  1. Typical Queens vs Falkirk thread with everyone posting a load of crop.
  2. How I imagine the board meetings unfold at Palmerston. Absolutely astounding and contemptible that they are sitting on their hands and doing nothing about the current state the club is in. Very clear they stopped giving a shit a long time ago. The fans deserve so much better.
  3. That announcement is as good as a lottery win for Queens fans, don’t get greedy.
  4. What about “Cowp Nou” considering the state of the place?
  5. Number 9 might be worth a look, he stuck the penalty away well.
  6. Or a third option, which is that they have no plan at all.
  7. I’d settle for 1-0 Alloa. Take the point and move on.
  8. Like everyone else I was delighted yesterday proved to be such a success, with Dobbie getting the turnout he deserved from both players and fans alike. As others have said the football at these type of affairs tends to be of little importance, but I think the choice of opposition meant there was interest in both sides for the supporters which may not have been the case if the opponents had been for example a "Rangers XI". Based on the reaction in the ground Scott Brown was obviously the star attraction in the away side, and judging by Dobbie's interview was a key player in getting other people involved, but it was also great to see 58 year old Colin Hendry strutting his stuff and putting many of the younger players to shame with his fitness! While it was nice to see so many ex-Queens players again, it only served as a reminder of how far the club has fallen, and how lacking in character and leadership it has been for quite some time. Guys like Chris Higgins, who haven't even been away from the club all that long, feel like a different breed to the recent crop of charlatans. Fair play to Alan Martin for playing, he wasn't exactly well loved during his spell with the club but got a good reception from the Portland Drive end. I actually thought he looked in better physical condition than at any point during his playing career with Queens. He also contributed to the occasion and gave the crowd some rare reasons to get excited by pulling off a couple of great saves, and skinning two of the Scotland team. I wasn't going to comment on the stadium announcer as it was a light-hearted testimonial match and not that important in any sort of real life context. But as others have brought it up I don't feel as petty in doing so. It is just another thing to add to the ever increasing list of things that show the club up as utterly tinpot. A professional football club in name only.
  9. Yeah I don't think it's likely to happen for the reasons you give. It would be a massive dent to Bartley's considerable ego so more likely to cause more issues than it would resolve. It was just a left-field suggestion that would avoid the club having to fork out on a costly sacking, and perhaps help salvage Bartley's reputation and career, which is now in the gutter. Someone earlier tried to equate football management to a normal workplace, which is probably folly, but in most jobs if someone is struggling with their workload the answer is to offer assistance not immediately dispose of the person.
  10. Obviously longer term the club needs cleared out and rebuilt from top to bottom, but would a short-term fix be to appoint a “wise old head” to assist Bartley, fill in the obvious gaps in his skillset, and mend the rifts in the camp? Of course the clear weakness in this plan is a list of obvious candidates, and the fact the damage is possibly already done now. Maybe this was an idea for a month or so back. It’s a shame that for probably the first time in their tenure the board have made an ambitious appointment, that actually pointed to a bit of forward thinking and longer-term planning, and it’s proven to be a disaster. Lots of people still seem to think Bartley has something about him. If the situation could be saved it would be better for everyone, than going back to the endless, depressing cycle of ripping it up and starting again every year.
  11. The greatest full back in the history of the game being torn a new one by “Anthony Gordon”.
  12. I think a team will take a punt on Bartley far earlier than they would on a Queens manager in League 1 in normal circumstances. He has already built up a reputation as a promising up and coming manager through his media work, where he stands out as an ex-player who can string a couple of sentences together. It will be this as much as anything that will prompt a team to take a chance, with what he does for Queens a secondary consideration (assuming he doesn’t suddenly become a complete disaster of a manager). I’ll be very surprised if he isn’t poached before the turn of the year.
