Salvo Montalbano Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 A bit rubbish that buses have been cancelled on police advice. We don't seem to live in an era of personal responsibility any more. The roads may be icy, there may be sleet and snow, there may be high winds but we live in Scotland and this weather is pretty normal at this time of year. It's also annoying how vague "Don't travel unless it is necessary" means. When we had that same warning last year, almost everyone was still expected to go into work and schools, offices, shopping centres and the like were all open as normal. The police once called off a Dunfermline v Raith game due to "unsafe conditions around the ground" but the retail park up the road, the cinema complex and the town centre were all seen as safe enough for many more thousands of people to use. How many Pars fans will head down now, less than 100? Even less? I'm sure a few who would have went by car will have been put off by this news.

queenslad Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 My worry is this freezing rain ands what will happen if it hits the pitch. Will it make the pitch unplayable? Did we not have a match called off last season due to a slippy pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QOSQOS Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 As an ‘away’ Queens fan, I’ve decided not to go, taking the advice on this occasion. I selfishly now want the game called off, although on balance it is probably better it goes ahead, albeit with a depleted crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flash Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Amber warning for snow in the south west now from 3pm. Whether or not the game goes ahead, hope everybody is able to get home safely. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings#?region=dg&date=2018-12-15®ionType=area&id=3199abac-96db-4d81-837b-86779584691c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It is bloody cold right enough. I wouldn't mind that much if it was now called off. I was just challenging the idea that conditions here, shouldn't necessarily be the main factor in any decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeefc1783 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Despite the fact that we will be without Messrs Dobbie and Harkins I was amazed to see that several bookies have Dunfermline priced up as favourites for this game at around 6/5. Clearly the absence of these two players is a big negative for us but Dunfermline’s form of late hardly justifies a short priced favourite’s tag away from home??I must admit I was expecting to see us at around 6/4 max but we are over 2/1 with all bookies.I just wonder whether they know something that we don’t? Hopefully we are not set to field 2/3 trialists from the Lowland League or we have a virus outbreak that is unreported? These prices simply don’t stack up but when these “rogue” figures emerge you have to be very sceptical.Seen these prices this morning and amazed Queens were over 2/1 waiting on line ups before I decide on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I assume it'll be on now. Think we're now into 'late in the day call-off' territory. Got a few QoS fans on this train heading down so I expect they'll be fizzing if they arrive to a postponement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Martin Mercer, Fordyce, Semple, Marshall Doyle, Harkins, Jacobs, Frizzell, Todd, Dykes. Subs Leighfield, Murray, Stirling, Norman, Bell. Slightly surprised Stirling doesnt start after he did well as a sub last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have gone Martin Mercer, Doyle, Semple, Marshall Stirling, Harkins, Jacobs, Frizzell, Todd, Dykes. Although we got a draw last week, the team that started was losing and it only changed after Stirling came on. However, will be happy to be proved wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 At least Stirling can’t get the blame from certain quarters if he is not playing.Personally and like the vast majority of Queens’ supporters I just don’t get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It’s the consistent exclusion of Norman I don’t get. He’s been tremendous every game I’ve seen and exactly what’s needed in the middle of the park. I’d imagine he regrets joining us.Frizzell going from behind Murray in the first sub used pecking order, to a starter, is also very strange.

HoBNob Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It is cold, very, very cold. However would've been farcical to call the game off. Can't believe buses were cancelled. We've had a good few shots on target, don't think Robinson has made a save, he must be baltic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
