I am starting to think that this is a complete non-story based on a false rumour. I can't see anything more recent than 26th July DD. Am I missing something?

Jimmy McD Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Penrice was the half time guest on jagzone on Saturday I listened to the whole show due to being on holiday he said that missing due to concussion.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semi Nurainen Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Well, that's good news as his replacement was a bomb scare at left back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I'd have an ego disproportionate to my ability and would never look at the league table unti 36 games are completed. And I wouldn't accept that defeat at the hands of the Bunnet in two weeks time is any way detrimental to my managerial greatness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakey Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Is this story definitely dead, or can the players still leave after having their contracts terminated "by mutual consent". i.e. if they find another club? It does seem odd to have 4 central halves for example. That can happen outside the transfer window...or do we move on and hope this is not happening?

As I understand it no, you have to have been released before the end of the window to sign as a free after the window closes. So if Tam and Banzo were released from their contracts today, they'd be unable to sign for anyone officially until Jan 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firhillista Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 4 hours ago, blakey said: It does seem odd to have 4 central halves I don't think it is, at all. Ideally you want two players for every position, so there's at least a backup in the event of injury or suspension, so four centre halves is what you'd expect. It's impossible to know from the outside what the hell all of this was about. On Sunday teatime, Bannigan was going to Ayr, O'Ware to Morton and Penrice to Kilmarnock; by Sunday morning, they weren't, they were continuing as Thistle players. I don't believe for a minute that these three players had approached, or been approached, by these three clubs prior to Sunday, for all three 'moves' to have disappeared by Monday morning. The only conclusion I can draw is the someone is at it. While I suspect that not all is happy within the Thistle dressing room (and, given recent performances, neither it should be), stirring up trouble presumably to try to get the manager fired is pretty unpleasant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly Williamson and Robson will fit into that formation than in a flat 4. The sticking point is the lack of a recognised midfield enforcer. It will for sure give us options, and opponents might be confused as to how to line up against us if they don't know what shape we will be. Equally our guys could be completely confused if the formation keeps changing, but lets be positive until we know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
