Mediocre Pundit Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 You'll like it if it means winning more games of football. I think it’s possible to be angry at the way it appears to have been handled, despite not necessarily disagreeing with the decision itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzy Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Oh aye, definitely. But if we're pushing for promotion next season then I suspect it'll be forgotten about quickly. That's Caldwell's gamble - he'll live or die by it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I want is to support a team that treats its players - especially great servants who love the club and are loved by the fans - something a little better than shite by a manager who won't drop his knickers the second a "bigger" club comes calling. I know it's still raw, but you'll get over it, mate. Like we've gotten over Law's lack of testimonial, Bone's refusal to play Kenny Arthur and Lambie f*cking off not once but twice, to name a few instances where our feelings have been hurt by the manager/board. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Caldwell's gamble - he'll live or die by it. This. If he brings in a good striker - which, let's face it, we haven't done in a long, long time - then the decision will look a lot better. If he doesn't, it's been a bit of a f**k-up. Wild-card in it is how Doolan does at the next place. If he goes to a fellow Championship club and bangs in 30 goals, then questions will be asked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_paulo Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I can't imagine that many Championship teams would say no thanks to a guy like Doolan on the bench and the training ground. I don't buy the 'new direction' or even 'free up a wage' crap for a minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Caldwell says we’d be interested in Miller and Boyd. The deal for Elliott would make him our highest paid player. I’d ljke Elliott to stay but we shouldn’t be chucking money at him.https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/17632265.gary-caldwell-no-brainer-for-partick-thistle-to-sign-kris-boyd-or-kenny-miller/?ref=twtrec 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I found the Elliott thing bizarre to mention tbh, especially when he's not a standout player. If I was being churlish I'd also point out that Boyd scored 3 league goals in his only season at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I found the Elliott thing bizarre to mention tbh, especially when he's not a standout player. I don’t believe it tbh. Not a chance we’re offering him more than Spittal or what Bannigan will be on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 The Elliott thing is nothing short of bizarre. The Fitzpatrick thing is clearly bollocks, hyperbole, or stripped of its fucking massive asterisks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 As others have said, his best days may be behind him but surely he was worth keeping as a squad player? Given our lowly position, i'd be pretty amazed if we managed to bring in 2 or 3 better strikers this summer. Regardless, the lack of class shown to him by the club is a disgrace. I hope Caldwell goes on to prove himself right and he brings in a few quality players that get us at the right end of the table. But until then, he has just made yet another rod for his own back with the way this has been handled. He already comes across as a w****r, things like certainly dont help that perception. Boyd can f**k off though. We've already got our full quota of unfit lazy b*****ds who cant/wont run assuming Harkins stays. Both him and Miller are just old firm fanboys. Dont want either of them at Firhill. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I'm intrigued to read what's said in the "in-depth interview" which includes his reasoning on letting Doolan leave that is due to go on the site at 10.30 tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Making Christie Elliott the highest paid player at the club is one of the funniest things I've ever read. The club has gone fucking mental. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s try and keep the fans happy with some meat.” Which ignores the fact that it’s - god love him - Christie Elliott. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
