  1. Tiffoney won't go much further than Thistle. He can produce magic but you see him at a higher level and he will be found out even more unless he adapts his game. The amount of times he gives away possession is unbelievable. No point being negative regarding keeping players. They're a close knit group who can play brilliant football together. Even if we lose 1 or 2 it is not a disaster as long as a couple of new signings are made. We definitely need a big hatchet man in midfield and a centre half.
  2. Congratulations to County and the character shown to come back. Always a pleasure to travel to Dingwall. Lovely area and friendly fans and a well run club. Thistle can have no complaints with the outcome as they had so many chances and sadly wasted them.
  3. VAR is irrelevant. If we'd not been so wasteful it would never have come to this. We need to look at how we can improve as a team instead of blaming technology which is here to stay. We had so many chances to score particularly at Firhill. Effectively we blew it and I don't see the point in blaming anyone but ourselves.
  4. Forget VAR, referees or anything else. We lost out because of how wasteful we were. So many chances to score particularly at Firhill but two absolute sitters from Bannigan and Mullen today as well. Yes we were unlucky but that's why you need to take the chances when they come along as you never know when things will turn against you. All credit to County for not giving in, Thistle are a better footballing side but that doesn't guarantee victory.
  5. Will be a shame to see him go always did a good job, understood the game and knew what he was doing. All credit to him for battling on with Parkinsons and raising awareness instead of taking the easy route. Always seemed like a decent guy on tv anyway.
  6. I think it must have been difficult for Archie returning and adjusting to the new role and situation. I don't see any point in blaming him though or begrudging him of the job. He has spent half his life at the club, he knows the score and at least we know he can be trusted and has the clubs best interests. It is somewhat peculiar the set up McCall opted for but I think Neil Scally is a very decent guy and coach as well. Things are bad enough but I don't see any point in playing the blame game with them at this stage. The players on the other hand.........
  7. Been listening to a few 60's classics..........
  8. I'd recommend the Golf My Way video by Jack Nicklaus for anyone seeking some good guidance. I have it on video but it's also been uploaded on Youtube. May have been filmed in the 80's but still very relevant today. Keeps it simple and lighthearted, covers a lot without any technicalities and I've seen a nice improvement in my play and overall consistency after using it to help me. You can't go wrong with a living legend! and still in some people's view the greatest player to pick up a golf club.
  9. Polls are usually just a random reflection of opinions. Of course they can be useful and give a general idea but that's all. It's pretty stupid to take a 'public' opinion poll of 100 people off the street then apply it to a whole country. Which plenty do because they don't know or think about it that way. Polls can easily be biased either intentionally or unintenionally and unless you know how the polls been designed with sampling etc and its on a large scale then it can easily be misleading. Too many people take the word of poorly designed polls that can't be applied widely and allow it to mislead and influence them in the wrong way.
  10. How many people here have actually been wearing masks at all? Where I come from most don't. Personally I don't like hiding my pretty face but needs must from tomorrow.
  11. Personally reading these politics forums it's silly the way people keep referring to mysterious polls and surveys. Polls are subject to great bias even polls created by so called neutral organisations. Most polls have no validity whatsoever in public opinion unless they are done on a large scale and even then are often wrong. Total waste of time.
  12. I have just recently started playing golf. Having took to it somewhat late in life I'm decent enough for a beginner. I hit the ball pretty straight, good with irons and at putting but the main problem I'm having is my driving off the tee. I hit the ball quite flat and on tee shots I'm not getting the right mix of height and power. Usually my drives are too low. I've even started using my iron to tee off and my drives with a 3 wood are a bit better. Any tips would be appreciated!
  13. McCall is the right man to take us forward again. Knows the club and Scottish game inside out and has an eye for a signing. It's imperative we get off to a good start for the new season and if we get on a good run the sky's the limit. Trying to take positives from the situation, league 1 gives us the chance to start winning matches again, build up a feel good factor of success even if it is in the 3rd tier and reap the benefits.
