Did you see how there first goal came about ?It was right in front of me. Look - Robson had a shocking 1st half. I know he gave the ball away for 1st goal but I think McCall has to take some blame here. He had limited options but he had could have played Saunders at RB, for example.
I am only defending Robson on the basis that it was destined to be a big challenge, and likely to fail. He was playing out of position against the best team in Scotland; and he's hardly kicked a ball for months.

So, did the match take place without any "incidents" amongst the spectators? Is Firhill still in one piece (or more accurately, three disjointed pieces)?
There were a few rammies in the cw stand and quite a number of Celtic fans. They were primarily located next to the offices. There was a high police presence and lots of stewards. Looks like they’d taken a Pre-planned approach to contain them in that area if any trouble arose. There were a few dotted around. Indeed there were a couple right behind me - but they were <7 years old and with their dad.
I’m not aware of incidents in other areas. -
Aside from the cockup with selling colin weir stand tickets to Celtic fans online. Am I alone in thinking it was good to see the ground so full? If we played Celtic again I’d be inclined to give them 2 stands again.
I’d only keep 2 stands for us if we were confident of filling them. Can’t see that happening now.
i was worried that making it feel like an away game might lessen our enjoyment; or impact our team. That didn’t happen for me.

A left sided full back/wingback should be able to play down the right side without too much difficulty. Certainly from a defensive point of view. It can kinda negate his contribution going forward and even against class opposition we still need our wingbacks to get up the pitch..
I know what you are saying but disagree. Both penners and tommy are very one footed. Their natural tackling shape and foot make it much easier for a left winger to pass them on the outside.
We had few options today which is why I can understand why mccall played robson there. I’m sure he did that with reservations. But we can all agree that it did not work.tbf we may well have struggled if Williamson was playing. He puts in great deliveries but is poor defensively. Hence - we definitely need a rb. It’s our number one priority in my opinion.

Played pretty well. Banzo was my pick for our motm, but I though rogic was superb for Celtic. He was very impressive.
We definitely need a rb though (I saw Christie Elliot behind us) - wish he was still here. I felt sorry for tommy robson. He was poor but played out of position, against the best team in the country. McCall regularly doing his nut in shouting at him. I actually enjoyed sitting behind Ian. His passion is infectious.
i feel strangely positive after another of defeat. I’m not even drinking.
on we go to Arbroath (although I think we are missing that due to sons pesky scout camp).
-
Hmm - this is not looking great. I already have my tickets but can see why some fans will avoid. I hope lessons can be learned from this, and hope the game passes without incident.
it was odd that the tickets were not on sale after the game on Saturday. My guess is that we were just not organised. In defence of the club they have probably been distracted by recent events with colin weir. I think we also have fewer staff overall.
mind you after the game last Saturday I’d possibly not have bought tickets straight away.
I did notice that the Celtic slo was trying to get in touch with our slo tonight. Hopefully to return some tickets and/or put in place measures for Saturday.
-
In terms of getting tickets - can we just buy from the club office? I see there is an online way but I'd rather buy in person.
-
Zanatta in for kakay? Especially as it’s against his old team.

As far as I'm aware we are trying to keep them but it's up to the parent clubs. A way of looking at it is if they are deemed to be playing well their club's could be inclined to loan them out at a higher level. Fingers crossed.
Ah ok thanks. From what I read we are trying to keep them, and they want to stay. Hopefully we can swing it.
As an a random aside. What are the lyrics to that Gary harkins song? There was a bit about his baldy spot that made me laugh out loud yesterday.
-
Did I miss something. Are Cole and kakay leaving in January? I thought we were trying to extend their loans?
btw - loved it yesterday. Thought the team all played great. No failures at all.
-
I hope you guys go to the event at the club tomorrow. Otherwise this thread is going to go on for 200+ pages. You are all obviously emotionally attached to the club. Surely there are more productive ways of spending the countless hours on this topic; instead of bickering on this forum.

So assuming some space needs to be made, and also assuming folk are slightly more positive about the state of the squad, who are the players to move on to make room for signings? Robson, De Vita, Mansell and maybe Palmer? If Robson goes then we'd obviously need cover for Penrice.
I’d start with mansell but I think he’s on a 2 year deal. Would also ditch hall, de vita but think they are both loans. Despite harkins great cameo on Saturday I think he is also a waste of a wage (hate saying that as he is one of my favourite jags ever). I also don’t rate Williamson but we have no other RB, unless kakay moves back, and he looks better further up.
-
As an aside - really refreshing to partake in forum discussion on players; as opposed to all the tedious boardroom politics stuff. I joined in those other discussions for a while but much prefer debating the merits of the squad etc.
Also - really great to actually enjoy being at the football on saturday. It almost felt weird!

I would generally agree with your comment on Williamson. However, he did put in a much improved defensive performance in the second half yesterday and made several important blocks and interventions.
One combined move between Williamson and Kakay put me in mind of Ashley Cole and Wayne Bridge at Chelsea.
Remember responsible drinking at this time of year!

Spot on. We haven't had that sort of midfielder since Osman (pre injury). It's been clear that none of our midfielders can play that role (Caldwell even played Harkins there on occasion). Bannigan's style of play makes him best suited of what we've got to play there when needs must but that comes at a price. Even if he learned to be a clean tackler his reputation is so tarnished he'd still pick up too many cards.
Its funny how we can see things so differently. I actually think we have an excess of options in the middle of the park - the likes of Slater, Harkins, Gordon all not in the starting eleven just now. In terms of ball winning midfielder that's just what Banzo is there for. We also have Palmer who is not dissimilar to Banzo.
Central defence we also have mcginty, saunders, tam, hall.
Where's the cover/comepetition at striker or fullbacks? That's the priority for me.

Cole and Kakay have become priorities in my opinion. And Jone's performance yesterday, as well as the defence, made me think that there are players here that McCall can work with after all. Not saying it's all rosy, but maybe not the mass replacement that I thought it was just a few weeks ago.
Yip - I thought similar but think we still need more options up top. Jones will hopefully grow in confidence now that he has scored. Despite the fact that harkins did really well when he came on. He really can’t be an option up top on a more regular basis. I’d like to dump mansell and de vita and bring in a more worthwhile option. Not sure if that is likely or possible. Also think we need more cover and competition in the fullback areas. Williamson in particular- puts in great deliveries - but is very poor defensively.

I miss the 'Just In' threads.
These days they probably wouldn't start before we'd all drowned our sorrows.
Lol - I was just thinking exactly the same. I think the poster was called ‘clinically depressed’. Who wouldn’t be after reading the forum these days.
tbf - it’s been said already but I do think some posters spend a huge amount of time debating stuff back and forward. I know that what forums are for but a lot of the board/financial stuff has been rather tedious imo. I know I started a recent thread about jlow but that soon descended into pages and pages of a handful of posters debating who can be a director and how fan ownership works. I’d like to sponsor a few of the guys just to go to a pub, maybe in springburn or Jordan hill, and talk it out...

Yes I know!
i think I know who you are
I think you know who I am
and I think we both know Colin (I like him personally)
perhaps we should ditch anonymity on this forum I wonder if that would change peoples tone for the better who knows
I’m not sure. Are you Lynne’s wee brother? If so..hello :-) I guess we could also claim to be jordanhill jags also.
I agree about anonymity on these Internet forums. My own name is not exactly anonymous but if you don’t like my opinions I can blame it on my brother, or sons :-) we are all thistle fans.
btw - in all this... I was only expressing a concern. I accept that some folk think that the concern relating to jacqui is purely based on her performance.

Despite Blakey’s recent explanation that she/he accepted the reasons given, it seemed Blakey kept challenging after initial responses (including from me). anyway it seems one is no longer permitted to defend yourself from such accusations anymore. An expert has spoken -
I’ve just finished my ironing, so checking in again. I didn’t accuse specific individuals of sexism. I raised a question about whether there were elements of that in the fans responses.
i am also not colin!

So because she was shit at the job she had and was rightly ousted it will put other women off? Come on, what age are you?
Are we now in a world that if you are a woman and are shit at the job you automatically get to keep it because if you get the sack and it is a man who sacks you - you are misogynistic or sexist? This country is gonna be like the USA soon, ohh someone hurt my feelings SUE SUE SUE.Thanks - I’m nearly 49. Old enough to know better. I’ve tried to be polite throughout this thread. I appreciate you found my initial question as inflammatory. That was not my intention. I’m not going to convince you that some of the reaction and comments relating to jlow are sexist. I’m now bowing out, as I have some ironing to do.

Where on any level at any point has this Club been unwelcoming Maggie Forsyth was a Director long before Jlo
JJ - I think jlo’s experience might put off other women getting involved. it would be interesting to get feedback from any female posters on this forum.
i must confess I don’t recall Maggie Forsyth.

But there is none to challenge, only a poster or two that has come on asking if that is the reason and when being told no they are still claiming it to be the reason. And for those who have said it is not the reason they are now being told they are wrong. It is kinda like the original poster came on with the intention to start a stooshie and didn't give a hoot about any real reasons as to why she may not be liked.
Hey - that was me. I’ve already fed back that I raised this due to a genuine concern that some of the negativity is coming from unhealthy attitudes. Many people have refuted that. That’s fair enough and I think valid reasons are cited.
i didn’t post the original question to cause a stooshie, as you put it. It was raised as a genuine query. There is mixed opinion on this but I do not want the club to be seen as unwelcoming to our non-core typical fan base.

You seem obsessed with it! You came on and asked peoples opinions on if they believe it was sexism as to why folk dislike her. You got your answers that it wasn't yet you still bleat on in every post about it being sexism...kinda sounds like you have not just an axe to grind but you are trying to get someone to bite?
FWIW i think she appointed a terrible manager, her main business being PR she was terrible at that. She just seemed to be way out of her depth in interviews and everytime she spoke it filled me with a feeling of oh crap. Tbh so does Gerry Britton when i hear him bumbling on but that won't fit your argument despite you putting his name in there as if to deflect some.Thanks for your feedback. I would concur that most people have challenged my opinion. I don’t think I’m obsessed but just wanted to air something that was not sitting well with me. It’s certainly triggered some debate.
-
I’m not in her wee twitter group. But I also don’t know about the things you speak of. As I said - I’m just a fan who is concerned that the feedback about jacquis potential involvement is based on male prejudice.
ps. Your own tone about me being in a wee twitter group is wrong and also antagonistic.

Not seen the accounts, but think we are running at substantial deficit - based on ptfc.co.UK posting. Looks like colin weirs money is still propping us up.
