Reid Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Going by the wearethistle chat looks like our temporary board/tfe/3blackcats can’t be trusted to keep their mouths shut What’s happened? I don’t venture on to the borefest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 We're moving from Joma to O'Neills (mainly make GAA shirts) but depending on who you believe it's either been done for months, nearly done, confidential or not confidential. Great fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great fun. You forgot to mention that the news was posted by Javeajag. One of We are Thistle's Grade A Bellends and someone who has managed to obtain quite a few boardroom exclusives over the last year or so. Which is odd as he's made it plain he can't keep his trap shut. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.j Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 As to whether not it's worth getting into a hissy fit about this news getting leaked or not, all I'd say is that if O'Neill are expanding into football and the mainland UK market for the first time, I'd imagine they and the Club would have preferred a bigger marketing opportunity, than some arrogant tit on WAT sharing his, look at me I'm in the know, info. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banditjag Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Could agree more dave.j a complete bellend who contributes nothing of any interest and one the many reasons I don't venture there any more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Being in the know on anything to do with the club is shite. You're stuck between saying nothing to anyone which is no fun at all or being an arsehole and betraying the confidence of whoever told you and potentially either damaging the club or getting someone into bother. It's only going to get worse as we become fan owned too as there'll be enough people involved who can't keep their mouth shut. I've no idea why anyone would want to know we're signing Zak Rudden 2 or 3 days before everyone else finds out or who our kit supplier is.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have been verbally critical at games if his positioning and his distribution. It's hard as a fan without having played at this level, as one murder MacLeod used to say, to judge with any great position of authority. I do think he gives his full effort but pretty much most games his concentration let's him down at times. I get why you say he gets a slightly easier time cos he is deemed to be one of our own, but perhaps it's also cos he keeps trying and doesn't try to hide? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows how differently people view it. Id say hiding is exactly what he does. watch the amount of times he immediately gives the ball straight back to the person who just gave him it. Watch how many times he moves the ball on but then doesn't make himself available to receive the ball in a new area of the pitch. watch how little he breaks beyond the ball into an overlapping position. He's a bog standard Left Back and an accurate reflection of where we as a Club find ourselves. Sleep Walking into mediocrity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've arrived at mediocrity last season and have been getting worse ever since. We are the worst team in this league no arguement. Despite McCall's comments after Saturday, I suspect he knew that we were in a dogfight before he even came to us. I agree Penrice is poor but he's not alone. Can't see us staying up, go down, re group, come back in a better position? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave him an 18 month Contract. Says all you need to know. He'll be gone in 12 months. Nominal fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you've made your mind up and childish sarcasm seeks to be your preferred choice of engagement but... McCall sees penrice as adequate to see us through to the end of the season. Thinks there might be a player in there who, if he could get his finger out his arse could get a good move. A possible asset. As such he extends his contract by a further year. It gives Penrice one last chance to prove himself whilst buying time to bring in a better left back in the summer We then go into 20/21 with 2 left backs and Penrice having competition for his place for the first time in his career. It's an 18 month contract. So in an ideal world Penrice will be out of contract as we win the league. That says everything you need to know. McCall doesn't think penrice is good enough to play in the top flight. Most likely it comes December and Penrice has either lost his place got bored and wants a move or he's playing out his skin and someone comes in with an offer, with hopefully a player there at the club ready to step in. It might not be what every fan wanted. But from a business perspective I understand why McCall did it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitbafollower Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Going down would be very costly to the club with the wages this current squad are on surely the supporters don’t think it would pay to go down to re build uour promotion winning team showed the Thistle support what can be done with a team of enthusiastic players That was a decent footballing team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
