ThomCat Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Would rather have ties against lower division opposition in the cup than "glamour ties". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarley Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Potential money spinning tie in the next round. We're bound to feck it up somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Rover Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 How will Queens prepare for their game with Celtic? That's what they should be considering, ignoring the inconvenience of a preliminary visit to Coatbridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they should be considering, ignoring the inconvenience of a preliminary visit to Coatbridge. That's a good question. We're so confident we don't even need a manager. I think we might drop our keeper too and play an attacking 3-3-5 formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I think we'll progress into the next round to face Celtic but won't be too surprised if it goes to a replay. Irrespective of events behind the scenes at Palmerston the players themselves should be taking some responsibility for poor performances of late. Several of them have dropped their standards considerably during the past few weeks and it's time they took a long hard look at themselves and restored some pride to themselves and the team.

Rjc-1988 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Totally agree with above players have failed to perform for several weeks with very very few exceptions. They had loads to play for - protecting their top 4 status for one thing - and frankly to capitulate the way that they have is pretty pathetic.It is natural that we are talking about the potential Celtic game but it is no more than a potential tie - most Queens fans are under no illusions about how tough tonight's game will be. I think we are no better than 50:50 to progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSTY1111 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 I think I get what you mean but I'm going to presume you've phrased that really badly. For avoidance of doubt none of the Board are paid out of the club, quite the opposite in fact. If what you meant is that a bigger bank balance saves them worrying about maybe having to put their hands in their pockets to fund continuing operations at the same level then yes that's probably true. That's still a good thing for fans though and the extra money is bound to filter into the playing budget. Personally I'd rather have made some progress through the tournament before running into Celtic but if we are fortunate enough to get to the next round then it's an attractive tie, albeit one that will create a great deal of work for me and others at the club. A multi quote indeed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSTY1111 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Very surprised by Cammy's comments - there are so many drab ties that we could get - any game against another Championship team for starters and you throw in horrors like Inverness, Ross County, St Johnstone Dundee, away.Surely Celtic at home has to be a great draw?I think it is hard enough for BOD to keep a club like us running on FT basis and getting unexpected potential bonuses like this surely has to be a positive? Definitely. Let's hope Queens progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold Rover Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 If you're coming up the M74, expect slow traffic between Raith exit and Coatbridge. Set off now! Plenty of street parking around the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broony88 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I have a Brechin from 2011 feeling about tonight. Hope I'm wrong but it would just be so queens atm. The money could fund a couple of new signings for our relegation dogfight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came off the 74 at Douglas A70 and came up the back way through Carluke. Worked quite well. Delays minimal. Parked up at ground now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 We came the usual way through Raith interchange and it was fine. No queues or delays. Going to park in a shop car park just opposite the entrance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
