I don't know about others, but I feel that my wider interest in football has waned a bit this year. Without crowds, it just seems to matter less, but maybe that's just me. The side under Gus, allthough hopeless, was nowhere near as bad as this one. We were competitive in most games, but usually came away losing or drawing, with a particular habit of conceding important late goals. This team, however, is usually dead and buried by half time. We are routinely shipping 3 or 4 goals and have that general air of being in completely the wrong division. It's really hard to care right now, because any emotional investment just feels pointless, as any hope is being snuffed out so early and so comprehensively each week. I'm with you here, this team are just hopeless, comfortably the worst in my 20 years watching Queens. Without the opportunity to vent at the game on a Saturday, it's really hard to find the motivation to engage with it. 9 minutes ago, MONKMAN said: Yes. The club seems to have rolled the red carpet out for him, which is more embarrassing than the team at the moment. And shit like this doesn't help. What the f**k are the club up to? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmy_cammy Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I think Gus at least acknowledged we were really poor and tried to make us stuffy and hard to beat. Obviously it didn't work, and the problem with such a strategy is as soon as you go a goal down your plan A is gone and we didn't really have the ability to successfully apply a plan B. We were at least competitive in some games under Macpherson, not least when drawing at Pittodrie. I wouldn't trust Allan Johnston to drive to Aberdeen unassisted, never mind picking up a result there. I find it hard to show any interest in an organisation that thought it was acceptable to have 3 signed defenders on the books, it really is brexit levels of self-harm and surely the worst decision our club have ever made. Oh wait... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankReynolds Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 He would have had to get his temperature checked and filled out a covid form. I'd assume there'd be a list of names for those allowed entry. So his name must have been on the list for some reason? Either that he's done none of the above and gained entry illegally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He publicly drove between countries when such activities were banned it matters not if he did it or not to attend a game of football it's that you let a man with a huge public presence into your ground either without checking or in the knowledge that he broke the rules before arriving. It would be the same if he had traveled from abroad and didn't do his 10 day quarantine and it was public knowledge he didn't then again you are just begging the SPFL to slap you with a fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) On what possible basis might he have been allowed in? Is it absolutely certain that he was? Some discretion must exist regarding people fulfilling roles for the club, as well as media etc, but I can't conceive of how that might extend to allow for him.

Was he not moving house at the time? Is that now allowed? Genuine question. Like I said, if he did attend the game then I think it's stupid that he was allowed in. He's put a picture up of him being outside the arena and then another of the pitch from inside the ground which does look like he was in. But there is a possibility he could have got that second picture from somewhere which made it look like he was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than media, there's no other reason why he should be there. But I've read he wasn't on a list of people allowed in and didn't get his temperature checked and covid form filled out. That post has now been deleted so don't know how reliable it is. There's no certainty he was in, only the pictures he put on social media which made it look like he was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer will have a media pass or something. Doesn't he work for Russia today or some such? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really hard to care right now, because any emotional investment just feels pointless, as any hope is being snuffed out so early and so comprehensively each week. After 9 games, the Gus team had 8 points and a goal difference of minus 3 (9 for 12 against). This shower have 4 points and a goal difference of minus 15 (10 for 25 against). So they have half the points total, have scored one more goal and have conceded 13 more. In the games we have lost (which have been to all 7 of the full-time sides) the longest we have held out before going behind is 40 minutes. The shortest is less than 1 minute. The average is 18 minutes. The numbers are - 1, 12, 12, 19, 20, 20 and 40. (I have taken a goal conceded in, say 21 mins as meaning we held out for 20 mins). Results against the 7 full-time teams P7 W0 D0 L7 7 goals scored 24 conceded, so conceding an average of 3.43 per game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recollection of the Gus season is that we were seldom hammered, but obviously rarely won. An exception was a home game against Falkirk which I think we contrived to lose 5-1. I don't think that was typical though. I also remember a February week (the one when Rangers entered administration incidentally) in which we lost last minute equalisers in league games with Ayr and Dundee, either side of losing a late winner against Aberdeen in the Cup. I'm not sure if losing late goals was generally a feature, but I remember those being costly at the time, particularly the Ayr one. Go on - provide some more comparative stats during these troubled times. Edited December 27, 2020 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmy_cammy Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Yep pretty clear from this Twitter thread that he was an invited guest of the club https://twitter.com/EuanMaxwell93/status/1343172205216215040 Not that my support was really amounting to much these days anyway, but I will certainly be stepping back my support from the club until there are big changes at all levels of the management of the club. Absolutely rotten to the core at present. I don't think the board could be more detached from the fans if they tried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
