Well that at least explains it. You felt even a bad cameraman had to get lucky some of the time. Shame nobody from the club was watching as that could have been picked up in the first 5 minutes and fixed

The above arguments about the pros and cons of being full time over part time seem to assume it’d only be us dropping down to part time. Isn’t it possible that a few more championship clubs could be forced into this move?

Really? I’m not saying Palmy isn’t good but I know two guys who won’t go to Cappielow because they’re over 6 feet and can’t fit in the seats. You have to rule it out on that basis. The one time we got on the terrace in the rain and it was taps aff can’t make up for a shit stand

I was buying a car in East Kilbride about 10 years ago. Bob Harris was buying a car with his mate at the next table. Was just after nordsjaelland. My wife recognised him which I was quite impressed by. Not from his goal though. She said “Isn’t that the guy who cried on the telly?”

My main concern is that we are all getting so good at hand washing that no one gets Coronavirus and this delay phase goes on for several years!

Missed the ICT game but on the basis of the two previous away games it doesn’t feel like we’ve chucked it and I can see us putting together an edge of the seat 1-0 victory here.

Yep this. Had to watch it several times. Ross gets his foot in front of the defenders challenge to turn it from a risky tackle into a penalty. Difficult to be too harsh on the defender though as he had to do something or it was getting cut across the goal for a tap in.

Would have been hilarious if we’d nicked that at the end after the pen incident. Would have been undeserved but have to say a very decent away crowd under the current circumstances and didn’t see any evidence of non tryers tonight. Keeper played well. Dobbie looked tired and off the pace and probably should have been replaced earlier. Oliver didn’t really last the 90 either .

Dobbie to score in 3rd minute tonight

Breaking News: All large sporting gatherings have been cancelled due to Coronavirus. See you at Firhill.

It’s natural to want change at the top when things aren’t going well but that’s not really an option unless you have an alternative waiting in the wings. I don’t know the chairman at all but you really couldn’t get any bigger Queens men than Craig and Mark. If anything it feels like we are a bit short on numbers in the boardroom.

See your RR and raise you QP

In the media yes, but on this thread the ref is getting a lot of stick. Deserves a bit of stick but you’re right it’s the panel system that’s flawed

I looked up the video out of interest because they were making such a big fuss of it on off the ball. Think you are being way too harsh on the Referee here. On the behind the goal camera it’s not obvious there’s any contact and he looks like he goes down quite enthusiastically. From the opposite angle there’s clearly some contact . From the refs angle he probably sees the enthusiastic fall and makes an assumption if he hasn’t seen the contact. Sounds like the SFA has come to its senses though and is looking at it again.

I don't think that makes sense on several counts. What has he done to not show commitment? Sure hes done some things that lots of us disagree with but that's not a lack of commitment, a lack of clarity maybe or even of common sense, but not commitment. Not sure he came crawling back either. We were surely down last season if we hadn't sacked Naysmith. The only thing I disagreed with at the time was the manner, not the action. It felt like Johnstone got the mojo back into a lost squad for the play offs. He's had a pretty slim squad to pick from this season although I think its fair to say we are underperforming all the same. Losing the keeper was unfortunate but a big blow and if I say I' not worried about being relegated its more because in a sense I'm slightly looking forward to something different next season.

Agree about the penalty but that was a dive and deserved a booking IMO

There's always a lot of chat on here about why the crowds are dwindling and what can be done to stop this. I was looking at our squad with the recent comings and goings and was thinking that apart from Dobbie I really don't feel all that connected to any of them any more. To be fair I've not lived in the town for over 30 years and have never been a season ticket holder, but back in the 80s I used to go to 15-20 matches a season but that's been going down fairly steadily since then to maybe half a dozen these days. There's reasons other than football that I don't get down to Dumfries as much as I'd like but I'm absolutely certain that the huge turnover of players every season is a big factor in my deteriorating attendance. Back in the day we seemed to have players on longer term contracts and even the occasional testimonial and you felt like you knew the likes of Andy Aitken and Jim Thomson, even Dougie Mills and he was no player, but nowadays we don't seem to be able to hang onto anyone for more than a season and a half. I know theres financial reasons for that to an extent but it seems to affect us worse than some other clubs and I'm sure I cant be alone in feeling disconnected. This isn't a gripe about the board at all - and I'm not sure there even is a solution.

Indeed

Looking on the positive side, just for a change, I suppose back at the start of the season someone had said we can get this really top class young keeper in on loan until January, there wouldn't have been that many who said no, lets stick with what weve got.

Looked to be taken out from behind from my view behind the goal. I was assuming it was some interpretation of that rule that says it’s no longer a red card if you also give a penalty. But it’s never been all that clear to me how that works. Doubt there would have been much argument if he’d gone.

I thought we had! Anyone see what happened at the end? Presuming it was cleared off the line but clearly not everyone in the home end thought so...

Is it no about time you changed your profile pic Flash? Not Moriarty any more

PItch was so much better back then too....

Just watched the highlights as wasn't at the game. Maybe not the best angle but its hard to see any definite contact. Not sure you could call it a stonewaller from that but maybe more obvious from the Portland Road angle.

ANy highlights out yet? Thought our keeper might have been lucky not to give away a penalty in a melee in our box second half.
