Beautiful, beautiful shitfesting. Fantastic application and dig from the players and Nuijten deserves credit for the setup. Rode our luck, but that was so much better in terms of what you want to see from a Queen’s Park team. Didn’t think we had a sniff at taking anything.

Dundee United shitting the bed at Hampden? You don’t see that often.

Won Hibs the Scottish Cup and nearly got Queen’s Park to the Prem. She’ll get another high profile job on the basis of the headlines on the CV. Nobody will bother scratching the surface.

I’ll never learn. None of us will. That’s why we keep going back.

See to be honest, this isn’t a terrible shout. Crisis management stuff, but we are where we are. Played 150 games in the Championship and is only 30, so you’d hope his legs still work.

Stupidly getting myself into “ye never know..” territory for this. Idiot that I am.

There was someone on here recently looking to get rid of a load of old programmes. Can’t remember who it was! Can whoever it was drop me a reply or DM. Not looking to buy the lot, but am looking for a couple of ones relating to significant occasions.

If we continue to do the same thing and expect different results, we’ll richly deserve the relegation that comes our way.

Even if it happens, I’m not allowing myself to become optimistic until I know the Malky danger as Director of Football has subsided.

Aye, knows the league and has managed from youth level to Championship in England. You can’t underestimate how good a job you’d have to have done to get basket case Blackpool promoted when he was there as well. Seems to have a decent eye for a player. If there’s a more obvious candidate, I can’t see them.

We’re surely not about to do something I’d actually approve of?

I’m already starting to ponder Thomas and Paton being dynamite at that level.

Where are we playing next season? Can pretty much guarantee we’ll start thinking about this in April.

It happens in football the world over. Steve Cooper binned at Forest today, while Nuno Espírito Santo is already on the flight to Nottingham to sign the deal that’s already been agreed. It’s not nice, but it’s a cutthroat business. I don’t think there’s anyone connected with Queen’s Park who thought Veldman was going to last. It’s another example of the club reacting to events, rather than looking into the distance for solutions before fairly predictable events occur. If we haven’t been sounding people out for weeks, we’ve once again not being doing our job properly. Also, it’s not like we haven’t done this before. Mark Roberts sacked on Hogmanay and Ray McKinnon in on January 2nd. It would be naive in the extreme to think that hadn’t been in the pipeline. You don’t approach someone and come to an immediate agreement on New Year’s Day.

It’s getting towards being pure negligence now. Find it incredible that we weren’t talking to candidates when the writing was on the wall. This should have been ready to go days, if not even hours, after Veldman left.

Thoughts on the game aside, it’s a shame this is on the Friday. Saturday afternoon would have seen a much healthier crowd. Many do United fans think you’ll bring? The vibe around the club couldn’t be more starkly different to this time last season. 4-1 win at Arbroath was one of the great away days of my time. Liquid football in a hurricane, liquid pints, Christmas time, Boateng and wine and Owen Coyle being serenaded at the end.

We can’t continue to do the same thing for a few weeks and expect different results. Need the new guy in asap.

If we were flying, this would be up there with the toughest games of the season. We are not flying. Can’t think of a less enjoyable period of watching Queen’s Park, including being guff in the bottom tier.

No wonder tbh. Nobody would suggest he’s in the form of his life, but you can at least see he’s bursting a gut. Even a below par Dom Thomas is the most likely guy in the team to make something happen. Taking him off was absolutely insane.

Looks a definite red to me. Not that it really mattered. You could probably have had another couple sent off and we’d still have passed the ball around in front of your defence at a snails pace, before clipping the ball over and out for a goal kick.

Unacceptable performance. Talk of that being an improvement is complete fantasy. We couldn’t even take advantage of the decisions that went our way. A man advantage for more than half the game and we barely laid a glove on them. We move the ball so slowly and the final ball is more in hope than anything. How many times are we going to lose that same goal this season? It’s an absolute embarrassment. Whole state of the club is absolutely rotten. Devoid of leadership. It’d be easy to absolve the players of blame as a result of that, but these guys are on half decent money and are supposed to be full-time professionals. They need to show much, much more. Cal Ferrie aside, is there a single player in that squad playing anywhere close to the standards we know they can reach? People on significantly less money than they are, are spending hundreds, probably actually into four figures following the team home and away across the season. Four months without a win is an absolute disgrace, regardless of which way you spin it. We need a manager in soon and some experienced heads in in January. If both these things don’t happen, we’re going down.

Aye. I was involved in the exchange of views. Came over to the support and it was explained that perhaps our performance hadn’t met the required level. Escalated into a robust exchange of opinions. Neither of our finest hours, but emotions were running high. He’s very low on the list of folk I’m actually pissed off with at Queen’s Park tbh.

Only going to this through morbid fascination.

The cup games on the ticket.

I’m becoming convinced that they’re trying to sicken us into Malky. There is nothing that could sicken me to that level, right enough.
