Prince of Partick

I support the fans statement.

I think we all deserve some sort of response from our Chief Executive regarding the state of our pitch. More than a few weeks ago we heard the club were bringing in a pitch expert and we would do what we had to do with the pitch following this inspection.. I attended the game yesterday with a friend and I totally embarrassed with the state of the pitch. A huge mud hole right in front of us was evident even before the game started, we even had the cheek to put on the sprinklers just prior to the kick off. Our full/wing back McKenna appeared to be unwilling to make any runs down this wing (who could blame him) he is one of our limited attacking options. At half time our ground staff, 2 men with pitch forks never came near the mud hole, have even they given up. I have some sympathy for the ground men, the weather has been crap, but do we really rely on 2 men with pitch forks ? We need answers, the mud hole has been there for months, surely some sort of temporary re turfing was possible this area. Is the club skint, has the club given up trying to get to the playoffs, have the players given up due to the state of the pitch. On paper we have a a talented group of players who like to play football, they need a pitch to play the Partick Thistle way Rumours are adrift about Fans Ownership, 3 Black Cats etc etc We as fans are very loyal, playoffs are still possible, at the start of the season we would have taken where we are right now. The Manager is an honest man, he has made selection mistakes, Jamie made mistakes yesterday but we all need to get behind the team, Tuesday night is key to our season . Gerry/Jacqui where are you, we need answers . . We sat the in JHS close to the JLS, a huge mud hole was evident

Hello Jags Fans, Big game on Tuesday night so I have started this new thread. I am fed up with the McCall chat, not happy with the new Chairman but lets get back to football chat. First issue for Tuesday is the pitch playable, the forecast for the next couple of days does not look to bad after heavy showers this afternoon, but is the damage done after so much rain over the weekend. The team, where do we start ? Fox or Sneddon, Fox appeared to have a good game v Rangers reserves but like most others I think Sneddon should be given a chance. I hope Williamson is fit again, we need his crosses for Graham and Rudden to attack the QOS defence, I am sure Morton did that yesterday. We need Darren MacKinnon to protect the defence, maybe not the quickest but this is a battle now and he has previous. O'Ware and Brownlee in central defence need to be given time to gel but we need to stop giving goals away. Reece Cole needs to recover some form or get dropped. I am looking forward to seeing Graham and Rudden up front hopefully Rudden is fully fit. Zanatta is an other who needs to up his game, guy has plenty to offer but needs to turn up. I will leave the rest to the gaffer, in McCall we trust nut we need to start getting results.

Don't know about anyone else, I am now fed up with this topic, lets get back to talking about football. Our fixtures in March are going to define our season, lets get behind McCall, the Board, the ball boys, the pie sellers, let's get positivity into everything Partick Thistle. Let's use yesterdays bounce game as a stepping stone to a successful March.

Where will be the designated Singing Area, hopefully right behind Celtics dugout !!!!!!

Did anyone notice if Tam O'Ware was training today in the pictures published earlier today, we need him in the team against the Arabs.

Barnsley looking for a new Head Coach, bet Gary is busy updating his Power Point Presentation.

Thanks for this evenings AGM updates, any mention or details on the consortium's plans or timing

hearing nothing

anyone else having trouble listening to Jagzone ?

Fantastic news, welcome back boys and welcome to Thistle, Neil Scally. Great work by David Beattie, Gerry and the board. Now David, how about a call to Colin Weir and end all this Chinese /American billionaire talk. Great day to be a jags fan.

I just wonder, the club have rightly in my mind come forward with a statement about a certain song. I just wonder, if the fans start singing Caldwell get to f---, if the club will listen and act !!!!!!

Caldwell must go, 2 out of 15 is totally unacceptable, no more excuses. If the current board will not do it, time for a change has come. Where is Chien Lee ? If Mr Lee is not coming, sign the club over to the fans. Who should replace Caldwell, I would love McCall /Doolan but that is not happening anytime soon. Kenny Miller is worth a try until the end of the season at least he shows passion and fight and indeed knows how to score goals. Totally brassed off tonight, we have played 2 part time teams and have amassed 2 points, but we have had a great week training, boys are raring to go, lots of positives to take on to Dunfermline, ha ha

Exciting line up, lets get behind the boys.

You are maybe right but he was still our most dangerous player.

Caldwell must go now before we become even more detached. Football is a results driven business, I think Caldwell has assembled a good squad but if he can not motivate them as a team, we need a change. Zanatta looks a good player as we know from his Alloa days, Hall looks decent and will get better with some games, a new manager is required to get the best out of this squad. Gordon's sending off right in front of me was at best a booking. Banzo should know better. straight red is all the ref could do. Zanatta's substitution was a joke, best man in a thistle jersey by a mile. New Manager next week, the board knew this start was possible so must have looked at candidates , hopefully not Power Point Presentations. Mr Beattie/Mr Lee over to you. Act quickly before it is too late

I took in the Glasgow Cup game on Wednesday, uninspiring performance against Rangers Colts however it was an opportunity to give game time to O'Ware and Ben Hall. Looking forward to tomorrows game, Caldwell has some big calls to make. Sneddon had several good saves on Wednesday and for me needs to go in ahead of Fox. Big taking point for me is defence, Ben Hall looks a player albeit against a young Rangers team, so for me goes straight in, McGinty should be first on the team sheet for me for his performance's so far this season, O'Ware is getting back to full fitness, Saunders steady performer. Bannigan came on for the last 20 mins and Wednesday and made all the difference, energy, aggression and passion, great to see. Upfront, Jones for me is either not match fit or just not good enough, Mansell is an impact Sub or tactical starter to rough up defenders. De Vita to me has shown nothing so far. My team for tomorrow: Sneddon, Prenrice, Hall, O'Ware, McGinty, Williamson, Bannigan, Palmer, Cardle, Miller, Zanatta Lets get behind the team, we need the 3 points

I was in the stand at Cappielow on Friday night, Caldwell as usual tries to tell the experienced players what to do from the technical area, reminds me of an over anxious parent at a school game. Banzo has not been himself this season although against Ross County he was back to his best. When he was substituted on Friday night he was raging. To my mind Cammy was knackered and was the obvious one to come off. Is there a problem between Banzo and Caldwell ? Could Banzo be off in this window, McCall will be watching this situation closely !!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone got any thoughts ?????????????

Tam was telling people last night that playing 3 games in 7 days a few weeks ago, had set him back a bit, hopefully ok for Ayr on Saturday

Just saw that big Sean has been named in the SPFL team of the week. Congratulations Sean well deserved Hardly put a foot wrong at the weekend and I don't recall missing many headers either. Big Sean is now massive for us and his never say die attitude is just what we need. Well done big man keep it up.

ok, good comments, trying to be positive, but maybe 3 new players !!!!!

thanks so something like £192k +£60k = £252k 4 new players !!!!!!!!!!!

I need some clarification, I saw earlier today we get circa £60k for getting the quarter final, is the entrance money shared minus home club expenses ? Lets say the crowd is 30,000 x £20 entrance =£600k - home club expenes's= £500k /2 = £250k to us plus our £60k = £310k to us, am I right ? that's like selling another Aidan. Lets also not forget 1971 Loved yesterday fans and team were magnificent.

Can anyone who attended the open day confirm: 1. Is O'Ware injured 2. Was Mitch Austin training 3. Any sign of Craig Slater 4. I assume Harkins is still in a moon boot ?

Caldwell has showed more management ability than our last three managers. I support him (and his powerpoint presentations) I have seen enough including the first half of last night that we will be challenging. Banzo defo needs a rest, Palmer will be a great player for us, I hope we can keep him until the end of the season. Lets not be despondent tonight.
