Barney Rubble Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 There's a reason Sammon has been punted by every club he's been at in the last five years. He's part of the reason we're in this mess in the first place, so no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gulp of tea just went all over my screen AJ - the song I'm listening to right now is Rory Gallagher's Million Miles Away. Which is roughly the distance where I want those who put us in this situation last season to be from our club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for making you splash over your screen BR.(oh matron) Have to agree regarding people being Million Miles Away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 If Caldwell is after Sammon and lands him, that’s us definitely down. He’s useless, just like the manager. Surely Britton would object to that signing when he is asked for the money to do the deal. Then again, I forgot that it is non-football people running the show these days.

Legs Like A Spider Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Sammon is not who we need right now....... or any other time for that matter. Things are bad enough as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all their four studio albums are ahead of their time (the jags, mcginty is murder, the king john lambie is dead, seaside leagues here we come), plus there's the aptly titled live album rank, and as for the compilation albums, where do I start, with magnificent collections including hatful of sorrow, and jacqui low won't listen. As for the songs themselves, i'm currently listening to a playlist of them that includes classics such as bigmouth gary strikes again, some managers are bigger tits than others, mccall started something he couldn't finish, what difference does a decent manager make, suffer little keown, powerpoint it was really nothing, i want the manager i can't have, i know 2013s over, that two years of sh1te isn't funny anymore, frankly mr caldwell, there is a storey that never gets dropped, panic on the streets of maryhill, jacqui in a tutu, death of a sand dancer, last night i dreamt that thistle were top, please please please let the thistle fans get what they want, jags fans of the world unite and take over, doolan take a bow, this charming erskine Now, what to drink to welcome oblivion?

Alan Murray Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Jeffries was okay I would have liked to have kept him but with Tam O'ware back that would have meant too many right-sided centre-backs. Scobbie was not terrible but Saunders is a much better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most recognise this, already. However, Scobbie and Jeffries were not pointless signings, they were necessary loan cover for the main CBs. From what I saw of them, they were fine for this role. Player wise, this is far from our worst ever teams. Selectively listing the worst players from most squads will make it look like a horror show. However, (ignoring the new players for now) a squad comprising Doolan, Erskine, Slater, Bannagan, Sneddon, Elliot, Spittal, Penrice (who played a major role in promotion from this level last season), Fitzpatrick, Wilson and McCarthy (and even Keown who played a big role in our top 6 team, suggesting that there is a player there somewhere), should not be bottom of the Championship, and losing touch with a part-time set up. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Jag Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Players signed by Dick Campbell: Mark Roberts Simon Donnelly Johnny Tuffey Alan Archibald John Robertson A lot of dross as well, but, I guess my point is there were *some* not terrible footballers.

It's pretty simple either the player pool isn't good enough or the blame lies at the door of the current manager and the last. A lot of the guys you named above have been unable to string back to back wins for 70....games. Plus no away win in almost a year or so. It's pretty obvious we are nowhere near good enough as some may think....we are bottom for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty obvious we are nowhere near good enough as some may think....we are bottom for a reason. It's the away wins stat which I think is most damaging. The back to back wins for 70 games stat is a repeat of a similar run in 2013-14, during a period of relative success. Of course, it is far less excusable at this level than in the Premier. Of course the blame lies at the door of the current manager and the last. Archibald has paid the price for his failure. Caldwell is doing worse and surely can't be kept on much longer. Gerry Collins was sacked after 14 league games (no wins- but at a higher level), and I don't remember anyone thinking it the wrong decision. Caldwell's 1 win in 14 surely merits a similar response.
