Jaggernaut Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 The league table makes sorry reading. We have won fewer games than everybody else, even the tarts youth squad. We have drawn more games than anybody else. Our goal difference is joint 2nd worst in the league. Not pretty to look at. And yet, this team seems to be better than that…….

read'n'yell Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 The team is definitely better than that - I have no doubt at all we have better players than Kilmarnock St Mirren Ross County and Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Doesn't matter that we have better players than Kilmarnock, St Mirren, Ross County, Hearts, Celtic or Barcelona. The fact is that they all have BETTER RESULTS that we have, and that is what counts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzytheegg Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Major problem is, should we get relegated, half of our team will disappear, leaving us to compete with A strong Hearts and Rangers 2.0 (now with £1 Trillion war chest), add that to Falkirk and Dundee etc, we could easily drop another division, I'm genuinely wondering if we will win at all at Firhill this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume win stats are opposite? Not feelin overly negative to be fair, we were always destined to struggle. I was more looking at it from a board of directors point of view. He shouldn't be sacked. Not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metz Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 For those that are tired of my unnerving support of the team, management and club I make no apologies for it I am unashamedly a Jags fan and will look for the positives whilst endlessly putting in the cash to try and make them better. If you think that makes me a happy clapper then good luck to you, when you are shopping with the wife or Mr Mr I am with the team shouting them on and don't apologies or regret that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cup Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 The players are better than that. They are getting held back by an inexperienced manager who is making the wrong decisions at crucial times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day I know what I'll be doing supporting partick thistle. It will be gutting and disappointing yes without a doubt but it won't be the end of the world.

Jaggernaut Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 you could say the same about killie st mirren and Ross county players they are being held back by far more experienced managers with far bigger budgets Good point. Archie must be as gutted as all of us at the way some of the games have panned out, especially yesterday's. He'll know that he's at least partly to blame (though the two headers that led to the defeat yesterday were pure and simply down to bad defending). If he doesn't realise that, then questions need to be asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzytheegg Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 and if we do get relegated this season? At the end of the day I know what I'll be doing supporting partick thistle. It will be gutting and disappointing yes without a doubt but it won't be the end of the world. I'll obviously still be attending whatever league we're in, but it could spell the end of full time football. A play off place would be no guarantee next year for whoever gets relegated, but Hearts, Rangers 2.0, Falkirk and Dundee will be in stronger positions in terms of financing. Should we survive this year we could aspire to establish ourselves in the top flight and perhaps make inroads towards Europe, or a cup run. With the way Scottish football is right now, it's probably the worst year for us to get relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
