Prince of Partick Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 The writing was on the wall, when Beattie resigned, Maxwell got his new job and Archie was not sacked after relegation. The club neededĀ new blood, the opportunity was there, but the board decided to take the easy option, promote from within and avoid difficult decisions. Hope the board are listening to the fans, if not the crowds will get even smaller, the players will give up and we will end up relegated again this season. Jacqui are you listening !!!!!!!!!!!!

MonehJags Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 We apparently signed a player last month that is unavailable in the middle of September and will be for the foreseeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenski Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Who did we sign in September? What triggered this latest doom laden portent? Surely if there's any time in the week you should adopt an optimistic attitude, it's the Friday night before a game??? Lighten up for fux sake.

Ā Don't agree. I get your point and share your frustration. This board and the last are much more progressive and forward thinking (aye, and ambitious) than most others in scotland. Just look at the plans for a training complex. If it doean't happen in kirkie it will happen elsewhere. Thats hardly lacking ambition. Miller Reid???? Only ambition was how much money can i squirrel away from the club and tax man for myself.Ā Oliver / mcmaster were good for saving the club but ambition beyond surviving?

AlgarveJag Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 what a fickle lot we are. You mention Miller Reid and I remember at that time in late 1977 we were playing Aberdeen at home to go clear second and (if memory serves) a point off Rangers on top but we'd sold Alan Hansen and the fans were calling for a sacking of the board. Ā This is a constantly recurring and tiresome theme that has no substance to it but I do hope it relieves some of the stress of being a Jags supporter for posters to vent their frustrations. Only the shareholders have the power to sack the board and the board hold those shares so what you really need to campaign for is for the board to resign but I'm just being pedantic and it's not going to happen. We have the best people in place today than we've had in my many years as a supporter.

AlgarveJag Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Leaping Sammon conjures images of flailing and flapping against the flow and natural order; this was a majestic and controlled levitation composed of power and exerting aerial dominance - altogether a different form of aerial threat. Ā ExaltedĀ and disciplinedĀ flight suspended in mid air as if time were to stand still,Ā where a return to earth was only possible after the neck and head, with landing gear splayed for balance,Ā had powered the bladder to the back of the onion bag. Ā To be honest Connor always looked to me as though someone had pegged his boot laces to the ground when he tried to jump and only because he was a big lump of a lad did he ever got in the way of a defender to blunder an attack. (BTW The Sack The Board committee re-convened again after the announcement that said JumpJet had been sold to St Midden for Ā£100,000) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlgarveJag Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 GRE, yes a big crowd and the fans all changed ends at half time - changed days.

Course not. Are you saying it's all TBC's. It's a partnership. Do you not know how boards of directors at companiesvwork? It's about taling, sourcing funds/support etc. Just cos TBC funds the training ground doesn't make the board unambitious. Don't misinterprate my post, i'm not supportivebofbthe board. Ambivilant?

I would say That they showed a distinct lack of ambition by retaining Archibald as manager, which, week by week is looking a distinctly clueless decision.
