I don't want to see you at Firhill next year. why? he has been one of our better players this season, apart from raithe he has been one of our most consitant players. just watched and both should have been sent off as both seem to throw a punch Edited February 26, 2012 by jaggybunnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry gaz Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 How the ref didn't send both off is beyond me.The Raith player clearly goes for Paton first and PP stupidly retaliated.Piss poor from Paul and the ref. .........and as for the defending .......feck me.

Your bark has always been loud but your bite isn't vicious. I don't want to see you at Firhill next year. Just a little bit OTT. The Raith player 100% should have went. Terrible officiating as usual. Paton was stupid to retaliate but he wasn't the instigator which in my opinion is worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked half way between a punch and a headbutt from Paton somehow. Raith player went in stronger though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-R Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 did no.10 even get booked? should have been 2 red cards He was only booked. Linesman made a mess of quite a few decisions. As said both should have been sent off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryHell Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I've not got blinkers on, but i honestly can't see from the video what Paton is actually supposed to have done. I can only imagine that he took a cheeky wee kick at the Raith player while they were both on the deck - Paton seemed to be looking round for a retaliation when they both got up and I can only see that his head being bowed etc. was to defend himself when the Raith player did retaliate. Still, he didn't complain much when it was red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernsoul Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 no he wasnt in my view, he got up and the raith guy started to swing for him So why does he thrust his head towards the face of the other player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmclaughlin Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 What about Erskine's miss? 2-0 and the game was over. Even the Raith no.9, thinks he was going to score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 shocking miss. Hate to say it but Erskine is pish Hmm, I've been a defender of Erskine over the last couple of seasons, but he, like several others, is definitely stagnating in the current Firhill set-up. I'd definitely like to see Fox, Sinclair, Cairney, and Doolan still with us next season. Also Willie-K and even Archie, because in spite of what some folk say he's still a good defender. Everybody else can go, and yes, that means one or two favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Based on those highlights: Erskine's 2nd-half "shot" was an embarrassing attempt for a professional footballer. Where the hell was O'Donnell for their first goal? If PP deserved to be sent off for that, then so did the Raith player. Shocking indecision (and another lack of a tackle going in) for their 2nd goal. Poor stuff all round. We had two shots at goal in the entire game. Liverpool yesterday had 39.

Alan Murray Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Unbelievable the raith player is not sent of as well. The Erskine miss is shocking, he used to be good in a one to one situation with the keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 So on top of everything else, there is now a serious discipline problem within the squad. First Archie and now Paton pick up absolutely unnecessary and totally avoidable red cards. This only enforces my opinion that the management really has no authority with the players. They swagger into training when they like, and leave after little more than an hour a day. They put the effort in on the park when they feel like it, most of the time they don't bother. They lash out at opposition players to look like the hardman, how very macho. And all the time, Jackie and Sid are in the dugout, motionless, arms folded, too scared to make any substitutions in case the players fall out with them.

PaleGreySky Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 The lack of discipline is also evident in the silly wee spat Christies Elliot is currently having with Kal Naismith publically on twitter. The fact that the team seems to eat most meals in Nandos doesn't instil confidence in them as professional athletes either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Earl of Hathaway Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thought on saturday that Paton had done everything he could possibly do to get sent off, but watching those 'highlights' I'm not so sure. It looks to me as if the Raith player has a right good go at him and Paton attempts to protect himself. Definitely 2 red cards if anything, but we've got a bit of previous at Stark's with dodgy red cards and frustrated players - anyone remember Liam a couple of seasons ago?

Not meaning to selectively quote, as you've made some good points, but do we know this is true? I read a comment somewhere recently that thistle players were seen walking to training at 11.10 and leaving at 12.30, but how do we know they weren't on their break at 11.00 and hadn't actually started at 9am? Still not full time in my eyes, but how do you know this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been 2 stupid red cards in the last month but overall we are one of the best disciplined teams in the division. Only Hamilton have fewer red cards (just the one) and we actually have the fewest yellow cards (29). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FT, your post shows why the prevailing attitude on the forum is usually negative: You've let the facts get in the way of a good rant!

They don't do any ball work in the ground, and don't go back down to the complex in the afternoon. They basically spend just over an hour a day on ball work.

PaleGreySky Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 It shows...A LOT. Shooting and marking practice are things that require a ball and, if they spend so little time with one no wonder they're shite at those things.
