Penrice has been part of two relegations with us. Another player with a loser mentality we could do without. Anyone wanting Doolan, Erskine, or Cole to come back have also lost their mind. Need to stop the rot and develop new, young players in L1.

Could make the same excuse for Cole as Bannigan. The real disappointment in midfield in the second half of the season was MacKinnon. His no show meant there was no steel in defensive mid and Cole and Bannigan had to cover too much defensively. Just possibly with Bannigan having to mind his Ps & Qs (he only picked up one yellow over the last 13 league games), Cole was too often out of position. Put another way one of Cole's strengths was his willingness to play a forward ball into the box. We saw next to nothing of that latterly and I don't think that was all down to a lack of form or ability. Regardless of differing opinions about Cole, signing MacKinnon was a dreadful bit of business. He was well overweight and can't have have passed any serious fitness test. Nobody goes from Championship quality in January to Drumchapel United level in 6 months. A worse signing than Gary Harkins.

I should say this is a fair point and the timing hadn't occurred to me. That was poor and I am sorry.

I find these comments utterly repellent While I don't always agree 100% with them, you usually mange to get your arguments across eloquently and with some factual background. However, comparing the boardrooms of Thistle and Hearts to suicide bombers is unbecoming of you and such comments should have no place on this forum.

It was the majority of clubs that set the rules.. everyman for himself, greed and self interest so we're just playing by their rules. There were opportunities for alternatives such as 14-10-10-10 that would have had a relatively insignificant impact on clubs, but they were totally dismissed from what i can see whithout any credible explanation. Think Thistle in particular are a genuinely decent club but we're totally in the right to fight this injustice.

100 % this im sick of hearing bring back Dools bring back Erskine bring back Cole they were the past and both were failing when they left and have done zero since they left. Cole was rank rotten after he extended his stay i also hate the phrase “they will walk league one” how many players did we say that about when we headed for the championship the team needs gutted and fresh Young hungry Players with a point to prove is what we need sneddon, brownlie, docherty, Lyons, Graham and Rudden is really all I would keep. Could be persuaded on Brannigan but that’s it Priority should be two new Attack minded full backs

Hopefully one day we’ll get more young players progressing into the first team rather than simply being released .

Certainly not yours - a person who is perpetually negative about every player but forms these opinions without attending games.

Always makes me smile when those on the other side of our argument trot out "Ah but 81% of clubs voted to call the season". On the face of it, a reasonable point to make but irrelevant in the SPFL world. Clubs have tolerated a ridiculous voting structure for years where 5% of clubs can overrule 95% of them. The fact is that had Dundee's "No" vote been counted, the proposal would not have been passed, as it failed to meet the Championship voting threshold.

You don't understand what a vexatious litigant is - look it up in your legal textbooks. On the first page of this thread, you claimed that a legal challenge was "utterly hopeless"...eminent QC's and a Court of Session Judge (real lawyers) have taken a different view. Now you think arbitration is futile...so what? You took up pages lecturing us on how our court action would not succeed...but failed even to comment on the arbitration issue which was the reason our case also foundered in 2004. It's the equivalent of that Linesman signalling a throw in against Morton but missing Doolan's Ghost Goal. Back in the 70's Thistle fans used to chant "Worse than East Fife" at any negative & boring teams...when I see yet another supercilious post from you I think "Worse than Javeajag"

Yes I do, not that it’s any of your business.
