Aye, I wasn't angling for any compliments.

Big high balls to Salmon or anyone and Queens cannot cope with cross balls.
It's a pity Trouten still doesn't play for Alloa or he could Plaice the ball right on Salmons head. True that crosses into the box often has the Queens' defence Floundering though. I can see this being another Bass-tard of a result for Queens, pretty soon there"ll be hardly a Sole turning up to watch.

Ten years ago our Board had plenty of ambition and aspirations for QoS, as time passed however that has steadily evaporated, lethargy and stagnation is the overriding feelings around the place. Whilst concentrating on reasonanly successful off-field ventures like The Arena, KGV, etc they've taken their eyes off what really matters. ie the 1st team and the state of the "stadium", and now it seems to have become too big a problem for them to solve so they're jacking it in en-masse and hoping some fresh blood can be found to reinvigorate the place. Good luck with that. As Bartley takes us to the very brink of possible relegation to the 4th tier of professional football and the stigma of being the worst ever full time team in Scottish Football history, the Board sit back ticking off the days until they can leave, seemingly content to let things slide and let fate take its course. I well remember the "Harkness Years" at Palmerston but the state things have sunk to under this Board has surpassed even Harkness's misrule.

While some teams can start a match fired up, our gang jog onto the pitch looking for all the world like damp tinder. The manager spends the rest of the match rubbing two sticks together in the hope of creating a spark. And usually fails.
Rubbing two sticks together would make him look more animated than he does now tbf, usually standing like a stookie at the side of the pitch watching on as his team invariably collapses.

Murray 3 time loser. Sacked at Raith, disaster under Gibson, embarrassment under Bartley. A decent assistant may have helped Marv. If the Bod won’t fire Marv sack this clown and get a decent experienced coach to come in and work alongside Marv til end of the season
Aye, but will Bartley listen to anyone, experienced or otherwise? He seems to be so rigid in his beliefs about how we should play.

Kelty were excellent last night. Fired up from the first whistle, never let us settle and played a lot of good stuff.
Exactly the sort of performance that was needed in their circumstances.
From Saturday's point of view, I'd expect a positive reaction from the Alloa players. Bobby Wales will miss that one too though and we'll likely play Sammo or Roy in his place, which weakens us.
Roy likes a goal against Queens tho.

We’ve played 1 striker since Andy took over and it’s coincided with Bobby Wales being on top form so he has found himself benched. Maybe surprisingly, Sammon more often than not is on ahead of him off the bench but I expect him to get a chance over the next few games with Wales away with the under 19s.
By all accounts he still appears to be really enjoying his loan at the club but I’m sure he’d be wanting some more game time. Probably sets him up for a goal on Saturday!
2 already against QotS is it for Roy (up to now anyway).

Only 4hours or so to the kick off so this must be a bit early to start a thread.
Expect an away win but it will be interesting to see how Andy makes up the front line with Bobby Wales away. LD did well on saturday starting, so may be that will be used again with Ally Roy as an impact sub later. Return of Kevin Cawley?
What's actually happened to Ally Roy? Has he been injured and struggling to get back in the team or just further down the pecking order now? He was banging them in when he first joined you was he not. Sounds a bit like his time at QotS, looked fine, despite what Airdrie fans had predicted, scored a few but didn't feature too much after returning from injury.

i remember that name. sure he played for us for a season back in the 2000s.
Sure he was a coach at Raith Rovers and had a spell in charge of Queens Park at the outset of their "journey to the top". He was brought in to QotS by Naysmith when assistant D. Anderson jumped ship early to take up his post at the SFA. Ellis also left QotS when Naysmith deservedly got his jotters.

Dougie Anderson works for the SFA and therefore can't be employed by a club due to their rules
What's is Dougie Andersons successor Laurie Ellis (?) up to nowadays, always thought he put a bit of effort and vitality into the pre-match routines trying to gee players up. Not saying he should be a candidate for a long term appointment mind.

Guess that the top knobs are clearly pissed off the pathetic pitches at Livi and Killie. We’ve had two grass carpets that look so much better, and different. Never had a manager or anyone complain about either surface. As posted criminal that should we get ourselves in a position of getting into the sacred ten, we’ve got to spend fortunes on grass
Sacred twelve now is it not?

As I already said. I want to hear that Bartley has been relieved of his duties with immediate effect (aka gardening leave) or preferably, that his contract has been terminated with immediate effect (paid off) anything that makes it clear he has been a major disaster, and not sugar coating it with "mutual consent" pish.

If there is something in his contract saying compensation is reduced if Queens don’t get to the play-offs, could they not just give him a month’s wages to cover the period until it is mathematically confirmed? Even Bartley must know there is zero chance of Queens finishing fourth, so there shouldn’t be any argument, apart from the actual timing and it will probably be less than a month anyway.
They could then announce it as him leaving by mutual consent.Never mind this mutual consent pish, I want him sacked NOW.

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?
From the terrace it looked an absolute stick on he would score, about 6 yards out, glaring open goal, but it seemed to come off the top of his forehead. No excuses about ball too high or bad bounce, just a complete misheader imo.

Utter nonsense. We dominated the vast majority of the first half, could and should have been 2 or 3 up before that chance Mumbongo fluffed wide just before half time. Big deflection on the shot that beat Long as well. Queens had a good 5/10 minute spell around the time of those two moments, but for 75 minutes that was one way traffic.
In the first two games this season between the sides Queens have been more competitive than their league position suggests, but certainly weren't yesterday
Actually thought last night's performance was the most competitive we've been in the games between us this season, although it did take us a while to get into the game and should have been trailing at half-time. We did at least look like trying to get forward more rather than parking the bus. Thought Todd's goal was heading over the bar but the deflection must have put some spin on it. Disappointing not to have held the lead for longer and once Falkirk made their first subs the game swung completely in their favour and the now inevitable collapse duly transpired. Well deserved win overall imo and fair enough winning margin.

What reason does Morrison have to go down in that situation? He has cut back onto his left foot and can either lay it off or swivel and shoot for himself.
The lack of Queens protest says it was a penalty. Usually if a player has dived there are words said, fingers pointed. There was none of that
You don't understand that our players have just given up caring so no surprise at the lack of any complaints, they just accept decisions in the same way they seem to expect defeats. Too far away for me to see so can't say yay or nay to penalty.

Section 6 now on sale (well half of it). With it being on TV, I think 700-750 will be our max today but you never know.
Come on down folks and spend, spend, spend. Unfortunately don't think you'll get such fancy fayre at the food stalls as you seem to get at other grounds.

He had a clause in his contract that he would automatically get another year if he played x amount of games. As the season was called off early he never hit that target despite the fact he would have if the season continued, so we released him.
Of course the manager could gave played him more before the season was called early if he wanted to, to enable him to reach his target, but for whatever reason he didn't, so no guarantee he would have made it anyway. He wasn't exactly a guaranteed starter or used sub at the time anyway.

Bartley blaming P&B posters will be a change from him constantly blaming the players for the position he's put us in. #never my fault.

Can we kindly ask both sets of supporters to switch places to make Palmerston look better for the TV. We need all the covered enders going into the old main stand and all the Falkirk fans taking their place on the terrace.
Thank you for your help!
We could maybe get some cardboard cut-outs put in the old Stand to look like the fans. Possibly get them from the same source as Bartley gets his players.

Did Bartley not have him on the wing in 1 game (v Annan), half a game anyway before being subbed, usually pretty central I would say. He's a handful for defenders, scored a good goal yesterday but, as you say, he's passed up a couple of decent chances in other games. Yet to get the full 90 minutes but playing as a lone striker he's bound to run out of steam. He's quite good with the ball on the deck so he's not just being used as a target man for punts up the park.
