There's definitely weaknesses to be exploited, though. Conceded seven goals in four games. Go up, play without fear and see what happens. As an aside, I'd like to see the committee neither accepting or offering hospitality from or to a club whose honorary president (with a stand named after him) played his part in holding us to ransom for our stadium.

Jacksgranda Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 A good point for City? Or two dropped? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Got to be a good point away from home against a team who have made a good start. Great to see a clean sheet. Shane and Kane with a couple of gilt edged chances missed so well done defence including gk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, blaming the SFA is an excuse for poor performance from our side. We had 18 years to get ready for that fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 18 years to get ready for that fight. There's no doubt that we made big mistakes, but there's also no doubt that the SFA fucked us over. McRae was a big player in that process. I'd treat his club with the contempt that he treated us. Being too nice was actually part of what brought us to where we are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the balance of play it's two points dropped for Elgin. They should have had the game wrapped up within 55 minutes. Absolutely delighted with the point in those circumstances, although we actually could have snatched it. Not sure why Alfie didn't just smack Salim's perfect assist past the keeper rather than attempt to go round him ( great recovery from the defender mind you) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see us as being superior to any other club at our level, so I don't envisage us as being brought down to anything. Would prefer to leave the misplaced and embarrassing "We Are The People" type superiority stuff to other clubs. Not my cup of tea.

Bring Your Own Socks Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Bring us down. Deary, deary me! We came 40th out of 42 last year. Having a good commercial business and a winning team doesn't have to compromise the club's ethos. It's a classic mistake of companies going through Change that everything has to lurch from one side of the boat to the other. The middle of the boat is where stability is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day we might need Cove's vote for something and it would be petty and small minded to make enemies with an emerging new league club when it won't change the past. We need friends at every level in the game, and that kind of attitude won't get us very far.

I think their honourary President is a c**t, which is different to believing superior to them as a football club. If you think it's appropriate for the committee to potentially be sitting having tea and biscuits with a guy who was involved in putting our club's existence at risk, then we'll have to agree to disagree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spider Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I agree that having tea and biscuits (your words, not mine) would be a step too far, but there's a big difference between not socialising with people and treating them with contempt which I thought you would be smart enough to work out for yourself. Let's leave it there if you don't agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Another thread on P&B reports that Cove don't provide post-match hospitality for visiting teams anyway, so the tea and biscuits situation won't be an issue. The QP team and officials will have to bring their own peece 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
