What a disaster. Where was Hardy: injured? No show ....allegedly Again? Did he not go AWOL before the Annan game a couple of months ago?

That was as bad as anything we saw under Brogan. QP dominated the first half. Shambolick defending for the first goal but we just did not show up in the first half at all. What happened to our no nonsense clear our lines policy? Woeful.
Started the second half better but never looked like scoring. The first QP penalty was as blatant a dive as you will ever see. Not sure if the Lino gave it as opposed to the referee but it was never a penalty in 1000 years. I actually thought the ref was running in to book the cheating b@stard and couldn't believe when he gave the penalty!
Second penalty looked a lot more stone wall. Goal number 4 was a breakaway from a Rovers corner as we pushed for a late consolation. PJ got a good hand to it but couldn't keep it out.
I'm with Bucky, I can't take any pleasure or consolation in Berwick getting pumped. We need to step up and put performances in. EK will be resting easy knowing that no matter who it is - us or Berwick - they'll never have an easier route into L2.
Next two games aren't particularly winnable but that has been the same for most of the season. Back to earth with a helluva bump after the recent optimism.

Unforgivable performance today. Embarrassing as QP weren't very good. If the rumours about Hardy are true, and I have it on good authority that they are then, as much as he's our best player by a mile, no captain should behave like this. Pack his stuff into a box. His antics could cost us dearly.
Very very disappointed.

There was an improvement at the start of the second half but any small hope was gone with the worst penalty decision you could imagine. Tom Daly would have got a 6.0 and s snickers bar for that dive. Second penalty was a rush of blood from Wharton as a result of that decision and it was game over. We are back to square one and if hardy has no good reason for being AWOL and is shown the door as he should be we are in trouble again. And that's why we are looking at the Berwick results. You have to. It could be our only hope.

Apart from the 1st penalty we got what we deserved today and it was back to square one. The problem today was we are giving away possession far to easily by just kicking the ball up the park instead of short passing to team mates. However the main problem as I see it is at throw ins. We continually wait for the same player to take throw ins instead of taking it quickly when players are free or we persistently try a long throw inevitably to a member of the opposition team immediately losing possession. It's so obvious I can't believe we continue to play this way.

it is not everyday you lose 4-0 at home and go further ahead of your rivals! But the other guys are right no excuses this needs sorting out as even if Berwick keep doing us favours this kind of shite wont be good enough next season

The team captain not turning up and our other best player not being allowed to play certainly didn't help; but no excuse for that horrendous result. All that good work wasted.

Be interesting to see how KH handles the Hardie situation considering that`s his second `no show`

Does no-one know what happened to him? So disappointing and it must have had a bad impact on the team. Hope we can sort it.

If the rumours turn out to be true then Harper has to show Hardy the door regardless of how good he’s been. Total disrespect to the manager, the club, team mates and fans.
Hopefully just 4 games to go with a bunch of guys that will turn up and give 100%. Lets be honest 6 weeks ago we would have killed for this position.

What a wake up call for everyone connected with ARFC.1st half as bad as anything I saw under Brogan.No fight,no desire and unable to pass or clear our lines.
Second half so a bit more effort but ref totally conned for that first penalty.Nauseating to see the diver smirk his way over to the QP bench as soon the ref gave the penalty.
We need to loose the fixation with what Berwick are doing because we waltzed ourselves into relegation last season by kidding ourselves there was other teams worse than ourselves.
Astonished by the lack of fight and effort today given what was at stake.
My gut feeling is we need something against Peterhead or Edinburgh City.
Big test for KH regarding Hardie but he cannot let a player do that.
Shocking day for Rovers it really was.

Just before the first penalty I was confident we were going to get something - not, I have to say, through quality but a bit of fight that had begun to show. I didn't really get a decent view of the incident but the general opinion (including some of the QP support) is that it was a blatant dive and it killed us. Them's the breaks, folks, and we could cry into our beer (or, in my case, a very nice Macallan Gold) but we still have the lifeline that our destiny is in our own hands. If we get to the Berwick game needing a victory to survive I believe we have a fighting chance.
As to the Hardie situation, regardless of the huge contribution he has made recently, if it is true he went AWOL for a second time it perhaps explains why we were able to get him but he has to be dumped.

Our destiny has been back in our hands the past few games. Today 3 pts would've made a massive difference. Hope this isn't a start to a slump after the past few games. Really dont want the turn of the cards on the Berwick game, want the odds in our favour before then. Even if we get 9th place by 1 point.

The more pertinant point is QP got relegated alongside us, how have they ended up with the team they have yestersay and we haven't?
