I work with Thomson's sister in law .........there is no truth in this at all according to her. Would also have thought if we were going to try get Balatoni, he'd have featured on Tuesday night.

I don't think you can play trialists.

I'd like to think both Bryn and Flannigan will be signed before Saturday. Based on the interview with McCall on official website it looks like they are looking to see if we can get the hearts lad on loan as well.

Is the redevelopment of the ground such a bad thing ? Again, im a bit out the loop as to what is proposed to be done, but if it made money and brought the debt down, would it not be good. do people just have bad feelings about it as mistakes made in past and therefore trust gone or is there more to it ? i just get the feeling that in some instances no matter what is proposed or done, it is never good enough for some, yet no alternative is ever offered.

A lot of the time because of where I live and fact i can't get to many games, due to family reasons, I feel out of touch as to what is going on and how serious a financial situation we are in. I've just read the original post and it's very well written. I think there is too much "in house fighting" with us the fans and not a lot of positive action. I also feel aggression and anger seems to be the way for a lot to put across their point and shout down those who dare to oppose the them. How do we all try to pull together for the love of Partick Thistle FC.................I really wish i had the answer. Guess we could start, this coming saturday, to back the lads like never before and not get on thier backs the minute the first pass is misplaced.........it ain't gona cure our misfortunes but hey, it's a start.

Well i try to keep things in perspective. Were there not a number of 1-0 defeats last season ? That can be turned around and i'm hoping the lads have learnt from some of the mistakes made. Seen a lot worse from thistle over the years than i saw last season. Some of the stuff written on such forums has been way over the top. Not for one minute suggesting all is great but is it really as bad as some , like yourself, would have us believe.

Original thread was asking where we thought we'd finish. I happen to think we can finish 5th. Didn't realise I had to give reasons why ? But main reason is because I think we are better than the teams I mentioned will finish below us. Guess time will tell if im right or not.

your right Steven mate, I am sick of the non objective ones. For the record I do have my concerns (size of squad, lack of a goalkeeper, I like hinchy as a coach, not first choice) and I've sent an email to Allan Cowan to express them, to which i've had a reply. I don't share some of the utterly derisive and non constructive views on the club at the moment. I do feel there is some young talent at Firhill and some of the current squad , I believe, to be very good players. Yes there was a dip in form around xmas last season but the same lads were playing some excellant football earlier, which some either have forgotten or refuse to acknowledge. Seems to me that only those who want to run the club down or trash talk it want to be heard on these forums. I don't think all is great, but I wont be bullied or indeed sit back and allow some of the yobs on here to have it all their own way. Sure I'll have upset a few with my tone, but hell, they don't seem to care one bit bout who they abuse or slag off, so tough, it seems to be the only language some on here understand.

Thankfully, someone who actually backs the club. I'm with you.......100%.

Seems our Board can do no right !! Funny, I haven't heard any complaining from the 4 players involved and indeed, they all seemed very happy to re sign so where is the problem ?

I'd have thought they are waiting to air the new strip at our first home match. So expect it to be worn on Tuesday.

I doubt we'll consider taking Conroy back unless Boyle moved on. I'm willing to give Boyle time to prove himself. He picked up an injury last season which clearly hampered him. Problem now is, McCall has made it clear he doesn't want him so are the fans willing to give the lad a chance ?

I'm not a member but depending on work shifts (when i finally get back after illness) and family comittments, i may be able to attend.

Which Morton lost by 3 goals to one to our opponents on Tuesday, Bristol Rovers.

Reports suggest we hope to sign both of them next week.

No it is definately not just you .

I have faith in some of the youngsters at the club and can see some of them breaking through to be regulars this season. I'm concerned in the lack of activity with regards new signings but I do have faith in the management team and think we can have a stable season. We'll finish above Morton, Cowdenbeath, Stirling, Raith and QOTS.
