AHAHAHHAAAHHAHAA Thanks BB.

Was looking for me near the bottom. Won’t last.

Are they not meant to be our best pals now?

Dundee Utd away

If it improves his crossing, who cares!

Geggan and Erskine both cup tied apparently, but the new loan signing is available.

My mate who is a Falkirk ST holder said they were far from convincing on Saturday. Not sure if that makes me feel better or worse as it may be the team that grinds out a result when not playing well that will no doubt top the division.

I think McCall will be here next season regardless what happens this year. To be fair to him, he has had to deal with more issues than any other Thistle manager and he left a comfortable job at Ayr where he was overachieving (look where they are now) to come back to a difficult job here. He has also had some of the most horrendous injury lists to deal with. To be harsh on him, we are in a mainly part time division and have struggled against better organised teams. Some of the big name signings have underperformed to an eye watering degree and lack of confidence on the pitch has spread to off the pitch. Personally, I think he will be given the time to turn things around and I just hope that he manages it. Lambie brought in season pros when we were last near the bottom of this division and it worked out well. Not saying that McCall is anywhere near this level, but my optimistic Thistle head feels that we are due some good times after what we have all suffered in the last few years. Mon The Jags.

Arguably our toughest 2 fixtures are first up. Take advantage whilst they are rusty or play them before our new signings have gelled? With that thought I’m 50/50 with the outcome. I think the starting 11 will mirror what happened on Sunday with Erskine coming on to stick one in the top corner to win it for us. Mon the Jags.

18 or 22 though?

Andy Geggan mentioned in his Jagzone interview ‘with Stevie Bell coming in...’ so I expect that will be the next one to be announced.

I’m definitely in the 50/50 camp with him but 100% behind the decision to let him go. To fair to him, he didn’t duck a question and gave his reasons for some of his more questionable decisions. Interesting that he finally admitted not bringing Dools on at QOTS was a mistake and his comments about the board changes and the Barnsley owner visit were eye opening. Not impressed with the Erskine/Dools bashing though...

Let’s have a go this season haahaaaahhaahaahhahh

Just been talking to my Falkirk supporter pal, who heard from someone who works for Falkirk that Zak called the ref a C...

Decision expected today according to Daily Record. Hope it’s a positive one for the Jags. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/spfl-court-battle-live-hearts-22294797.amp

If we start in League 1, whenever that may be, we should demand that fixtures set out are fulfilled. We (and I expect Falkirk) are/will be ready to play. So if the no voting clubs can’t afford to fulfil their fixtures, we will accept a 3-0 victory and battle out with the Bairns.

Because just as it’s unjustifiable to relegate a team 2 points behind with a game in hand, the same should apply to sacking a manager in that position. I would be astounded if Aston Villa suffer the same fate as us (in a similar position) should they be unable to finish the season. I appreciate results haven’t been as they should, but he’s had half a season to turn round the worst Jags team for a long time. Just my option as others are free to disagree, don’t want us wandering off topic.

I enjoy Andrew’s vlogs and wish more Jag fans would do them, so hats off to him for that. I also completely disagree with McCall comments as I believe he is the one to turn us around, it will just need a little patience. Those who say he should go because we have been relegated are bonkers. No guarantee we would have survived, but I thought we were starting to see the signs. Time to stick together and vent our frustrations on SPFL et al not our own.

I like this idea Norge, but surely no relegation and two up via pyramid keeping status quo in Championship. Leagues 1 & 2 is best for everyone.

How about this for a plot? Dundee hold out their vote/non-vote as long as possible. Rangers go bust again, but given past performance are allowed to join League Two again. Hearts still relegated due to annoying the SPFL and Dundee prompted for getting Doncaster out of a hole. SPFL forget to relegate Thistle and Stranraer and everyone lives happily ever after.

After 2004, I always held a bit of negativity towards ICT. Changing the rules halfway the season to shaft us (and other teams who forked out to meet requirements) was just unacceptable. Listening to their chairman today has completely changed my attitude towards them. Sticking to their guns, despite the possible financial implications, for the sake to a fellow team is outstanding. Also calling us ‘Thistle’ was class. BBC have also published photos of the 3 no votes on their website.

Another I remember was when James Grady returned to Firhill after his big money move to Grenta. After going down easily just outside the box, a guy nearby shouted; ’What happened, Grady, tripped over your wallet?’

With the current lack of action on the pitch, I wanted to celebrate the action off the pitch with your funniest Red and Yellow army shout outs at a game. This is why I love this club so much. Mine is as follows... A through ball is played for striker Quinton Jacobs (may have been from Albert Craig) but hit too hard and the ball goes out for a goal kick. The guy behind me jumps up and shouts out ‘He’s from Namibia, not f*****g Kenya!’ Brilliant .

They were speaking about this on Off The Ball recently. Apparently Leighton hid the fact he wore contacts from the management team. He had to confess and told them at half time he lost one and was subbed for Roughie at half time. That Cooper penalty will always stay with me as I was glued to the TV for that match as a young kid. I remember every time he got the ball I got excited that something great would happen for Scotland.
