. Go out to win the match. If we don't we might still get through.
2-0 is a great result on the night. No ifs or buts. But regardless of the score there was always going to be work still to do.

Malky McKay is going for the standard managerial tactic of talking the other team up. Kris Doolan on the other hand, unlike most managers, is talking up his own team.
I don't really understand why Kris Doolan's approach is so unconventional.
I think statistically you'd find that favourites win more often than not.
-
Always find it weird when someone misses the target (albeit narrowly) and they say, "the keeper wasnt getting there". Well yeah, the keeper didn't really have to get there, it wasn't going in.

"Englands expects."
All candidates for Room 101.
Listen, not taking anything away from the boy, but he definitely should of scored

I can see both sides, but if you accept that referees can be influenced by crowds, and whether you think VAR balances that or exacerbates it, then either way there is a potential advantage for one side if it's installed at one ground and not the other. I think even if you don't find that argument convincing, it has to be seen to be equal conditions for both teams across the two legs and VAR in one leg but not the other risks that.
Yep, okay. Reasonable argument.
By the way, I don't see any problem with one half played with var and the other not. Or it being used in different ties across the same competition. But the home and away argument holds some logic.
All notwithstanding thst I will always hate it as it spoils the spirit of football, and I'd much rather some dodgy decisions and still being able to celebrate goal when it hits the net.

For sporting integrity it would have to be VAR at both legs, or neither.
I've never understood this argument. I've even heard it used about inconsistent use of var within the same competition (e.g. FA Cup). Can you explain the issue?
Personally I hate var and wouldn't have it anywhere. But if you accept the argument that it leads to more correct decisions (which has to be the point of it), then why would its use in one game be worse that having it in neither? It's the same for both teams.
Not having a go, just looking for an explanation that I can understand
-
It's popular with me
-
And everyone (certainly on telly) is forgetting that we currently have three players who'd probly be starting who are out through injury. Its not like Doolan has been really lucky with injuries.
Though i do think we would still struggle without Brian Graham
-
Interesting that Rovers and Wanderers caught on as football club names, but Ramblers didn't.... nor Paperstainers.
-
Okay at risk of opening divisions... Please don't let it, I just think it's an interesting question, so here goes...
I think everyone is now in agreement that Kris Doolan is doing a great job and bringing him in as manager has worked out really well, and clearly improved the team.
I personally thought that sacking McCall was a bit harsh, but I had mixed feelings. While I think he did a decent job in stabilising and improving thistle in both his spells, I never really felt thst he was going to get us into the Premier league. Far too inconsistent.
My other thought at the time was that, while I love Kris Doolan, he was either a risky appointment given lack of experience, or the desperate move of a club that had no other options. Or both.
So my question is this... Did the club just get lucky, in that the guy we turned to has happened to be a great manager (at least so far)? Or did someone at the club see something in Kris Doolan to indicate that this would work out well, that he had real potential, and that it was therefore a smart and positive move?
-
On thing all the pundits agreed on before the Ayr United tie...
"Thistle will definitely find it tougher than Queens Park".
-
Doolan speaks differently from just about any other managers I've heard. He's not afraid to say that his team are really good, to pick out the attributes of his players, to challenge other teams by saying, this is a statement and we'll get better.
He might fall on his face, but it's working so far. And to be honest, it's brave of him, but I can see how it would work well with the players.

Get out your cars. Better ways of getting about.

2013 was a brilliant season. The feeling of pride in this current Jags team is getting towards that, largely thanks to Doolans attitude to the playoffs.
I love Doolan's attitude, and in his own recent circumstances its even more credit to him. Its quite unusual for a manager to speak so positively, to come right out and say, yes we can do this. I think he's great to listen to and I can understand why the players are responding well.

2013 team was my favourite Thistle team in 40 years of watching. If we could do it, exactly 10 years on, with Banzo, Aero and Stevie Lawless in the side, and Dools in charge.... Right, don't get carried away Alan, long way to go.

I'm certainly not mocking Queens Park and I hope the people looking after them are a lot more responsible than those at Gretna, because they are custodians of a very special.club.

It's a shame. Queen's Park is one of the most important clubs in the history of world football. But I suppose they are where they are, most of their fans died over 80 years ago, and it's very difficult to build a new fanbase.

If I remember correctly, the PTFC Trust was keen to keep the old board in place because they were doing such a good job.
I have to say well done to the people driving things in TJF. Without their knowledge and determination who knows where we'd be.
