I didn't know him personally, but I heard him wax lyrical at numerous hospitality events. His humanity shone through. A big loss but what a legacy. Go gently Robert.
Clearly this will be a very different looking thistle team next year. Will it be better who knows. I agree it was time for Banzo to move on, but he deserves great respect for his thistle career. Those who could not see what he brought to the team are pretty misguided. Scott Brown knows a thing or two about playing midfield I'd imagine.
Obviously impossible to call at this point. What i would say is most thistle fans last season thought we had a good squad capable of promotion ( early season ), but were soon proved wrong. Budgets can be mispent so that may apply to our competitors. My gut is somewhere between 3rd n 6th, but much will depend on our signings and of course if we keep our better players.
Hardly surprising that Wilson's role would have been positively stated. Whether it's accurate may be another thing. I'm beginning to think that Graham turned it down as maybe he was to be subordinate to WIlson? The full story will come out....maybe.
All the best to him. Plenty of thistle fans were unsure about Archie and doolan getting the job, but by and large they did a decent job. Agree that Graham has to go for all the right reasons. As always Wilson will be judged by players recruited and performances. Interesting times.
I have no idea whether the role of the SD will be successful or not. What i am sure about is that no one can possibly judge him in 4 to 6 short weeks..... Yet some posters are doing just that. Perhaps some of these posters have some insight into the machinations of the role? I suspect not bar a Google search. He's not a miracle worker, so let's take a wee breath and see how this all unfolds.
Think our luck ran out tonight. Livvy were clearly better than us, but we should have scored at least 1. Not quite all over, but it feels like it right now. However much like the ayr game if we do manage to score first, it's game on.
I'm expecting two very tight games. Our team has a good bit of steel about it, so hoping for more of the same. Recent wins against Falkirk, Livvy and Ayr gives us plenty of confidence. The fans backing huge in these games.
On train back. Backs to the wall with a weakened team, but boy they gave it their all. Young low magnificent. Graham once again to the rescue. Who knows what happens next but enjoying this moment.
