  1. Only page one of the thread and Gretna mentioned already. Fair play (to be fair, there's a good chance you're still better run off the park than we are)
  2. Agreed. Not sure why anyone would want to take a wrecking ball to the team just as we're building up a bit of a momentum. Especially when it's one of most prestigious cup competitions in the world and our win record at Peterhead is pretty abysmal - only two wins up there since they joined the SFL back in 2000. Writing off the opposition is usually when a team gets a bloody nose. They'll be right up for this. We should be going full strength imo but there is no doubt Coyle will make a few changes. Probably similar to Cliftonville.
  3. Aye, nae bother. So we all know the big man has had a few dodgy moments. Erratic would be the best word to describe his time in the team. Ayr away was a shocker for him but he wasn't the only one that day. But do you not think he then had a really good game at Firhill, for example? Made a goal saving block tackle first half and scored a fine header. A pretty much faultless display tbf. I've not got a problem with constructive criticism but you should also dish out praise when it's deserved. If you don't then you just create a scapegoat. For what it's worth, I also think Fox is a better player and it should be him and Kilday for the foreseeable future.
  4. The simple answer is no. One of those games moved was because Stennie were at home. And quite rightly so.
  5. We've been told our social club will be open as usual on match days so I'm assuming away fans will be welcome there like they were before.
  6. Nah, our main struggle is keeping the ball out of our net. We've tossed away quite a few points this season from winning positions because of daft goals conceded.
  7. Don't think it will be any warmer in the stand mate but a lot of QP fans would be more than happy to be on the terrracing instead
  8. All this talk of a Hampden return is really starting to annoy me (even more than the Premiership chat) I really don't want to go back there. And - apart from the rumour about these two games next month when Ochilview isn't available - there is no need to go back there as long as we're no higher than the Championship (let's be honest, that's not happening anytime soon, we're not good enough) If we can put up a "temporary" North stand while (and after) we build the South Stand then that will be fine for the Championship.
  9. Are these going to be the media seats? If so then that's less of an issue for me as they don't pay. But as Tattie36 says, how does that happen in a modern new stand? So weird.
  10. Yeah, I'm guessing the padded seats in the middle will be for the hospitality punters. So you're spot on. Why the f**k they didn't make that diddy "VIP" stand bigger to house them is just mental. Especially as the hospitality lounge is going to be in the JB McAlpine upstairs.
  11. The main reason why we were persuaded to withdraw our request for an official EGM the last time was because we were informed by the President that our CEO couldn't attend it as she wasn't a member and he wanted her to do a presentation. He insisted that only members were allowed. The point was made that the previous club secretary/GM used to attend members' meetings to take minutes but he insisted she was made a member to do so (?) We all really wanted Dempster there to answer our questions and address our concerns so we relented. Then at last December's club AGM by zoom, imagine our surprise when Laurie Ellis made an appearance and gave us an update on the playing side of things. All very welcome of course (despite him being out a job a couple of weeks later) but he wasn't a member of the club. Therefore we were lied to previously. The committee can do whatever the f**k they want when they feel like it. So aye, don't worry. We won't get fooled again.
  12. And the one time we actually need him to stay on his line and collect a high ball sailing safely straight towards him (Dundee game) he comes rushing off his line like a maddie and the ball goes straight over his head. There is no doubt he has made some great saves this season - I think he's made the most saves in the division (was told this was mentioned during the TV commentary) - but that probably says more about our defence. We really need a keeper that can command his penalty area, especially at set pieces. He's currently struggling to take command of the six yard box.
  13. Oh there's been a few knocked back over the years. Back when the committee was full of decrepit out of touch ex-players who thought fans showing passion for the team or expressing opinions just wasn't on.
  14. Can't remember exactly when it was but I was at a meeting (the one with Beuker and Coyle in attendance) where I'm sure she said it definitely wouldn't be ready in time for the League Cup games and that we might have to play the first few opening league games elsewhere. It was all a bit vague but like you I've kind of lost track. Let's also remember the initial plans were scrapped and we had to pay off the previous contractor. That was apparently Dempster's decision when she started to oversee the construction project. So I totally blame the committee for much of this delay. I think we can all agree the original design they went for wasn't great (not that the current one is that much better imo) Even if we hadn't turned pro and subsequently not got investment from Haughey, we'd still have to build a new ground. And with even less money. But we'd be nowhere near the Championship so we'd probably have enough in the bank from the Hampden sale to build one with an adequate capacity for League 2 (or Lowland more like)
  15. Of course now the same kids will have to choose between going to the game or attending the regular Friday night community coaching sessions. That's a shambles. I'm absolutely done with the people who are supposed to be running our club on our behalf. Dempster aside, wtf are the committee - sorry, directors as they like to be known now - up to? They've all been involved with the club a lot longer than her and are supposed to know better. What exactly do most of them do now anyway? Absolutely f**k all is the answer. Their privileged status is just a perk for the chocolate teapots these days.
  16. He made the effort to travel down, that's all you can ask for. Not got a problem with anyone leaving when we're five nil down and getting truly embarrassed on the pitch. In hindsight, I wish I'd been sensible enough to join him.
  17. I was hoping all our wrapping would be done by the time I stumbled home on Christmas Eve. Now I've got a full day of that to look forward to.
  18. If I was Thomson or Thomas and I was dropped then I'd definitely have complaints. Both of them were the only guys that turned up last week imo
  19. It's getting on very slowly indeed. Currently still attempting to build one stand for punters with around 1,000 seats. They said it that would be finished this month. They're now aiming for early December. Can't see it being ready until January at the earliest tbh. After that's done, they will start building a 500 seater stand behind the goal. Next summer I think
  20. How on earth are we supposed to grow our away support before we've even been able to grow our home support? We haven't been able to attend a home game in the southside since March 2020. But aye, try harder......jesus
  21. Still more acceptable than the Tory patter from you. We've always had a small support and we always will have imo. The majority of our support has absolutely no control over what our club is doing off the pitch, we're just going along to support our team like we've always done. Obviously we're delighted with the investment in the team but do you think we're happy with what's currently going on with our stadium build? Sober up
