I’m sure your next negative comment is seconds away
Repeat after me GRE 'I'm not a real fan'.
What an absolute tosser, quite the biggest clown on the forum.

"but this is a club that is now set up to compete in the top division of Scottish football"
who at firhill committed this to paper?
they should be taken into a darkened room and made to watch our recent games
These people live in eternal darkness.

So no new chairman bounce then?
No. But the trend is plain to see.

So Fans are to accept anything and the Blackmail of Going Under is justification ?
We had Boycotts before - we are still here
And it's time we had another; after all the windbagging about how bad the Barnsley Board were, we are actually in a worse position and headed in the same direction. And going by our last performance we wont be back in a hurry.
We've had three changes of management and three changes of squad. Who could possibly be to blame … maybe she'll sack Bunter and re-employ Caldo the Clown. Part of the problem not part of the solution.
I certainly wont be back at Firhill while that incompetent @rsehole is in charge.

I don’t know the ins and outs of Director finances, but I did observe that when Beattie was Chairman the Board managed to stabilise finances behind the scenes.
Surely if he & other Directors managed to do that, they should be acknowledged rather than criticised for realising their investment.
+1.
We'll see how well the present set of 'buffoons' do. At present they seem to be taking the club in exactly the same direction that Barnsley are going.

Not exactly sure, but she was pitchside at the Celtic game. Officially unofficially involved.
That explains much, as we head to a new low, so to speak.
Probably the last straw for some of us.

It's possible to be critical of the management team without calling for them to be sacked. That's the sentiment I've encountered most since Friday.
Our form during January/February last season played a huge part in keeping us up, but we appear to have gone backwards during the same period this year, despite the backing given to the manager.
It feels to me that McCall is being judged to a different standard than some previous Thistle managers, despite the circumstances being largely the same.

Indeed Barnabas, his body language and his actual language suggests he hasn't a clue as to how to put things right.

When I see this strip I think of St Johnstone
I'm sure a few teams had that design with the full white collar and the 'V' motif extending downwards: Jambos, Saints, and I think Third Lanark too. Biggish crowd there (early 60's?) would suggest Jambos.
So, I'll go for Geordie Niven cutting out a cross (see, Scott Fox it can be done!) to the Jambo/Saint/HiHi centre forward (who must be 10 yards offside), whilst John Harvey and Davie Closs look on.

It's a shambles. Watched that abject team on tv last night with broken hearted disbelief. The, frankly disgusting, sight of McCall chewing wads of gum, seemingly unwilling or unable to coach his players into meaningful action was in sharp contrast to an animated McGlynn. Behind McCall, his two assistants gazed on with petrified eyes. This is not simply a case of bad performances by the players. There is something deeply wrong with the playing side of the club.
Worse still, the management of the club seems to be in decline too. Who is actually running things? Who is interfacing with McCall while the Working Group try to thrash out a fan ownership plan for a dwindling support?
Something is rotten. Perhaps it's been that way for some time but the Premiership income masked the problems. Who knows? One thing is for sure, dark days lie ahead. We can only hope that, once the club is stripped back to the bone, a well run club rises from the ashes of this mess.
Right from the top down.

I just shook my head at that.
His pre-match spiel about (was it?) 'taking 5 or 6 thousand to the Cup Final was, apart from tempting fate, was as Walter Mitty-ish as anything Caldo the Clown ever came away with.
Maybe it's time for the white envelopes to come again.
Bunter has now definitely used up all his goodwill amongst the Jags support. His determination to keep Fox between the sticks (as one example) now looks like nothing more than pig-headedness. As for 'rating' O'Ware and Bannigan being 'the best midfielder in the division', that begins to look more like a case for treatment.

Normal service now resumed by the other 10 players.
From a corner, naturally.

Exactly. Why not give sneddon 90 mins? When you look at that bench the lack of options are scary. I’d like to see Austin come on just to see he actually exists
He does, but not as a footballer.
Normal service resumed with Banzo, I see.

Given the footballing expertise on this forum re formations, goalkeeping prowess and loan signings, why not do away with the coaching staff and the forum just liaise by skype with McCall direct. Should save a few quid.
I thought that was TFE's strategy.

If we were to beat Raith we'll also have to rearrange the Morton fixture.
I don't think fixtures rescheduled for midweek will help our staying up cause. Probably a hindrance.
Normally I would agree a 100%. I did have a vague idea that more games, any games, might give the 'new' elements of the team more 'real' playing time together.
But ...from being undecided about that, I'm now not so sure ...

Its you that keeps coming up with this 'real fan' patter. I have never used the phrase.
Just to be clear - no I am not satisfied, pleased happy etc with the last 3 seasons, I am frustrated as any Jags supporter. I just do not think the knee-jerk reaction of lets sack the manager is helpful. Most people , yes I know not all , thought McCall was the correct appointment. Most people thought we had a decent transfer window. The results have not been as anyone would have hoped.
Solution?? Sack the manager !! Start again. Spend more money getting rid of manager and his backroom staff. Spend more money appointing some else - who ? Don't know does'nt matter= we need as change! Give him 6 months- hell need to bring in his own choice of players- more costs; Oh dear results as still not good- he needs to go. When did it all start to go wrong?? Its all because we did'nt get rid of Archie earlier enough.
FFS - get a grip.
Some of us can remember a time when we came to Firhill to be entertained. Some of us might even remember when we had a crumb of confidence in the people who were running the club. A fish rots form the head down.
If you can point to the bit where I said, or even remotely implied, 'sack the manger', I'll donate £100 to TFE.
Not so much knocking down straw men, and knocking down imaginary straw men.

Ah! I see you accept the perilous position we are in! Fair enough.
It's simple GRE, if you're not happy to accept a 3-season shitfest, you're simply 'not real fan'. How many times?!
What do you want FFS, success?

We don’t sack the manager who gets us relegated.
We give him the budget to sign duds.
When we do sack him, we replace him with a worse manager.
We give him the budget to sign duds.
When we sack him, we hire an ex-manager and re-employ the sacked manager who got us relegated.
You really couldn’t make it up.
Nah, you're just making this up.

Ironically, I never at any time believed, no matter how badly we played under Caldwell that we'd go down. I don't have the same confidence this season.
Sad to say.

Don’t know if they are all duds but we’ve got almost half a team of loan players Cole , O,Connor , Barjonas , Mayo , McKinnon.
Is that really the way forward , middle to front , there is nothing ( creativity or pace )
I’ll take a play off place now .

I mean, really, what's your problem GRE?
Why can't you just lie back and celebrate that fact, like real fans do, that the present manager's record is worse than the last, that we haven't won a single game this calendar year (and don't look likely to), that we're headed for the third tier of Scottish with little likelihood of bouncing back, and that we're being run by a bunch of clowns, some of whom have no real connection to the club, and whom you wouldn't leave charge of the school tuck shop?
