    I'd see the last bit as more of a prerequisite than a mere preference to be honest.

    I'm also struggling with the "takes heed of what fans say" part of your post. The board flew directly in the face of unified opinion on the biggest question of his  day, heaping shame and embarrassment on all of us.

    This "rangers vote" thing always confuses me as I can't recall at the  time any poll or questionnaire seeking supporters views, certainly no- one asked me my views. As for "taking heed", maybe a bit of a stretch, he (Robertson) did give the impression that he was interested in what supporters wanted or had to say (beyond the rangers thing) that's not to say he or the Board necessarily acted on it.

    I've no dog in this fight but surely every customer is entitled to a good view of the entertainment that they have paid for?

    Bartleyball is hardly entertainment but otherwise your point stands valid..

    Folk wanting Mark Robertson back 😂. Guaranteed in about 10 years time these same revisionists will be saying how great Hewitson was. 

    Unless Ive missed it I don't think anyone has actually said they want Robertson back, just someone like him who communicates with fans,takes heed of what they say and gets things done. Obviously better as well if that person is a Quens fan rather than a Loyal season ticket holder of a Glasgow based Club.

    What sort of view are you wanting for £16 at what's basically a Scottish Lowland  league ground? Sydney opera House perhaps? The hanging gardens of Babylon.  Herds of wildebeest swinging majestically...

    FTFY.

    First look at Mumbongo last week did not look good against the physical Stirling defence.

    Doherty might be a option but is he injured not involved last week 

    I wasn't at the Edinburgh game but seeing him against Kelty, Montrose and Stirling (bit part appearances granted) Mumbongo looks to have a more physical style than Doherty, and he's got pace for his size,  he surely deserves a start given his goal ratio since he came. Reilly sadly doesn't look to have the pace any more to chase balls if played alone up front going by the past two games so expect Bartley will line up with Reilly upfront and Mumbongo on the bench.

    Thank for your help got it now was hoping maybe a sell out save me going to another horror show 

    About the only good thing going in the away end at Annan is the view's  that crap you can't see Bartleyball very well.

    I am a shareholder was surprised at the AGM that our departing board can get whoever they want to run the club we have no say on who they appoint .

    We just have to hope they get it right .

     

    I'm not a Queens shareholder and a few years since I've served on Committees, but would there not have to be an EGM to elect these people into Office. The current Board, or other shareholders, can only propose them I would have thought.

    It certainly does NOT improve the experience- he’s dire.

    He's not perfect, does a few things that grate, but at least tries to be a bit more upbeat than the snoozefest that the previous man sadly lapsed into. As for the music yesterday, no problem with that, I'm getting (am) old, probably had those records at one time anyway, doesn't always have to be aimed at youngsters. I'm sure he'll mix it up at times.

    Queens are heading for the relagation playoffs.

    Annan are on the up they have  more heart and desire than us will go to win the game .

    We will be without our 2 best centre backs Goss will win everything in the air .

    Bartley is clueless as a manager should have been sacked months ago.

    Goss won everything in the air last time at Annan, still couldnt win. They've run us close in every game so far, this will probably be the same but I expect us to get something out of the game. Would like to see Mumbongo start to give us  bit of physical presence up front. I also expect the ex Queens players at Annan will be weighed down by the chips on their shoulders. 

  10. Football must be about the only game where there are so many medical professionals in the crowd who can spot if an injury is genuine or faked. Also fans complaining about time wasting ( aka game management) in a "we're whiter than white and would never do such a thing" attitude. Great to support your team but don't be hypocritical about it. Time wasting pisses me off, yes we're as guilty as any team, but yesterday wasn't as extreme as some are making out and every team does it.  As for the penalty incident, from behind the Queens goal it looked to me like it was Carrick who just caught the keeper, could even have been 50/50 given the way both approached it. Penalty decision looked a bit harsh anyway but need to see it again to confirm. As for Carrick getting booed after the miss, probably because he'd done a couple of niggly fouls earlier ( sure he was booked for totting up a few, certainly spoken to by Ref) so was probably a giruy gesture from the fans. Not sure Stirling dominated the second half as someone claimed given we scored a goal and won a series of corners, and worked the keeper a bit, but they probably edged it.  Thought overall a draw was fair, happy with any point at home given our record tbf, we would normally lose a game like that and often have.  Injuries to two main defenders is a concern, hopefully not long term.

    Harsh on Cochrane. Thought he was the only midfielder getting stuck in. Brydon as well before he got injured. 

    Sorry, know you're a Cochrane fan but nothing was coming off for him today imo. Getting stuck in maybe but passing was poor, getting caught in possession a few times too. A hollow compliment maybe but he was probably the least awful of the three middle men. 

  12. Maybe a sign of where we are and our woeful form this season. but I somehow don't feel too disappointed or surprised at leaving Palmerston with a point after being ahead. Again, apart from a couple of decent spells we had too many poor performers, especially midfield.

    Does he not mean it'll be his second trip to Palmerston this season for successive QoS v Stirling fixtures?

    If not, he should be waterboarded forthwith, with your example not even covering the extent of the offence. 

    Stirling is literally half as far from Alloa as is Dumfries from Annan.  It would be more like implying that Stirling and Cumbernauld are effectively the same place.

    Hopefully the poster will elaborate, but second successive away trip to Dumfries to me infers succesive away game, and going by his/her remarks the weather and result of the last away trip weren't favourable which again doesn't suggest the last trip Stirling made to Palmerston.

    Gameday arrives 🇵🇪

    2nd successive away trip to Dumfries, let's hope for a better result 🙏 

    Was also hoping that the weather would be a bit better, but checking the apps it looks like more rain 🌧 

    Lot's of positives from Tuesday night against Accies, nice passing football, a bit more clinical upfront & i think we can take something from today,

    I like the midfield set up, looked really solid in & out of possession 👍

    Hoping Jojo makes it today, which will allow Geach to slot in at RB & just my own opinion I'd change Offord for Moore 

    C'mon the bino's 🇵🇪 

    Please stop inferring that a trip to Annan is a trip to Dumfries, its like me saying I'm going to Alloa when heading to Stirling. Bad enough they're close to us in the table without being too close to us geographically.

    Lets forget the strippers - be revolutionary.

    Sell Galabank for housing & move up to the scheme - Stadio Weyroc, part of the new super park.

    Is it not, or was, a coffin making factory on the Weyroc site?  Not been past that part of Annan in a while. Stadio DFS Caskets maybe.

    If this "truth" you keep peddling about losing 50 percent of your fan base (an excuse for having attendances of 700 & odd) is true then that is even more bewildering as you would have been in the premier league at the time....it's horseshit isn't it...you just don't have 800 fans 

    This is decent idea for a thread hopefully not going to be spoiled by  crowdwanking. Don't know why Falkirk fans are so obsessed with Hamiltons  crowd numbers.

  17. Surprised no-one has put Dan Armstrong forward as Chairman, he's been suggested for sillier things, plus SD and Dougie the Doonhamer as the other Board members, all got QoS at heart. Seriously, Dan should probably have a non-Executive or Honorary position on the Board anyway. It would be nice if it's local people interested in taking over, please not media darling Davy Rae, but at the end of the day as long as they can put some pride back into the Club and halt the overall feeling of lethargy surrounding the place, it doesn't matter who it is.
