Barney Rubble Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 How is he improving Doolan's game? Wheres the evidence to back it up? Thats just a baseless statement to try and justify his performance so far. Doolan has been our first pick striker for a reason. What's baseless about my statement?

kni Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 The amount of times we lose late goals , you think you'd get used to it but naw, still feels like a boot to the baws!! Not sure Archie gets a 3 game ban. Think that rule only applies in england. I thought that it was 3 games for violent conduct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Doolan has been our first pick striker for a reason. What's baseless about my statement? He was our first choice striker last year and is again, so erm explain how hes improving? If you want to dig up stats, if anything hes regressed since last year based on the amount of goals scored.

scotty Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 So, how many folk still think Friday night football is the best thing ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantB Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Got to agree with MWM with regard to Doolan. He was the league's top scorer last season. He'll get nowhere near that this year. We're better than QoS, Ayr, Morton and possibly Raith. Not where I want Thistle to be sadly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennythistle Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I thought that it was 3 games for violent conduct. It may be now. i remember the Morton skipper getting straight red against us for trying to kill Erskine and only got one game. May be they have brought in the 3 game ban rule. Guess time will tell.

If you want to dig up stats, if anything hes regressed since last year based on the amount of goals scored. IMO, his overall play has come on a ton this year, especially in the air. He has had precious little service this year hence his stats being worse. Defensively the team stats prove we are an order of magnitude better than last year. Unfortunately, we offer zip up front. There's the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the problem. that is our bigest problem in my view, little or no service with the forwards having to pick the ball up from halfway line then end up crossing to midfield in box hence rowson and cairny goal tally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, Kinniburgh will be back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberteeb Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 So, how many folk still think Friday night football is the best thing ever? It should be. A couple of months back me and the guys I go with would have been all over this fixture, knocking off work easrly, few pints, off to Hamilton, into town after the game. But the incessantly turgid shit on display has led to none of us bothering. It doesn't matter what time or day of the week this game was played, I wouldn't have gone the way things are going now.

That's it in a nutshell. Had we beaten QoS on Sat, I'd have been like a rabid dog dying to get to the game. Instead I'm at home with a carry out.

potty trained Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Exactly Grant... Doing the same myself... Carry out and messing about listening to music trying to play along on the guitar. Occasionally popped through to check the score, but lost track for the whole second half and it went right out my mind. saw the full time score and thought... oh well...

potty trained Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Sad but so true why let it? how many players do you think will be feeling the same way... how many will be out on the town tonight for a jolly old Friday sesh?
