Jag71 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 3 hours ago, Bishop Briggs said: I haven't seen much of Hamilton but there must be better options available. It's always a risk to bring in players that the management team don't know well. Archie and Caldwell signed several duds from down south. McCall knows Doohan and Wright who would do a good job for us. Seemingly McCall has an 'experienced' keeper lined up. If Wright is available I would prefer we went for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would prefer someone else's youth to play on loan instead of having our own experienced keeper and our own younger keeper in Sneddon battling for the jersey? You are odd! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) Wonder if the home kit will be a 1971 style or whether they'll do a one off* kit similar to the 1921 kit from earlier this year ? *well two off but you know what I mean.

You are odd! I pointed out earlier that Transfermkt says that Wright is out of contract at Rangers. It is possible that we could sign him on a permanent deal if Rangers release him or will accept a similar deal to Rudden's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hated them being there. Feeling was mutual. However, a belated thanks for all the points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfermkt, like Wikipedia, is often unreliable but there's often no alternative. Sevco's website lists Wright in the first team squad so It would have been crazy to let his contract run out. If Sneddon was getting a new deal, it should have been announced by now. I hope that he finds a new club quickly. Btw, Joe Cardle has signed for Kelty Hearts - https://spfl.co.uk/news/summer-signings-47729. Dean Watson has signed for East Stirling.

Ad Lib Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 The badge on the new away kit is a bit meh. I feel the kit is a bit too sheet white. Probably won’t buy it tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only go for Wright if it was a permanent deal (would have to be similar to Rudden's likely). If not then Sneddon & an experienced keeper (whoever that may be) could be the way to go. Should add however that Cammy Bell & Scott Fox were experienced keepers and neither of them were anything special during their most recent times with us. As for the calls that it may be Jack Hamilton (who's just been released by Dundee) - then definitely not. He's been a hopeless goalie for years and actually should've been booted out of Dundee a long time ago. He had a tremendous game against us for Hearts back in his youth I'm sure but bar that he's been awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem might be as someone else highlighted - there is a distinct lack of experienced keepers going around that are good enough. Very few free agents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think quality more important than experience but can understand why the latter is sought after. If Wright were available to sign full time (which I see has been pointed out he is not - as still under contract), I still think he would be the best option. As far as I am aware, Sneddon hasn't agreed to sign yet either. It could be the case he is waiting to see who McCall brings in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thistle Archive Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Following on from the publication of our Thistle managers section in May, the Thistle Archive is now very pleased to present the companion section - the Opposition Managers, with almost 700 new pages having been created. We examine every opposition manager/caretaker that Thistle have faced from 1903-04 onwards, with results summaries, every game managed and an overall comparison table. For added interest, a matrix of Thistle managers at the time is included within each of the match lists. Attentive users will note that every match hub (accessed via the result as usual) is hyperlinked. This is a statement of intent; we are now committed in the very near future to uploading at least a stub page for every single match in the club's history. At the time of writing, the links for matches between 1924-25 to 2012-13 remain unpopulated, so bear with us and we'll get to them during this close season.
