TopSix, Stephen's no longer do the catering at East End. No more steak bridies.

Ryan Christie doesn't really look like Charlie Christie, it's disappointing. Having said that, Charlie Christie looks exactly the same as he did when he was playing so that's a consolation.

Shocking stuff from Gary Warren. He should've rolled around on the floor hodling his face, then jumped up and started waving an imaginary card at the ref.

New Offense Coach Shearer shaping up the Thistles for game day 14 with Paisley Saints. LET'S GOOOOOO THISTLES!

What do you expect Richie to say? "Booooooooooooooo! Hughes Out!"

Richie Foran

He's a nice guy it seems. Hopefully he does OK. I can't see it though.

Chris - it's from 6 ­1/2 years ago! It may not have been hindsight, but it is now! Yes, it's thoughts of a Falkirk fan from the time Hughes was their manager.

Here's a post from P&B from a Falkirk fan about Hughes. This was made at the time he was manager, it isn't hindsight.

Hopefully we do OK for the rst of the season, he leaves in June and Richie takes over. That's the best case scenario.

I'll give him a chance but if we lose to St MIrren he should be sacked.

Derek Riordan is pish now. He can't get a gig in the lower leagues. If Hughes tries to sign him we should sack him.

Absolutely awful appointment. He did OK at Falkirk but succeeded with a bigger budget than his First Division rivals and he left them with a squad of raw kids and past-it old pros. Then at Hibs he had a good start, mainly due to signing Anthony Stokes, but followed that up with a horror run towards the end. If Yogi's last 38 games were taken as a full season then they'd probably have been relegated (they got 33 points). Since then it's been Livingston and Hartlepool, doing nothing. He's one of these managers who "tries to play football the right way" which is code for playing tippy-tappy garbage with no cutting edge, passing the ball back and forth in your own centre circle then either losing possession or knocking it long. He's from the Alex Smith school of Scottish football management, no doubt we'll hear that SMith singing his praises in the press soon enough. I can also see him making unnecessary changes to our team with the justification that he "has confidence in his own methods" and wants to "put his own stamp on things". This is one of the things you get with an 'experienced' manager - managers who have failed yet have the arrogance to persist with the methods that have seen them fail. We didn't/don't need an experienced manager, we are the perfect job for a young new fresh manager. As it is we've joined the Scottish football merry-go-round of pish managers. Terrible, terrible move from the board.

Clyde would be good. How do you get to Stranraer?

With these comments Im assuming you're a David Beckham lookalike !!! To be fair when I see Chris I do think 'Is that Gerard Butler straight from the set of 300?' I probably shouldn't wear a toga and sandals and carry a sword.

That beard he had made him look like a tramp. Hartley also looks a bit like someone who has a cardboard sign saying "HOMLESS AND HUNGARY EX-SOLJER PLEASE GIVE MONEY FOR DRUGS CUP OF TEA" in his back pocket.

Everyone hated Paul Hartley, he was one of those players. He changed through his career, starting as a winger, moving inside to be an attacking midfielder at Hearts and then playing deeper. Perhaps I'm reaching a bit but that bodes well for him as a coach I think - he's obviously shown that he can learn new skills, is good positionally and can develop.

So you are saying that Paul Hartley is your new girlfriend? Interesting.

I think CaleyDawson was ripping the pash. I forgot Foran was suspended --------------------------Esson----------------------- --Shinnie----Meekings----Warren----Tremarco--- --------------Draper---------Polworth---------------- ------Watkins---------Ross----------Doran---------- ---------------------McKay----------------------------- Are there highlights on Saturday night?

I don't think we need a big personality to take the team forward. Our team is good as it is, we are in our best ever position, we have leaders all over the pitch (Warren, Shinnie, Foran, Draper). It's not as though a manager is taking over a down on it's luck group who need gee'd up.

No-one in the media or the bookies has any idea. I doubt many of the newspaper or BBC Scotland hacks have any real contacts in our boardroom, they just appear to have listed out of work names, a couple of ex-ICT players and up and comers.

The idea behind stealing flags comes from the Ultra culture in European football - an Ultras group were supposed to disband if someone else nicked their flag. The idea being that you would storm their end and beat them in a fight until you could swipe their flag. I'm guessing that this didn't happen in this case

Don't worry, Kel will do perfectly well. If nothing else his substitution numbers should be ok after all that maths help I gave him when he sat next to me in school. Taught him all he knows. How old do you feel having an SPL manager who was in the same year at school as you?
