Jag Posted April 3, 2025 Report Share Posted April 3, 2025 Airdrie have certainly hit a bit of form over the last few months. Only 3 defeats in eleven games - two against Falkirk and one against Ayr United. I do feel it will be too little too late for them but at least they are putting up a bit of a fight. McCabe not getting the recognition he deserves. People seem fixated on league position, rather than consider all the circumstances he has had to work with. Queens Park - oh dear. They are in freefall and their run in does not look good. Huge matches coming up soon v Dunfermline and Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted April 4, 2025 Report Share Posted April 4, 2025 Didn't have to be mystic meg to know that the Queens Park experiment would eventually hit the buffers but looks like the train is picking up speed Willie Haughey's Queen's Park exit claims its first victim as academy that spawned Andy Robertson to be axed - Daily Record Haughey is quoted elsewhere as saying the club will have no debt when he leaves however that doesn't they will be in a good financial place (e.g. who owns Lesser Hampden and pays for the upkeep, who pays the player contracts that will be at championship level wages etc) Unlikely Queens get automatically relegated this season but I suspect in 5 years time Queens Park will be fighting to stave of relegation to the lowland league and maybe worse.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 4, 2025 Report Share Posted April 4, 2025 Feel Queens Pk lost their soul when they went professional. Even when they were riding high and coming close to winning the League I couldn't see where the sustainability was going to come from. They're one of the few clubs whose home support is regularly less than the visiting support. Given the capacity of Lesser Hampden away fans would be locked out in their hundreds on a regular basis. I just don't get it. I'm only half joking when I say I can foresee them amalgamating with Clyde in the not too distant future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted April 4, 2025 Report Share Posted April 4, 2025 seems as though their Women's team is also folding https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/14592437/spfl-womens-team-queens-park/ I think @lady-isobel-barnett suggestion of Clyde and Queens amalgamating should be something they should seriously consider. At the very least groundsharing at lesser should make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted April 4, 2025 Report Share Posted April 4, 2025 I hope that QP don’t get relegated this year. I suspect they will be weaker than Pars, Accies or Airdrie next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancipital Posted April 4, 2025 Report Share Posted April 4, 2025 (edited) Wasn't too long ago some folk on here were pishing their pants and saying QP were going to leave us behind and become Glasgow's third team 🙄 Edited April 4, 2025 by Ancipital 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted April 10, 2025 Report Share Posted April 10, 2025 I see that Louis Moult is one of the players out of contract at Dundee Utd. I don’t know if his time at Motherwell overlapped with Baraclough, but interesting to see if our new SD could tempt him to Firhill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it was IB that signed him in June 2015, but was then sacked in September 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted April 10, 2025 Report Share Posted April 10, 2025 I’ve no idea if there’s any truth in it or not but a few Dumbarton fans on pie and bovril a couple of weeks ago saying we have signed Michael Ruth from them for next season. They rate him quite highly one of the few Dumbarton players according to them who has scored double figures for them a few seasons in a row. as I say no idea if any truth was mentioned by Dumbarton fans themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see Accies being able to continue to fork out on higher wages for likes of Shaw, Bradley, Smith etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted April 22, 2025 Report Share Posted April 22, 2025 not joining us but one of our former youth players- wasn’t aware he as a youth that he transferred from us to Queens Park? Did we get a fee or I guess the bigger question is will we be entitled to a fee if he goes to Crystal Palace. I suppose every penny helps if we do Spiders fans are gutted he is leaving so surprising we let him join them in the first place https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/aiden-mcginlay-crystal-palace-transfer-35091530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted April 22, 2025 Report Share Posted April 22, 2025 If there is a fee involved we would certainly be entitled to training compensation. There may also be a future transfer clause included when he left for QP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiThistle Posted April 22, 2025 Report Share Posted April 22, 2025 Bigger question is how did not give the kid an opportunity in our side and then let him go to an inferior club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted May 7, 2025 Report Share Posted May 7, 2025 Yes I know it is not January but would you take any of these at Firhill next season? Following the conclusion of the 2024/25 season, Dunfermline Athletic can provide the following squad update. Leaving the club at the end of their contracts are Aaron Comrie, Joe Chalmers, Craig Wighton, Rhys Breen, David Wotherspoon, Craig Clay, Michael O’Halloran and Omar Taylor-Clarke.

Albeit I don't really know all of them....but we absolutely need some younger players in for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted May 7, 2025 Report Share Posted May 7, 2025 (edited) I would hope/expect our sporting director is currently looking at players that could be of interest to us for season 25/26 and beyond. I do realise that this depends on what happens in the playoffs. Iirc we had Breen on loan from Rangers, possibly the covid season.

Yellow & Redneck Posted May 7, 2025 Report Share Posted May 7, 2025 Aaron Comrie would be a decent RB option. Surprised he's been released, but likely has something lined up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted May 7, 2025 Report Share Posted May 7, 2025 (edited) Agree with Y & R in so much as Comrie would be a decent enough signing. Certainly no reason to believe he wouldn't do a job for us. That said I wouldn't be enthusiastic if he typified our signing policy. He's probably reaching, or has reached, his peak, performance wise. Would hope generally for signings that are younger with higher potential. But as an exception to the rule Comrie would be fine by me.

Not sure about Firhill, but I am sure that he scored the equaliser for Dundee against us at Dens Park in the second game of season 2014-2015. We beat Ross County 4-0 at Firhill in our first game. Gary Fraser scored a worldie at Dens Park to put us 1-0 up, and it really seemed that we were going places. After Craig Wighton scored reality returned.
