Otis Blue Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 4 hours ago, DoonhamerDon said: While not meaning to add too much to the sense of pessimism/apathy for the remainder of the season, I'm in agreement that its now at the stage of writing-off and starting again in the summer - had we got anything from Alloa and Montrose might have been different but too big an ask now and as said not worth the resources for a short-term push. 9 points to Alloa could be overcome but the league is too bunched IMO to manage to overtake all four teams ahead of us. Agree with much of your post DD. However, I seem to be in glass-half-full mode this evening (don't know why, been cycling up at a windfarm this afternoon and got a bloody puncture for my pains, and it was bloody cold too) and so I don't think the season is entirely written off yet as we are just over half way through. Yes, we definitely won't win this league from 8th place, but I'm not sure that 4th is totally out sight if we were to put a run together. Also, yes - the remainder of the season should be as much about building towards next season's campaign which is key. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting enough quality players to turn our fortunes around is surely impossible It is a rarity, but not impossible. Best thing McCall did for us when he wheeled and dealed and brought in Murray, Adams, McDonald and , I think, some sort of striker ! Never forget the Jan (H) to Partick after they signed. 4 up in dreamland but we still almost managed to blow it ending 4-3. That was the start of something for sure ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think wee Stevie Murray had a great game, not sure he really hit those heights again with us though. Was that the game where Thistle had a decent penalty shout denied in the last minute as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not often that you'll see the words "big" and "Stevie Murray" in the same sentence, but I always thought that Stevie Murray made a big contribution to The Great Escape(TM) which often gets overlooked due to the magnificence of a certain SD*. * Dobbie, not Drifter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Pretty sure that was the game when I bumped into a Thistle supporting work colleague outside the Ice Bowl after the game. He was seething, I was grinning from ear to ear. I tried to offer him felicitations but he was purple with rage and about to deck me, so we decided to bid farewell. He'd calmed down a wee bit at work by the Monday. Happy days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure that Stevie Tosh arrived the following week too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonhamerDon Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 http://www.qosarchive.co.uk/07jan.htm Brilliant archive of the month in question. January 2007 we signed Jamie MacDonald, Jamie McQuilken, Stephen Dobbie and Stevie Tosh Sold Wullie to Kilmarnock - with Murray and Adams coming in on loan - plus Wullie appeared to stay for February? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite surprised at that as I thought he'd get a Championship team and if it was L1 I thought it'd be top end, no offence. Think it'll be a very good signing if it comes off though, he's proven to score goals at that level. Signed for Queens Park 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd heard him linked with them too but all the rumours were QoTS with Bartley. Ah well, best of luck for the rest of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStander1876 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Not a bad attitude in my opinion, just when he realises there’s nothing to play for he’ll down tools, definitely can be great in his day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brought up a few weeks back and I thought the general consensus was that he can go missing at times but a move to League 1 could be just what's needed. Time will tell I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
