The Queen of the South thread
Monkey Tennis replied to qos_75's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
I honestly can't see Bartley resigning at any point. Remember - none of it is his fault. If he was going to fall on his sword, he's had ample opportunity before now. To be honest, I don't really blame him for that bit. He's clutching a contract with another year on it after this season. He needs to be sacked. -

I thought you'd watched the Bartley interviews? -

Yes, it's this idea that if he dreams up given scenarios and tells individuals how to behave in them, then the match will unfold along his desired lines. Obviously, there's a place for that type of targeted coaching, but to listen to Bartley talk, it sounds as if that's pretty much all his management involves, coupled with risible recruitment of course. He really is wildly out of his depth. I sometimes wonder if his apparent conviction and confidence masks an insecurity about his abilities. I'm not convinced of it though. -

At the time, I didn't think the McIvor miss was that glaring. In fact I couldn't even recall the incident at first when people were mentioning it on here. I just thought it was too high for him and he couldn't quite get above it. Are people suggesting it was a comfortable header and he just popped it up and over? -

I disagree. Either side might have been ahead at half-time. Neither was. All totally immaterial of course. Looking at it on telly, it's impossible to tell about the contact for the penalty. I do suspect that McKechnie's reaction is telling though. Contrary to what I thought at the time,the equaliser now looks onside to me. A clever pass and a well timed run which exploited the ludicrous way we'd decided to set up. -

He already is. On Sportsound the other week, he said his football weekend had been good because Arsenal beat Liverpool. Meanwhile, we'd lost another home game. -

I'm not defending Bartley for a moment here. The interview consists largely of typically self serving nonsense. He's possibly the worst manager we've ever had and it's staggering that he's still in the job. However, the match was much more even until goals arrived, than you're suggesting above. We missed good chances of our own in the first half. Obviously, the trouble we'd been inviting all evening duly arrived in the last half hour, but when we took the lead, it wasn't especially against the run of play. -

Agreed. He's articulate in that he's comfortable with language. However, he talks rubbish. -
What do you mean by 'excluding them'? Exclusions already happen. Your proposal doesn't really represent that much of a breakthrough I'm afraid.

Yip, it's looked like an extra point for us on the league table up to now, but it really doesn't anymore. If Annan make up the three points on us, it's likely that doing so will also virtually close up the goal difference gap too. We're in very serious need of some wins now. -

Thought we did ok for much of it. The high line was daft though and it was inevitable that it would cost us. As for the penalty, I thought at the time that it looked like a dive and was expecting a bit of outrage. There was none at all though -instead McKechnie accepted it and looked like he knew he'd made a mistake. I'd also like to see the equaliser again. He seemed offside then, but one was given against Falkirk on the other side a bit later after a lovely move , that looked comfortably onside. Anyway, the much stronger side won comfortably. That's all. -

He's got me fooled too, I must admit. -

Even a point sends us up to 6th. We're coasting here. -

Yip, saw that. I'd say Montrose have a better chance of extending that gap today than we do. -
Don't spoil it. I've been telling everyone I'll have all the answers to the central dilemma of their professional lives next week, thanks to a Hamilton fan on the internet. You're not trying to tell me he's a clueless imbecile are you?

Great thanks. How long should the exclusions last? What should happen when that time period has elapsed?
-
Excellent idea. Someone should tell them on Monday.

Shame on Aberdeen, Hearts & Hibs

I'd say the third goal was the pick of them.

Fair play to the good people of Stonehaven, for resisting having this spiteful blight from the central belt visited upon them. -
I'd say the most notable exception right now is yet closer to home for Skyline Drifter.
