Aye maybe he could cut the grass or serve the pies at Palmerston because he sure as f**k isn't a football player. Long time since we need the grass cut at palmerston!!

queenslad Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 As everyone know the Raith keeper was struggling in the second half and really shouldn't have been there although he dealt comfortably with everything that came his way. With no sub keeper on the bench would it have been worth a gamble to have put an outside player in goals. I'm sure if he had lost 2 or 3 goals people may have said this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Caul Back Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 That says how poor Queens were in the second half, if they play like the second half next week Falkirk could win easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 If we play as well as we did *insert time we played well* we'll beat Falkirk.If we play as poorly as *insert time we played poorly* we probably won't.Those kind of statements mean nothing. Our second half performance owed a lot to the fact we were absolutely cruising in the first 45. Although there was a distinct air of "job done" among our players' attitudes second half we still created more chances than Raith and didn't really look like conceding a second.After a barren run at home I will quite happily take two comfortable victories against Morton and Raith.

Hawk Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Second half of last week and first half of this week were are good 90mins. If we combine this into next weeks match we'll win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSTY1111 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Let's hope so. Rankin should be fired up as captain and signing for Queens from Falkirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As disappointing as it was not to kick on from the half time score which probably flattered Raith, and as poor as the goal we lost was, we never looked like losing another and ended up seeing the game out professionally with the ball in the corner for much of the last 2 or 3 mins in a way we rarely do successfully. Mission accomplished on a day Falkirk couldnt beat Dumbarton at home. It was a good day for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flash Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Saying if we play well we will win ignores the fact that we have "played well" in several games this season and still lost. A good example was last week when most people said we were the "better side" despite giving away 2 ridiculous goals and losing a poor third. We also missed some good chances. So "playing well" guarantees nothing, especially with a defence that seems almost incapable of getting through a game without donating a goal or goals.

RUSTY1111 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Baird, Kerr and Kidd will no doubt get the proverbial pelters as per usual, especially JB. How many games has Kidd played for Falkirk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Looking at the highlights, think Lyle is a bit lucky there. Considering our performances against 10 men this season we would probably have had a worse result if he'd been sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 From the highlights Lyle is a bit fortunate. There isnt a great deal of force in it but there does appear a swing back of the arm. Lucky maybe it was in the opening seconds and not half an hour in. Our second goal is probably helped by Brennan struggling to walk at that point. You can see him hopping along the line to try to get in front of Lyle. The M'Voto goal is disappointingly central. Its a powerful header but Lee should probably have been able to parry it at least. Dobbie does look just offside and I had forgotten the Hardie headed chance when I said they never seriously threatened a second goal. He should do better with that. Still overall I thought we deserved to win and did. A good weekend for us with Jacobs and Marshall agreeing new deals too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Lyle is very lucky there, 'you've seen them given'. I take issue with the way Thomson goes down clutching his face though. He was struck at the back of the head ffs. Why did it zoom in on us in the second half? I don't think there was a serious penalty claim there. The offside decision was more infuriating. At the time I thought he was onside and looking at the highlights I still think that's the case. The very next Raith attack lead to their goal which made it even worse. It's obviously not the greatest angle but I think M'voto plays him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustafa_sheet Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 That says how poor Queens were in the second half, if they play like the second half next week Falkirk could win easily That'll be the Falkirk team who came back from 2-1 down to draw with Dumbarton at home yesterday and the team that haven't looked remotely like beating us this season!!!

I think the zoom in was because we were claiming there was no foul BY us when a free kick was given. However it does look like Dykes barges him over. Your photo for me shows Dobbie offside. You need to look at the line of the penalty area. Thats the parallel line. On that angle he appears beyond M'Voto to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture doesn't fully clear it up tbh. I think unless you're dead in line there's no definitive answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
