jagfox Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Peak Thistle on Facebook! Spoiler HOW ABOUT DOING SOMETHING RADICAL :- You may think I'm nuts , but see what you think . Our team is at the bottom of the league , our team are lacking confidence , some people want the team replaced , some want the manager replaced ( which I have sympathy for ) , some want the board changed , some want the manager to get a transfer window and more time. As supporters there is almost nothing we can do except wait , not attend games or try to cheer a bit more from the stands which can be hard to do in these circumstances .We'd like to give some of the team a kick in the backside , but can't so what else is there we could do . I reckon the team confidence has all but gone , Doolan our great hope for scoring goals has lost his touch and I reckon our new manager Caldwell may well be very low in confidence too whether we like him or not . If we continue as we are we will fall further adrift , It is unlikely the board will axe Caldwell and we are not going to get a new team in the transfer window so we are stuck with the manager and most of the team . Now here is the radical suggestion , what if we actively went out of our way to encourage the team and manager as individuals . How are we going to do that is the next question. If we sent each of our squad and manager/ coaching staff and encouraging letter or Christmas card with encouraging personal content eg to Doolan " It's been a difficult year and a really difficult start to the season , but we know what you're capable of and we/ I just want to let you know that we're supporting you and I hope you can get back to your old ways soon and get a few goals under your belt , I wish you and your family a Happy Christmas signed whoever . What do you think . Somebody could make a list of the squad etc, on FB where you could select the players etc you wanted to send a card to . Imagine you were one of our players at the moment or the manager , would it not encourage you if you got 20 , 30 or 50 cards all with personal encouragement , would you not feel better for it . Perhaps it could transform the team and management , it could even generate a lot of media interest if it was successful . What do you think ? If you were sending more than one card they could all be sent together . I would be happy to supply some boxes of Christmas cards . As a support we are not the same as other teams supporters , this would highlight that difference. If you just think I'm nuts then that's fine,, but mon the Jags I think this is a serious suggestion? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 “As a support we are not the same as other teams supporters, this would highlight that difference.” That, sadly, sums up the attitude of so many Thistle fans. A bunch of wet wipes completely satisfied with everything at the club, regardless of how utterly shite it may be. An absolute disgrace. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure many other supports would bulk buy 200 Christmas cards with "get better at football soon" messages for their players. Also, my word Facebook fans are the worst. Craig Gordon and Ikechi Anya signing in January, according to ours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not agree more, this post sums up what a lot of us feel. We are not different, special or any other namby pamby description. We are not happy to accept this ongoing pish and put it down to "it's the Thistle Way" or some other dross. Many of us are raging at what we need to defend every Monday morning as an excuse for our team and I for one willnever back up another dire performance with a laugh about us being Partick Thistle Nil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Follow up from the Ghost of Christmas future... Quote It's good that 4 or 5 people see my proposal as a good idea . I'm sure there will be more who think the same , but have made no comment . I do think that players on the whole will be bothered . To make it professionally as a player in the first place you must be a competitor and one who wins . To lose week in week out has got to have an effect on the player's confidence . The frailty of their confidence can show when they collapse after conceding a goal although to be fair our defence has been better recently .Time will tell , but you get better response from most people by encouragement than daily criticism . I'll be sending my cards next week Quote you might want to send them a wee selection box as well and maybe a lynx set i think that would help them win a few games Edited December 7, 2018 by jagfox99 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Absolutely. Made a few good saves, and has a decent command of his area already. Give him the rest of the season and I’m sure at absolute worst he’ll give us the exact same as we’d get from Bell. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 3rd red card in a reserve game this season and his second yellow today was for dissent. He did also score a free kick and a penalty as we beat Aberdeen 2-1 but he cannot be trusted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
