  1. I can’t pretend to be an expert, but my understanding is that with most loans the ‘parent club’ covers at least some of the players wages. Obviously the Wilson loan wasn’t a typical one though. No idea why we’d agree to a contract termination if it wasn’t in our financial interest to do so.
  2. No surprise, although I did think enough 9 pointers would take the 130 odd that are left. Tickets still available though.
  3. Cat 1 (€600) and cat 1 restricted view (€480) still available from having had a look. Edit to add: There were 1500 left this morning so probable i think it could drop to the 9 pointers.
  4. Managed to get lucky and got a ticket for Hungary. Surprised it got down to 10 points so absolutely delighted.
  5. I live less than 10 minutes drive away from New Douglas Park and we’ve had pretty heavy snowfall overnight, although I'm at the very top of Hamilton and sometimes it’s a different climate here. Decent chance it could be off I’d say.
  6. That could be the most surprising result in my 23 years following Queens. I’d have put my house on us getting pumped today.
  7. I don’t believe they’ll disappear, they don’t at any level. I believe they’ll reduce though. That interview is an embarrassment. The players must be petrified of making mistakes with a manager that hangs them out to dry publicly like Bartley has. It’s not the first time either. I know that approach might appeal to some fans, but it just screams of someone lacking in basic leadership and managerial skills. It’s quite clear to me from watching his interviews why players aren’t performing for him. The players aren’t intentionally going out to make mistakes. He needs to remember he’s managing players at league 1 level who won’t be earning an awful lot. Sounds like the atmosphere he’s created at the club with his obsessive personality is the main reason for the pathetic start to the season.
  8. Alan Archibald and Neil Scally combo for me. Done well with Thistle.
  9. Both Bartley and Gibson were in the inexperienced punt category of managerial appointments. High risk, high reward. If they do well, they potentially get us promoted and they are away for compensation - particularly Bartley with the length of contract. Don’t think I need to spell out the if they don’t do well scenario as it’s came to fruition with both. The 2 year deals for players particularly concerning. Could end up with players on FT contracts in league 2. A more experienced appointment would be welcome next though. The threat of getting relegated given our current trajectory is too high.
  10. How quickly after the game till he’s sacked then? Surely can’t survive this. A 5 or 6-1 defeat might not be the worst thing to make sure.
  11. The Scottish cup is a write off after drawing Dundee United, so that 2 week period after the Kelty game next week looks a good time to appoint a new manager. Failure to win next week, and I’d be be getting rid. Wouldn’t be adverse to going with McCall.
  12. I don’t disagree with the sentiment. But that isn’t the system we are playing. Bartley’s preferred formation at the start of the season was a 4 at the back. Again though, we’re having to make up for failings in our defence and seem to have resorted mostly to a 3 at the back. I’ve not made it to the last few games, but understand it’s maybe been a 4 but with Paul McKay in front of the defence for the last couple. I’d actually quite like to see what Gibson would be like in a central ‘number 10’ or floating role. When fit, he should be starting more games than not for me.
  13. That must be close to the youngest starting 11 we’ve ever put out. Houston the oldest player born in January 2000.
  14. It’s mentioned in Cove’s match report on their website.
