    Thistle only have a legitimate complaint if it's in the rules that each team should have the same number of old firm home games. I don't know if it is, or it's just worked out that way each season.

    They have a legitimate complaint because they are being put at a disadvantage.  The fact that that is due to the rules being unreasonable hardly disqualifies the complaint.

  2. They have a legitimate complaint as they are

    I totally agree with the majority of posters here.

     

    Most of them are talking shite...PT have a legitimate complaint.

    But the actual League Split is Bullshit.

    The League Title should be decided on a meritocracy, you play all off your opponents the same number of times home and away.

    Exactly.

    Cause were not a bunch of nationalist bigots, but if you just mean football then that's fair enough I suppose

    Of course I meant football, that's why I said it.   BTW...Bears always hated the Auld Enemy when it came to football.  I love the way the younger Bears who have surrendered their support of their country make out like it's the norm for Bears to suck up to the English.

    That is correct, but different.

    Let's say Forrester and O'Halloran are injured. And we want to play Miller and Waghorn at the same time, I don't think one of them should be put on the wings. We should be going 2 up front. If we have the players then fine. But if the players aren't suited to the available positions then change the formation. I've never seen a club stick so rigidly to one single formation the whole season. Been forced to put McKay at CM and Waghorn on the wings and that just doesn't work. We haven't changed from 4-3-3 once the whole season not even during a game after subs. If we put 2 strikers on the pitch we should be 2 up front. 

    Also you say we should sign players for the formation, however, we play one DM and we just signed 3 of them plus Halliday. Windass by all accounts seems to be best played playing off the striker, a position we don't have. 

    Players should be able to play in various positions, it's not rocket surgery.

    That Hibs side needed putting in it's place, but we literally handed them a win at Easter Road a few days after the semi-final.

    A lot of people were saying that was unimportant but I thought at the time we needed to put them beat them.   

    For me Warburton has the modern outlook towards the game that the club badly needed.  What has happened is what I was hoping Le Guen could get going, but Captain Ned, Six Fingers and Co put paid to that experiment.  Hopefully a lot of what he has put in place will stand us in good stead even when he has moved on.  

    My worry is that the way he sets up the team, and the way we approach the game, has been found out some what.  It's not a problem with that particular system, but if there's no variety, any tactic can be countered.  He'll have better players next season of course.

    Because he signed for us I take more notice of him and listen to this stuff whereas before I would have dismissed him as an idiot without bothering to tune in.

    I'm really impressed with him so far. Comes across as a calm, in intelligent and confident bloke. Maybe experience has mellowed him or maybe he has always been this way but just attracted bad press. Either way he's got me buzzing in anticipation of watching him play for us.  He's already shown up Collymore to be a right dickhead. One down. He'll come across plenty dickheads in Scottish football to sort out and I expect him to dispatch them as easily as he did Collymore.   

    Despite the mad things he's done he's always been a an intelligent guy.

    Since it has UEFA clearance I wonder if this could be an early dip into the waters of looking to arrange more cross-borders competitions and an additional source of TV revenue.    A set of mini-league pan European league cup equivalent competition might be even more interesting.   A model of a bundle of countries each forming a mini-league cup league - play once but with guarantee of x amount of home games - winner of league is drawn against winner of another league but with home and away fixture and so on leading to a European league cup final.    Even more interesting if it was confined to U20 squads with a cap on over age players.    Just a thought.

    They have already set a precedent with The Royal League, a competition between Scandinavian countries that was held a few times. That was cancelled for financial reasons but UEFA didn't object.
