On another note Kevin Nisbet has just completed his signing for Hibs. A player by all means was not good enough for thistle under the watchful eyes of Gerry and Archie. Let this set in. He now plays for a club in the premier league - while partick thistle sit in league 1... The phrase “I’ll see you on the way down” is ringing in my head. We are an absolute *****Show

Why is McCall untouchable. If this was any other manger every jags fan would be hounding them out the door. Can you imagine Caldwell had this record. Zero wins in 2020 maximum of 3 points. Embarrassed and beat of every part time team & absolutely pumped of Raith. The team that replaces us. If by a miracle we did manage to sneak the play offs. Could you imagine us playing Falkirk. It would have been a total disaster. So I am still sticking with what I believe. McCall is a hopeless manager. Look at the context rather than content as with two assistants. At this rate we will have more backroom staff than players. ship the lot out. Including Gerry. He is hopeless. If this legal embargo falls south, serious questions need to be asked about his ability to govern a football club and give solid advise from a legal perspective. I mean he is a lawyer. As far as saying McCall is great at bringing in youth players. He didn’t bring any academy plays through this season in-fact there were times when we couldn’t field a full bench. But reluctant to have any on the bench (worst case scenario we may have needed one in case of injuries). On that note. Are the youth players good enough. Are they costing money on contracts? Or is McCall just dreadful at providing longevity. I mean think about Sena. Played a few games for GC as did a few other young players. Doesn’t get a chance at thistle goes to league 1 and rips it up. The lad could have done a better job than the Duds he signed. like any other thistle fan. I’ll wait and see what the future holds. But my question is. If thistle are sitting rock bottom or no wins the first few games of the season do we ship McCall out. That’s been the ascendancy over the last few seasons.

Another statement.. snooze! Let’s be honest here. We can all moan & point the finger at the SPFL & other clubs. We are our own worst enemy. We only won 6 games, horrific Stats. Really, the real reason we are in this mess is purely down to miss management & incompetence from the board down. Few seasons ago we where high flying top 6 club now we are in league 1, fighting to stay afloat & using every tactic to grip onto survival. If this tactic doesn’t work it will be embarrassing. 1 not being able to do it on the pitch, & 2 not being able to do it on a legal front . It’s just got disaster written all over it. So to sum up for the fans that have yellow and red tinted glasses ill give you a run down. Traditionally clubs that chop & change managers & have unstable boards tend not to do well on football. However, Thistle take this to another level. Within the space of 11 months we have had 3 mangers, BOD has changed (Iv lost count how many time). Then during this time & weeks before a season is about to launch the BOD decides to chop a managers budget, expecting miracles. That hardly shouts ambition. We then bring a hopeless yo-yo manger with more downs than ups. Gets rid of the video, stats and sports guys because he doesn’t believe in it. If that doesn’t shout incompetence then I don’t know what does. All the top leagues & teams have these specialists in place. But no not thistle, we are unique. Uniquely s**** . My question. who the bloody heel allowed this to happen & who authorised it? Next: The same manger rips apart a squad who a few months before when manger of Ayr said thistle should be in a higher position & that current squad was good enough. Then rebuilds the squad In the January window picks up a total of 4 points with a win ratio of F*** all & gets absolutely pumped in the Cup Semi-Final from a league 1 team. Who coincidentally replaces us in the championship. Side note: McCall had a better Win record with the duds Caldwell signed. Next..... We have a Chief executive who is so far off the pace he can’t even see the finishing line, in fact the finish line doesn’t even exist. Gerry is clearly clueless for any job in football management. His record speaks for its self. Under his tender we have had 1 narrow escape form relegation & now 1 relegation. Sanctioned the signings of 3 squads of dudes. Brought back a sacked manager as an assistant less than 11 months following the sacking. What is his thought process behind this. Clearly Gerry makes these decisions to protect his incompetence & please fans. Throwing S**** at the walls and hopping it sticks sounds like the plan. Our goalkeeping coach.... under him, this season, the keepers couldn’t catch the cold. Fox came to us after winning the league and challenge league cup. Over night he turned into the worst keeper in the league. That just doesn’t happen. That’s just bad coaching. More interested in twitter. Tragic. All the players are just as guilty and a disgrace to thistle. Tam Oware for example. Came to use acting like Virgil van Dijk. But played more like Dick Van Dyke, no wait more like Dick Turpin, stealing a wage. Funny enough that’s been the story over the last few season. Decent players coming to us then turn up like dog S****. Something must be wrong with the training & coaching. Or is it just the thistle effect. Next has anyone noticed that our physio is absolutely horrendous. I’d go as far as to say we had the worst injury record in the league. Probably cost us on the long run. Before anyone mentions, that’s not a Physio’s job. Staff profile clearly states to implement injury prevention and recovery. Looking back the only thing she prevented was points. Looking back on last year unlike others we didn’t have any injury crisis at the start of the season. Once GC was booted (thank F***) we had an injury crisis. What happened? Did GC voodoo us. I recall at one point we couldn’t even fill the bench over October/November. It was a new player injured each week. Patch up work here and there. Scal was never off jag zone with updates. But I guess that’s what happens when you also get a guy from the academy who’s used to dealing with kids as the first team fitness coach. On that note, was it just me or did our players looked lethargic and unfit. The games v Arbroath sticks in my mind. They ran over the top of us on a number of occasions. Being as s**** as we where, you would expect at the very least, players to run around and keep up with part timers. That again didn’t happen. I feel for Archie his name is in tatters, some great seasons with thistle, but 2 religions on his CV. Overall, when you employ clowns the circus comes to town and the circus unfortunately has been parked at Firhill road for a long long time. We are a laughing stalk, if we are not careful Queens Park could be the next club in Glasgow. Majority of you will disagree, think I’m being negative, and will be unhappy with the comments. But looking at it in a systematic way & taking the emotion out of it. Thistle are on the downward spiral we have been for a while. Until we get the idiots away from the club I can only see it getting worse. I for one are just just sick of this utter P*** & incompetence, it goes from top to bottom. Our saving grace is the youth system.
