Barney Rubble Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 So how many of the Must Win games did we win in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West of Scotland Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Everyone needs to start calling for McCall's head/blaming everything on Archibald now, so that if/when things go wrong at the beginning of the season, they can say, "Telt Ye! Why huv we goat three managers anyway?! The club's rotten from the inside oot!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be the first in the queue, but I think that (unfortunately) golden bollocks is safe until the new season starts, so I'll save my breath.

laukat Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Don't forget we still have Montrose on Tuesday surely that falls into the must win, not lose ... must not be seen being visibly drunk playing a football match? Also we still have a large degree of schadenfreude to discuss Will Brechin go quietly? Will Stranraer tip over the caravans? Will Falkirk redefine 'Hibs-ing it'? Which team will David Hopkin be responsible for relegating from the Championship? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledjag Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 For the next 3 months we can talk about - how great we were in the past month -whether we should forgive and forget OR black list all the clubs who voted to relegate us or who commented critically, and if the latter - which clubs we are going to support with our money and hopefully attendence, for example, ICT, possibly Hamilton - which clubs we should blacklist, for example, Dundee (backstabbers), (Bill Clark's) Raith Rovers, Queen of the South (there will be winners and losers), Dunfermline (SPFL Board Members) and Alloa SPFL Board Members); also take your pick from Ayr (then chairman donated £5k to the Arabs, Raith & Cove for legal expenses) Morton and Arbroath; have I missed anyone? - might need to add Kilmarnock or (take your medicine) Ross County but hopefully not Hamilton to the list. - I will develop another list for the season after next for SPL Clubs. As implied by my post it will be evident I am, in this matter, not a forgive or forget person. As per this season I will continue to donate cost of attending away games to Jags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which team will David Hopkin be responsible for relegating from the Championship? I will take great delight in watching Brechin falling out of the National League. Got me really angry when the Brechin chairman said "there seemed to be a consensus (among league 2 clubs) that no single club should be punished so severely due to the current exceptional circumstances"! I emailed him to ask him why he did not feel the same last year and why as an SPFL Board Member, if he did feel this way, he supported the relegation of H, PT & S; I pointed out to him his 'new' stance was inconsistent with his former views and I ended my communication by suggesting Brechin should if beaten in the playoff games (which at the time although still awaiting a decision I was sure would take place) take their medicine and go quietly to the Highland League in accordance with SPFL rules. Of course there has been no reply! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Will our triumphant victory be overshadowed by this breaking news?

Does one get the wrapper and the other biscuit? Or does Doncaster have to weild a ceremonial knife to ensure equal portions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dl1971 Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 I'll still be talking about one of the most miraculous thistle comebacks of my time watching them. Looking forward to mccall keeping the team moving forward and I think we may surprise a few teams next year. We have won double promotions before, so why not.

partickthedog Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Management-wise the most important topic will be how do we keep Big Wull on board. The dramatic impact his team talks have had on performances and results will have been noted and no doubt he will receive offers from teams in higher leagues and even perhaps from big business and/or Hollywood. What would make him pledge his future to Firhill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jags on tour Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 I hope Bobby Houston is getting his cairgo ready for the Euros, I’d be interested in knowing what beers are in his standard cairgo. You can’t really call a bag of craft beers as a cairgo, I think that’s more of a ‘sesh’ so I’m thinking he’s on the TL or Nelson Mandela. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as someone once said you can't please all of the people all of the time. As someone said earlier one league defeat in last 18 games. 6 wins out of last 7 and goals galore. Maybe a double promotion might get you onside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
