Ultimately all four goals were handed to Ross on a plate, with a different player culpable for each one- I don’t think any were due to Harkins I thought hazard could have done far better for 3 of them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you go today? By your own admission, it was shocking from both players and manager. So tell us, exactly what difference does it make if anyone went or not?

It’s af it their early goal completely spooked us and drained our belief. We just surrendered. Completely. You have called it right there. Horrible miskick conceded the goal and the whole team psyche collapsed completely. From that moment on the result seemed inevitable. Strange as we were still ahead at that point.

Your criticising me saying I’m happy with being bottom. The pars have had a couple of good results and based on our second half I fear a pumping on Tuesday Aye sadly. But you have quoted me selectively. You didn’t acknowledge my earlier posts (‘all over this thread’) celebrating us going in front? Like I said, none of us want the Jags to lose. But when we do lose I have opinions as you do. Have a good evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Col Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Just in. Rarely have I been so angry at the end of a game. Complete capitulation in the second half and just like the manager, some of Gary’s players horribly exposed as being not good enough for this level. Absolute disgrace.

Same old, same old sh1te. No blaming Archie's duds this time around. Old guy beside me at the start of the second half said look at the body language we're gonnae get pumped. Be interesting to hear what Caldo the Clown's fan boi's will have to say tonight. As far as I'm concerned Caldwell can GTF right now. So one defeat and it's Caldwell GTF. No surprise. A truly awful capitulation. Hard to watch....reality check yes. From heroes to zeros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Sitting on train in stunned silence. Need to process that 2nd half and watch Jagzone before commenting. 1st half = going for play offs. 2nd half = my 5-a-side team when we go a goal behind to 20 somethings.

You're right. Never nice singling players out for blame. However, he's not a Thistle player, he's a 6'5 internationalist who's on a four year deal at Celtic. We should expect better. A few on here were quick to single out Sneddon v Morton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be the players he signed because they “have the right character” which we have heard ad nauseum over the past few weeks.

Jimmy McD Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Just when you think that we have turned the corner. a bit of day light at the end of a big tunnel and we go and put in a 2nd half performance like that.Completely over ran so much for them playing 2 hours of football on Tuesday night...I have thought for a few game's now big Hazard leaves a lot to be desired at cross balls does not command his area with any conviction...Terrible day at the office...

Duke Gekantawa Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 1 hour ago, Duke Gekantawa said: Oh so familiar failings. McMillan literally cowering on the line (actually he retreated behind the line covering his face) for their first goal is possibly the most embarrassing thing I’ve seen on a football pitch. Quoting myself may be bad form, but I wanted to check if anyone else noticed this. He still had a theoretical chance of blocking the shot, however small, and it seemed to me he absolutely shat it in a manner completely unacceptable for a player down the local rec, never mind a paid professional. I genuinely hope I misread the situation completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much to disagree with in your assessment, however please keep in mind that many who are on the forum during and immediately after the game are those who cannot be present due to distance, and with the demise of the excellent home coverage from Jagzone following our relegation it naturally follows that their may be a few more opinions n this message board. Either way, if they are posting on here it doesn't mean they can't be bothered supporting the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old chestnut. "Were you at the game today"?. There are numerous reasons that people 'cant'make a game. Distance is one, although I live in Aberdeen it wouldn't bother me, affordability, again I am fortunate enough to be able to afford it. Another one is work commitments. Some people like me are contracted to work on a Saturday so are rarely able to go. So, there many more reasons apart from the ones you stated. And as for your comment on people who don't go having a less importance of opinion is absolute garbage. You obviously just don't like people who have a different opinion to yourself.

Hard to watch....reality check yes. From heroes to zeros. That'll be a different interpretation of “I think you can see the impact … not just on the first team but through the reserves and away from the players as well. It completely changes the feel about the place and I see that when I speak to the office staff, the supporters, anyone associated with the Club really." Ditto "Caldwell is happy that his side have stopped conceding as many goals. YEs, I can see the impact, indeed we all saw it today. Somebody said the 'old doubts arise' - for many of us they never went away. They're not doubts any longer, they're certainties, Caldo is full of sh1t, first serious task and his squad doesn't just crumple, it surrenders. We now need to look for a manager to get us out League One. Edited February 23, 2019 by Semi Nurainen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think everyone is guilty of assumptions to be fair. Hopefully on the mend. and well done regarding the hospitality gesture to be fair generally I’ve pretty agreed with a lot of what you said before this season and always generally found you to be good banter - Disagreed with a bit of the pro Archie anti Caldwell posts this year such as for example half time east fife but your not one of the ones I was referring too who totally are going gung ho against those that did.
