Anyway, how about Scott Brown? Perhaps he could get his boots back on too.

Rumour has it he offered to go last week, but it was rejected.

Sooty and Sweep would be seriously considered for the role if they wanted to apply.

Well yes. Given the buck stops with them I would say that is fair. Or do you think they should be absolved from any blame? Do you think they are doing a good job and are you happy with how we have been doing over the past five or six years?

We can sack him all we like. I have no faith we will hire anyone that can turn the tide. Our managerial recruitment record should be scrutinised more, because it is fucking horrendous. Yet it will be the same people doing the hiring.

Hopefully, there is enough room in there for the board too.

Wales are pish. For a team needing the win they created very little. They never looked like scoring (themselves) and going on that performance, I can’t see them getting through the play offs. I wouldn't mind them qualifying, if it also meant we draw them. Armenia were not much better. A lot of balls fell to them in relatively good positions. Each time the player looked like he was chipping a golf ball out of the bunker. Absolutely pitiful.

Is he 92? Time to look for a bungalow.

The full back and keeper defended the long throw, a little less well than my recycling bins would have done.

We were far from brilliant, but their shithousery was straight from the amateur league. The referee bought most of it though. So it does feel good getting the draw so late. The worst of it is, they were causing us problems when they went for it. After each goal they scored, they sat back and played for time. More fool them, as they could probably have beat us comfortably if they continued to attack. Get it up them.

That should be a red.

Not being able to complete fairly straightforward forward passes is a constant niggle. There has been plenty examples of that tonight.

Did any get the ‘jog on’ email from UEFA or was it just the folk that were successful?

I am sure I read that these don’t refer to the pot seeds. So you could be getting a pot 1 v pot 2 seed.

I was thinking of getting my Herr Flick uniform looked out.

Hee haw for us too. Never mind, I will see if there is any joy in the resale process next year. If not, it will be the fan zone.

I would also say as Queesn fans we are either far too nice, or apathetic. If this had been the likes of Falkirk, Morton or Dunfermline fans, they would be hounding their board every waking hour. We just have a wee moan about it on here and with our mates. I include myself in this too.

That is a good post too. Hewitson must know he isn’t universally loved in the local business and wider community in general. Yet by holding on to his position he is harming the club he is ‘supposed’ to love.

That is it. From the outside looking in, there seems no rational reason why they want to remain in control of the club. They are not spending more than the bare minimum on the upkeep of the ground. Their track record in hiring a manager is worse than my record on the coupon. I don’t bother putting one on anymore, because I know I am not very good at it. Similarly, I would suggest they consider selling their shares and resigning their positions on the board too

We can do this dance again the next three or four seasons. Hire and fire, hire and fire. Nothing will improve. There is a common denominator to our failure though - the board. They may all have successful businesses outside of football. Sadly, they do not have a good track record in football. That’s being kind. It’s like an abusive relationship. They seem to care little about the club. Yet, we are told nobody else is interested in us. It’s almost like we should be thankful for what we have. If that is the case,, it isn’t any wonder fans are voting with their feet. Let’s not kid ourselves. We are heading back to the Harkness years. The rot has set in and needs to be cut out, or we are well and truly fucked. At this rate I can genuinely see us following the Shire, Berwick and Cowdenbeath.

A fair point. I meant League 2.

We are sleep walking into League 2, and within a season or two, the Lowland League as well. We have to accept it though. iI mean, who is going to look at us?

It is a shame. I like Marvin and want him to do well. The good thing for him is our board don’t generally get rid of a manager for poor results during a season. So he probably isn’t under too much pressure. The worrying thing is that we have been on a death spiral for a few seasons now. It really does need addressed.

We have booked flights out to Cologne via Heathrow on 15 June. Hotels booked in Cologne and Düsseldorf 4 nights in each city before heading back. We have applied for tickets in Cologne, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Gelsenkirchen, and Frankfurt. Hopefully Scotland have a game or two in one of those cities during that time. Not long now before the draw and the excitement is slowly building.
