She appointed him against other board members concerns
It wasn't a good appointment in the end but the backlash is disproportionate like I said appointing one bad manager happens all the time..for example how many bad managers have st Mirren apoointed recently and you never hear this sort of criticism of their chairman

Sorry forgot to add blew all the money we had saved in the bank from previous regime!
Going to be honest..I was interested to see what all the anti Jacqui Low stuff was about..and in my opinion from the responses it amounts to very little. Think Thistle fans would be better directing their energy towards a bunch of apathetic players and management

So you’ve conveniently forgotten that she hired Caldwell despite him being a serial loser and having no experience in Scottish football management. That appointment has really set the club back. Plus I’ll raise you the way that Doolan was treated, puerile club statements despite her being a PR professional, going in a huff when criticised about her and Caldwell’s videos, supporting a fan in the making of a ridiculous banner, the whole family club nonsense, hiring Caldwell, reappointing Rough to the board. Is that enough for you?
Can’t blame her for hiring McCall as that was her predecessor.She appointed the wrong manager.. basically that happens all the time

Appointed Caldwell, Presided over 3+ years of shite, PR disasters with her silly videos which she went in a huff about when people questioned them, treated Dools and Erskine like shite, reappointed Rough, Embarrassed herself on social media by getting the young team to make a silly banner in protest of the SFA/SPFL, All her nonsense family club, inclusive pish. She is a failed business person and if you have ever met her is a total egomaniac. In short she is an embarrassment and if this was the 80's 90's there would have been hordes of fans outside firhill demanding she be gone. Unfortunately we are in the digital era and with no fans at games we will be stuck with this tool and her sycophant cohorts for a long time to come. And that Thistle Foundation taking over is as big a joke as her and her board. We will be lowland league within 5 years if we keep on as we are.
Still doesn't amount to much. Thistles fans new bizarre infatuation with Jacqui low would be better directed at the players and manager. You're arguement basically amounts to she appointed Caldwell. He's actually done better than mccall
I'm not saying I'm a big Jacqui low fan but she is way down the list of responsibility for thistles current position

Put nothing in.
All spin zero substance
More interested in DMs to fans regarding banners or slagging others in support than leading
Splits the fans
Toxic
Anonymous for months
Insisted on Caldwell regardless of others voicing concerns
Allowed the shambles of Doolan and Erskine to happen.
Pretends is a fan
That basically amounts to nothing. Caldwell was to blame for the Dolan fiasco- toxic..overused word with little substance. Divides the fans- that's because ' she's' become a scapegoat. Caldwell probably would be doing a better job than McCall's. Most chairman arent the main investors- colin weir obviously trusted her with his money
As I thought unfairly targeted..take it out the players and manager

What is the problem with the chairwoman haha someone has his or her head in the sand!
On you go list the problems? No other chairman gets the same attention as Jacqui Low, its always the players and management first..she's put money into transfers and appointed managers the majority of fans were in favour of...so what should she have done differently??

What funds has Jacqui Low personally provided? As far as I can see she hasn't put any of her own money in but have instead spent/squandered Colin Weir's cash.
However leaving her financial contribution aside she has been chairwoman for most of the last 3 seasons. During which we narrowly avoided relegation, got relegated and are now getting turned over by Cove Rangers and Clyde.
She has managed to hack a fair old amount of Thistle fans during her tenure by various gaffes. If you need me to list them indiviudally then you haven't been paying attention.
For any club to keep such a divisive and error prone person in a senior post tells the rest of the staff that mistakes will be tolerated.
Go on list them ?? Colin Weir obviously had faith in her financial management. Why don't you blame the players, bannigan, foster, oware etc. and management before the chairperson.

Totally agree that there is a rot in the club from the chairwoman down. So before we go changing the manager we get rid of the Chairwoman and the Chief Exec?
Loved Gerry as a play but his tenure as chief exce coincides with our downwards spiral. If the Chairwoman and him were picking our next manager then what chance do we have?
Still believe McCall can get this right but I think he needs to look at being more hard nosed and cutting some deadwood from his coaching team. He also needs to drop a couple of 'names' such as Bannigan to get across the point that losing isn't acceptable.
From the team selection today we had no one on the park with any pace or creativity which made sense given the conditions but with 15 minutes to go and the score still level why not put on Lyons, Murray or Cardle to see if we could nick a goal?
What's your actual problem with the chairwoman? Give me some actual reasons? Backing managers in the transfer market, appointing a manager with a good track record that the majority of fans were behind, I think McCall's times up but the demise is not the chairwomans fault. To be honest it all began around the time Maxwell left. Blame the players, full time in a part time league, and the old pals act management team, but from what I can see the ' chairwoman' has provided funds, backed managers and has thistle at heart and is way down the list of people to blame for the club's current position

East Fife have a fantastic youth/community setup. Five star - its about more than the manager.
Fair point but he's obviously part of that so maybe could help implement something similar at firhill
-
Theres been plenty of time since Caldwell to turn things around. They've been financially backed by the board and we're even worse off than last season. We needed to build a new team starting with a keeper and central defence which have been a problem for years but we're going backwards from what I can see. Darren Young East Fife maybe- something to give a bit of drive and life back to the club

I don’t think any of the old firm signings we’re playing today? While they have been pretty poor the loan signings we have had - what about the likes of banzo who have done nothing in the last 3 years?
Totally agree. Mcall thinks banzo is a player that hes really not. Nothing against the old firm guys but think theres far too many loam signings in general

I wasn’t pleased with Spittal leaving - our player of the year and deservedly so while guys picking up a wage and doing heehaw like banzo, oware etc stay on
banzo in particular be really glad McCall is the manager as under him he appears undroppable despite contributing nothing in nearly 4 seasons now
Exactly. McCall thinks Bannigan is the player that he really isnt. Wants him to control the game, take the ball from defense etc. But the problem is hes not that good and he actually takes much more talented players out the game. Think we'd be a much better team without bannigan trying to be the main man

Far too many loan signings especially from the old firm. Guys that have no interest in putting in the hard work to get out of a league like this. Sorry to say this because i have supported them all..but mccall archie are almost too comfortable with the firhill nostalgia wrapped around them. Its been clear for about 5 seasons that the defense, keeper, is a massive problem but have made no progress in this area. Was never a caldwell fan but at least he gave them the kick up the arse they deserved. The mcall, archie thistle combo is far too cosy for all involved. Time for a change

Jukka Santala certainly helped us out, but he's the only one who springs to mind. All the others have been average to junk, often depriving our own (average-to-junk?) youngsters the opportunity to gain experience and perhaps improve.
Agree the old firm loan players in particular have been average at best and have rarely looked commited to the cause.

This is very interesting, and data seems true (Checking worldoneters) .https://youtu.be/FU3OibcindQ
Cases do seem to be increasing just about everywhere so the next month or so i think will really interesting in terms of what direction this is going and whether theres something in this 'casedemic' theory. Until theres a clearer picture though i think caution is still the way to go

Or to put another way, if the number of currently infected people is growing, R is above 1. If it is reducing, R is below 1
The R number is a lot more of a reliable measure when there are lots of cases. When cases are low it fluctuates a lot more depending on outbreaks clusters ect. Think It was above 3 at one point in Germamy about a month ago when they had consistently low cases after an outbreak at a factory. Point is as cases are at a low level in Scotland the R number becomes less important in terms of indicating how infection rates are changing

Bannigan too especially with his awful form last season? Pretty sure penrice only signed a one year deal
Bannigan always wants to take the ball, control the game and be the 'play-maker' problem is he's not that great at it - think hes not a bad player but hes not the player he or McCall thinks he is.. probably good enough to get in the side but not in the role McCall plays him

Richard Foster arguing the science and regulations of covid with the National Clinical Director on sportsound and claiming the Aberdeen players were just niave to the rules- brilliant

Good statement from Hearts. The farce which is Scottish football continues.
https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/article/club-statement-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9
The SPFL need to be seen to be doing something..so instead of acting against those involved Celtic, Aberdeen, their players with hefty fines etc, points deductions, they penalise the lower leagues so they can be seen as taking action..while keeping Celtic etc. on side- pathetic

Just been told there are 6 other incidents the press are trying to confirm and out ....
Thought it was interesting that Jason Leitch made it clear that if there were breaches from "now on" ( but not those previous to the "yellow card") then they might shutdown football. Also said that it was likely more stories of previous breaches would emerge in the coming days- seems to suggest he's been told in his meeting with clubs of more players breaking lockdown rules and are just waiting for it to come out.
-
Would be good to hear a statement from the SFA and SPFL on this..honestly their silence as a governing body at this time is just incredible. Anyone else got a problem with this?

Other Leagues and other sports do have the same problems, it is just that they don’t make the Scottish news. Down here several minor City and United players have broken rules recently. Then there were the sex parties under lockdown, some in Paris. In F1, Leclerc had an unauthorised visit home to Monaco and Vettel was in the same car as another team manager. Jofray Archer in cricket broke the lockdown rules they have.
Basically young men with too much money think the law doesn’t apply to them. I do agree that the penalties should be tougher, but I’m not sure that would fix the problem.
Fair enough it is a wider problem. My point was mainly we couldnt go 2 weeks without a game called off ( but that could be more to do with the cautious approach in Scotland). Whether they work or not there should be harsh penalties for those who break the rules- if football gets called off again puts hundreds of jobs in jeopardy ( nevermind peoples health by not following the rules) and if thats caused by the actions of a few players then that shouldnt just go unpunished. Didn't actually see the Aberdeen players taking much responsibilty in their statement. Something along the lines of ' we couldn't have foreseen the outbreak in Aberdeen when we went out'- Guess what thats the nature of Covid and thats why you follow the rules.The Football authorities have a responsibility to act here..their role is not only to negotiate the next sky deal to line their pockets.
What if they shut down the season?
