Woodstock Jag Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Question: Â Why do people assume that Jackie is all "pally" with the players? Just because he doesn't shout abuse at them in public doesn't mean he's somehow not being anything other than forthright behind closed doors. The impression I got from the reports around pre-season training was that actually, he was a quiet disciplinarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleGreySky Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Folk who think the Berwick result was worse than today obviously don't know much about Culter's status in junior football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brick_top Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 If Jackie isn't good enough to manage us, and some of the players aren't good enough to wear our shirt, then going by this thread, some of our fans don't deserve to be let back inside Firhill.

northernsoul Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) The Scottish Cup is the Scottish Cup. Shocks happen, big teams get papped out and underdogs have their day. Â Sadly, we were on the end of a shock today. I can accept that things like this can happen but it was the level of performance today that was so disappointing and just really embarrassing. Â Words can't describe how pish we were today. A full time team. Train five times a week, work on movement, set pieces etc. Â Culter were so comfortable it was frightening. Thank **** we're not playing Ayr next week because they would win and we would be dragged down to the bottom end of the league. Â As early as this is, I think this will make or break McNamara. We need to see a big, big reaction and good set of results starting next week. Edited November 20, 2011 by northernsoul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Folk who think the Berwick result was worse than today obviously don't know much about Culter's status in junior football. Â Â Correct. In yesterdays Mail it stated Culters normal gate reaches double figures....yes, they rarely get 100 people coming to watch them!! Thats the level of JUNIOR football they are at yet in todays Sunday Mail, McNamara is quoted as saying "we were lucky" I am not quite sure what part of, this is the worst result in our clubs history, people dont get!!

Â In the same article he's qwuoted as talking about next week saying: Â "We need to be mentally strong and professional in the replay." Â Should the manager not have assured his players were this yesterday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 SPL etc come in next round with the draw this coming week. Imagine we draw one of the uglies? Our boys will be really up for it after the support they are getting on here. Â I read somewhere that competition rules permit one weekend attempt at a replay in rounds 1-3. I think it makes sense when there are regional junior teams taking part, as a midweek jaunt to central Scotland would be pretty tough on them.

Plastic Whistler Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Why was there only one Thistle director there yesterday? I only saw Ronnie Gilfillan (unless I was mistaken). Â Shocking that they cant be bothered to see how bad the team they are in charge of play every other week. Â Not just yesterdays game, most away games you are lucky to see more than one or two. A bit of disrespect to other teams in my opinion. Â Seems that away games are too much of an inconvenience for them to attend to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good management is having a haemo on the touchline every six or seven minutes, waving your arms around and behaving like the football coaches from Chewin' The Fat. (Mind you, good management would also include not looking like you wish you were somewhere else, too.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kni Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 A further thought. Is Jackie committed 100% to a career in football management? Perhaps he'd rather be a sitcom writer. It's clear that he has been distracted from his job at Firhill from the start- http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15700423.stm Gilhooley... explained that he first met McNamara in a superstore car park. "I think it was the next day or that afternoon and he said, 'Fran, I can come up now'... "It is hard to be believe that we have went from that and, within 12 months, we're here and the pilot's finished." Did he tell the Directors when he was interviewed?

It was only a matter of time before that, and the players tweetes were brought up. The Treatment Room was written prior to Jackie taking on the job, if I remember correctly. He may have something to do with the development of his script, but it won't be huge amounts. I don't think that should be used as a stick to beat him with.

Jagsfan58 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Ah I love it. People happy with McNamara and the mob who spend more time on Twitter and Facebook that actually training or preparing for games. Whats your solution "back the team"? I done that in the form of the money I spent today to watch us draw with a pub team. Â You seem to be forgetting we are getting our players from pub teams - as you would call it - Erskine, Doolan and a few players not old enough to play in a pub team!

PaleGreySky Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Chris Erskine and Doolan are jokers? Chris Erskine was one of very few pass marks yday. He's one of the few players actually capable of going through a few players when a team lines up with 9 players behind the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistle4tw Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 It seems according to the Sunday mail jackie doesn't give a **** he appears to just be stating "we're still in the cup". which is good but why on earth has he not admitted that the performance wasn't good enough. Aye jackie those fans that went up to culter were thinking that as they made the 3 hour trip home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
