SussexJag Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 1. We either finish 5th or last (unless Hearts get docked) 2. We horse united on opening day in front of 8,000 with paton getting sent off for a wild lunge on muirhead, and erskine subbed - the latter is dignified and claps the jags support despite being booed by some; mcnamara is sent to the stand for protesting about paton's red. 3. By October Muirhead and Bannigan are either being tipped for caps or are out injured for ghe season. 4. By November Archie is touted as the next great manager from the wild west, and is the subject of patronising articles by Graham Spiers about a tough but fair upbringing, and spurious links to the Moyes or Lambert families. 5. In December there is a tabloid sensation about a 'night club incident' involving several of the squad. Archie talks darkly of 'responsibilities'. 6. By January Macnamara is sacked by united and takes them to court over unpaid bonuses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peagreenboy Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 We'll keep it really tight against Celtic, and they'll still win 1-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Devil's Point Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 1) We'll survive (Hearts will be docked 15 points). 2) We won't find another Chris Erskine. 3) This will be the season when we finally land a major trophy. The experience and disappointment of the Challenge Cup will be put to good use as we finally get a run of decent Scottish Cup draws........

The experience and disappointment of the Challenge Cup will be put to good use as we finally get a run of decent Scottish Cup draws........ This is what I'm most excited about by being in the SPL - the chance that we could emulate Kilmarnock or St Mirren and actually win a major trophy again.

We will be favourites to finish bottom, but i fancy us to do quite well. I would have loved to have kept Erskine, Paton & Craig and really hope we don't lose Lawless, but i think we have a confident young squad and we will add to it. I can see us finishing around 9th and players like Balatoni, Bannigan, Sinclair and Muirhead will shine & go on to bigger & better in the future. I just hooe we can hold on to Archie & Shaggy for the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, there's the points gap and the transfer embargo and the playing staff losses, etc., but still ... Fair point, although I doubt we will be taking it easy. For a newly promoted team like ours, I'd imagine most games will seem massive for a while. I think if we start well we should be able to get relatively safe quite quickly. I'd rather see us have a good go at the cups rather than worrying about top six or whatever. I think we may have a side who can beat anyone on their day as it were. Can't see complacency being a factor for our side, although others (Killie perhaps) might get drawn into that mindset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCjag Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 But only if the Emperor of Japan is in making a state visit to London as the then Sons of Heaven (not the Tokyo branch of the Dumbarton Supporters Club) did in 1921 and 1971.

But he visited last year, so that must be broke. Unless the Challange Cup could be counted. Which of course it doesn't 'cause we didn't win it anyway.

Garscube Road End Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 We will have a magnificent season. But being Thistle we will be runners up in ALL 3 competitions. Last minute dodgy penalties in the 123rd minute of each cup final and a 99th minute dodgy penalty by Celtic against relegated Hearts to win the title by 1 goal, even though Thistle done the busines that day by beating Dundee United 15-0 at Tannadice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kni Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) 1. Charles Green sells his Rangers shares to buy Hearts' and Tynecastle with the proceeds. 2. Ally McCoist is sacked by Rangers on Christmas Eve with Ibrox club in the relegation zone. 3. Jackie McNamara is sacked by the Arabs on 2nd January and replaced by Craig Levein. 4. Chris Erskine submits a transfer request in late January as Levein omits him from his 6 man midfield. 5. Airdrieonians go into administration in April and are taken over by Clydebank in May.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 3. Jackie McNamara is sacked by the Arabs on 2nd January and replaced by Craig Levein. Aside from an actual date that's not the least bit unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
