The Partick Thistle thread


Recommended Posts

Just going to hand in my notice at my work tomorrow to start my new career as a porn star. Scott Fox has inspired me to chase your dreams, no matter how unrealistic they are.

Pornstar career is over rated. I'm going into business with Billy Dodds to invent the interstellar warp drive engine.

Tuffey at least had a reasonable chance at an international career. Fox is clearly just a delusional fanny. I know he got a call up, but in what way does spending half your time since that being the second choice keeper at a bottom six club suggest that you're in line for more? Utter moron, he may well get a bigger club but he won't be getting into the Scotland squad any time soon.

Hope Scully turns out good and gets in before him.

I would say that the defence has been the main reason why fox has been credited with many of the clean sheets and when asked upon eg killie game where he has been shown up. Especially with crosses that are in his six yard area. Looks like Archie wasn't too fussed with him staying or going if he was only offered the same deal he is already on and why Dunfermline have been told that scully will be back at the club.

In my latest "you need a better hobby" idea, here's a list of the squad at the end of each transfer window to show senior squad size and progress or otherwise. Red indicates players who were on the books but on loan for more or less the whole period indicated, and I've only included players once they were too old for the development squad, with the exception of Fraser in 13/14. I've also assumed Scully will be #1 for now.

Will update as pre-season goes on and when the new squad numbers come out (I'd like to see Booth and Seaborne swap numbers to aid my squad number OCD).

Whoever gets the #17 shirt might want to have some kind of voodoo ceremony first to get rid of the curse...

Still no idea why, but I still expect Gary Miller to end up at you lot, with news of his release today, I expect the deal to be in motion shortly.

Either that or this completely random feeling is well off the mark, and he'll sign for Ross County.

Ross Forbes was a great football player, just without the physical attributes required to really make it at this level. People called him lazy, but I don't think it was laziness; rather him just being too slow to track a man or chase after the ball. Fantastic left foot, though.

Archie has suggested a couple of times already that next season's squad will have a 'quality over quantity' theme to it. Less players, better players.

So while the depth would be nice, if we're struggling for the cash to pay wages, I'd rather they weren't giving some of it to Gary Miller.

I loved Forbes, it's pretty much his lack of pace that meant he even ended up at us in the first place. It just simply wasn't going to work for him with a manager like Archie who expects players to run their arse off as he simply didn't have the pace to keep up with any Premier League midfield.

That's him won all 3 lower league divisions now he's won league 1 with Morton, it looks like he's going to end up one of these players who turns up at lower league clubs all his career and does well but can't make the step up. A more likeable John Baird type.

He's also still on the front of our season tickets so I get to see the back of his head every 2nd week. :wub:

Would be surprised to see him go to County when they already have Fraser. We'll take him.

A lot of those assists must have came since January. I'm pretty sure he was on two at the turn of the year, and hadn't assisted/scored since September or something like that. Seems Lawless didn't get many assists in the final half of the season either. Sure he was floating around the six mark in January.
