    I agree. Despite the arithmetic Saturday is our season. If we have Dom available we have a decent chance. Get Thomson into midfield, play Turner further up if we play him at all and choose two of three CBs Fox and Wilson along with Robson. Paton and Sheridan to start up front. All that said if we don't have Thomas we are screwed.

    I agree completly, but if he goes for Bannon he must play him on the right side of the back three and not the left.

    Walk in the park for United so far who look a lot more confident and sharp than the last time they played here.

    Davidson fucked it though selecting Turner and Mckinstry in midfield again. Absolute passengers panicking on the rare occasions they get the ball. Thomson should be in midfield, Mckinstry in the stand and if Turner is playing he needs to be further forward. 

    Dreadfull team selection and even worse substitions. CD made a right mess of things today.

    it was indeed & a good day all round at the City Stadium for those who couldn't make it, here's what you missed...

    there was a decent crowd  - easily 3 or 4 times the numbers at the couple of games I've been to at New Tinto and great to see lots of youngsters in their beautiful Macron kits!

    So, what's next? The next game is against Stirling Uni on the 14th April, if QP win that ( & we have beaten them 4-1, 6-0 & 12-0 this season) the worst we can be is 15 points clear of Killie with 5 games to play.  Currently our goal difference is 37 better than Killie's so that would effectively be the league won.  This game is currently scheduled to be played at New Tinto Park - surely it should be moved to the Haugheydrome?

     

    And what about next season where (barring the most dramatic collapse ever) QP women will be playing against the likes of Rangers, Celtic, Glasgow City, Hibs, Hearts & Partick Thistle, where do they plan to play - surely not New Tinto Park, a ground with no seats? And what about the team? They will be up against several teams with full time pro players.  How do they intend to complete?  You would imagine a few teams are eying up some of the girls and surely some form of professional status must be under consideration.

    Perhaps it will be Lesse,r as our President and his good lady were sitting in the Royal box wathing the game. Surely they were trying it out fot next season with the ladies in the top division?

    Perhaps at Lesser. Noticed that our President and his very charming wife were sitting in the Royal Box, obviously trying it out for next year with the Ladies playing at Lesser in the top division.

    The club president, wearing training gear, being in the photos for player contract announcements would be weird at any other football club

    But then we have a very weired President, who seems to have forgoten that he was once one of us. I hear on the grapevine, that he has made quite a few desicions, without consulting the Committee, that has upset several Committee members.

    To be honest with the current position that we find ourselves in…”there’s a striker in there” isn’t exactly what we are looking for……..we need someone to come on who will make an impact or at least at some point in a game be in a position to have a shot at goal. Scott Williamson is a better option for the last 10 min, maybe not great but a more natural striker.

     

    Agree re Willamson.

    I would love to see two up front here for QP and really pressure the Thistle defence. I think we're more solid at the back and can maybe gamble a wee bit but it might come down to whether we can stop Graham.

    2-1 to Glasgow's top outfit in hoops (that's QP, of course).

     

    Must play 2 up front, to have any chance in the rest of our games, with Thomas coming in behind  them.

    To be honest, before being mentioned on here, had never heard of Sheridan. We're never going to attract experienced players without some kind of baggage. What matters is what he does for us. Maybe a decent option off the bench and his experience should be good for the likes of Paton & Williamson.

    Not impressed with the Sheridan signing, our with his interview. No Williamson on the bench on Saturday who gave the Morton defence more problems for the short time that he had on, than anyone else had done and he was on a high having just scored 2 goals for the B team. Carse not brought on who, I think, was Celtic's B team top scorer. Bannon who is right footed playing on the left of defence, Wilson who is left footed in the centre of defence and Thomson who has been great all season moved to the rightside of defence instead of being in the centre of it where he has been outstanding!!!!

    Great to see we now have attacking options with bringing back Williamson, return from injury of Mcleish and addition of Crole, and Hinds. However, we still do not have another proven striker at this level! Hopefully, one of our back up strikers will hit some form. Paton has been outstanding, but we need cover and help for him to replace him when needed and even come on to add firepower and finish off teams. Tizard coming back strong is also great to see. Surviving obviously target number 1, which we should achieve but with continuing good results play offs are possible.

    Could not believe that Willamson only got put on with 5 minutes to go. Paton was knackered with 15 to go and in the time that he was on Williamson caused their defenders more problems than Paton did at any time in the second half.

    Kane was already ahead of Heraghty in the pecking order. I always liked Jacques but I fear his days at the club may be numbered.

    If the figures that are being reported for McKenna's move are accurate then it's a cracking deal for everyone involved. We were never realistically going to keep him.

    I'll certainly be following his career closely, and wishing him all the best.

    Yes he is, but I do not understand what Heraghty has done to slip down the pecking order. Always looked good any time that I saw him.

    Agree with you.  I think most of us seem to think she wasn't half as effective as we hoped she'd be. If she was very unwell during her tenure then I am genuinely sorry to hear that and doubtless that may have affected her peformance and public  profile at the club. The detail of that matter, however, is her personal business and not for social media.  Hope she stays well but I am glad she has moved on.

    Don't know if this helps in any way re the CEO but I have it on very good info, that she was having 6 month check ups on her illness.

    Very poor refereeing decisions to be encouraging diving.

    That said we do tend to create more opportunities for the opposition than they do themselves. 

    Welsh was sent off for being silly. His first yellow was for dissent, when the Ref gave a foul against him which it never was. Unless there is VAR  or a Lino intervenes they do not change their mind, so you should just shut up and get on with the game as you are only a bad tackle away from a red card. Which happened.

    Scott Brown might do very well, but having just seen some of the coverage and commentary of the Ayr appointment I’m so pleased to be nowhere near the Old Firm sideshow. 

    With regards to the Ayr game on Saturday I have just heard that the Ayr fans will be next to us in the West stand. This is disgracefull and penny pinching on behalf of the club. We have endured nonsense this season with bad language and intimidation from several fans of other clubs sitting close to us. Have the committee not learned their lesson. Away fans should be in the East stand. With two new members on the committee I am surprised that they have allowed this to happen.

    It looks likely that we’ll see a reasonable amount of change at the club within the next week or so, but let’s keep in mind that that all of this is the result of complete mismanagement and any attempts at painting this as a brave new dawn should be loudly scoffed at. There has been no accountability for any of the numerous shambles that have occurred since we turned pro. If we go with business as usual, we cannot expect different outcomes.

    I have reservations about the structure of the club, but that’s one for the longer term. The structure is the structure and that’s what we currently have to work with. With that in mind, we obviously need fresh blood and fresh ideas when it comes to decision making. I’ll be backing Lynne and David for the committee and would urge every other member who is feeling disillusioned to do the same. If you can’t make it to the AGM, make your vote count with a proxy. The result may or may not be successful, but it’s important that a strength of feeling is shown. We can either do something or do nothing. The latter is only going to see the same things continuing to happen.

    It’s notable that two of the sitting members didn’t submit statements in support of their candidacies and I’m also told that there have been deals offered and rejected to one or more of the new candidates. It really is very grubby stuff and says an awful lot about how certain factions within the club view their own positions and, indeed, the voice of the membership.

    I was a member many years ago and if what you say is true about two people who are standing for Committee have not bothered to submit a statement as to why they should be, I can guess who they are, bet they are about 70 years old and are ex Presidents. Disgracefull

    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. 

    It was disgracefull of you and there is no excuse for your behaviour.
