Should really be in with a shout of going for top scorer this season. There are of course other good strikers in the league, I just personally feel Graham is the best. To be fair, Goodwillie at his peak would undoubtedly be the best striker in the league, by an absolute fucking mile. I have no idea what he’s like now, but I imagine he’s still pretty good. He’d be nowhere near this division if it wasn’t for the whole “being a rapist” thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve yet to be convinced by Rudden and we’ve seen very little of Kouder-Aissa. Hopefully Spittal starts instead of Gordon too. Brian Graham hasn't scored >9 league goals in a season since 12-13. He isn't even the best striker in the West End ffs. He hasn't actually played in the third tier since 2007, and it's a very different league than the Championship. Shocking shout that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without sounding like a total arse (as normally will happen when I comment), I have a couple of mates who support Hibs and one that supports Ross County and both groups moaned about him constantly, with the exception of a few specific games. Quite a poor scoring record (99 goals in 17 seasons with one season where he scored 18 for Raith being an outlier and bumping that figure up) and only 31 career assists according to Transfermarkt. What is it he brings as a frontman at Thistle that makes fans think he'll storm the league? Don't get me wrong, he might well, but it seems like a bit of a bizarre assumption given his limited output.

I could well be wrong regarding how his season will go but he does look to me like a player who will come in with a good return this season. His league scoring record with us is decent, 3 in 6. In pre season he certainly has looked up to the task, he should be a key player for us this season. Only time will tell how he does, him being suspended for the opening 3 games is a blow for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) I'm sure Brian Graham is gutted he didn't rape anyone and have to spend his career in League One and Two in Scotland padding his goalscoring record so he had more than this arbitrary figure of >9 league goals in a season.

Falkirk09Bairn Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I’ve always found it very sinister that Clyde fans actively cheer on a rapist. It worries me how they act around women outside of football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmer kid. It's not an arbitrary figure, it is a literal figure and was me being kind. Taking the one 18 goal season out, he averages just over 5 goals a season. No one is saying Goodwillie isn't a horrendous rapist and as a consequence plays way below his level. My question was what makes Brian Graham so valuable to Thistle. Good to see you're taking your new found and extremely deserved level well though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagsCG Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Graham, is our best striker from what I’ve seen, and should do well in this league, however I doubt he’ll be League top scorer because as has been pointed out, he’s never been a prolific Goalscorer, or certainly not for a long time. Goodwillie probably is the best striker in the league, although I’ve yet to see him play, apart from in the Cup vs us last season, where he was pretty awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's much doubt that he's the best striker in the league, and it really is unfortunate that he plays for my club. I pay money towards his wages, but he's actually friends with your club captain, who if rumour is to be believed was instrumental in Falkirk almost signing Goodwillie in January. My point is the buck doesn't stop at the Clyde fans for continuing to support the club we love, the Goodwillie issue is a far reaching one and if everyone that enabled him playing football was held to account, we wouldn't have a competition in Scotland. Out of interest in your stance, did you boycott the games at Broadwood last season and if so will you continue to this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was indeed pretty awful that night but was his first start after injury in the play off final with basically no pre season behind him. Hopefully Danny has some awful shouts from Tuesday night like Howie in midfield and Rumsby starting out his mind ahead of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's how this works 1. Player is recommended to club or catches eye of manager 2. Manager asks Board if player signing could be funded 3. Board says yes or no 4. If yes, player is offered deal 5. If acceptable player accepts and is signed I haven't worked it out yet, but where in the above do I get to input my opinion, assuming I had one of course? If you can't answer that, then why do I, and others, need to suffer your repetitive tedium? Clue: those who have a part to play don't read P&B, so aren't swayed by the tedious and repetitive references. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
