Alert Mongoose Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 My only concern is that we had a horrific record against Gretna back in the day while every other club seemed to pump them. Are there any similarities between Gretna and Queens Park? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 No similarities at all. Gretna had their own ground, a decent coach, actually did make it to the premier league and you could get a pie for £1.50 rather than £3.60 at Hampden. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 12 hours ago, Bring Your Own Socks said: I remember a cup-tie played at Airdrie in early 1999 which was a draw but never went to the replay. Don’t recall anything after that? Aye it went to a replay: I was at both games, Queen's Park had a decent side, but can't recall why they played the first match at Airdrie. 2 hours ago, Granny Danger said: Christ I hope we’re not going to concede yet another goal. I see your point, but reckon there's a good chance QP will score, it's their defence which has been the major issue this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way I could keep track of the score. No electronic screens in those days. I have raked through my "bits and pieces" drawer and found a piece of string which could come in very handy on Saturday. My last visit to Tannadice was a million years ago, 1978, for a Scottish Cup quarter final which we lost 2-0, if my memory serves me right. I remember it well. A terracing like the North Face of the Eiger and Ian the Alky practising for the shot putt at the Moscow Olympics! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever get drawn against us at Tannadice in a cup game you should bring up a load of the £1.50 pies and sell them outside the ground, you will make a fortune. Please remember to refer to them ‘pehs’ in any promotional material or the locals won’t know what you’re talking about and you’ll be left with them all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but our defence has, for the most part, been rock solid. The addition of Gandalf will help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 We've been utter gash the last couple of games and it's hard to see the run of defeats ending on Saturday. We desperately need a decent performance or a pish performance and a win or draw. Hopefully Thomson is back where he should be in midfield. Longridge at right back? Probably. I'd take a draw now but that'll change after a few sherbets. Away win banker. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 Before a ball is kicked can I say what a pleasurable experience it has been to share a thread with Queen’s Park fans. Committed to their team and willing to engage in a bit of banter yet none of the snarkiness of many of the Morton fans of a fortnight ago. Obviously I want us to win tomorrow but for those of you travelling I hope you enjoy your day and for all of you I hope you have a successful season. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to snarkiness, Morton posters are in a small class of their own. The other contenders for Bams of the Year last season were your blood brothers down the road so, quid pro quo, it’s a pleasant surprise to find United fans so civilised. Your wants regards the match outcome are pretty much guaranteed. Our morphing process is still in the embryo phase. Enjoy the game! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Not since the last amateur League One campaign have I been so convinced that we’re in for an absolute hounding. Only thing in our favour is my track record of being consistently wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
