Stone wall penalty. dodged a bullet

were moving the ball about well, but there is no out and out commanding centre half. Our season is well and truly over must just stay away from relegation. Arsenal just scored its a similar game to the keech served up in Scotland... Brian Graham takes over until the end of the season...

No Defence.

What will happen is that after the Raith game Dools will step down Brian Graham will take over until the end of the season, he will win his next game and immediately be offered the job. Dools has failed to see that the midfield cannot support the defence simply non-existent , they don't run, track or tackle, fouling is no problem right enough. Big Muirhead is not an out and out Centre but a first class sweeper, an outright ball winning centre half is a must. Dools would do well to look at last years play offs and the results from the Queens and Ayr game, identify the one player missing who played in the Ross game missed a clear opportunity and also a penalty. the old boy network is still alive and kicking. professionalism is what is required at Firhill not the sand dancers and comic sing there is at present....

Wont have many friends left after having watched this crap

Utterly shocking, the team run around like weans chasing a poly bag about in a breeze. The non-existent midfield, watch play like additional referees only taking part when the ball runs over their toes. What is Doolan`s instructions on the pitch?. Do they work on anything in training or do they just run around the park in preparation for a poly bag blowing across the pitch. We are unbelievably third in this league, which would suggest that a team that is organised, a team who have a game plan, a team who are structured who work on set plays. would walk this league. Step down son

Season now over. This is the time for Dools to build for next season. three goals in twenty minutes v Ross County, Two up against Cove, Two up v Raith and now today. In 71 this lack of football knowledge would have seen us being scudded by Celtic in the second half. Simply putting your hand up to a F@#k up is keach. As a player Dools was a club Legend, as a manager just another runner in the pack of keach managers in Scotland.

No structure, No organisation, No good. Manager must get to grips with this fast, looks like Dools got all his managerial knowledge from the likes of Archibald & McCall. Shockerooney.

Firhill Road Take me Home To the team that I Love Partick Thistle Red &n Yellow Take me Home Firhill road...... Simple Enough?

My Turn. I Said McCall should have been sacked after the comments he made after the Falkirk game. But in typical thistle style we waited until there was a mountain to climb before the penny dropped. I voiced doubts on Dools appointment after the one game, and it is little wonder that the best performance we had was without Bannigan. The squad we had last year was well good enough, if only we had had a proper manager. I give Bannigan pelters for not performing as he should in such a critical position. for at present its a waste of a shirt and akin to playing with ten men. Perhaps a real manager would further his career, because what he is doing in training is not being shown on the pitch, as i say for such a critical position its simply not good enough for this level of football. I'm not convinced its truly Dools or Archibald back in a Tom Cruise mask, but nothing seems to change. The shutters open a few days before the season starts, we bring in players once the season begins and pray to John Lambie in the sky they hit the ground running, or they're half as good as the sales pitch from their agent. Crystal Palace went with a proven track record irrespective of his age. Perhaps this is the time we do the same and hunt for a proper manager. Sure was it not the Lambie him self who said "there is no room for sentiment in football"

This was right up there with one of the worst games ever. Dools gets credit for games we should be winning and perhaps McCall might have won also. Cant see no obvious change in our play, I see mention of 4,3,3 & 4,4,2 which basically means nothing when we just play the same way anyhow. Its the same old substitions (no change there). When chasing the game It would be interesting to keep Graham on with Dowds as support. Without organisation and service to them that's all pretty academic of course. maybe now's the time to find a creative ball winning attacking mid fielder. Dundee were mince which is a less offensive word for Sh*te, and to think they could win the play offs beggars belief. The wee laddie with the crossbar challenge totally summed up Thistle. I congratulate the Spiders on winning promotion (just so long as its not at firhill) and Owen Coyle on wiping his Ars* on the rest of the bogus League managers.

Chris, I wish you all the best although I fully believe we should have waited until the seasons end before making a permanent decision. For myself, I felt the disgraceful way he was treated by the club and the dignified way he dealt with the matter was a real credit to himself and showed his strength as a man. Unfortunately as a manager he will be judged by his results, which is a real way to turn a hero into the goat if not up to the job. I fully support Dools because of respect he has for our club and again wish him all the best as he leads us into Europe. He Picks number 9 who scores all the time.

Yes typical thistle knee jerk again. Dools has done very well 7 points in 3 away matches, I'm now satisfied we wont end up in the wrong playoffs. But one swallow does not a summer make. against Ayr they had a good number of chances that on another day, Arbroath we gave them far to much respect, and again the chances they missed. Dundee however was a different kettle of fish, looked like we had actually trained together and knew what to do. There are comments regarding the fitness of the side which concerns me, what TF were McCall's two pigeons getting paid for?. If Dools can get Bannigan back to the Bannigan that played under McNamara then Dools is in with a shout but until then lets not get to excited.

Bannigan has done well out of thistle, absolutely mediocre in midfield and will struggle at Junior level. Time to go.
