    ^^^^ Very much this. Thankfully we dragged Alloa down to our level to save us from another defeat, and will probably keep Bartley in a job a wee while longer. 

    I was wondering during the game what we actually do at training (apart from players picking up mysterious injuries), our passing is atrocious, our ball control is atrocious and we don't look fitter than any of the part timers in the division. Do we work on tactics, if so the players don't seem to be tuned in to what's being said. Must be difficult to work on tactics though if your starting line-up isn't settled from week to week. I also think there's a few players need to have a good look at themselves and ask if a life as a professional footballer is a realistic ambition, on some of today's showings they should be looking for better job security. 

     

    Couldn’t agree more. The fact these so called footballers are full time professionals is laughable

    I don't regard myself as an oversensitive person and don't mind a bit of humour but I think these comments are disrespectful to say the least.  To label people who may have health conditions as ' pathetic ' is unacceptable.  Would you rather  someone had a Heart Attack - just to demonstrate some passion to you ?

    There is nothing worse than seeing that a game and the sadness it brings.

    I am not able to go as often as I used to - certainly not in the colder winter weather - but when I do I have to behave differently than I used to between 1968 and 2013.  It was an automatic reaction to jump out of one's seat when we scored but I have to stop myself doing that now.  I do manage a light handclap but not for too long !

    I think you were trying to indicate that the football is for everyone including youngsters but in doing so have turned it on its head to marginalise the ' old and infirm' .

    I have always said and believed that the Terracing is the best and proper place for singing and creating an atmosphere.

    Apologies if you’ve misunderstood me. On reflection my joke was in bad taste. I was definitely not making any comment on anyone with health conditions. I was very angry and upset at how the kids were treated. Football is for everyone of all ages and stages in their life. In fact I’m disabled myself and require a wheelchair at times and have been for many years and can’t attend every game especially in winter. So I emphasise.

    That's where I used to sit and have moved. Pathetic area of the ground tbh. Even the rare time we scored they wouldn't even bother to get out their seats to celebrate. 

    Indeed probably that’s why the the St.Johns Ambulance folk sit there as well in case they have to check some of them are still breathing!

    Least said about the game the better. Most gutless bunch of footballers I’ve ever seen. 
    Thought I’d seen everything. Group of primary school kids tried to make an atmosphere at the back of the east stand near the away fans. Because some other Queens fans complained they got hunted by the stewards. Absolute madness drive away the next generation. And as for the card board cut out fans who want total silence whilst you watch football, maybe they should move and let the kids enjoy themselves. Imagine getting moved for singing at a football match!
