I’ve not seen the interview you’re referring to but will try find it online. It’s the half time interview I assume. That’s scary stuff however if the super professional Chief Exec plan is to wing it.
Dempster spoke about premiership football when she arrived in L2. Now there’s no plan if we get there years later? What the f**k does she actually do? I’m bemused at every turn with her, I find it so incompetent.
As I’ve said in other posts, I can accept a volunteer making an error or two but this is a highly paid ‘professional’ that’s hindering our club rather than progressing it.I'm quite sure there will have been a long-term plan but no one would have anticipated that Queen's would be challenging at the top of the Championship two years later. What exactly are you expecting her to say?

We’ll learn from it! Sounds like Nicola Fucking Sturgeon.
Doesn’t matter how much it’s fucked up, how many times it’s fucked up, as long as we’re learning. Just what we hoped to hear.
Get her far away! And shove Hunter in the boot at the same time.
This is a football forum. You should express your political views elsewhere.

It's a very long-standing rule intended to prevent abuse and preserve the integrity of the competition. If you could bring in players for a rearranged game, then there could be an incentive to be unscrupulous and have a tie postponed (or just not try very hard to get it on!) so any new signings could play. By the time a rearranged tie comes along other clubs have been eliminated and the draw has been made, so you could also see 1 club in the tie able to reinforce when their opponent is not - e.g. bringing in loans or released players who hadn't featured for a club which has exited, or shelling-out extra £ on purchases as a lucrative trip to Ibrox or Parkhead awaits.
You could legitimately argue "it's the same for both teams" and do away with the rule, but that's the rationale AFAICS.Clubs could just as easily engineer the postponement of league games. I appreciate that Queen's Park were at fault in this case. However, speaking generally, it does seem a bit unfair that a club could lose a couple of key players in the transfer window, sign one replacement and be unable to field that replacement in a rearranged cup tie.

You’re getting more embarrassing with each post. There were originally two stands. The East stand (away) had 812 capacity and the West stand (home) had 914. Plus 48 for Directors suspended from the Pavillion. The new design shows 959 on the east side and 40 on the west. A difference of almost 800. The South stand is irrelevant as it’s reasonable to assume there would have been that addition to the original design too..
Shuffle it anyway you like matey. Apples for apples, we’re 800 short. How does that work for the “long-term, self-sustained” plan?
I'll hold my hands up. I'd forgotten about the original plan.

Yes they do, but it’s all about proportion. Swapping out 1000 seats for 40 is grotesque. By anyone’s standards. Unless of course your benchmark is the bloated excesses of Westminster Palace.
What 1,000 seats would that be? The ones now on the east side of the ground? I'm sure that we would all like to have a stadium with covered stands on all sides but the amount of money received for the sale of Hampden was never anywhere near enough for anything approaching that to be possible.

Spectacular missing of the point
I am well aware of the point being made. I would certainly prefer to be seated on the west side of the ground where I'm much less likely to get a soaking. However, with the presence of the J B McAlpine Pavilion and the church hall, space is limited on that side of the ground.

Do no other grounds have areas set aside for club directors and corporate hospitality?

Seems he’s punting a book. That would explain the sudden raking up of this nonsense. These chancers will talk up our heritage and history, but have zero interest when it comes to what the people who meaningfully contribute to our club actually think.
Ged O'Brien is a well-respected football historian who never fails to emphasise the importance of Queen's Park in the development of the game of football as we know it today. You may not agree with his views on the Farmhouse but it is people like Ged who bring the history of our club to an international audience.

Where is the best place to park ?
In the main car park at Hampden, right outside the South Stand. Parking is free and there is plenty of space.

No point in the B teams in the challenge cup if not only are they allowed to call back players on loan to play but also how both Old Firm colt teams had their games which was supposed to be played in September moved to November due to players being called up to the national youth team. Just all out a disgrace. Also Kenny can leave as it seems he’d rather play with the Celtic kids than play decent in the Championship with us
I'm sure the lad is doing his best when he plays for Queen's. Don't write him off too soon.

This. If there’s no fixture clash at Ochilview, why couldn’t QP have used Hampden for the whole season instead of Stenny? Apologies if I’m missing something, I probably am tbh.
Two reasons, I would reckon. First of all, the cost would be excessive and, secondly, the SFA will not wish the pitch to be used on too regular a basis.

Partick Thistle fans sing FTQ and FTP in the same song. Hard to disagree with either.
Is this the level that we're sinking to?

That's a very blinkered response. You think it’s just Celtic fans who have issues with the royal family?
Some Queen’s Park fans have a very wide and deep understanding of what the Monarchy, The Realm, The Commonwealth and The Establishment are really all about. The fitba on a Saturday should be devoid from politics, not punished by it.
What next? FTP?

FTQ
Disappointing to see a post like this from a Queen's Park fan. Leave this type of drivel to the Old Firm.

f**k knows why since it was a stonewaller. Funny that he’s still rambling on about it though.9 minutes ago, Finlay21 said:Look at point 2 !! His arms are up and away from his body which is unnatural and he completes every offence in that point
He was attempting to kick clear a low ball. The ball glanced off his foot, rose up and struck his arm. Why would he be making his body unnaturally bigger in that scenario?

The state of the pitch today made it very difficult for the players to control the ball. As for East Fife wasting time, why on earth would they do that? It certainly looked to me that they were trying to win the game but they clearly have limitations. They wouldn't be bottom of the league otherwise.

Early in 1874, there was a major disagreement within Queen's Park over the club captaincy and Robert Gardner, the Scotland captain, stormed out and joined the other major club at the time - Clydesdale. Several other players went with him, including the Wotherspoon brothers.

Firstly, a commendation for the media team for having to find “highlights”. Four and a half mins, the first of which was to read the team sheets.
Had a good look at Kilday’s match-ending injury. Nothing happened. Failed to jump for a ball and then just sat down. Some kind of strain or pull I guess. There’s a lot of criticism, and sometimes it’s used as an excuse, for the injury list but maybe it’s distorted by players like Kilday who just sit down and walk off the field when it suits them. I hope our executive decision-makers are learning from this.
It's all very well to criticise players' performances but to suggest that a player walked off the pitch because he couldn't be bothered carrying on is way over the top.

Recruitment has been indifferent and injuries a problem. The net result is that Marijn Beuker has to select a starting eleven from a squad lacking firepower and including a number of players unsuited to playing on the type of surface we saw at Firhill today.

The main difference is, Team GB can't go out and buy a bunch of Norweigians and Swiss. If they did that and bombed, that would be a different story.
Apparently, £6 million was spent on the skeleton, which was seen as a weak event offering medal potential (a bit like track cycling at the Summer Olympics). The Germans etc focus much more on the luge. The best the GB competitors could produce was simply not good enough, despite the massive funding.

Interesting discussion on radio today about the failure of the GB team at the Winter Olympics (except for curling), despite many millions of pounds of funding being ploughed into the alpine events and skeleton. The point was made that, if the athletes are not good enough, it doesn't matter how much you spend in funding. The same can apply in football. Maybe some of the Queen's players are simply performing as best they can.

I agree with you about the booing and constant criticism. Not helpful. Your point about sameness and availability is puzzling. Who chose the sameness? If that was all who were available why did we bring them in if they were just the same? The point I think you illuminate most brightly is that we have had no manager/coach worth his salt for months. Nobody in control. I disagree that the squad was not good enough at the beginning of the season. We were five points clear at the top at one point for goodness sake. We had horrific injury problems that most teams would struggle with but were still in contention at the end of November. We sacked our coach and now have a Director of Football whose forte is youth development seemingly taking charge along with a coach who was an assistant and is only interim. Where is his incentive to give his all even if he has ability? Whilst I am as disappointed as the next fan on the way we are playing I agree that there is no way that the players are not trying. Somebody is coaching them this way in the name of teaching a new style or whatever. The blame lies with those who are running this club quite incompetently in my opinion.
It appears that Ray McKinnon did not think that a squad containing Murray, Quitongo and Baynham was good enough to challenge for the Division One Championship. No one could really have anticipated the prolonged absence of all three players. Without them, the team is fairly toothless. It's true that Queen's made a good start to the season but the other sides quickly learned how to combat our style of play. The aim this season was to consolidate and progress the commercial, community and Academy aspects of the club. Opinions will vary as to the extent to which these objectives have been achieved.

It was widely recognised at the start of the season that the squad wasn't good enough to win Division One. Being full-time and having great facilities doesn't change that. Given the recent performances of both sides, the draw at Methil was no great surprise. There is a sameness about many of Queen's midfield and forward players that works against the manager being able to make any real change in style. As far as the transfer window is concerned, you can only sign who is available and who you can afford. We don't have a Tony Quinn in the side but to suggest that the players are not trying is just nonsense. Booing them and constantly criticising will do nothing to improve performances.

Can’t say I heard anything out of the ordinary. As for the “we want to attract families” etc. Aye. However, it’s football. Profanity is part and parcel of it. Take the emotion out of it and you’re as well watching cricket, rugby or some other pish.
There was one guy doing who thought he had his Pro-Licence who was far more vocal than anything supposedly offensive being shouted. “TAKE A BREATH!!!” when the game was stopped. Lucky he was there or the team might have forgotten to breathe, resulting in a huge selection problem for Saturday.
So it's impossible to be emotional without constantly swearing?
