No full time side should struggle down here but Falkirk did for long enough on gates of 4,000, so it's hardly unprecedented. As for the board, I've been critical enough of stuff before, but I'm struggling to see what I'd be criticising here. We did stay full-time. We have appointed a manager most of us backed. I get the argument that suggests systemic failings given how long we've been in decline. However, I couldn't pinpoint those particular failings with confidence, so without shouting at clouds, I'm not sure what exactly I'm meant to be looking for. A blind man can see that we are failing as a club. Responsibility for the decline both on and off the field lies at the door of those at the top of the club. It really is as simple as that. Of course, the board are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders. It seems the shareholders are happy enough with how things are going., So perhaps I should be too,. It can’t get any worse than it is? I don’t see anything to suggest it won’t. Edited January 6 by qos_75 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 The Falkirk goal really highlighted just one of the things that pisses me off about Queens tactics, and not just in this match. Falkirk kick-off the 2nd half keeping possession, a couple of passes later they're on the attack, and goal. Just about every time Queens kick-off the ball's played backwards, then launched aimlessly up towards the touchline, usually to one of our smaller players, possession is normally lost and we're on the back foot right away. It's like something you'd see on the public parks on a Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were totally fucked by Covid and the SPFL 2 points behind Raith, better goal difference, with Raith still to visit TFS when the leagues were called.

bairn88 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Deserved 3 points despite again not playing that well v queens. Someone mentioned it earlier if I was a queens fan - “dispiriting”. Not sure I could palate setting up like that as a full time team in league 1. Boak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. Maybe make the years of struggle X-1 then. Our travails at this level suggest being FT is no guarantee of even challenging at this level and we’ve been awful this season and last.

Hopefully I won’t be of that mindset again, but I can’t help feeling you are maybe 2 years behind us on the same cycle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPM Again Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Oh that interview. As predicted Queens fans are going to have to put up with that imposter of a manager - he ain’t going anywhere. Shame on those Directors 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without wishing to open all that again, I don't know what decision you think should have been made instead in the circumstances. Your response makes those of Hearts and Thistle fans sound dignified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another time Falkirk have been fucked over by Scottish Football authorities We were one point behind Hearts and Partick should never have been relegated. Raith should never have been awarded the title. For season 20/21 The Premiership should have become 13 teams Championship should have become 14 teams with Raith Falkirk Airdrie Montrose and East Fife joining those that remained from Championship season 19/21 Division 1 should have become the remaining 15 teams. No team should have ended up in a worse position than they may have been had the leagues continued. They could then have concocted a system to readjust the leagues in subsequent seasons, via Play Offs or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I think that season they should have just null and voided the leagues. Covid was unprecedented and no team should have benefitted or suffered from it. The prize money should have been given out in respect of what position your were in league wise when the football stopped. There should have been no promotion or relegation. The one that pissed me off more was the hand outs from the SPFL, part time teams in the Championship with hardly any staff and less overheads got £500k whilst full time teams in League One got £100 and odd. Don’t think that was handled well, they should have looked at each team individually. Still it’s all water under the bridge now and us fans stepped up to the plate during Covid and after to help our club out financially. That’s where we are different to many similar sized clubs in Scotland, we have a fan base who will dig deep when the need arises. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks ago, after a pitiful home defeat to Kelty, Bartley offered up a pretty incredible post-match interview. The main theme involved casting individuals under passing busses. The highlight involved the claim that he'd discovered that players were spending 8-9 hours at a time on gaming chairs, tuned into their Playstations, during the day before matches. It got picked up by the media and caused a stir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marvin Bartley might actually have had a point about footballers away from training and their screen time, but absolutely no-one wanted to hear it when he's scratching for excuses to explain away his team's lousy form. (For what it's worth, I think it pales into insignificance compared to the George Galloway debacle - now that was a genuinely embarrassing moment for the club.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the George Galloway episode was truly inexplicable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
