19QOS19 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 On a more positive note. BET365 havent cottoned on to how fucking abysmal we are (even with someone from their company in attendance) and 10 minutes in were giving 11/5 on Stirling. So at least I technically watched that shitshow for free today and my Chinese is paid for. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it could also be that they’ve had a succession of dud managers in the last 6 years. Absolutely. But from AJ's second spell until now you could play me a video of any of those sides and I'd struggle to tell the styles apart. Makes you wonder if this is just what the lowest paying FT wages will get you in Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 It felt like a bit of a nothing match for most of it, but Stirling were the better side and they deserved the win. They threatened more than we did all afternoon. I'd like to see their first disallowed one again. I think it might have been close. Our players are certainly no better than the part-time ones they're coming up against. In many cases, they're poorer. It all feels terribly directionless right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lin1876 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (Wow it's a while since I logged in here) I went along to this one as I needed a football fix and it's a while since I saw a match live, and it really was 90 minutes of my life I won't get back. A draw would've been fair but it's also hard to argue with the result as Stirling created the better of the limited chances. I thought both teams were pretty poor but Queens especially created very, very little. Lots of hopeful balls punted forward to no-one in particular and just a lack of quality across the board - the No 7 kind of summed it up, running around a lot but not doing anything even in good positions. Can't comment much on the manager but I saw lots of fighting talk in the programme about chasing Hamilton and Falkirk, but they don't look anywhere close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambasting poor Marv.is not the answer .I take it you are blaming the board for giving Marv a good full time budget and giving him everything he asked for . It is Marv recruitment that has been awful he is 100% to blame . I really hope he can turn it round but if anything we are getting worse not better . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year we're fast out of the blocks and waste little time charging straight into mediocrity, effectively ending each season by mid October, but we the fans still have to endure a marathon 6 or 7 months of until it all ends officially. So a marathon and a sprint, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bod Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Right let's be honest, Stirling thoroughly deserved their win. They showed how to defend a lead. To a man and as a team they put bodies on the line to block crosses and shots something we very seldom do. They were far more aggressive and just wanted it more than us. For me some players have already showed they should be nowhere near getting on the pitch wearing a Queens top. How we started with Ambrose, Todd and Gibson on the bench, Bartley only knows. Bartley picks the team, formation and I'm assuming tells them how to play. For the second week running he fielded a very young inexperienced team and it showed. It's now past the point of fancy talk, if Annan get the better of us in 2 weeks we could be sitting second bottom! Thanks Marv and goodbye, watch the door doesn't hit your arse on the way out. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
