Louis longridge captain? Probably the last player I'd ever give the captain's armband to. Turns up once in a blue moon.
The moon is blue!

A pie? Must have missed that. It was a cup of tea and a biscuit but we don't even get that anymore.
Wow! Sorry about that.

This. When will be get some transparency?
Does membership not have to be paid on an annual basis? Why would a member be allocated shares if their membership expires on an annual basis. It is not much different to a season ticket with voting rights is it not? Not forgetting the pie at half time.

I would be happy with a draw. With suspensions and injuries we will field on paper a much weakened team. Kilday to right back, Fox in centre back, and Davidson to defensive midfield. Up front is anybody's guess. Is Murray injured or just not fancying the cold weather? Will McHugh get any support and a bit of luck? How many times will we hit the woodwork. Can Willie Muir play up front? Like I say, will be happy with a draw.

Can someone please explain to me where the Committee and members fit in with the decision making and running of the club. It seems to me that Dempster and Lord Willie can do what they like. Not complaining, I am genuinely curious and question the need for the "old style" committee/member system. Are shares and shareholders the next step?

Jeez-o! Is this the inclusive community plan?
Don't we know just how to treat people. The resident should be happy. We fans don't get any communication.

Hope the new DoF can play in central defence.

'So Laurie, thoughts on the game?'
'Disappointing, the lads are disappointed. We just need to pick it up, train hard and work on things.'
I know everyone is trying their best but could we please make the after match interview a bit more interesting. It's as if they have been told not to ask any pointed questions. I also think it would help Ellis as he comes across as cold. Surely the team, fans and QP media are all in this together. Let's get a bit more honest and open about things.
Rant over. Disappointing but I will work hard and pick things up.
Both the pre match review and post match interview are a completely staged or incompetent waste of time in my opinion. We could all write the script for the remaining matches of the season now. Pathetic.

Davie only a sub tonight up at Brechin. Darvel must have some team.

To be fair Wullie would not have come for that ball. I doubt if any keeper would when it was struck directly at our defender (Morrison) who was more intent in trying to muscle the opponent rather than watch the ball and head it clear.

Nothing changes for defending set pieces.

I think the Fox situation has come to a head today. I don't really care about today's game, we are not going to win the cup but the selection clearly shows to me that there has to be a major fall out between Fox and Ellis. I do not think we will see Fox starting a game again. Would much prefer to see Ellis go and keep Fox.

Another in a steady stream of sponsorship announcements. Whilst it’s positive news, it’s also tone deaf and completely indicative of the disconnect between the club and the fans. Nothing on the stadium. Nothing addressing the poor results. Nothing addressing basically any of the substantive issues that fans care about. We were promised improved communication. We were lied to.
Said it before and I’ll say it again, if you can’t connect with the people who already love the club, you’re not going to connect with anyone else. I already know how this one is going to go. Existing supporters being accused of being uncomfortable with change, which would be bollocks. We voted for the change. All we require is the occasional acknowledgement from the club that we actually exist.
Exactly this. I am not a member but season ticket holder. I feel like a mushroom. I hope it will be a lively AGM. I can tolerate a lot of things but being lied to and taken for granted I cannot take.

FYI --- for anyone who had the unfortunate experience of the live stream for this game and having approached Peterhead FC myself regarding same ---they have admitted liability for a very poor standard of coverage and issued a full refund ----may I suggest (if you haven't already) doing likewise as this is the only way the quality of any future coverage is going to get any better.....
Fair play to Peterhead. Not sure all teams would have done that.

Don’t agree with a lot of this. This squad is more than good enough to be winning games of football in this league. Ellis has inherited and added to one of the better sides in the division and is not getting nearly enough out of it. Where Dempster’s blame comes in is that she appointed him and green lighted the structures around him.
I think we do agree. That was the very point I was making about the squad. They are good enough to be contenders but Ellis is not good enough to bring it together.

I think the club will be quite content with Ellis. He is the Patsy chosen by Dempster to fulfil Haughey's wishes about promoting good for the local community and giving him a lasting legacy in the Southside. Football comes second to people like that. The problem now is who would want to come and take on the hot seat to be told that the first team is playing second fiddle to personal ambitions away from the pitch? In many ways I feel sorry for Ellis, although he seems incapable of helping himself with the squad he has. Our club is slowly being destroyed by these people. We may regret picking up Haughey's golden egg.

Starting Murray was the weakest bit of management imaginable. McHugh has been in decent form. The reason for Murray’s absence against Dumbarton is an open secret and his petulance at Cove has cost us in recent games.
Green lighting him straight back into the team basically tells the guy he can do what he wants and it doesn’t really matter how McHugh or any other striker plays. Stealing a wage at present.
Do tell, please.

A clueless manager. Not all on him, though. A title winning manager left in the summer. People within the club contributed to that decision. People who were giving it the big one about Championship and Premiership dreams in the summer. Hubris.
Spot on!

If we don’t sack Sheerin before our next game it’s shocking. He’s a tit.
Can we do you a swap? Tit for Tit.

Can someone please explain why Fox is not starting…has there been a fallout with the manager ? Is he not fit enough to play ? Very frustrating. What will the manager say in his interview after the match…nothing new I suspect. Season could be over very soon .
One thing's for sure you won't get any information from the club. I am so sad to see the club I have supported for 70 years descend to be run by this bunch of arrogant self centred plonkers. A burger and chips and a bottle of beer does not cut it for me.

I think it is time the club re-thinks its priorities. First team needs a lot of attention before the community loses interest.
