Got my doubts, but will certainly give him time and support. Hopefully he surprises us all.

Would like to see more of Edwards, but Dom looks like being our main man. Saw him at Dumbarton not long ago, always catches the eye. Early doors yet though, but 2nd half promising.

https://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=4590As mentioned elsewhere, really easy to register and order the stream. Simple and easy, good work.
Really appreciate the effort put in by clubs to keep fans in the loop. Can't wait to get back to the grounds though, seems as far away as ever though.

I think fans of just about every club should be worried about their future at the moment.
The trouble is as far as I can see full time championship clubs are probably the most risk exposed of the lot.
You're probably right with that when you think about it, and I'm sure the board realise the obvious dangers. Worrying times.

Every football fan in the country should be worried. Our game is heading for disaster. I would say we're in a better position than a few but will still struggle this winter.
Agreed, I can see this ending up with fans having to organise fund raising activities to save their clubs from going bust if this goes on for much longer. I hope it doesn't get to that stage though.

Ah yes that will be why there isn’t a single openly gay current professional mens footballer in the UK, only one in Europe and only three on the entire planet, despite it being estimated that 7% of the world’s adult male population is either gay, bisexual or otherwise do not identify as heterosexual.
But sure, football doesn’t have a problem.
Surely the fact that television, acting, hairdressing etc probably has far more than 7% of that quota, why have you a problem with professional football not attracting gay men? I really fail to see why it's important to know about someone's sexual preferences, or have a problem with them keeping it private if they want to. I don't hear people in the aforementioned traditional gay avenues bleating about heterosexuals being under represented.
You guys can of course focus on what you want, but I'm glad that my club just seem to focus on mainly football issues (even if they're not very good at it). Personally I would keep politics well away from football, but everyone to his own.

The resources that I mention means money. Okay, I'll have to assume by your answer that Thistle's women's football is financially self supporting (if that's what you've been told) and if that is the case, I would have no issue (if I was a Thistle fan).
As for rainbow issues, I was unaware that there is a problem with anyone's sexual preference with regards to football. Probably one more unnecessary box ticking exercise in my humble opinion. Aw well, as long as it keeps someone employed. Personally I would spend all the clubs energy and resource on first team footballing matters.

Will Thistle continue to plough valuable resources traditionally meant for the first team into rainbow related projects and women's football now that the financial landscape has changed somewhat? Maybe time to refocus on important things now before it's too late. Just saying.

When does Andy Ryan's loan run out? Wonder how he's getting on at Airdrie?

Point 1 - I'm not sure, if every team had to go for a full tactical revamp every time they beat someone, I think we'd see a lot more mental results in every league
Point 2 - Whilst this could be something, I would find it strange if true, because I know that DY and TM are pretty meticulous in their preparation for every game, both when it comes to our players preparation and assessing the opponents. I think this is something that annoys some of the guys more closely involved at the club when folks like myself have a moan, because they know the amount of work that goes in. Maybe teams are making unpredictable changes when they play us but I'm not so sure.
Point 3/4 - I've mentioned above about this mirroring last season in terms of the fall away, we did the same thing two years previously winning just one of our last 8 to drop out of the playoffs. Not so much the year in the middle, we were in the playoffs for the opening quarter before sitting mid-table virtually throughout. Anyway, every part-time team will have peaks and troughs, and the fixture rescheduling shouldn't affect us as much as it did last year. We're making the same sort of silly defensive errors for a lot of the goals and we're now running with a really small squad given now Bell's still out and Church and Boyd away, so there's not that much scope to change it personnel wise.
I think a lot of my worry here also stems from the fact that, whilst I have reservations defensively, I think we actually do have a pretty good squad here and the management team deserve huge credit for building it, but if we don't actually achieve anything after another season here I suspect that there might be clubs after one or two of our better players, I think only 4 of our squad are tied down.
From the outside looking in Big Fifer, I'm not sure it's the defense that you should have reservations about. Goals scored against EF is the exact same as the top club Raith, but the goals scored for EF is 9 less than Raith. That's why they're currently top of the league. Is it bad finishing or poor supply from the midfield maybe?

Just in case it wasn't realised by everyone already, this just shows how embarrassingly stupid and hypocritical the GB really are. An embarrassment to to whole of Scotland.
