Surely a wind up?

Appears to be true.

 

Almost unbelievable though.

I listened to Ian McCall being interviewed post match on BBC Radio Scotland.

 

I thought he trod a fine line between accepting a hard to accept defeat and pride in his players' performances. Thistle sacking him and his two Coaches in the immediate wake of the Ibrox match will leave most interested parties feeling non-plussed. 

 

 Partick Thistle are trying too hard to placate a stereo typical image :

 

He's white, he's blue

He shat in Cinderella's/Dorothy's shoe

Ian McCall, Ian McCall.

That was quite the match!   First half is best forgotten.  We were completely disjointed and no-one in midfield and upfront seemed to know what they were doing.  It was good to see Hagi finding so much space in and around their box but it was correct to replace him at half time. The manager has held his hand up and admitted he made too many changes today.  Our ball players had absolutely no protection from a dreadful referee.  Cantwell, Tillman and later Kent were kicked off the park and were barely awarded a single foul.  The half time changes made all the difference and we dominated most of the second half.  We were just glad to escape with a victory.

 

Edit.  Forgot to mention how bad Kamara and Tav were.  We can't continue with 2 passengers in our team.

Ridiculous penalty kick.

For a while there under GvB I was coming ambivalent whether Ryan Kent stayed or not but since Mick Beale arrived Kent has been transformed and I'm back to thinking we need to do everything we can to get his signature on a new contract.

We are simply a poorer team without Kent.

And an in-form Morelos too though some may disagree. He gets in defenders faces.

If we can [....] get Kent resigned and have a good window, we'll be fine.

I completely agree with this. 

 

His time is done.
