The biggest shock to me yesterday was, we continued to play the same shape and formation that relegated us. Further to that, we continued to play the exact same way. I would think having been relegated it would be time to change tactics but clearly not.

Have to say as bad as we were I really do question this competition format. We won 3 / 4 and yet St Mirren who win 1/4 are guaranteed to go through? Just seems a bit daft. Don’t get me wrong they won 3 penalty shootouts but surely it should come down to games won before goal difference?

That was really dreadful. Possibly the worst mistake I’ve ever seen lead to the first goal. Then the team ran out ideas and chucked it. Nice to see our management team have a plan b...

Have to say growing tired of the Bannigan will be fit again in four weeks (sounds familiar) and I am also tired of us carrying injured players. We have been more than good enough to Bannigan, and its time we gave him a 6 month deal, pay as you play, to prove his fitness. Like it or not, its football. We cant afford to be the good guys and always carry passengers. Keeping injured players around is partly what got us in this mess in the first place. I have zero doubt that if fit Bannigan is a great player, but after 2 years out and injury again to the same knee, is he ever going to be fit? maybe im being cynical but I honestly feel, its time to move on, or give him a deal that works to our advantage. If he needs to earn a living, give him a coaching post or something, just don’t take it out the player budget if he is never going to be available for us.

Scottish Sun says we are in for Paul McMullan from Dundee Utd

Guys who haven't agreed a deal with their clubs id currently take are Halkett Quitongo Oliver Greer Murdoch I realise 3 of them are Morton players but they all fit the bill

Im sure he will be fine. But sadly that's my lasting memory from what I've seen from him.

Oh dear

Great signing, maybe even captain material

For me Booth was always good at running but no so good at tackling or crossing. A poor mans Stephen ODonnell on the opposite wing.

Oh and I forgot the other goal ‘To bring the Scottish cup back home to Maryhill’

Have to say, we all need to step back and take a chill pill. final game of the season, the guy in front of me had a go at me because I was being very vocal and laughing at our teams insistence on going down each wing. He rather bluntly turned round and told me I was stupid and didnt see the 10 Livi players standing in the middle of the park and we were trying to work something. I told him we had been trying the same thing all season to no avail, but I’ll be honest I felt a resent towards this guy who I didnt even know (he probably felt the same about me) not because of him or his love for Partick Thistle, but because the team being so bad had caused us fans to turn on each other. So lets take time to reflect and realise that we all want the same thing, for the Jags to be better. We all want to win. No need for pettiness it wont make you feel any better. It doesn’t make you right just because you see it that way. Lets come together again at the start of the season, and work towards our final goal. Promotion.

Yeah have to remember guys, as I said although this came from an Ex Jags player who is now coach at another club, it could well be a case of chinese whispers. He also mentioned that numerous other clubs coaches were aware of situation and nobody up north would touch Osman with a barge pole. Whether or not its true, I am for one just glad he finally realised the team were his biggest problem this season, Yes he signed most of them, but he also led us to our best finish ever last year. Dont get me wrong, I wanted Archie out months ago, and again after last Sunday, but the clubs stuck by him, and as far as im concerned the matter is closed, Archie will have my full support again next term. Players will come and go; but the fans will always stick by the Jags!

Interesting to know heard from another coach whom works elsewhere and who knows Archie well (also an ex jag) said he had a conversation with Archie about 4 weeks ago and that the clear out was going to happen whether we stayed up or went down. Apparently he admitted he was having trouble with the dressing room and Osman was causing more trouble by introducing a no confidence in Archie situation. No idea if its truth or just another lot of bull. Lets be honest most of what comes out peoples mouths about this sort of stuff lacks integrity and honesty, so believe it if you want but to me it makes a lot of sense, especially when you hear Archies interview, I think a lot of players had decided they were heading for the exit door anyway! moving on though, well done to archie for clearing out the dead wood. Actually excited for a summer signing spree for the first time in years! bring it on

I just want a few players who will shoot, this crossing the ball into box constant and not willing to take shots has went on too long!!

Wouldn’t touch Stokes or Flood. Id take Miller on a player coach role, Thomas O’Ware from Morton would be top of my priorities list. Jordan Thompson from Rangers Jason Naismith from County Blair Alston from St J Scott McDonald player coach if no Kenny Miller id also take Paul Paton and Higginbotham back And Calum Morris from Dunfermline theres probably a load more!

Personally agree with everyone released and kept. first point of call I’d hope is Archie brings in Thomas O’Ware in defence.

Absolutely rotten. Gutless performance and terrible management. can someone tell me if we have two large magnets fitted at either touch line? Our wing backs constantly hug the touchline leaving no space to beat their man, and the final ball is just dreadful. Out of interest id love to see how many goals we scored from crossed balls this season. Every single attack that went down the wing fizzled out, every attack down the middle looked dangerous. Players were awful today, but honestly its the Management teams fault we were relegated. Truthfully if the players and Archie stay we will go down again. awful

Jags to win 2-0 with Young James to get the winner.

Have to say, think its time to throw away any caution. Cerny Cargill Barton Devine Elliott. Booth McCarthy Woods. Penrice Storey Doolan This is assuming Keown, Erskine and Lawless all out injured. If not Erskine to replace Storey, Keown to replace Bombscare Devine and Lawless to get nod over Penrice. Id also keep Sammon and Edwards as impact subs.

Sadly working away for first leg so that will have to be on TV. Happily ill be home for the 2nd leg so I am leaving on forward to that!

Ive resorted to this - live stream on Alba

didnt this happen in the championship last year and teams got fined

Whether or not we get relegated, have to say - St Johnstone have made this a ridiculous situation by dropping the majority of their 1st team players when so much is at stake for us and county

anyone abroad signed up to deetv live? if so, do you know how to get it to work? i've paid but cant see a way to get it working...
