The Toun Clock Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 A 6pm announcement involving a sexy new player and home kit would be a lovely start to the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 1 minute ago, The Toun Clock said: Would not be shocked if Mullen ended up with us or a similar team in the Champ, not sure what his record is like tbh, is he one of those guys who gets 5 or 6 a season but has had that one really amazing season where you wonder if he'll replicate it. IIRC when he was at Dundee he was often on the bench. I know nothing about the other guys that have been released apart from Tiffoney who has of course went to Dundee. Big list of the guys's that Thistle are still in talks with, I'd be shocked if any of them stayed given how dire their finances are. After watching the play off final on Sunday I really thought Thistle would be the ones to beat next term, even with Dundee Utd in the league but if the guys they're talking to don't re-sign I think it'll be mid table for them. Following on from this, just read the Twitter replies from Thistle fans to the news and they all seem fairly happy with the ones going, apart from Danny Mullen so I suppose that shows they think he's a good player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 6 goals in 35 is pish for a striker. Be as well keeping Todorov. Saying that if we have released Todorov, then you’d think we’d be looking at other strikers, and Mullen has played under McPake, so… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Danny Mullen looks a busy player but one of the worst finishers I ever seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that if we have released Todorov, then you’d think we’d be looking at other strikers, and Mullen has played under McPake, so… We'll 100% be looking at strikers with both Todorov and O'Hara departing. The problem last year for large spells was that we weren't clinical enough in front of goal, we won't get away with that in the Championship as I don't think our defence will be as secure just given the better opposition and we should be playing against better defences. If Wighton continues where he left off and McCann improves again like he should then that's a good start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 We were clinical enough to be fair. But I get your point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 The gaffer on his hols on the same boat trip as Hammy and Robert Snodgrass. I'd expect Snodgrass to be signed up next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
par-adise Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Sounds like Billy Mackay is leaving Caley as they've offered him buttons to stay on. Very proven goalscorer but perhaps a bit too similar to Wighton? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would much rather keep Tordorov than the other options suggested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I think we need some sort of physical threat up front. If there’s no better option for that available, I’d like to see us keep Todorov. For me, McCann is likely to play left of the front 3, so shouldn’t be counted in our ‘striker’ options, which now consist of just Wighton. McPake likes to have players that offer something different, certainly doesn’t seem to make like-for-like changes. So I’d be surprised if we brought in someone similar to Wighton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be one of those pedantic Instagram stalking weirdos but if your meaning from McPake’s Instagram story where he tags Snodgrass, the other tag Royle Eleven is for the clothing company that Snodgrass owns and a hat from their site is in the picture so I think that’s where the tag comes from, however happy to be proved wrong if you know he’s there too. However, Chris Hamilton is with him. I’d love Snodgrass at the Pars, it wouldn’t be another Dorrans situation IMO. I think he’s still far fitter and was always a better player anyway, was a regular feature for Hearts until Neilson got the boot! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I should have rephrased, we were clinical enough to get the job done, but we could have won the league by more points and goals by more games if more clinical. A lot of narrow wins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing that, Hibs or Hearts at home or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegie Par Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 The news that Partick Thistle are struggling financially got me thinking back to the dark days of 2013. What a horrible time to be a Pars fan. I seem to remember that Partick Thistle were one of the clubs (along with Raith Rovers & Cowdenbeath) that offered to help out with a “if you bring x amount of fans to Firhill, we will give you a percentage of the gate receipts” I can’t find the exact details anywhere but should their situation get terminal there is an opportunity this season for us to repay that favour. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, and from what I’ve read I don’t think it will, but it’s important to remember where we were at that time and try to repay where we can (and not at 0p in the pound) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Also worth remembering that the wee team backed out of it by lying about the crowd figure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegie Par Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I knew we ended up not actually getting any money from the Rovers. Couldn’t remember the circumstances - thought we didn’t actually take the required number. I’m not even sure if we got money from Thistle, and I seem to remember the club owed Cowdenbeath money so they just kept what they were owed? It’s all a bit hazy but the gesture was definitely appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticket sails prior to that announcement were frightfully low, everyone I knew was donating the ticket money to the club rather than go to Raith away. Raith then said they'd give money back from every sale above 2,000. At the time we weren't going to take more than 1,000. 25 minutes ago, Weegie Par said: I knew we ended up not actually getting any money from the Rovers.

It’s all a bit hazy but the gesture was definitely appreciated. Cowdenbeath IIRC set up a turnstile at one of there games where Pars fans could go through and the money would come of our debt to them. The Raith away attendance was announced as 1990 or something close, tbf from looking at pictures it looked about right? They got about another 1,000 away fans. In the aftermath I was surprised that more clubs don't try it, if you're only budgeting for 500 away fans for example, put an initiative out whereby every fan over a thousand has their gate receipt go back to the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
