Nobody is having a pop at the boy, but we have all seen a similar synopsis before. Attack minded young player from bigger club, highly rated. Hasn’t ended well once during the pro era. It does have a whiff of “oh f**k, we desperately need to get literally anyone in.”

Queens’s Park
Completely mental behaviour on January 31

A relegation dogfight at the bottom of the Championship isn’t an attractive prospect for players with a decent pedigree. January is hellish for doing decent business at the best of times. Nobody to blame but ourselves, I’m afraid.

The only way guys like Healy or Williamson have a sniff of a chance of making it is by going and playing somewhere every week. Jumping from the juniors to the Championship, to then sit on the bench is the perfect recipe for stagnation.

I’m not prone to slaughtering refs because what’s the point? However, that’s absolutely brutal. Every single point could be the difference between us staying in this league or not. You cannot get a decision as simple as that wrong. We can look at the wall etc. as well, but the referee has to do his job properly there. Should be a demotion or a couple of weeks sitting out for that one.

It is good to see that although he no longer posts on P+B that the new President still reads it.
The QPSA contacted the Safety and Security Manager. New committee member also took it forward.

Ayr fans now moved.
Good stuff. Better for both sets of fans. Fair play to the club for engaging and listening. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Would that not be for the TV
Although it looked awful as if no one was there
In a way would it not be better to have both sets of fans in the North stand
We papped them down there on the Saturday as well. Ayr will bring at least as many.
This is what sort of pisses me off from a home fan perspective. We seem to have invested heavily in every area of the club, except for average punters. Spending exorbitant amounts on a royal box and investment in hospitality and then telling the plebs it’s too expensive to hire a few more stewards and open some more kiosks. It sort of says it all, really.
In terms of the North Stand, I’ve actually long thought this even going back to the League Two days. Couldn’t have a more natural segregation line and the view of the game for every single punter would be so much better. I’m sure there are £££ reasons for why that hasn’t or won’t happen, though.

On the segregation thing, I’ve never had any issue at all with Ayr fans, or indeed most other sets of fans, but it’s probably better for them if they’re down the other end as well for a marginally better view. Better for our fans who don’t want to spend half an hour in a queue at half-time as well.
Having to open more of the ground = more cost, which is probably what this is about. Segregation, but everyone congregating at the same bit at half-time has never made a huge amount of sense to me. Over the years, Ayr have always brought one of the bigger supports to Hampden, so it doesn’t really make sense to me that we put Dunfermline in the east section and not them.

Having a think there about transfer targets. I’d hope that we’ve been looking at the Northern Irish top flight as a possible source if we were to bring a few guys in. We saw with Cliftonville last season there’s some quality in the league. Guys like Craig Curran and Liam Boyce were quality additions for example.
If we can afford to coax guys from Southampton & Brighton up to Glasgow, it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine taking a punt on a couple guys from Belfast.
Aye. Even the League of Ireland has a few decent players kicking about. Definitely somewhere we should be watching. It also produced Johnny Kenny, of course.

Just had a march around my back garden, not much sunlight all day and the ground was certainly softening and a bit squishy in some areas. Wee bit rain would do great now, was spitting there.
Mad would fitba makes you do, that would otherwise be seen as a cause for concern. “Just away oot the back to feel the softness of the ground. Won’t be a minute!”

It is what it is. Scotland in January. I’ll certainly be giving it a good ten years before I have the brass neck to criticise or mock the infrastructure of another club.

Four degrees tomorrow, seven on Saturday, albeit with rainfall. Chances of this being on? Don’t know the full detail of how fucked or not your pitch is.

people normally like to whip out the phones in instances like this but so far nothing
Behave.

Absolutely appalling that stones were thrown at a QP bus yesterday. Absolutely indefensible and hopefully the culprits are caught and banned from Stark's Park.
If they were grown men, aye. Let he who hasn’t been a daft wee boy cast the first stone, so to speak, though.
It’s obviously not good at all, but just stick some cops up where the buses are and put the frighteners up them if they’re caught. You don’t think about consequences at that age and they’re probably just looking to get a chase.
It’s easy to say “wee b*****ds, ban them” but what does it achieve in the long run? Another couple of hours bored, with time to kill on a Saturday afternoon. Actually better to get them in and involved than do that. Not a reward by any means, but getting them to “volunteer” to do a bit of graft for a few weeks would be a better path imo.

Cutting edge analysis.
The team who scores most goals will win the game.

Felt that postponement might be beneficial to us. We’re certainly in a better spot than we were for the initial game. If we can get something at Stark’s Park, we can get something here. As with any fixture in this league, anything can happen.

Just want to say a good evening to any of the “but, but, but…” Perth bores who’ve been haunting us all week.

What a thoroughly silly sport. Lovely stuff.

Pleased to see a wee bit of progress in terms of elections to the committee. I hope it can open the door to greater discussions around structure and transparency. The days of electing people to hide away in a room without involving the wider support have to come to an end.
I’ve said from the very beginning of the huge change around Queen’s Park, that we couldn’t truly grow until it took the people who already care about the club along with them. That hasn’t happened. It’s still an imperative in terms of any success we might have in the future. This can still work, but it has to feel inclusive.

Quite an important night as the Club's AGM is being held.
There's been plenty of totally warranted flak going the Club's way in the past few years so hopefully people turn up and support those with an agenda for change who are standing for election.
Won’t make it, but the proxy is in. First time I’ve ever bothered with such a thing.

More likely we’re going to wait and see and judge him on the merits of what he does with us.
Aye. The idea that we’re getting a damage free manager is mental.

Perth Tories crying about a double cup winning manager, whilst lapping up the slop served by serial loser Levein. Up the road, lads.

It’s going to be very, very tight imo.
