Homer Thompson Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I heard that the Generator's contract is up this summer, the Chairman refuses to speak to the Generator so it said "f**k this" and gave a less than 100% performance. Judging by the smoke, in put in more of an effort than most of the players last night 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk & Disorderly Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Even if the Queenies didn't turn the floodlights off deliberately (which I can't help but suspect they did), surely a fine is in order for insufficiently maintaining their ground? A points deduction may be the SFL's course of action mind you, as they maybe slightly sceptical as to how Queens could actually pay a fine whilst carrying the burden of debts in excess of a million quid.... None the less, I second George Adams call for an official investigation. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamski Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Even if the Queenies didn't turn the floodlights off deliberately (which I can't help but suspect they did What on earth would we do that for? Incompetent and embarrassing, absolutely. But nothing to gain from doing anything underhand. Part of me would take a points deduction to get us out of the league and some of the skelpings that we're on course to be on the end of next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Best place for this I suppose. From the OS - Hope I'm not breaking any of your rules Mr X. http://www.qosfc.com...aspx?newsid=593 I'm not really sure that it means much beyond its admission of mistakes. We're also being prepared to see lots of Under-19s next year. Detailed communication like this should probably be welcomed though.

Let's hope it means the end of motormouth who has done more to harm the club than anyone. If he had kept his gob shut, played 4 at the back when he could and gave the boys more games we might have finished in our best position yet and he would still be here next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this had been put out several weeks ago, or something similar, maybe some of the 'bad blood' between fans and the club and some of the confusion and chinese whispers could have been avoided. Lets hope its not too late and this announcement goes some way to building those bridges again Let's hope it means the end of motormouth who has done more to harm the club than anyone.

But, just think, you'll get a nice new manager to whinge about instead ... how exciting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 But, just think, you'll get a nice new manager to whinge about instead ... how exciting! I'm sure he doesn't need my help, but I'd tend to defend Kirky here. The fact that he's found plenty to "whinge" about with regard to the last two managers doesn't mean he'll always moan about whoever's in charge. It just means that he's in possession of some critical faculties. That's actually not a bad thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 It is a very well worded statement, and one I feel did need to be released. The late timing of it though just confirms what we know about the board, that they are reactive and not proactive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirky has been (rightly or wrongly) a steadfast critic of every manager (and the appointment process thereof) we've had since Connolly. That's four anyway. I can't recall if he was posting far enough back to have critiqued Connolly and, if so, what his opinion was. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the exercising of critical faculties to me. Edited April 25, 2011 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall if he was posting far enough back to have critiqued Connolly and, if so, what his opinion was. I can't remember the last decent manager we had. Connolly was ok but I felt the fans never really got behind him. The appointment process is key IMO. See who applies and pick the best candidate. Money is going to be tight but we need someone who can do a good job. At least I don't bad mouth the managers once they've gone unlike some on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be difficult for me to do so. I'm not really guilty of doing so after they are gone either though. I did suggest the last time we needed a manager that you be invited to join the application sifting process to save the criticism later. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qos_75 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 What happend to Connolly after St.Johnstone? The last time I seen him was at New Broomfield for our home European match. I can't recall him managing again and I am sure I heard he was working for a golfing magazine. It does seem strange that he would completely pack football in though. You never know, he might fancy a crack at it again if Brannigan leaves at the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katboy Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Sure I remember reading that he was also running a scouting company. The idea was that clubs who for whatever reason could not afford their own scouting system could "hire" a scout to watch their upcoming oppositon & signing targets etc who would then send a detailed report of the findings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connolly was exactly what the club needed at the time, and we owe him a huge debt for the work he did, but I wouldnt take him back in a million years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
