'Queen's Park v Airdrie - the season's climax'
I sincerely hope that it will be the climax HD, and you are not a bit premature

Reading through this thread I realised that we have only won 3 tournament games in the last 40 years. I also realised that I was at all of them. I'm fully booked with tickets to be at all the games in Germany and when we win one of them (just one mind you) I will immediately be on here to take the credit. In the meantime I hope I can get over this injury in time to go.

get playing Thomson in defence if you're playing him in that Libero role, but he isn't, he's playing on the left of Tizzard, who in turn is being shored up on the right by Wilson
Eh?

A well thought out and measured response. Were you on the planning team for lesser hampden refurb?
You called him a lamb. He managed to do a lamb impression, take the sting out of your insult and get your goat. All with just 3 letters. Measured indeed!

The house is smack bang in the middle of Kirkhill and Burnside.
The queues at kings park ok after the game?
Brownside Road?
Even if there are queues you might still best with this route as you are going away from the city.

If you live near Newton or Kirkhill stations get the train from kings park. No point walking to Croftfoot it's the same train

Not buying the unsettled theme and think it more an attitude problem after being dropped to the bench

I don't think 'attitude problems' are generally dealt with by releasing players from their contract obligations. That would start other players thinking. I also don't think homesick 21 year old's parents advise them to wait until the transfer window to mention how they are feeling to those leading them at the club. Especially if the salesman that sold you the dream has left the country. Looks now like some planning has been in place

Is it related to possession in some way?

Pretty sure IM is gonna have options in the Premiership soon enough...either with Raith or where ever.
To be fair I only used Murray as an example as bait for you sir/madam. I am with Zanetti however in that I believe money talks. Another however, however is that I'm not sure if we have any.

All the candidates mentioned on here are currently out of work. We put in an interim solution before while we waited for Owen Coyle. I wonder if we might go that way again. Maybe just take someone with a bit of nous to give us a fighting chance of staying in the division on a short term basis with a view to throwing some of the money that everyone is convinced we have at someone who's contract is due to end in the summer. Someone like Ian Murray perhaps?

For some reason, I started reminiscing about the Trumpton firemen for a bit there….
You will be of course referring to the 90s rave classic 'A Trip to Trumpton' by Urban Hype. (Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub, I feel the heat) Glow sticks at the ready.... No one is actually old enough to remember actually watching Trumpton'.

After the previous Raith game and our current run of results I get the added frustration but I observe winning teams in tight games making last minute substitutions week in week out. Often just to waste time or break up rhythm. I think in these days of squads and 5 subs that the starting eleven is unlikely to be (should not be) the strongest eleven by the time you get to 80 minutes. If must blame something, blame the vision, blame the DOF. Blame our benefactor, blame the committee, blame the budget, blame the bench, blame our 'experienced players' blame the youth of today. Veldman did what coaches usually do.

I even wonder if the substitutions are an easy target. Had Veldman kept McPherson and Dom Thomas on the pitch and the same result happens then he’d have been lambasted for not managing the game properly aswell
This is 100% the case. I am going to suggest that our 2nd half game plan was to concentrate on our right and for McPherson and Thomas to work their socks off to create opportunities with the understanding that they would not necessarily need to stay on the park for the full 95 minutes. 75 minutes so far so good.
Murray sees where this gives him an opportunity and sticks on Dylan Eason - a very good player to be able to bring on - and tells him to stay out on the left wing (first time I have seen Eason play so wide)
Now Raith are getting traction on our left so Veldman puts on the guys that have been training all week to do this job. Mauchin gives it his best shot - and does OK. Healy is not up to Eason and gets done and Fox let's his man get too much space. The coach can only work with the tools that he has.

sounds like you are actually asking me a question so here's my answer. We had 11 players on the pitch and at least 10 of them are mature enough to continuously play and compete at this level. When I saw the starting eleven, I agreed this was our strongest team barring any current injuries. This 11 train all week to play only once a week and again barring bans or injuries should be able to consistently do so all season. There is no reason to replace any of them with any of the kids on the bench
Sorry for late reply. Some other posters have further and better reinforced my position I was indeed asking, so I appreciate the answer which is that you would not have made any subs from that bench. I can see why you said that but Thomas - whom I feel sometimes looks like our only real creative force -was out on his feet and Veldman only really had Healy who regularly came on as a sub last season as a like for like replacement. Healy had a poor game. That is primarily Healy's fault. Unless we sign different players a different manager might need to make the same decisions.

Unlike Veldman, I wouldn't put the blame on any of the boys who played today (except maybe Hepburn, who failed to get in the game after he came on). This is 100% on Veldman just like it has been for the last 10 games without a win. And it's simply mind-boggling to hear him say that he is disappointed in the team and that this is "men's football, not boys' football", when he was the one who replaced the "men" on the pitch with children yet again today when all we needed was maturity and composure. Managers who lose games like this start by apologising to the fans instead of saying how disappointed they are in the team. What a p***k!
I don't think Veldman signed any of these players. His job is to coach and develop them in to better players as part of a cohesive team playing a contemporary style of football. He also needs to be mindful of the commitments made to players when they signed for us. And looking at the subs list below who would you have put on that you would be happy not to call children?

The bollocks on Ross Millen, given he has done panenka penalties in the past, to go and do it against a former team. I'd imagine there were a few Queens Park fans who were screaming that they knew what was coming.
Yes indeed you are spot on. I was telling everyone around me he was going to Panenka it. The bigger the pressure, the greater the glory the more likely Ross will go for the Panenka

Someone asked earlier, and I'm wondering too. Why are QP back playing at big HumpDump? Thought you were meant to now be at Lesser Hampden? Whats the holdup with that, and why back at the biggy when was at Stenhousemuir last season?
Sigh.... It's an enigma. Isn't it?

Having watched the highlights I have a couple of observations.
1. Our 2nd goal came from passing out from the back with Spong taking the ball under pressure from Ferrie on the 18 yard line. Once he had turned his opponent the game opened out in front of him. This is what we were working towards and I believe it's the way to go.
2. Several posters have questioned Robson for their second but it looks like the main culprit was Thomas. He is the guy bombing forward on their kick off and Robson just stands up to the guy on the ball who passes it wide to the player Thomas should have been watching. Watch who Thomson berates and Spong looks at. It's not Robson. The players know.

Agreed, but in RV's defence, Alex needs to be able to signal that he's crocked. If unable to signal, the first time the ball is out of play he should drop to the ground and wait for treatment.
Absolutely agree. Also Alex refused treatment when the physio was waiting at the side of the pitch. He was also asked - I think by Robson - if the subs waiting should come on and he confirmed all was good so Robson communicated that to the bench.

The season started with us losing goals to the opposition's press and ended with us scoring goals from our own press. By my reckoning we will now spend (at least) three consecutive seasons in a division that's not the bottom division for the first time since before the second world war.
Happy days
