Can't believe you'd want to let Nesbitt go. We should be offering him a contract extension now. He's been excellent in a more forward position.

I agree, I think since Henderson has moved into midfield Nesbitt has been immense, to be fair he was pretty good before that.

Nesbitt has been much improved in recent games, but I’d be wanting to see that continue over the rest of the season before offering a contract extension given the majority of his performances over his 18 month spell.

I’d have reservations about whether he’d be the standard required for the championship.

Going by your squadlist you have 25...

Albeit a fair bit more of yours are academy prospects.

Who is that 25 including? 

 

If they're playing in the youth Cup tonight, then they're probably not first team...

Wow - it never fails to amaze me how people hide behind the mask of keyboard warriors. The fact that s/he has one deleted all their posts is one sure indication of fear of exposure.

 

Personally speaking I find it sad yet not surprising that that a bruised ego resorts to bitter expression but guess that’s human nature at its worst.

The swipe at everyone and everything in that last post kind of screamed out  “massive immaturity “.

Whether we like it or not, MR & SA were the two who stepped up alongside the original BtB, and pulled the club out of the fire of provisional liquidation…..remember, there was no administration back then.

We can all be quick to pull the trigger on the stuff that went wrong thereafter, and that’s fair enough I guess, but the good stuff they have done should never be lost in the story of the last 25 years. They entrusted the club to individuals who on the face it, looked to be well meaning and competent. Of course, too many of them turned out to be grossly incompetent, and self serving.

Sure, there are still things that can be improved upon, but that has always been the case. The thing that should be important to all of us is that the current Board (I hate the word “regime”……it’s a word you hear being used in the British media to describe a government we don’t like), are honest brokers. In my personal experience, they put right a wrong that amply demonstrated how low some of the previous lot were prepared to go.

 I am quietly hopeful and confident that the new Board’s honesty and competence will keep the club going in the right direction.

If we don’t catch the Fifers (and let’s face it, it’s theirs to lose), then M&S are now putting together a side that just might be good enough to sweep through the play offs……….something last season’s team would never have achieved (had they sneaked into 4th place).

Was it D Ream who sang that things can only get better? Here’s hoping.

Enjoy it while it lasts mate, good to see fans of a team who have always bounced about the lower leagues get a wee taste of success, no matter how you get there. At least unlike Livi, Gretna etc etc you’se have history. 

Agree re. The history mate. Pity the people of Glasgow won’t get behind them due to the bigot brothers. I read that QP have the lowest support in Scotland as a % of their towns population.

Any good?

One of the few I didn’t hate last season. Some really really good qualities. Pace and a pretty good finisher, decent with his feet. Sadly, got worse the more time he spent with us, but that seemed to happen to everyone under our previous couple of “‘managers”. 

Lots of Falkirk fans won’t remember him as fondly as I did.

I think there is definitely potential there. However, most fans on here will tell you he downed tools pretty quickly last year ( but then so did everyone). Paton and Kabia could perform quite a lethal partnership tbh. Much better through the middle than out wide imo. I would say overall a solid enough signing for qos.

Aye, so...

Fenton was on loan at Berwick and is now back, presumably as cover but hasn't played a League game.

Rennie, Beagley, Hoggan and Young have been youth players only, with Young making his debut in the Challenge Cup on Tuesday. 

Tod and Sutherland are youth players who have been on the bench occasionally but the most they've been seen is a few minutes here and there in cup ties that are winding down.

So probably a first team squad of 18 (was 19 when Fisher was on loan) with 7 youth players who can sit on a bench.

Must be murder having to compete with bigotry pal. If I was born in Glasgow it would be QP, Thistle or Clyde for me. Couldn’t stomach following either of the arse cheeks.

The sad thing is mate we were both brought in Grangemouth and even we were in the minority as Falkirk fans.

Multiple buses full of bigots leaving in droves from the Maharatta, Ellwyn, Avongrange and Wood Street for years.

From the way McGlynn is talking, I'd be surprised if we see Paul Watson play for us again

Hopefully neither he nor Williamson will ever feature again for us. I don't mean that it a bad way, rather that Rowe, Donaldson, McKay and Mackie avoid suspension and injury and perform to a level that means Watson and Williamson aren't required.

Let's face it, it's highly likely that both are going to be released in the summer anyway.
