You do raise an interesting point in amongst your waffling, where are all of the Hughes supporters?
I'm not sure where to start on the rest of this, at what point did Hughes earn this respect you say he deserves? You bring up IHE as an example of an established poster on here showing respect, yet IHE himself openly has more personal digs at our previous managers psyche than anyone else on here, how is that showing unqestionable respect?
Why assume that people are not posting on this topic because they think it is beneath them? I'd say its safe to assume most people on here are firmly on the fence on this issue and thats only after our rousing win up in Dingwall, after that Dundee United game the pitchforks were out in force. You have totally misread the vibes coming from the support as a whole."The Board is NOT going to react in the same way that they think because the members of the Board are mature business persons and rational and reasonable people NOT usually likely to go into orbit with knee jerk reactions. And NOT young bucks feeling their oats and letting that feeling overcome their brains."
I guess you could say the the board demonstrated some rational thought in bringing in a guy on the cheap, who had been shunned by the rest of Scottish football after multiple failures.
Tell me SP.. in all this talk of yours of being fair, rational, respectful and downright gentlemanly when discussing the merits and potential of Hughes, at what stage do you sit down and look over the stats? There has been a swing of 17 points and 1 trophy between ourselves and Aberdeen since Hughes took over, we were clear in 2nd place with games and points to spare, where are we now?I don't think any of the people interviewed could have got it so badly wrong . Like I said before I take no pleasure in seeing thistle get tanked every week . The fact remains yogi will stick to his guns and work with the squad he has (his words) the worry is that I fear for the very survival of thistle in the top flight if he remains in charge .end of!I think Mr Cameron got it badly wrong and needs to act asap before its to late!! Even Craig Levein or the inexperienced Paul Telfer wouldn't have been as shocking as Hughes is turning into.
As for no new signings, WTF!!!
Next seasons starting 11 will be more or less same as this but the squad will be bare.
My patience has been waring thin ever since last Celtic game.
I really hope lack of season tickets sold for next season is an indication to board that all is not well!!
So much for "best chairman" in league!!Gonna bite! Craig Levein I believe didnt wish considered for the job and how on earth do you know that we would be any better off with the inexperienced Mr Telfer? Unless youve got a crystal ball.
If you want to support a team that wins all the time I suggest you start supporting Celtic.That was ******* uncalled for!!I don't believe what OCG said was uncalled for and maybe it's a bit of a reality shock for you.
In my opinion you're having a go at Kenny Cameron for no reason when he has no say what so ever in results on the pitch. If you ever listened to CaleyD on the CaleyThistle Podcast and he gave us an insight on the work Kenny Cameron does off the pitch for ICT.
Where has it been stated that there will be no new signings?
I know it's been disappointing to concede 11 goals in 2 games vs Celtic but I think you need to be a bit realistic here. We were playing against the best team in Scotland on their own turf and they are capable of doing it to many other teams. For what it is worth I was at Celtic Park last Sunday and I didn't think Celtic were good enough for six goal and I was very disappointed leaving CP watching ICT get humped, individual errors cost us and the fact we were missing David Raven, Richie Foran and Marley Watkins - we had 4 subs FFS, cuts us a bit of slack.
Yogi should/will be given the summer and then I think he should be judged. It is far too soon IMHO.So its not uncalled for telling me to go support Celtic just because I am annoyed at current form, this forum is seriously pissing me off.
Time for another break before I say something I regret.
Wonder who else will get told to support Celtic just for having a go at boss or will it just be the most hated person on here, me!!!I can understand that you're pissed off at the fact at losing 6-0, trust me witnessing it in the flesh wasn't a fecking laugh.
The reason that OCG said for you to go and support Celtic because you're moaning at every bad little aspect. The reason I got involved in the first place is because I felt that you were unnecessarily having a go at the chairman for results that he has no input in - only appointing the manager.
Trust me, I have been on the forum after games (constructively) criticising the tactics we had seen vs Motherwell at the start of the month. I was really unhappy after 5-0 defeat vs Dundee United.
The guy has only been in the job for 4 months. Give the man in his own words "Give it a right good go" and if he fails then fair enough at least he is given the chance but who knows what happens after the summer window and pre season this might be a lot different.
I know times are tough right now being an ICT fan but we have to power through it.So what if I moan, its a bloody forum, I can have an opinion and don't expect to be told to more or less **** off for having an opinion, its comments like her one which make me annoyed and tbh, I am getting sick of getting abuse every ******* time I post.
Have I ever told someone to go support some other team just for posting something that I disagree with? NO, I HAVEN'T so seeing that post made me feel unwelcome on this forum, posts like that are driving me away from this forum due to being "hated" or thats the way I see it because no-one has ever agreed with anything I post.
As a fan, I am entitled to call for a managers sacking just the same as you are allowed to back him, its not as if I am posting in a bad manner.
In fact, the only reason I swore in my post was to show that I was livid when I saw that post!!Mahonio, I respect that you are allowed to have an opinion as much as anybody else. What you have to realise is that OCG's remark about you being better suited following Celtic was in essence a 'tongue in cheek' comment.
From where I am concerned I feel myself nor OCG are not giving you verbal abuse. If you feel like we are being abusive by all means report us and let the mods deal with us. If you want to talk about verbal abuse, I found your comments towards Kenny Cameron to be abusive and frankly unnecessary.
I read the lengthy posts made by Renegade, DoofersDad, Kingsmills etc I to a certain degree share some aspects of concern with regarding tactics and results however where I differ from that is that I genuinely believe that with the pre season and a few additions to the squad we should hopefully come out the better for it. As the saying goes 'Rome wasn't built in a day'
