That must be the worst this season? Absolute garbage top to bottom (except Fox I guess).

Fox's effort at the third Arbroath goal was ridiculous.

Closest to passmarks for me were Penrice and at a push Kakay.

Thanks Gary, for leaving us a “promotion winning squad”. A squad that must be hidden somewhere because it certainly isn’t the useless shower of Shite that was  on the park today.

Williamson, O’Ware, McGinty, Gordon, da Vita, Harkins and Bobson can all GTF whenever they feel like it, and if they’re still here come end of January I’ll be amazed.

Archibald signed McGinty and O'Ware. Good post otherwise...

Tam O’Ware looking more like a Martin Woods-esque imposter with every passing week. Can’t do his own job, and when he’s not giving the ball away or failing to cut out simple crosses, spends his time pointing and shouting at others.

He, along with McGinty today, were particularly abysmal. Aimless diagonals to nobody, and failing to do their basic tasks as CBs yet again. Additionally, Gordon was his typical invisible self, and De Vita is completely finished. I don’t think there were many pass marks today, but these players in particular were awful.

McCall has his work cut out with this group. So many to replace.

Is it coming back? What's the story?

It came back briefly then disappeared again.

A familiar story today.

Going to Firhill is a soul destroying experience. The smell of festering horse shite as soon as you proceed through the John Lambie Stand turnstiles sets the tone for the day.

Said stand is packed full of grumpy, seething old men. They offer no encouragement or support to the team whatsoever, irrespective of the circumstances. The first mis-placed pass is met with howls of discontent. A hilarious, ridiculously misplaced sense of Old Firm-esq entitlement exists. 

For a lot of these old duffers, it’s just an excuse to vent for 90 minutes. 90 minutes of tedious, unintelligible, foaming at the mouth nonsense. The same people shouting the same shite every fucking week.

I’m absolutely fucking sick of it.

Can't disagree with any of the above, sadly

I am truly shocked at these developments.

Here’s one grumpy seething old man’s view:

‘We sucked the atmosphere right out of the crowd with poor play.’

And:

‘Sloppy ... playing balls that weren’t on ... just took the atmosphere out of Firhill.’

And again:

'Our fans are here and want to see it here and we haven’t given them it.’

Horrible old c--t; his name is Ian McCall.

 

I reckon there should be a sign up saying: ‘Warning! Punters must not expect to be entertained.’

Words i never thought I'd type.

Could somebody please fix WAT. Thank you.

Your opinion isn’t valid tbh.

You're definitely not wrong, even when we won the league you were guaranteed a good helping of old b*****ds screaming to get it forward any time there was a sideways or backwards pass. 

The JHS is unbearable to sit in now that there is actually a valid reason to be a moany old b*****d, with a season ticket at Firhill probably being the worst value of any other in the UK atm.

Nor is Ian McCall's, following your logic.

Hard not to agree with this and HJ's comments. It's not a fun place to be these days, which really starts to defeat the purpose of spending a large portion of one's time at Firhill on a Saturday. I think at the moment me and the lads I go with are really only doing it for the social aspect, usually there is at least one of us each week that suggests we "just stay in the pub" gets more and more tempting with each passing week. 

[Thistle_do_nicely]

Yeah, it almost felt like some sort of out of body experience when we went 3-1 down. Just went onto autopilot and fucked off out of the ground along with a stream of others, same as the Dunfermline game. Rarely left early when we were in the top flight apart from some of the pumpings (Celtic at home springs to mind, take your pick)

The generally bitter weather isn't helping matters either. I'm pretty much in a "well I've already paid for this, might as well go along" state at the minute rather than actively looking forward to the games; this season is a bit of a write-off already.

The passing stuff is what really gets to me these days.  Stealing yards at throw-ins is funny with how raging people get (funnily enough, not when we do the same) but the passing stuff is maddening.  I'm not going to pretend like we play the correct pass 100% of the time.  We absolutely don't.  But if it isn't remotely forward then you get the audible howls and shouts from the crowd despite it often being a very valid ball to play.  They almost seem happier when we punt a shite, aimless ball long and out for a throw-in, just because it went forward.  A short pass backwards to a Thistle player is always going to be a better option than shelling it forward to where Miller should be but often isn't, as it means (usually) we retain possession.  That and the fact that if we actually decided to, you know, move off the fucking ball, then we likely would be playing it forward more.

As for Saturday, I'm not really sure why we're surprised anymore.  Miller is turning more and more into what Kris Doolan did badly in his latter time with us.  Everywhere on the pitch other than where he needs to be.  He's a lot better when he does get the ball than Doolan was, but what's the point in having your most talented forward on the halfway line spraying a ball out wide when it means there's nothing and no-one to get the ball to if we actually do attack?  That and his constant "it's no my fault" act. A lot of the time it isn't, but between him constantly greeting, and the howls from the stands, it must be fucking miserable playing at Firhill for Thistle.

Williamson looked fucking terrified.  Looked uncomfortable on his left foot, on his right foot, just generally on his feet.  

Bannigan had a really poor game.  Constantly looks like the one trying to drive us on, but was in one of his moods where he thought he was Beckenbauer.  Gave the ball away a few times trying to do too much, probably down to the shitebags around him.

Didn't understand Kakay being brought off, unless he wasn't fully fit to do 90.  Looked probably the best option in a sea of shite, even though it's clear he's got very little technical ability.  But he runs.  Sad that that's an added extra for us.

Zanatta started out well, but it looks as though his one trick has already been found out.  He doesn't move that quickly, but seems adept at putting the ball in those little yard spaces where defenders can't get to it.  Only they are now, which makes him look like an absolute jobber.
