Think this is extremely harsh on Gibson. Had a look through their comparative stats:-
McKechnie - 19 starts, 1 assist, 2 goals.
Gibson - 10 starts, 7 assists, 2 goals.
I'll also add that Gibson has only had 3 starts in a row all season*. How on earth is an 18 year old supposed to get into a rhythm when he's barely given a run of games (yet shite like Ferguson continually start and don't improve at all...). Whatever way you want to look at it, Gibson is streets ahead of McKechnie with half the starts and should have been starting far more often than he has. Dress it up any way you want, the blame absolutely does lie at the feet of Bartley. Another useless piece of management from him.
* In the league certainly, never checked the cup games.
Yes totally agree Gibson is better than McKechnie but as I said I thought he was really poor today. Gibson should get more starts in my view although he’s never a wing back in a million years.
No question in my mind re Bartley. He’s an absolute charlatan.

Gibson clearly has talent and to be fair to him he’s not a wing back but I thought he was awful today.
The much maligned McKechnie offered more in his short period on.
It was a dreadful game of football and it says it all for me that a player I absolutely don’t rate (McKay) was probably our best player.0 -
Hickey making “good progress”.

In the context of fighting to stay up I want us to be assuming that Annan and Stirling have those 3 points locked in. Any slip up would be a massive bonus obviously but it needs to be seen as that.
If we are relying on other sides slipping up to that extent then we really are in trouble.
Yep, not for a moment suggesting we should remotely be relying on this. Just making the point that it wouldn't be the major shock that some are suggesting if one of Annan or Stirling don't beat Edinburgh.

Assuming both Stirling and Annan beat Edinburgh then we're all level really and it will be a straight shootout from the other games
Edinburgh had a good result to beat Montrose tonight.
Maybe Annan and Stirling both beating Edinburgh isn't the certainty that many are assuming.

you are right - tickets don't seem to be on sale......
there's no match preview with all the info up on the site yet either which usually happens at some point midweek.
only the falkirk games have been all ticket in the league. you'll have no difficulty paying on the day but i think it's cash only in the away stand.
Thanks for this.
Our website had match info up which presumably came from Stirling.https://www.qosfc.com/news-6370
Happy enough to pay on the day but would prefer on-line option. I’ll keep a watch for further details

Against my better judgement I’m planning to go to this “relegation 6 pointer”.
Trying to buy ticket on line but coming up with this

Well with Reilly starting for the first time in a few weeks as well as having the cheek to score and Gibson having the audacity to come on and change the game yesterday with his deliveries I'd expect them both to warm the bench.
Some sort of 4-5-1 formation incoming from our master tactical genius.
I expect that Reilly and Gibson will both start next week.

For all tne negativity around Scheffler he’s a fantastic golfer
Aberg confirms he’s an outstanding player. He’s fearless and he can go on to be an absolute superstar.4 -

What manager would take the rest of leaving out one of your best players for such a crucial game fair enough if it was a serious issue but it can't be with Connelly back in training on Monday .
I’m absolutely no fan of Bartley but you’re just guessing as to what any issue was.

I don’t get this notion that Scheffler is a shoe in for this. He may well win it but a long way to go.

Expected Kelty to stay up a couple of weeks ago they have a few players that i would actually take at Accies so no surprise there. Even though QOTS look a bit more comfortable now I've still got this feeling they'll finish 9th I can see Stirling beating them at Forthbank next week with Annan beating Edinburgh comfortably which will make things more interesting.
Stirling have Edinburgh the week after which I think they'll pick up another 3 points, QOTS have Cove I could see that being a draw and Annan will lose to Falkirk
Going into the last day it's likely that Montrose will still be playing for something so I do think they'll beat QOTS and Annan will beat Stirling meaning it will end
7th Annan 40P
8th Stirling 40P
9th QOTS 38P
Every QOS fan will recognise the potential for that run of results but be interesting to see what odds the bookies would give on that happening.

Faldo has a huge amount of insight about playing Augusta but sadly he’s an absolute arsehole.

So a bad day for Stirling with QOS and Annan both winning while they lose.
Stirling v QOS a massive game next weekend while Annan visit Edinburgh.
Quite possible all 3 could be on the same points after next weekends games.0 -
Very important win.
My natural pessimism suggests we’ll lose at Stirling next week while Annan beat Edinburgh to leave all 3 teams on the same points with 2 games to go.0 -

He's still nowhere near good enough from 120 and in.
There is no point in him bombing it out there when his wedge play and short game, at this level, is shite
Totally agree his game near the greens is dreadful. He should reflect that a level par round today would have had him only 5 shots behind. To me he looks distracted on the course. The 10th hole summed it up for me. Both he and Scheffler hit great 2nd shots. Rory misses a very makeable putt and of course Scheffler makes his. Scheffler is miles ahead of Rory atm.

Another dreadful performance by Rory. He’ll likely shoot 2 good rounds over the weekend and finish top 10 and then give us his usual “taking the positives” bullshit. He’s miles away from winning a Major. Love him to prove me wrong but just don’t see it happening.
Edit to add, just realised Olazabal made the cut. Great stuff.2 -

So is it Friday, Saturday or Sunday that Danny Willet shoots 83?
Either way he’ll still be at the Champions Dinner next year. Tremendous effort by him in R1.

Very sad to say but the match on Sat is probably the most significant and important in many years. Lose it and I think we finish 9th. Win it and it is a massive step towards safety. A draw is a mini disaster as well.
With the hapless Bartley at the helm, a squad packed full of mediocrity and an in built losing mentality there is no way that we can be confident. Of course we should be seeing off a detached Edinburgh side with nothing to play for but we couldn’t beat them in the last away fixture. In the home match before that we struggled badly and only a brilliant Gibson strike turned the tide in our favour.
Our embarrassing home record tells you all you need to know about the Manager and his squad but we have to hope that for once they deliver when the “chips are really down”.
Yes it’s a crucial match. The importance of the match will mean McKay will do even more pointing than usual but little or no actual defending of course.

Heard we have Minmaugh signed up for next season regardless though.
Only signed until May 2024 according to Official Site but may of course have been offered an extension. Be happy if he stayed with us.

Looks like there's a good chance we won't see much golf tomorrow unfortunately.
Forecast suggesting high winds, heavy rain and thunderstorms in the morning. They’re delaying opening the gates to let the patrons in based on storm forecast. They seem confident of at least some play tomorrow but round one likely to be completed on Friday. Friday looks dry and windy. Forecast for the weekend looks glorious. Sunny and very warm with only light winds.
It’ll all be on schedule for rounds 3 and 4 I would reckon. Sunday evening watching the Masters with a suitable refreshment is one of my favourite sporting events. Can’t wait.0 -

Fair enough but my main point was we played with two strikers, they both scored we caused teams problems and won. No coincidence there.
Yes I understand your point.
When you look at the really solid pros in that team with the likes of McKenna, Dowie, Higgins and Lyle plus youngsters like Holt and Reilly it makes you realise how far we’ve fallen as a club. Challenging for a play off spot in a championship that contained the likes of Hibs and Rangers. In that week alone we beat Hibs at Easter Road followed by wins over Rangers and Falkirk at Palmerston.0 -

Indeed. We shoehorn players into a system that doesn’t suit some of our better players rather than have a system that would get the best out of the players we have.
