  1. Clean sheet! Hopefully we continue to build towards those play off games.....more confident we will be in the mix.
  2. As have some of the thistle fans on this forum who were full of doom n gloom pre match.....love it.
  3. Think you are very much against the grain....we are not a top class team, which is why we are in the division we are in. If we were to eradicate all of the mistakes you outline....we would in fact be Man City. FTR despite what you said we did play some decent football at times on a pretty tricky surface. Try and enjoy the win....
  4. Great result. Played well for about 70 mins and gave away a needless goal. All about the win today. Robinson and McBeth standouts I thought.
  5. Missed the last few games, so looking forward to this one. Will be tight and fiery I expect, but no reason why we can't win it.
  6. Been quiet Bobby. Didn't realise jails now have wi fi.
  7. We have just drawn against the team who are top of the league and drawn away to the team who had the best run of form recently. I'd say that is an improvement of sorts, but obviously we do need some wins. To say we are now looking at play offs for relegation is pessimistic in the extreme.
  8. As others have said our options are sadly limited in terms of making us better defensively. Maybe worth moving Milne into midfield and ngwenga to left back. I'm also thinking mcbeth ( I've read the comments ) may be worth a go at centre back. Final point....the entire team are responsible for defensive weaknesses, from front to back. Our failure is collective, not individually. To pin the blame on one player is nonsense.
  9. If Dundee United, Aberdeen and Ross County adopted this methodology they would have had quite a turnover in the board/chair department....as for managers, Dougie Imrie would have been toast after 10 games. Sometimes patience is a virtue.
  10. Once again a bit of perspective for those getting over excited by our one league defeat....in 2024! We are still in third, albeit I agree we are not great defensively, offset by scoring plenty to a degree. We trounced RC a mere 3 weeks ago and ran Livingstone close. Two PL teams remember. I'm bored with the attempted comparisons between McCall and Doolan. We all know the background why certain posters bring that up ( always in periods of adversity of course.... ). No reason why we can't make the play offs, but if we don't that would be failure in my eyes. Equally if we make it that's success, this season for me.
  11. It's obvious to everyone ( bar you ) that you have been given answers. It's just that you don't like the answers as your position is don't accept the tranche 2 payment ( which may or may not happen ) due to the dilution of shares. We get your argument, so there really is nothing more to debate. What I fail to understand is what sort of funding ( outwith of Gate money, hospitality, advertising) can the club/TFJ raise that would actually get your approval?
  12. Probably too many to mention lol. The Bobby Houston non goal still rankles to this day......
  13. On the podium as one of the worst decisions ever against us.....and that's saying something.
  14. The stats speak for themselves. I'd imagine if you'd said to the fan base in Feb 23, here is your next 50 games statistics in advance, 99.9% would have thought it highly improbable.
  15. Impossible to predict of course, but if raith get beat again I think they find it hard to recover; so 2nd up for grabs. Morton looking dangerous too and I think they will be in the play offs too. Not easy for us to beat ICT either, but 50/50 game. All to play for.
  16. Get that. They live off being in the SPL and the revenue that comes from that.
  17. Couldn't make the game today and gutted we lost. Will watch highlights imminently. Bit of context. We've just lost to a team who have been in the SPL for quite a few years. Their players and budget likely to be far superior to us. So is it really surprising we got beat?
  18. Amazing stat. Plus a GD of plus 42!! Average of 2 goals per game quire something over 50 games.
  19. I can't say whether Academies are financially viable or not. What I would say is what would happen if Academies didn't exist? They and systems like it benefit our young immensely, whether it benefits any senior club. Sometimes the greater good applies and perhaps the perceived cost is pretty irrelevant.
  20. No thanks. Let's have a bit of ambition. Decent winnable tie and then get the financial rewards LATER in the cup.
  21. Blink and you miss the highlights.....thanks BBC
  22. Idiots. But "spoiled the result"? Nope
  23. Turning a positive....into a negative.
