I dread to think where we'd be without his goals given how woeful our defence has been since day one and our midfield of late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, and i suppose him missing out today means it's better to put him in the "playing while not fully fit" bracket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have Muirhead taking pens, if he on the pitch that's crazy the guys' record for putting them away is unreal He literally missed the last one we had. Didn't see a minute of today but was not at all surprised to see the score. I didn't think about 3 weeks ago there would even be a position where McCall's job could be in danger this season but while I don't think he'll go now, the next month might be his last in charge, the Kelty game already had a feel of at least one of Cardle /O Ware / Higginbotham coming back to haunt us before the last 2 results, now it has the air of a coup de grace. McCall has done well recruitment wise (excluding loans), even the guys that haven't worked out like Smith and Mullen had decent records and reputations at this level, but I feel like we had these horrible runs in his first spell as well in addition to the covid shortened season where we just couldn't get out of a tailspin. I'm also fairly sure we were the worst team in the league over the last quarter of last season and only the end of season gave us a chance to reset. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Did we not have a record run of 8 draws under McCall in his first spell? Can't remember if that included cup ties though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) With Cooper going to Rangers in the summer and now McGinlay linked with Fulham, Crystal Palace and West Ham it seems Thistle Weir either develops players too good for us to keep before they manage to play any decent number of games for the club or too shite to make the grade. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/aiden-mcginlay-attracts-fulham-transfer-28372745 Edited November 1, 2022 by Pie Of The Month 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Never heard of him and no idea of his position, but f**k it - play this McGinley boy against Dundee. Unless it’s replacing McMillan, he’s unlikely to be a significant downgrade on recent performances anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I also see we're hosting a Scotland under 19 game. So there's no groundsharing agreement but we're letting Rangers youths play their European games, hosting Scotland youth games and possibly let visiting national teams train ahead of Scotland games. Surprised we didn't go ahead and let the Denver Broncos use it for practice when the NFL was in the UK. 50 minutes ago, oneteaminglasgow said: Never heard of him and no idea of his position, but f**k it - play this McGinley boy against Dundee.

I know you're joking but I think there's rules now about a minimum age a player can be to play in an spfl match and the he'll be too young, same as Cooper was last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thistle Archive Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 CONFIRMED: 148 unbroken seasons of Partick Thistle FC! Our young club fell off the radar in 1876-77 but - at long, long last - we've found not one, but TWO first-team matches, both in the dying embers of that second season. The two games - away to Partick Ramblers & Smithfield - are now databased and the match hubs accessible via the 1876-77 page → Since the 'Official History' book in excess of 200 games have been found (many in competitions) but our latest two finds are the most precious of all. Not only do they give us an unbroken history, our first-known players & scorers are now assigned as: John Inglis → Jack Beattie → T. Brown → Enjoy your history Jags fans, and spread the word! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
