David Fernández Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 47 minutes ago, Mr November said: I think this just about sums up the season so far. We will beat Dunfermline 3-0, QOS 4-0 and Edinburgh 5-1 meaning we will have pumped every team in the division giving them their worst defeat only to lose in the play off final, it's the Airdrie way!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat Edinburgh 4-1 as well as 3-0. We also beat Montrose 4-0 which given we are lower than them in the league, unlike Airdrie, is a worse result. And we lost 5-2 at Falkirk although certainly getting hammered by Clyde is worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours against Montrose was at home for you ours was up at Montrose so I guess home defeat worse for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, If you've looked at QOS home form for 2 years, the result was even more surprising at Palmerston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like about 5 years. Sadly. Although we have now won 4 of our last 6 at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like yourself, I read a lot of the club threads so I knew it wasn't great, just slightly underestimated though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr November Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 The real test will come in the next few weeks but I think it’s worth looking back at this run of games from November. Back then we huffed and puffed our way to two 1-0 wins against Clyde and Kelty as well as scraping a late equaliser to draw 1-1 against Peterhead. This time round we’ve scored 18 goals in three games! There’s still a long way to go, especially with this team, but we can take a lot of confidence into a huge game next week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds on the Windshield Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I thought Kurtis Roberts was the best player on the field last night . He won most of his 50/50's , was good playing forward, broke up our forward passing game and got in some decent tackles. He also looks very comfortable moving with the ball and was the reason Clyde looked better than the scoreline suggests. Maybe a good addition to the Diamonds when the crop of young midfielders go back to their parent clubs next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't say he was the best as Frizzel scored a top class goal, and Gabby scored two whilst also working like a terrier. I do agree Roberts was their best player in the manner you say, and was much more like the player we thought at first. As to future signings I'd be unworried if he was fit and willing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year's kit looks ok on the team, away is just a mess, whil e the third is a classic.... we had Joma before as did 90% of lower league teams and boys clubs at the time, it was a,simple design, never liked the diamond for some reason , the fit and quality was very poor , would imagine we would still be with Football Nation there main brands are J o ma, Umbro and Hummell . Are the club shop giving anything away regarding new kit I was in speaking to the guy last week and he said it’s really difficult. Only 2 manufacturers are now interested in coming with Bespoke kits. I thought Umbro’s stuff had been really good and they’ve just over thought this year’s home kit. But embroidered badges rather than screen printed and really like the first 2 home shirts. Hopefully whoever it is does a good job next year and we do something to manage the centenary of the cup win. I’ve heard a rumour we will 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies Jack, I don't normally indulge in strip talk but being 100 year anniversary of the Scottish cup win then I would say it's more important than normal and perhaps it could be a big seller. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good, tidy player with bags of energy. I was surprised we let him go to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A journeyman lower league player 1 goal in 24 games, we had him before and he never cut it, If the ambition of the club would be to re sign dross like that, we will be stuck in this league a lot longer..... He played well last night without really doing anything , he did get the better of 18 year old McMaster who hasn't even had 10 career starts... Can see McCabe slotting back into Midfield for the Allo a game with ATS back on defence, or that's what should happen... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
