Certainly making me feel a bit better at our result last week, but I'm still fuming at us losing to Morton a couple of weeks ago.
That said, taking great pleasure in everyone associated with Greenock Morton FC having an absolutely miserable night.

Absolutely fucking pathetic from each and every player in a Queen's Park jersey.
Truly fucking fear for us now.

Ha ha serious concussion shut it ya tube.
Sorry I thought it was obvious that I was joking. Seems more than one of you need that actually spelled out for you.
Can't make fun of Calum Ferrie, can't think he's a good goalkeeper. What can we do with him...

We were pish today, worst performance under Davidson by a distance. One good chance with McLeish poking that 1v1 wide and aside from that we did nothing upfront.
Got to hope Thomas won't be out multiple weeks and that Thomsons injury isn't serious after going off at half time today. I can only assume that Ferries attempt at saving the free-kick was a direct result of the serious concussion suffered in the first half, that also had him unable to decide if scrapping or selling the injury was the right decision so he did neither convincingly.

Three tragic games of football this season, with a grand total of one goal scored in those fixtures, have meant we continue our horrific run of results over Morton since coming back into the Championship.
But surely this week is our time?
Since Dougie Imrie got his double MOTM his side have lost five in a row, and we are unbeaten in our last five and continuing to bounce back from our Dutch hangover in superb fashion under Davidson. Despite Morton having that long unbeaten run, a win for QP would see us leapfrog them in the table, which would be quite incredible.
Yet to hear how serious the injuries to Longridge and Thomas are, who both came off early vs Ayr last week. Fingers crossed they are both good to go this Saturday, as I would have the same XI that started last week as first choice again. I hear Charlie Fox appeared for the B team in a closed door friendly yesterday, so we may see him on the bench for the first time in months.

Ah! Falling back on the " we were only a wee amateur club sponging cash from the rest of football for the use of that dump called Hampden".
Now you have won the lottery, you think you are a real football club. Lol
And you haven't been in the top flight since 1958! A couple of years before the Premiership.
Imagine getting yourself this worked up over absolutely nothing on a Monday morning.

At least we know what the top flight feels like. Do you?
Ooh, sick burn. You got us there. Still amateur this time five years ago but now getting abuse of never being in the Premier League. Love to see it.

As for the first goal- a fan video from more or less level suggests that it was just about onside
I am about as anti-VAR as they come, but I wonder if we were to get the magic lines out here would that actually be onside. But what's done is done, and primarily from Saturday biggest concern was a return of schoolboy defending, so maybe if Robson wasn't the last man marking two of them on his own at the back post then we wouldn't need to have this discussion.

Not sure how I feel about this one. Even in our brutal first half of the season, we took a point in October in a pretty even game, and could/should have had another but for a brutal late late winner by Todorov in December. We've improved massively under Davidson, our squad is stronger and we're on the back of a big win although I do wonder how much we can actually read into it given the opposition.
Saying that, Airdrie also had a big win of their own on Tuesday and have done much better than I expected them to this season. Not scoring an awful lot, but very solid at the back. We also haven't beat Airdrie in 90 minutes in the last 16 meetings stretching back to 2017...
If Wilson and Sheridan are fit, we line up the exact same as we did vs Arbroath except I'd swap McPherson for Longridge at RWB. Sheridan won't be beating every defence for pace like he did to Arbroath each week, but he showed more than enough in the rest of his game to make a difference for us going forward.
I'd probably take a point, but I think it'll be a slim one goal victory for the Southsides finest.

I had a slight reservation before the game that this could have been a potential banana skin, like it was for us almost exactly a year ago, but those fears only lasted four minutes.
Rarely do I recall watching Queen's Park be so dominant in a game of football, albeit against an opponent who is so utterly tragic in every department. Sheridan was fantastic upfront, a genuine breath of fresh air to have an actual strike partner for Paton, especially one whose strengths bring out the best in Paton as well as others around him. Wilson was also brilliant in defence and won every single header. A brief concern when Charlie Reilly, the only Arbroath player who showed up to play tonight, ran around him at the end of the first half, and I hope his half time substitution was nothing more than resting him in a game that was already over.
Some of our goals were comical from an Arbroath point of view, but that was a joy to watch QP finally put a team to the sword this season.
Arbroath look doomed.

Been a good few brutal refereeing decisions in the Championship recently, and that's another one to add to the list.
Still that's part of the fun of football at this level, and VAR will never be at this level so I don't even need to start saying how much worse it is than the occasional bad offside call.
Edit: I reserve the right to come back at full time and say something completely different to this opinion should Thistle fail to win this game.

I'm sensing a lot of ludicrous hyperventilating about that non-descript match, and next to none of it is coming from Morton fans.
Perhaps you should calm down and review that mess of a post.
Where did I hyperventilate in my previous post?
Was it when I said Queen's Park were rubbish today? Or when I said our goalkeeper, who is being underrated by away fans, earned us a point? Or when I said that both teams resorted to looking at the ref for decisions he didn't want to make?
Please be specific.

Quite incredible reading Morton fans slating Calum Ferries performance today. One particular fucking idiot holding a performance from over a year ago over him. Your own lord and saviour Dougie Imrie praising him in his post match interview, maybe when you calm down and watch the highlights you'll realise how good he is. PFA Championship keeper of the year last season, voted for by the other players in the league. They know better than anyone on this forum, myself included.
We were absolutely dire today so that's a good point for us. Very poor going forward and kind of solid at the back, managing one way or another to keep Morton out.
It wasn't pretty at all, and both teams had examples of over the top tackling, embarrassingly trying to win fouls and general arsehole behaviour, but two months ago we'd have been scudded on a day like today. The difference that Davidson, his recruits and his mentality has made cannot be understated.

About time this thread descended into farce.

I didn’t realise QP had quite so many roasters…
A couple sensitive souls on both sides so far. Hopefully the proper abuse starts soon and scares them off.
Morton have been a thorn in our side since we came up to the Championship, and given our recent turnaround I should be full of optimism going into this Saturday but I can't say I am. Morton are flying right now and this will be a real test for Callum Davidson and how far we've come in the last month.
Scott has impressed at LB so I'd see him start again. I'd love to have Thomson back in midfield as I reckon him beside Welsh & Turner would be our strongest lineup, but Danny Wilson didn't play in the reserves game yesterday so I don't see him being ready yet.
It would be fantastic to get our first win over Imrie & Co this week, but given where we've came from I'd take a point against the leagues form team and we stay away from the bottom of the table. I don't care how close 4th place may look, our priority this season is survival.

Thanks very much to @Dave for doing the research, that I couldn't be bothered to do, to answer the above question on the latest episode of the Spiders Talk Podcast.
I'm not going to tell you what he discovered, so you'll have to listen to the podcast yourselves to find out
I was hoping you were tagging me to tell me I was wrong
an incredibly vague answer for Scotland but hopefully an interesting answer for the rest of the world, was not a name or story I was previously familiar with.

Never thought I'd see good patter in a thread containing Caley Thistle fans.
The defeat on Saturday brought me back down to earth with a fair thud following our own good win over Raith. I'm going to wait to see how the last couple days of the transfer window play out before making any prediction, but we're getting very close to declaring every game "must win".

I genuinely do not have the words to describe how terrible a decision that is from the referee to give that free kick. Might be the worst I've ever seen. That'll be a good watch back on the highlights.

I have a feeling that most of the bad language that Dooflick hears is probably coming from me standing up the back of section P2.
However from an organisational point of view it's ridiculous to have both sets of fans in section P. Forcing home and away fans to go through separate turnstiles (after diligently waiting for the extra special G4S welcome that you don't even get at Scotland games) into an open concourse with shared facilities, when there is so much space at Hampden to ease that burden, is utterly pointless.
Given that Ayr have just announced a new manager and will likely see an increase in what would already be a decent travelling support, hopefully whoever at the club is in charge of these decisions makes the correct one.

On 12/01/2024 at 09:16, Bring Your Own Socks said:The Treasurer asked that the detail of the meeting was confidential and expressly mentioned Pie and Bovril to not be used. That’s right and fair, especially as we’ve seen recently how the printed media can distort a story and the gossip that flows from people reading what they want to see. So here’s a synopsis of the key points, without detail.
This comment has annoyed me for nearly a week now, and let me just say despite our (many
) disagreements in the past this is absolutely no dig at you and I appreciate you passing on the information that you did.
Compare and contrast the two following AGM updates, from Queen's Park and then this post this evening from Partick Thistle. Yes ok, one of these clubs is now fan owned and one is not, but honestly that shouldn't make a difference. Why can a proper update not be given to all Queen's Park fans to ensure everyone knows what has happened, what is happening and what is going to happen in the immediate to near future? That's exactly what the PTFC update gives their fans, yet the vast majority of QP fans are left in the dark as to what the plans are for our club.
The club wouldn't have to worry about "print media distorting stories" if they actually just came out and laid all the facts out to everyone. It is the cloud of secrecy that they are so desperate to protect that encourages this exact behaviour from the press. I hope that the changes to the committee mean things will be better in the future, but right now it is still not good enough.

Are the ICT fans doing that howling English patter at the United goal kick there?
I was about to start slating United until I heard that. Mon and get these Highland freaks pumped.

But the success Doig, Ferguson, Hickey and Gauld have had isn't relevant here. Ferguson had played 130+ games in the top flight for Aberdeen, Doig had played 60+ for Hibs, Gauld had played 40 odd for United and even Hickey had had a season at Hearts.
The statement I was answering was "no young Scottish players have done well playing abroad". I wasn't attempting to compare McKenna to any of those players.
If I was wanting to draw comparisons I could have said that Josh Doig only played a handful of games for a Glasgow team wearing black and white, but it set him up pretty well for the future...

Disappointed by the McKenna news. There isn't a single Scottish player not named Billy Gilmour I can think of who left Scotland at a young age and had a good career.
There's nothing that we can do though as, to a 17 year old the money offered by Man U will be life changing.
Billy Gilmour had his struggles in England before finally breaking through at Brighton. There's a well publicised trio of young Scots (one now back in England) who went to Italy and did so well Serie A teams now actively scout Scottish football. And, while I don't wish to get into any kind of Scotland squad debates, Ryan Gauld has had an objectively good career playing around the world and earning megabucks in the MLS. All about the player, and there is nothing to suggest McKenna wouldn't work hard and take the opportunity he is being presented with.
This exact scenario is what we were told to turn professional for. We can't then bring through a player attracting immense interest from one of the biggest clubs on the planet and go "nah, stay here to train at Lochinch and sit on the bench in Kirkcaldy and Ayr".

Here for the tears and snotters at Calum Ferrie being voted the best goalkeeper in the division by his peers for the second year in a row.
Just because he didn't impress on a tattie field in Greenock this season takes nothing away from the incredible saves he's been making for 7 months. And given how shite we've been at defending, there have been plenty of them.
