Gress Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Chris is delighted to be back, that little shit macnamara has a lot to answer for. Give Chris all the support you can, hopefully he will help Thistle get the results their play deserves and they will start climbing the table 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Back to where he's loved. I hope it works out. On balance the fact he's a Jags hero should make all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Brilliant news. Well done Archie in getting this done, and some credit to McNamara I did not think he would have loaned him back. Welcome back Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted January 20, 2014 Members Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 So, it was and he did! Welcome back Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFCFAN Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Good to see him going to a club where he's obviously loved, he seems like a decent guy. I'll be honest though, you should tamper your expectations for his return, because he hasn't looked even remotely good enough to play at this level during his time at Tannadice, He's looked far too slow, both physically and mentally, whenever he's played for us. I'll be honest and say he's quite possibly the worst player I've ever seen pull on the Tangerine shirt, and we've had our share of diddies over the years. As I say, really hope this move works well for him, but I'd be pretty surprised if it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northjag Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Delighted the big man has come back. I predicted this would happen back in the summer. But recently I didn't think it would happen cause he has been in the starting 11 for united. He will be match fit which is great. I think we have missed him a lot because we don't play down the middle as much as we did last season. This will be a boost for everyone.

Members Willjag Posted January 20, 2014 Members Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Straight in for tomorrow night, give Jimmy a well earned break? I think it's more likely he'll be a straight replacement for Bannigan tomorrow. More likely Craigen will get a rest on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted January 20, 2014 Members Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 p.s. Fair play to McNamarra. He could have held a grudge and not allowed him to return to Thistle and loaned him elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Just hope he can recapture the magic quickly. The sight of him running full tilt at a retreating defence would be a joy to behold. What little snippets of highlights I have seen of his occasional appearances this season make him look listless and disengaged. Hopefully a familiar and supportive Firhill will rekindle the creative fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bunny Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I think it's more likely he'll be a straight replacement for Bannigan tomorrow. More likely Craigen will get a rest on Saturday. Can't see that unless you mean the position Bannigan played earlier in the season which was part of the 'front' midfield trio. Recently Bannigan has played as part of the deeper, defensive midfield, albeit the one who takes the ball from defence and tries to start attacks. With Lawless playing OK recently and Higginbotham worth his place I see him playing just behind Taylor with Lawless out wide again. Fraser and Craigan to play behind them unless Muirhead in for Craigan. McMillan left back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Welcome back Chris! I'll be interested to see where he slots into the team. I'm a big fan of the work that Craigen does for the team, so I'm not sure we can have room for 2 creative players like Erskine and Lawless in the starting 11. Maybe though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cup Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Archibald got the best out of Erskine so hopefully he can do so again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gress Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 In response to DUFCfan, your talking out your arse. Chris was not givin the chance to show his talents, two games running he played, two flipping games. If it wasn't for your shitty arrogant support he would have been a star performer for yous. Since the first Inverness Caley game you got on his back. I've been a few times to watch him and the abuse I heard while there is unreal. Typical example at the weekend, he played not bad, put a few good balls through for GMS but the wee shite runs offside. Did he get the abuse for that, or any other time he lost the ball ? NO DID HE HELL. Same with Armstrong when he came on, lost the ball a few times but still got no abuse. Macnamara has split his squad, another two players away on holiday today. DID YOu KNOW THAT ? Get your heads out your arse and realise that your team isn't that good. I know when Chris loan spell ends, I won't be back to that shithole of a stadium you have. I'm glad and proud he's back where he's loved. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
