Have restrained from commenting so far this season but the silence is defaning from the usual crowd of so called supporters that constantly big club up, once again that was a joke today

When some of these boy's first signed they had been told they were getting more than £10 a week only to find out at the last minute that would not be the case. Some of them had turned down other offers from clubs, so they had no option but to agree. Many have left or are leaving but this is down to another issue which has nothing to do with further education. These boys are not only used for cleaning the stadium they do coaching for the club in & out of schools & have also being used for painting, turnstiles on match days, delivering & giving out flyers etc, etc. All for £10 a week, in my opinion it is a disgrace & also morally wrong on every level.

Awful apart from 3rd kit, same old plain & boring. Away kit's a shocker.

He is a tricky winger who has had trials with a few English clubs & won young player of the year in the Evo-Stik league this season. Obviously a few Blyth Spartans players have come to light this season due to their FA cup run with one signing for Carlisle United. 3 or 4 also went up to Alloa & were invited back but declined the offer. Rivers come up through the Middlesbrough academy system until they released him & currently works in his family's newsagents I am led to believe.

Queens park played very young team & went down to 10 men early after having lad sent off

Firstly, everything outsider says is true, though to be honest he's only pointing out the tip of the iceberg. You say your are in no position to comment & you have no involvement. Strange that you always have a comment to make whenever the topic is raised, so makes me wonder why !!! These so called vague accusations as you call them are fact, otherwise why would people like outsider etc say it. As for grievances being directed at the club, I don't blame the club itself it's just a very few individuals within the club that for whatever reason seem to be untouchable & god help anyone who dare question them. Like I have said before the club is doing so much right on & off the field going forward & I commend that, but some people are not & blatantly getting away with it.

Wouldn't call it petty, just pointing out facts like many others have. Though I do find it amusing that you try & constantly belittle anything that is true & posted about it by anybody. I wonder why !!!

So not only are they getting little to no training, they are used to deliver flyers now. You couldn't make it up.

That's not how this has been done unfortunately, prepare to be shocked & disappointed.

Don't be so sure, it depends on how many tickets are sold. From what I have heard they are not selling as expected, hence all the advertising.

Maybe not

You make a very valid & correct point, It's great that they have Fowler or sometimes Burns or Jim there on match days to give them some guidance & instruction, though that is the only time they see the lads as they have no involvement in any training that takes place apart from Jim on the very odd occasion, hence they don't pick the squads or teams for the games. I think everybody in & around it knows the problem but for whatever reason nothing is being done as yet. It's such a shame as I think Queens are getting so much right on & off the pitch as a club going forward at the moment but someone seems to be turning a blind eye regarding this matter.

Third defeat on the bounce, last night to a team bottom of the league who had only won once all season. Don't like losing to Annan on any level to be honest. Haha, to be fair he is defiantly not the one to blame as he has had very little involvement with the group over the last month or so.

He hardly got the last 20 minutes of any games, but from what I have seen he has shown more than a glimmer that he could be a player. As for getting the game by the scruff of the neck & making a difference in 20 minute or less, this would be a difficult task for any top player never mind a championship one. Though I agree seeing someone like Kidd picked in front of you would defiantly make you realise your day's are just about up.

Of course the last 20 minutes or less in games isn't enough. Do you honestly think you can just come on as a sub & get up with the pace of the game straight away. Any player will tell you that you need a run of games to gain match fitness & then be judged. Don't know what games you have watched him in but I don't recall him constantly giving the ball away in the limited times he's been on. Do you think that Kidd deserved to play in front of him & when he did he done well ?

He has started 2 games out of the last 24 so can't see how he has been given enough game time, though you say he was ok in one of those two games but disappointing every other time he has appeared ? See above, don't understand your Charlie quote but starting to understand with your replies to some of my posts that you are a bit of a prat

Personally I don't think that's the case as good player always seem to find time & space whatever the tempo, just don't think he was given the run of games he deserved. Hope he does well, a good run of games can only be beneficial for him & his match fitness

If he does indeed end up on loan with you I would be very surprised if you have any better footballers than him. I will also bet after a few games you will be wondering how you have managed to get him on loan & why he isn't involved at Queen's.

Speaking to parents weeks ago apparently Berry, Ferguson & Slattery so far. Apparently Dykes would not of stayed anyway for some of the same reason's the others are leaving.

Heard he was returning to oz for good this week, so if that's the case can't understand why he was even considered to be involved last night, though as previously said on here some are still being included that have already informed club staff that are leaving at the end of the season anyway ?. From what I have seen Pickards strongest position is striker or just off the striker. From last nights showing I think Mitchell could step in on Saturday though McKenna looked way off. Hooper always stands out in these games for me. Shame it doesn't look like it's going to work out for Kev, as in my opinion he is a very good footballer, though for whatever reason has never been given a decent run of games.

I listened to it also & he's had no choice but to put it to bed. And just for the record I do like Fowler & think he's a good manager that will get better if allowed to do things his way.

The reason how & why it happened & the resulting departure. These things go on at training grounds & in changing rooms up & down the country all the time but they never normally end in a player having to leave the club.

Agree with all of that. I can understand why Baird was got rid of though Kerr was a totally different situation. People seem to be convinced it was engineered by him & slag him off but they are really missing the point of what happened and why. At the end of the day Fowler had to take a side & rightly or wrongly for his reasons he chose not to take Kerr's.

As I understand it the dev squad players are also used for cleaning the ground after home games as well as manning turnstiles etc on match days.
