Playing extra time and taking their mind of the league ....no bad thing

One wee bit of good news ... Pars are out of the challenge cup on pens at home to Alloa

Think read a few pages back it was meant to be towards the end of this year but has been postponed until early next year. This board is a joke; not only do they hide from the fans and put up two guys on loan and a total newbie at the meet the fans event but they won't even face shareholders....absolute disgrace. Their desire to hold on to their roles remind me of rats clinging to the wreckage of a sinking ship. The Teflon Army will allow nothing to stick.

When is our AGM?

I tend to agree with you. I think Hartley was nervous about the popularity of, in particular, Lee Miller with the fans. His inability to work with senior professionals may well have been reflected in his recruitment policy where he brought in either wee laddies or old duffers who couldn't get a contract anywhere else.

Has some one just out conspiracy theoried Duncan Freemason?

I really haven't a clue what he does...wait a minute didn't he made a threat to sue a group fans once about a lapsed copyright.....maybe that's his job? Or is it arranging friendlies in Wales and Budapest that don't happen...maybe its that

Interesting

From the Herald Newspaper 27/09/2017: " FALKIRK chair Margaret Lang insists “significant changes” are required at the club following the departure of Peter Houston if a return promotion back to the Premiership is to be secured under a new manager. Lang said: “With new chief executive Craig Campbell, the board is determined to get our club back into the Premiership – and to stay there. “Craig and I have been in our roles for only some 90 days, but we know that significant changes need to take place to enable us to win promotion.” Well they have failed!! In my job there are performance appraisals.....Would anyone like to give a 360 degree review of Ms Lang and Mr Campbell's achievement of targets? Let's face it they have been there for 15 months

I'm sure its been covered somewhere in the previous 3140 thread pages; but what exactly was the Lee Miller / Hartley issue? Was it simply that Big Sexy saw through the numpty Hartley and his PE Teacher mate?

Well in player pay terms I think the National League in England is probably better than the Scottish Championship (sadly)

Surely even they know the only play off we are looking at is the one to stay in the championship.

Great minds LoL

Who is paying the rest?

From the BBC commentary of QoS v. Alloa "Stephen Dobbie scored his fourth hat-trick of the season as Queen of South fought back from three goals down to draw with Alloa Athletic." How does the boy get into his house for hat-trick balls..... But seriously a club much smaller than the Bairns who would dream of selling our number of season tickets or getting out average gate can get a player like this. I wish people would stop the rubbish about us being a small club.... we have small minds that's all

Great minds think alike LoL

Based on today, would anyone notice if they downed tools?

Very honest interview from Ray; I think there must be a few players wondering about their future after his candid comments. I think that there has been far too much sugar coating so far this season. Reading between the lines it's obviously time to shape up or ship out.... the players must now know this. Let's hope they react positively to their manager's warnings otherwise they know the alternative.

I can't believe of the attraction of either Raith or Dumbarton and doubt either pay more than the Championship, Premier League or anywhere in England,,,,, but I may be wrong??

Where is Luca Gasparotto these days I understand he was released by Morton at the end of last season? And Robbie Mutch is technically at the Sons

Scott Shepard; Robbie Thomson: Kevin O'Hara to name three

That's what you call an executive director

Is the COE unpaid? He is on the BoD

Let's face it any club should try and move on players not performing to the standard to take the club forward and replace them with players who can. Unfortunately, Hartley decided to throw the baby out with the bath water and then unmitigatedly failed to bring in anyone better. We lost the heart of our club through his arrogance and lack of football management ability.

Dallison and Harrison really contribute very little and quite scare me witless when ever the ball comes anywhere near them. Ray has a hell of a job ahead of him. My concern is who will be available come January, will we have the cash to pay/buy them and will they want to come to a club staring relegation in the face and therefore unable to commit to their future. Hartley and his mates definitely did one hell of a job on us. The BoD accepted their gospel hook line and sinker. But they are the Teflon Army and nothing sticks.....Later days untouchables. They accept no blame despite the fact we are adrift at the bottom of the league......They followed a process so they are in the clear....At least in their eyes. We need a new BoD, untarnished by the last year, to take over and take our club forward. But unfortunately, Ms Lang and her CEO seem to want to cling to power irrespective of he views of the fans; the people who actually buy season tickets, strips and hospitality. Have respect for the Club, the fans and yourselves and GO NOW,
