Aliballibee Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 From the BBC Scotland thread on the game, interesting point by McCall: "McCall isn't ruling out his former side - currently 10 points behind leaders Dundee United - making a late charge for the title, but reckons they'd be favourites had they done more to keep Kevin Holt and Ross Docherty last summer. "I was pretty certain that given the correct deal, where it's since been proven that they could have afforded it, Holt and Docherty would both have stayed," said McCall. "And I think them in this Thistle team would make them favourites for the title. There was just so much unrest around Thistle at the time and I think that's why they they got out the door."

So how would we have persuaded them to stay? Offer premiership wages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Mccall would be better served worrying about how to claw back the 8 point gap Clyde are adrift at bottom of league 2 especially with an away match against the league leaders tmrw. Re our match, big chance for someone to claim their place between the sticks for remainder of season. Dunfermline not on best form but that goes for nothing when it comes to Jags. Already on my over 2.5goals coupon just hopefully more of the goals for us. 3-1 Jags. ps this thread should have been started tmrw after the game 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it there was one player we would have offered an acceptable renewal contract to, who would likely have stayed. Missed out as our re-financing only came thru a day or so too late. McCall is perhaps partly correct but he's coming across more like an agent than a manager. Edited February 23 by lady-isobel-barnett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy McD Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Just looking out the window and watching the relentless rain 🌧️ coming down, hope they have got the bit in front of the J.H.S. near the corner covered, it looked bad Vs.

Jaggernaut Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 It's 23:40 here, and after a couple of glasses of cheap white wine, I'm heading to bed in the hopes that I can (a) get up in time to watch the match live (KO 04:45), and (b) not regret having got up to watch it! Thoughts of how we slaughtered them some years ago in a crucial match (truly joyful) loom large. Monra Jags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Peebles Tackle Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Will be tuning in from sunny Millport, thankfully no time difference… Hopefully we’ll be a few up by the time the 3rd bottle of wine gets opened. 🍷 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell was genuinely injured but there might be substance in what you're saying. Surprised Stewart has got the nod ahead of him.

banderas Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Graham should have passed to fitzpatrick , Graham is on his normal hit rate of 1 in 4 mcinroy needs to be clinical with chances macbeth needs to overlap lawless to give him the option of driving inside or pass to the outside man and also when he does a dummy actually mean it Stewart needs to play as if he a real goalkeeper and not a competition winner. between coming for crosses and missing , poor clearances and dropsy palming to the Centre of the six yard line . and the officials are the real amateurs on the pitch . 1-1 god knows why we are so generous !! that's what it looks like at HT from Tejas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
