If you guys are happy to give a wee wave to your heroes up on their bus for winning the Championship, you batter in. Don't let the Dundee fan that thinks it's a bit of a minter spoil your fun. K. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 2 hours ago, GAD said: Has Paul McGinn done well for Thistle this season? It doesn't look like he's played much for a team battling relegation, but I don't know if there is a reason for that, other than he's been shite? He's played a fair amount. 20-odd games. Solid but unspectacular player in a poor team. He was only signed because we had a major fullback crisis earlier in the season, but now that Christie Elliott is back he doesn't get a look in, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's away. No idea how good Liam Smith has been, or how realistic it is that he'd be playing for you next season, but if he's not, McGinn would be a decent signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Don’t see what’s wrong with parading the Championship trophy. I’d draw the line at the Bells Ramsdens Petrofac B&Q Irn Bru Northern Irish & Welsh Diddies & C*nt Colts Cup.... but the Championship, Scottish and League Cups? Absolutely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 If Liam Smith isn't returning, McGinn is a very decent signing with a good level of experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think going into administration is a cause for celebration to be honest, so that's a bit silly. No open buses in Dundee then.

Coventry Saint Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) This forum's boring when people aren't ripping us for being shite, or when our superiority has become old news. Even Morton are back where they belong, terminal mediocrity, and are fighting amongst themselves again. I'm so bored I'm tempted to dig up some of the belting posts from the 4-1 defeat at Cappielow thread.

Yep. Except the Arabs' season was the equivalent of being picked to tour as one of Kylie's dancers and getting shagged by the Ryder Cup team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Manchester City, Celtic, Wolves and Ayr United — not an obvious list of connected outfits but what they all have in common is at the moment they’re the teams in British football dominating their divisions. "dominating" none the less. This was as they took the lead of the league for the first time, and only on a very temporary basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddist Monk Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) So I got to thinking, the gap that United had at the top (for the limited time they had it) was wafer thin, was there any time Duthie could spin as "dominating"? The article was published on 13th December, these are the tables for that time period (4 games before to 4 games after).. Before: . . After: . . I think it's fair to conclude that Duthie is at best a desperate fan boy, and at worst a dreadful and inaccurate journalist.

He's the lowest form of journalist...the type a rat would was his mouth out after biting. Between his p*ss-poor use of hyperbole, lack of journalistic integrity or sourcing, and his childish comprehension of grammar, surely he should have given up on writing football articles and just skipped straight into the manufacture of chip wrappers. He's an irrelevant, illiterate fud with such a low grasp of the game that his title of 'Lead football writer' at the Telegraph is almost insulting. We should be running a sweepstake as to who'll get sacked first, Duthie or Laszlo! Edited April 26, 2018 by JimmyMirren 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still it's a little unfair to look back at journalists work in hindsight. If only they had the perceptive and prophetic powers that those who use Internet forums have developed.
