read'n'yell Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Just having a moment to look at the league and it has sunk in just how well we have done this year. Archie and all the team deserve a huge credit. It got me thinking that it really is a good time to be a Jag, so I looked back on how we have faired over the last 5/6 years (after the St Johnstone getting promoted season). Turns out every year (almost) we have improved. I can't imagine us finishing on less than 45 points this season, I really think we should be pushing for top six next year. 8th spfl 14-15 | +4 GD | 41 points (so far) 10th spfl 13-14 | -19 GD | 38 points 1st champ 12-13 | +48 GD | 78 points 6th champ 11-12 | +11 GD | 47 points 5th champ 10-11| +5 GD | 47 points 6th champ 09-10 | +3 GD | 48 points Anyway it's a great time to support Thistle and hope more fans start turning out as the club has gone from strength to strength and deserves our backing. Couldn't really ask for more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 You are absolutely spot on here. What makes it all the more ridiculous is the fact that we have had so many crackpots calling for the manager to be sacked during this season. I was actually thinking the other day about seasons gone by and the one which I don't think really gets talked about enough is season 98/99. We finished 8th in the 2nd division and were 1 point (yes, 1 point) away from sinking in to the bottom tier of Scottish Football. Would there have been any way back for the club if that had happened? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Peebles Tackle Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 It's a helluva ride being a Jags fan! Wouldn't have it any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, but I think we are down to about one malcontent now. The manager, his assistant and the team have done us proud this season. It will be even tougher next season given that we could lose a few vital players and a strong Hearts and perhaps Hibs or Sevco will be back, but am confident our manager can keep the improvement going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeredStirlingsrightfoot Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I agree with the sentiments here, I will never forget how empty I felt after the Ayr United 3-1 defeat end of season game or the journey back home on the train the next day. We've had some great performances this season and I hope for even more next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian_mac Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 It's a tough ask for them to do it in 6 games. Should they manage it though, it will be one of the greatest feats ever achieved by a Scottish team, and I don't say that lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
