Gary Naysmith - an angry man

[Spikefaethesouth]

Francis, - there's no need for extra money, - (although that would be nice), - just because you have a bigger playing budget doesn't guarantee you success.

What is required is Mr. Naysmith's attitude (which is the same as Lennon's) from the players - he expects his players to give 100% and he was quite right, - the fans were short changed on Saturday.

As I've said many times, - if you go to a theatre or concert and the performers don't give a damn - you are entitled to your money back. The same should be true of footballers, - which doesn't mean that we should expect Queens to win every game! One or two players will definitely have an off game, - but an entire team? - no chance!

I agree with your thoughts on this Jardi as Queens are certainly not in a position to spend big on replacement players for those who will obviously be surplus to requirements come the end of the season. The only reason we can afford to bring players in in due entirely to the management of the clubs affairs by the BoD as the crowds would barely sustain the continuation of full time football and it is only the additional income from the Arena which is keeping us afloat. Next season with the promotion of Hibs the gate revenue will be further diminished but through the hard work of Naysmith and his apparent workaholic attitude taking in as many games as possible I am confident that he can spot and attract young promising players from the lower division to Palmerston. If this comes to fruition I believe that Queens can challenge for a promotional spot next season.

Spike, you have a sensible head on, - and we need more supporters who realise that we suffer from a limited income.

To further my analogy of the theatre, - we would have no shows at all if it were purely down to bums on seats, - and the sad state of affairs was proved last year when the Dumfries public refused to support a show that was a sell-out right across the UK.

Therefore, our 'shows' - full time Championship football is only possible because of the generosity of our Board of Directors.

How much money have we lost with this generous board this season? The failed concert, the Celtic cup game and the failure to reach the playoffs.

Refusing to back Skelton which in turn probably cost us a glamore tie against Celtic thanks to JT being in charge will haunt this club for a long time . It's been one of the most bizarre seasons for a years and there's an ever growing list of disillusioned supporters

Sorry aloreburn, -I can't accept that.

The fact that Queens did not beat Albion Rovers was purely down to the players attitudes; the same "couldn't give a ****" attitude that has cost many points this season as well as the loss of £150K against Celtic.

It is that attitude that must change, - and we the fans should demand it from the players rather than blaming the BOD. We might as well blame the ref!

So who signed these players that let the club down as most appeared to get contracts before Skelton was appointed.
