Monkey Tennis Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 As for the Falkirk-Queens rivalry thing, I think it does exist due to the situation both clubs are in. Similar sized clubs competing at the same level for the same thing. I can't see the "similar sized clubs" thing going down at all well with some on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Next week it'll be half past March, and we'll STILL be unbeaten in all competitions in 2015. We are the mutts nutts. It is a good record, but surely next week, it'll only be half past February. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar sized clubs competing at the same level for the same thing. It's a transitory thing. A couple of seasons where Falkirk are playing at the lower end of their capabilities whilst the Queens are over-achieving. There's also none of the bitterness associated with the Pars rivalry. Queens fans are generally ok, quite cute really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queens fans are generally ok, quite cute really. We're not overachieving. Where we are, is about right, and is in the same area as we've occupied for most of the last dozen years. Of course there's no deep seated rivalry. We just seem to find ourselves in direct competition a lot these days. I wouldn't claim that the clubs are of similar size, but then the notion of club size doesn't fixate me in the way it seems to for some of the Falkirk fans on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether you like it or not queens at the top end of Scotland's second tier is overachieving for a club of your size/support/tradition/honours won.....massively overachieving in fact....much bigger clubs than queens like Dunfermline & morton are currently underachieving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're mid-table in the second tier, a long way from the top end. I'd suggest I know a lot more about the historical standing of my club than you do. Our crowds would indeed place us pretty much where we are. It's only your vaulting ignorance that enables you to suggest otherwise. Of course Morton and Dunfermline are at low points just now, although both have been lower in living memory. Similarly, the likes of Cowdenbeath are currently above their traditional 'station'. We're pretty much where we should be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Both clubs are in their normal "range" I would say, Queens towards the top of theirs and Falkirk towards the bottom of ours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I would say that QOS have generally underachieved over the years. I think they're every bit as big a club as Morton for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 If anything, I would say that QOS have generally underachieved over the years. I think they're every bit as big a club as Morton for example. As we've discussed, we spent many years from the seventies through to the turn of the century underachieving pretty consistently. Now doing so for so long, with only occasional, brief interruptions actually takes you into territory where it no longer looks like underachievement. We really did acquire the status of a very small club. We shouldn't have though. We were a lot stronger than that, for decent spells both sides of the war, and obviously for the last dozen years or so. As I said, we're currently pretty much where we ought to be. There's nothing especially heady about our present whereabouts. If we were overachieving, we'd be occupying similar territory to the Highland clubs and Hamilton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 It might be a while since Dunfermline arrive back, maybe we can agree to Queens fans proposal of making this a rivalry? I'll start it off with the possible songs we could have: - To die a Tory b*****d. - Our Astroturf, is better than yours. - Premier League, you're having a laugh! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Given Falkirk is still represented by Eric Joyce I think its fair to say we have the moral high ground in politics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Nederlander Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Right, I've stayed well clear of this guff so far but since it appears to be grinding on I'll wade in by pointing out that Queens haven't beaten Celtic in over 50 feckin years Falkirk have beaten Celtic at 5 (Five) different grounds in less than half that time!! Queen of the South = Uber Diddies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Because beating Celtic is a measure of a club? I would hazard a guess thst we have a better statistical record v Celtic over history than most Scottish football incidentally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 So we beat St Johnstone 2 zip, St Johnstone beat Cellick 1 zip, does that not mean we are better than both? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of the South = Uber Diddies It's twenty five since we've played them, mind.I'm intrigued though, so I'll play anyway: Brockville, TFS, Parkhead, Ibrox and I'm guessing Hampden, but can't think of the occasion. Did you beat them there in the League when Parkhead was being rebuilt? Edited March 8, 2015 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 'cause you're a bunch of fucking diddies But stop the feckin bus .... before Rangers went tits-up Queens hadn't beaten them in 60 feckin years Diddies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of the South = Uber Diddies Dreadful arguement. Beating one team doesn't define anything. We could beat Celtic 100 times and be in the 4th tier whilst Queens may not beat them, but finish 2nd in the SPL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
