You strike me as living in a fantasy where Alan Archibald, Kris Doolan and Chris Erskine (who, like Archibald before him, was perfectly keen to sign for Dundee United when it suited his playing career, although you've said he has a "rightful place" at Firhill) are your best mates, knock out pleasant-enough 2-1 home wins against Hamilton and Ross County (but nothing more) and then go for pints with you afterwards.

Despite lots of evidence that it was no longer working. The last 18 months of Archibald's reign was absolutely dismal.

The only key argument for sacking Caldwell will be if results continue to be as bad in the league. Him allegedly being arrogant or unpleasant will be completely irrelevant as I'm assuming none of us are associating with him personally or working with him. People seem to be focusing mainly on his alleged personality, mainly those who see us as 'cuddly toy'.

We have only played 5 games and I'm prepared for him to get at least the same again to see what happens.

Would genuinely love to hear the reasoning behind giving him another 5 games.

[Arbroath vs Thistle]

Arbroath absolutely robbed tonight and could have kept Caldwell in a job as some of our bellend supporters will consider a point away a good result. Personally, I think GC should be sacked tonight and thrown in the sea.

[Scotland v Belgium (Match Thread)]

Shite at the back and nothing going forward. Sideways and backwards passing with no edge and no movement. Half of these players shouldn’t be in a Scotland jersey. It’s a shite state of affairs and no mistake.

[Scotland v Belgium (Match Thread)]

Even the booing at half time is half arsed.

[Scotland v Russia (Match Thread)]

Another predictable performance and defeat. Doesn’t matter who the manager is - the players just aren’t good enough. 

[The Partick Thistle thread]

So that’s GC played his final hand. We’re going with one experienced striker who knows where the goal is. If Miller gets a long term injury/when his hip goes, we’re well and truly gubbed. 

A squad of journeymen, inexperienced lower league players and duds.

We’ve been here before. 

The sooner GC is gone the better.

[The Partick Thistle thread]

Andrew Dallas has not taken us to the bottom of the table - Gary Caldwell has.

[The Partick Thistle thread]

Oh such excitement. 

[The Partick Thistle thread]

Based on the squad he’s built, I wouldn’t be letting him squander what scarce resources there are either. Why allow him to bring in another striker who can’t score goals? Another ex old firm chum looking for a final pay day? Yet another midfielder who can’t create anything? A defender who can’t defend?

The sad thing is that a lot of us saw this coming from day one. Too many fans are in denial and seem to think we owe him something because he got us to the dizzy heights of 6th place on the last day of last season.

Utter nonsense.

not arguing with your assessment of the team's chances but Caldwell's  playing without a budget to improve his squad.      You honestly think that given the choice that would have been his front line tonight?

He had a budget and he’s wasted it. He’s assembled a squad akin to Archibald’s. 

[Partick Vs Dundee United 09/08/19]

Get him to f**k right now.

[The Partick Thistle thread]

It’s patently obvious from the first 2 games (plus the league cup performances) that we will be nearer the bottom of the league than the top this season. All courtesy of Mr Caldwell.

How long do we give Caldwell if we have a bad start?

Unfortunately we’re stuck with him till this takeover issue is resolved one way or the other. If it goes through I can’t see him surviving. If it doesn’t go through hopefully Beattie will see what the rest of us see. 

His time’s up. A blind man and his dog can see he’s hopeless.

[Alloa Athletic vs Partick Thistle]

A comfortable 1-0 win for the Jags, scoring after 7 minutes and defending for the rest of the game. 

[The Partick Thistle thread]

Excellent. Another midfielder who can’t score goals.

Well, I believe that the Ineos looney has acquired Nice, leaving a Barnsley/Thistle portfolio. Would they (NewCity) have a larger fish in mind? Who knows?

Alarm bells or not, there seems to be zip that can be done about the prospective owner's plans for Thistle, but I suggest they won't set out to maintain a club that yo-yos between the top six of the top flight and the arse end of the second tier if they want a shop window for talent.

I agree. The yo-yo-ing must stop and I see the takeover as the perfect remedy for that. Investment in the club = better players=success.

And if someone makes some money at the same time so be it.

[The Partick Thistle thread]

Good. Bye Gary.

[The Partick Thistle thread]

Maybe GC can find us a proper RB, something we’ve not had since the days of Stephen O’Donnell.

[The Falkirk FC Thread]

Abdul Osman’s a right fucking jinx eh?

[The Partick Thistle thread]

It’s no surprise - he’s a serial loser. Those who appointed him are presumably preparing his P45 since he hasn’t met the stated objective?

Good. One of the worst footballers to play for Thistle.  Fair play to Caldwell for recognising dog shit when he sees it.

[The Partick Thistle thread]

Not wishing to piss on anyone’s parade, but for me the jury is still out on Caldwell.

2 league wins from 13 attempts isn’t good enough. But here’s hoping we build on today and get a good run of victories doing.

[The Partick Thistle thread]

Can’t believe my earlier remark got marked down - do people not know sarcasm when they see it?

[The Partick Thistle thread]

Excellent news. Perfect replacement for Erskine.

In Gary we trust.

[The Partick Thistle thread]

If he changes his surname to Storey, he’ll get a game every week. No question.
