With the same squad of players under a different leadership we could do so much better. Archie just go now. Left after an hour. Literally no point staying. Wish I'd kept my £17 and spent it in Ayr pubs. Heart ruled head. Luckily Skybet will pay for my day out. Never felt so negative towards Thistle in my life. Surely someone behind the scenes must see the bigger picture. My non Thistle supporting mate who was at the game today is in agreement. Can't believe Archie is still in a job. Time for a change . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Archie's league record since January does not stand up to serious scrutiny. He's dead meat, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggot Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Hopefully the Weirs (as fans) can put some pressure on getting rid of Archie otherwise first division football looms As fans we probably have to gather post match outside Firhill and protest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when we or any other club get to the stage of calling for some manager to get sacked. It goes against all that is fair amongst "the workers". Archie has a family and bills to pay. I am 100% positive he's not woke up one morning and decided he wants to be a sh!te manager. That said they go into football management with their eyes open Edited August 4, 2018 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a double relegation the only thing that will make these ****tards take notice? Hey but surely you realise other teams knew which league they were in a whole week before us.

Hankey Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Archie has actually managed to find a worse player than Devine, and on a 2 year deal! Also that bench, what a disgrace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please walk away now Archibald, while you can still hold your head realatively high. My eyes are bleeding watching this awful brand of hoofball.

I get your sentiment - but you missed Morton and Albion Rovers. I take it you want rid of our new chairperson,chief executive and the management team ?

Most fans hoped archie would turn it round. He hasn't!! He's had more chances that any other manager in recent times. The point is as clear as the nose on your face.

King Kenny Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 That was worrying. To start a season with players playing out of position and a bench that is 3 players light is shocking mismanagement from top to bottom. We've known since May that we would be short of a right back, why wasn't that addressed? We seem to be missing out on signings left, right and centre which goes against the "competitive budget" story we were all fed at the start of the summer. I'm not naive enough to think we would sign every player we went for but our recruitment policy has been terrible for the last few summers. I didn't have high hopes for this season, history tells us it's not an easy division to get out of. I had even less hopes when I saw that lineup and bench today. However, I did expect a reaction. I expected to see players showing grit and determination against a team that turned them over the week before. We were soft as hell all over the pitch, last season revisited. The week coming up is huge for us. We go in to our first home game with no new signings and a similar team as today then it isn't going to be pretty. When we won this league we had great momentum and a feel good factor from the off. It feels the exact opposite just now. I'm a huge Archie fan, always have been but the same old mistakes are being made time and again. He needs to fix it and fast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you want rid of our new chairperson,chief executive and the management team ? The Albion Rovers game as an embarrassment as we toiled against a bunch of junior players. And Morton should have beaten us based on that second half performance. And yes. I think our new Chairman would rather virtue signal and prioritise "fan engagement" (free tickets for aromatherapists etc. etc.) over actually building something decent on the park. Our CE is another example of jobs for the boys. Despite being a Jags man, Britton doesn't strike me as having a ton of football knowledge, or contacts that will help build a squad. And I've been calling for the management team to depart since the top-6 split two seasons ago. Edited August 4, 2018 by Yellow & Redneck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge Archie fan, always have been but the same old mistakes are being made time and again. He needs to fix it and fast. He's had a full season. Two full close seasons and a winter transfer window. Not to mention the start of this seaaon. What quality player is going to sign for us in our present state? How long does he get. I said in a previous post we should stop the critisism and get behind the team but that was befor the last two games. Not now. We change or spend the next few seasons pissing about in the lower leagues. I for one am pure ragin given how strong we were 2015/2016 and2016/2017.
