    If we can somehow get a point and convince Crawford to sign Cardle in january that would be excellent.

    I would throw in Danny De Vita, One-Goal-A-Season-Mansell, Joker Jones, and Sumo Harkins as an incentive.

    Oh and Long John Austin with his wooden leg, too. Possibly with pop Robson as the parrot on his shoulder.

    Logged into P&B this morning and saw I had about 8 pages of unread content in the Ayr v Thistle thread, 

    Thought I was in for a delightful hour of chat about Ian McCall's fizzing coupon and the absolutely orgasmic display of Kerrball.

    Instead, I get this absolute pish. F*** off.

    I feel your pain mate.

    Frankly I thought that this was the sort of thing that only Jags fan would do!

    From what I have seen of this Thistle team, which is not a lot, I doubt McCall will be able to do much with them. 

    I think he will improve the set up and organisation of the team and make them a little harder to beat. However  I suspect McCall knows the best he can hope for  is to pick up enough points to avoid becoming detached at the bottom. 

    I don't see any real improvement until the manager can bring in his 'own', players in the January window and off load some of the current squad. 

    With the exception of Penrice,  Miller and possibly Bannigan (Mansell & Kakay could be worth developing) the rest can go! 

    Sadly, I think thing is true, though I don't think even Bunter can improve the lump of wood that is Mansell. I'd keep Cole possibly.

    Think he is just doing the same management speak that Caldwell did. You need to praise the crap you have so they don't down tools and can occassionally grind out results to keep within touching distance. Then come transfer window P45 time

    I hope you're right.

    It frightens the shengus out of me that he really believes there is the making of a good squad in there.

  5. Liked the two previous posts, not  lot to argue about - quite the contrary.

    High spots: 'Bambi on Ice.; agree Palmer - must be wondering what he's done to upset Bunter if he cant get a game; De VIta summed up perfectly in first post, a 'never-has-been'; 'occasionally threatens to look decent before reverting '; Austin serving Fosters in Walkabout.

    What a shower of duds (mainly). I trust Bunter has the P45s written out already, just waiting to hand them out.

    Just watched the goals, not that it made a difference but our penalty was a) harsh in terms of there being no intent but i guess the hand was away from the body, ref might have thought he was in the CL with the glamorous surrounds of Firhill, and b) outside the area?

    Yes, I was in the JLS and thought we were lucky to get the penalty. I felt most refs wouldn't have given it. It looked like the only way we would have scored hence, really, 3-1 flattered us.

    Going to Firhill is a soul destroying experience. The smell of festering horse shite as soon as you proceed through the John Lambie Stand turnstiles sets the tone for the day.

    Said stand is packed full of grumpy, seething old men. They offer no encouragement or support to the team whatsoever, irrespective of the circumstances. The first mis-placed pass is met with howls of discontent. A hilarious, ridiculously misplaced sense of Old Firm-esq entitlement exists. 

    For a lot of these old duffers, it’s just an excuse to vent for 90 minutes. 90 minutes of tedious, unintelligible, foaming at the mouth nonsense. The same people shouting the same shite every fucking week.

    I’m absolutely fucking sick of it. 

     

    Here’s one grumpy seething old man’s view:

    We sucked the atmosphere right out of the crowd with poor play.’

    And:

    ‘Sloppy ... playing balls that weren’t on ... just took the atmosphere out of Firhill.’

    And again:

    'Our fans are here and want to see it here and we haven’t given them it.

    Horrible old c--t; his name is Ian McCall.

     

    I reckon there should be a sign up saying: ‘Warning! Punters must not expect to be entertained.’

    I knew it all along, there nohiing wrong with the players … it's the fans that are causing our poor performances.

  9. 3-1 flattered us.

    We started with eight men, count Gordon, Danny De Vito, and Robson missing in action. All of whom (plus a good few others) I hope will be missing come January. Bunter said 'everyone will get a chance'; I hope the aforementioned have had their last one. 

    Not taking away anything from Arbroath's text book lesson in how to take 3 easy points at Firhill without really breaking sweat. No changes there, sadly, from the previous incumbent.

  10. On an entirely different tack, we seem to still be struggling for strikers at present. Perhaps we could do worse than sign Goodwillie from our former tenants in January. Scored a decent amount with a team with mediocre result and sitting midtable.

    Think how much that would annoy the Bully Wee Clyde! They were spitting feathers a few weeks ago when they thought we were bookies' favourite to steal Lennon!!

    I’m ITK and apparently Caldwell is doing some sort of coaching/scouting role for Villa Under 21’s.

     

    To be fair, there hasn't been much criticism of him as a coach (quite the opposite); as a scout, the jury is out. He's brought in some appalling duds and crocks, but picked the odd decent  one too.

    When it come to interpersonal skills, still a pound shop David Brent.

  12. I was sure there was some 'official' reason for it, because I am equally sure that we once hosted a midweek evening cup game,as a neutral venue. Might have ben the Lok.

    The explanation I was given was that you could use floodlights in Cups but not in league games. There was a kind of grain of truth in that.

    As Coyote says it's not normally a problem for us though there was one very wet season not that long ago where we had a bit of a backlog.
