Poet of the Macabre Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I have no real interest in the result of this match but I'd like to state my backing of the motion that David Mundell is an odious scumbag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan mosniack Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'll second that motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_paulo Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Can't wait to see how Gary sets out our multitude of options this weekend, after our swashbuckling cup win. Harkins back in, Fitzpatrick benched, 1-1 draw due to a McGinty howler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. One match ban I think. Pity, I actually think he's quite useful in front of the back line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Correct. One match ban I think. Pity, I actually think he's quite useful in front of the back line. As long as training goes well this week, I’m sure we’ll be fine without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 If Storey is back in ahead of Cardle or Fitzpatrick then just relegate us now and save me the hassle of caring for the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 He's given away numerous penalties this season. I can't think of any open play howlers he's responsible for, but he loves a foul in dangerous areas. He's less of a Danny Devine type of bad defender with howlers all over the shop, and more just a general liability that doesn't do very much (or anything?) particularly well.

Adrian Madaschi Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 You would think with his height he would at least chip in with a few goals at set pieces, but he's not very good at that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many were given away as a result of making last-ditch tackles having been left exposed by his teammates. I'm asking this because I don't think he's as bad as people make out and is merely the latest in a long line of Firhill scapegoats. The abuse he copped after the pre-Christmas defeat in Dumfries was ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking this because I don't think he's as bad as people make out and is merely the latest in a long line of Firhill scapegoats. The abuse he copped after the pre-Christmas defeat in Dumfries was ridiculous. Off the top of my head he gave away the one at Ayr on opening day, another against County in December, and then at United a couple of weeks back. From what I remember, none of them involved him being sold short by anyone. The Tannadice one in particular was really bad - a simple cross in and he completely flattens Nesbitt as he controls the ball. There have definitely been more penalties conceded this season, no idea if they were him or not, but at least three in half a season is a pretty poor start. Ntambwe making an arse of things at Caley is the only one I can definitely remember not being him. I wasn't at Dumfries, so no idea what happened there, but I do think he's as bad as being made out. He's huge but seems to have no presence in the air at either end, has no idea how to deal with players running at him, and as before, concedes stupid fouls regularly. It's not always penalties, such as against Falkirk the other week, where he gave away a completely unnecessary free kick 25 yards out, which was thankfully ballooned over. No doubt his supporting cast hasn't been great this season; he lost O'Ware who would have started next to him, Elliott has maintained his abysmal form from last season, and Penrice seems to have regressed from the first few weeks. But I still think he's a big clown and should be replaced asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's no different most recent Thistle defenders you could name in that respect, barring Lindsay and maybe Balatoni? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VladimirMooc Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I’ve seen some guff posted on here before, but trying to make a case for Sean McGinty continuing to be employed as an actual footballer has to be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
