Third Lanark

Nothing against you personally mate but your club in the last few years:Stabbed us in the back with the 10,000 seats rule along with other clubs of course Insisted on keeping the ridiculous one up one down rule in the SPL Last time we played you in the cup rallied round your player who punched the ball into the net ie cheated and moaned at Thistle for being sore losers in 2010 Have now pinched the best Manager we have had in over 10 years Will now be pinching our best players So realistically dont be too surprised to see a bit of anger from Jags fans just now

Surely David Rowson knows the club better than Shuggie? For what its worth my choices would be one of Billy Reid, Owen Coyle, Derek McInnes, Ian Murray, Colin Cameron or Paul Hartley. We probably wont consider any of them but they are my choices. Really could not be bothered with the likes of Calderwood, Duffy, Chisholm etc And I think at this stage Archie, Shuggie Murray would be too much of a gamble more so than Jackie was when he was appointed though I do realise he was a bit of a gamble as well. Would be happy with Archie as assistant to any of my choices on the top line but I guess its up to the Manager to appoint who he wants as assistant

Has Bollan really been more successful than Hartley. Hartley may be many things but not convinced he is unintelligent

Unfortunately I cant see that. This has to be damaging to our promotion bid no matter who we get as replacement Theres an even greater chance of players leaving to Dundee United in the summer If it was the case I would expect us to have been actively looking for a replacement. There are rumours that McNamara is left for free and while thats likely to be a pile of rubbish if it was true I would be questioning why Beattie was flaunting McNamara on a new improved contract a few weeks ago

Given that Hartley applied for the Raith Rovers a post a few months back I think he would apply for the Jags Manager if the position was vacant

Im not saying they are godo or not but I am pretty sure the following will apply Billy Reid - Applied before we knocked him back as we wanted Dick Campbell Paul Hartley - Done okay at Alloa Ian Murray - Done okay at Dumbarton Allan Johnston - Done okay with QOS James Grady - Great player but did nothing on a far bigger budget as Manager of Morton - no thanks If the post is available then I think those 5 would apply BUT all irrelevant if Jackie hopefully stays

Very sad news, can only echo the comments above that thoughts are with his family at this very sad time. RIP Bill

Agree with all about Bannigans performance absolutely fantastic and a great player for us. Sadly Stuart's gran had just passed away a few days before the game so wont have been easy for him or his family at this difficult time.

For those of us who dont buy it could you please expand?

Well done all for organising this. Fantastic work

Thanks Graeme and I hope things work out okay for you

According to todays Daily Record both ourselves and Dundee are trying to sign on loan Aberdeen's Declan McManus http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aberdeen-hitkid-declan-mcmanus-set-1524150

Maybe mate but can we really afford to let players go for free when we are struggling financially and we could get cash for Rowser

Stenhousemuir would need to offer us money contract not up till summer

Hopefully Hibs and maybe stop Fenlon always looking to nab our best players

Great news! Well done Steven and a real boost before tomorrows game

Happy New Year to all fans, players, Management and staff at Partick Thistle you have done us all proud in 2012 and please more of the same for 2013

If Kris was really wanting to leave and there was no way more money or talking was going to change his mind and Dundee offered Baird plus cash then yes, but mostly because Kris cant be persuaded to stay - I only hope he can be. Would take Baird to Daryl Duffy as the former has scored regularly in the first divison, as Daryl would be more of a gamble.Could see someone like Dundee unfortunately making a few signings on great players like Kris Doolan. Lyle Taylor, Archie Campbell as they have the money and need to launch a major offensive to try and avoid relegation.

I never saw any advertising for hospitality for this game and couldnt see it from where I was sitting. Was it on today?

Merry Christmas to all players, Officials and fans you have all done us proud this year. A massive thank you

Could some of these SPL clubs not start looking at our friends from Dunfermline - many of their players will be itching for a move if they are not getting paid properly or our chums from Greenock say Tidser, Archie Campbell etc rather than cherry picking ours Incidentally if we lose Craig and Doolan and provided Dunfermlien are still mucking players about think we could do a lot worse that Ryan Wallace, still young and capable of goals or even John Baird who never seems to have got much of a chance at Dundee

Yep everytime I post, you just dont agree with them My latest suggestion for the future I made back in July was Queens Park player Lawrence Shankland as possibly one for the future - but I guess time will tell

Ironically I was one of those delighted to sign Murray - not saying he has been a bad signing at all but wonder if perhaps Hardie may not have been such a bad signing instead.

Thanks for the info will.I might switch to wearethistle till the end of January while the transfer market is open then switch back to Cancer Research UK for February

Ive got to admit I had signed up on easy fundraising to Cancer Research UK as they do such valuable work is there any way that you can sign up for a couple of groups rather than just one charity? I also have to say I am terrible at remembering easy fundraising, many times I buy something online then only realise afterwards I should have went through the easyfundraising.
