3-2 Rovers after trailing with five minutes left.

Hope he brings Stevie May with him.

Selling our best player in January has worked so well in the past.

Credit has to go to Nuijten btw. Veldman wouldn’t have taken four points from United and Dunfermline. Whilst we’re still miles from where we need to be, he’s definitely improved things and the players are playing for him. Everyone knew their job last night. Whilst I wouldn’t be giving him the job, I hope there’s still a role for him at the club. Definitely has a bit about him.

Dempster away.

Tangible feeling of elation and joy post-match. You sit for weeks/months and question what the f**k you’re doing and a spirited performance and three points hooks you back and makes you feel like you’ve just won the Champions League.
Don’t care how shite Dunfermline were and how many injuries they had. It was about us tonight. C’mon the fuckin Queen’s.

Wonder if he might switch Summers and Moffat. Summers was utterly burst by full time.
Whatever combination of what ever you do here won’t matter. It’ll be effective enough. Just clip it down the side, either cut it back and slot it in, or loft it onto the head of an attacker who will score from a stationary position.

are you better or worse than when we won 2-0 at Hampden earlier in the season?
We were absolutely shite that day, so I wouldn’t say worse but I also wouldn’t say better.

Just completely exhausted by it all now tbh. 1-3.

It leaves David Hunter to be the guy negotiating transfers.
My understanding is that someone else is informally, for the time being, involved in that side of things. Wouldn’t like to name any names or drop any hints.

It looks likely that we’ll see a reasonable amount of change at the club within the next week or so, but let’s keep in mind that that all of this is the result of complete mismanagement and any attempts at painting this as a brave new dawn should be loudly scoffed at. There has been no accountability for any of the numerous shambles that have occurred since we turned pro. If we go with business as usual, we cannot expect different outcomes.
I have reservations about the structure of the club, but that’s one for the longer term. The structure is the structure and that’s what we currently have to work with. With that in mind, we obviously need fresh blood and fresh ideas when it comes to decision making. I’ll be backing Lynne and David for the committee and would urge every other member who is feeling disillusioned to do the same. If you can’t make it to the AGM, make your vote count with a proxy. The result may or may not be successful, but it’s important that a strength of feeling is shown. We can either do something or do nothing. The latter is only going to see the same things continuing to happen.
It’s notable that two of the sitting members didn’t submit statements in support of their candidacies and I’m also told that there have been deals offered and rejected to one or more of the new candidates. It really is very grubby stuff and says an awful lot about how certain factions within the club view their own positions and, indeed, the voice of the membership.

An unmitigated disaster, driven by people who are all “project” and no football, forgetting that the latter is the most important part in terms of delivering on the former.
With our resources, we should be having a solid season, maybe not troubling the top four, but certainly not being at risk of going down. Big over performance on the park last season, the opposite this season. A complete clusterfuck off it and everyone involved in the decision making should be embarrassed.

Thanks to the kids school holidays extending my visit home, this will be my first game if the season. I'd love to be category 1 but probably category 3. See you there!
Unforeseen circumstances mean that I’m no longer attending. Hopeful that I miss something ridiculous happening, but just can’t see it.

There is an obvious opportunity for grovelling and begging here. He had guys who were toiling in League One flying in the Championship and gave us some unbelievable highs. We must to ask the question, even if it’s only to be laughed at.

Just me or does anyone else think Nuijten just sounds broken in the pre-match vid.
Airdrie game killed his chances of getting the gig and it looks like he knows it. A win off the back of the United game might have put him in the frame.

Queens held DUFC to 0-0
Not a stretch to achieve at least the same against our underperforming team
Doubt it. You’ve got our number. Clip it down the sides, cut it back, score.

How the f**k did you guys end up in this state off the park,, did you see this coming or did the blazers blind you with full-time football, training ground , SPL etc, to me Haughey and Dempster are the organ grinders and the blazers are the safe in position puppets with no relative power or heart to challenge "the man"..
How far are you guys prepared to go to get your club back...
The stadium shambles and the silence and eventual lies about it has been the main driver. Nobody at the club willing to front up. The only visible presence you see engaging with punters on a Saturday is Kieran Koszary. Dempster and the committee are nowhere. We’re so bound by the antiquated membership guff, that it’s a complex operation to untie the knots. Don’t know where we go, but there’s no way the status quo can hold over the medium to long term. Completely unfit for purpose.

Still searching for the uplifting New Year message from both the President and CEO thanking us for our support and mapping out the planned success for 2024.
- Make sure their mates are re-elected.
- Avoid or deflect legitimate questions and criticisms.- Go immediately back into hiding.

At least two of the three.

Will be our lowest ever Firhill support. Be lucky if we take 200. Will only be the habituals, the lunatics and the people who hate life. See you in the Star and Garter.

How much influence does Haughey have, is it his way or the highway or is he just the money man and let's be honest if there is nothing in it for Willie he will scuttle it, it's what he does..
Any Haughey questions will be deftly danced around. All difficult questions are. Transparency is a huge issue and it’s the structure of the club that allows it to be this way.
The honest truth is that the status quo suits the hierarchy. We can pretend that “anyone can become a member” as if it’s as simple as that. Needing existing members to propose and second people is an instant “nah, yer awrite” for most people inhabiting this planet in 2023. People want a say in their football club, not to join the masons or Whitecraigs Golf Club. We can pretend it’s open, but it’s not the perception.

The urgency for a new manager being put in place increases every day. I hope those lucky enough to be invited to the AGM are able to ask the questions of the committee as to why the process is taken (or hopefully by then) had taken so long. I like Paul but he seems a little out of his depth at the moment but wouldn’t be against him remaining as part of the coaching staff.
I’ve said before I’m keen that it’s Tam Courts who takes over, but right now I’m doubting we’re any closer to having someone in place than we were the day Robin left.
They’ve been asked questions before. It doesn’t matter. The structure of the club is utterly absurd in 2023. The only reason to retain the status quo seems to be “it’s the way we’ve always done it.”
I’ll be voting for a couple of new faces, but ultimately we’re kidding ourselves if we think we can continue to run the club like this and expect anything to change. We have lurched between disaster and shambles off the pitch for the past few years. Haughey’s money has acted as a sticking plaster for some utterly spectacular mismanagement.

Until we have a serious conversation about the structure of the football club, we’re going nowhere. So many folk with non-jobs at the club, enjoying perks and contributing the sum total of nothing. There is no accountability for anything.
There will be elections to the committee in the coming weeks and there will be folk who I’m backing, but regardless of what happens, anyone who thinks the wider support has any confidence in the current hierarchy is kidding themselves. Not that they actually care about that sort of thing.
We don’t actually know if our manager is our manager and we don’t know what stadium we’re playing at next season. We’re also bottom of the league through a mixture of complete arrogance and utter delusion. We deserve it tbh. Club needs gutted from top to bottom.

Could be completely wrong, but I reckon Haughey is smashing the “f**k it” button and properly going for it here.
Why would Davidson knock back a Premiership team and decide a few months later that he really fancied a relegation scrap in the Championship? Would he really come here for League One or mid-table Championship football next season? He has a reputation to repair.
