I too found our league campaign in 2012/13 tedious.

Maybe we should try it at forthbank too and bring back some 90s glory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too found our league campaign in 2012/13 tedious. You must know how laughable it comes across on the outside to say your team winning a lot for one season ever was “tedious”? It’s absolutely nothing like the OF either, as they have the same thing every single year. I swear some fans have almost a martyr complex about how special they are for choosing to support a diddy team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Was the 2012/2013 barnstorming L1 title campaign tedious? Well, not for me. I don't think you can equate that with the legions of OF hordes who rock up season after season after season to watch their over-advantaged sides relentlessly batter the substantially lesser opposition. I went to our games that season fully aware that the Queens side were a level above the opposition, but equally knowing that it was a one-off season that was very unlikely to be repeated in my time and our football played that season was a joy to watch. As @19QOS19 has said, and like many QOS fans, I don't demand that we land silverware each season but what I do like to see is a team that's competitive for its level and the knowledge that we've got a good chance of success in any game. Queens should be capable of that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efe Ambrose has always been a calamity yet as you say he keeps going on about the individual mistakes which to me is clear as day he has underestimated the level and assumed Efe etc wouldn't make mistakes as playing in L1. He's a bombscare MB and surely be gone soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find it laughable if you like, I just don't find non-competitive football all that interesting. It wasn't that we were a good team to watch, it was that we were streets ahead of everyone else. Ffs we were 1-0 down to a decent Arbroath side at HT in one game and had a man sent off. We came out and played 3-3-3 and won 5-1. Being that far ahead of the opposition is boring to me regardless of what you say. It started off really well that season but was predictable and boring long before the end of the season. The draw away to Livi at the start of the next season was far more enjoyable for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear some fans have almost a martyr complex about how special they are for choosing to support a diddy team. Nah, It's not a question of martyrdom. If it was, we'd be embracing this season. It's a recognition though, that mismatches aren't that attractive or engaging. I did enjoy watching a good Queens side that season and got a kick out of our Challenge Cup win via a demanding route. I did, however, get a bit tired of the inevitability of our league wins. I found myself greeting our goals with applause while remaining seated. That can't be right. Anyway, this line of discussion only came about due to a plea for 'investment', with the Wrexham nonsense getting cited. Of course a season like that of 2012/13 would be wildly preferable to any of the last 5. I think we're just making the point though, that we're not craving dominance, just a side that doesn't constantly let us down. Personally, I don't think it's that odd a stance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Just watched the lowlights. Can't be bothered dissecting the goals, complete amateur league stuff sums it up. But on the red card, was it higher up the leg than it looked on the video? Thought it was a petulant outburst from Docherty but a laughable decision to give that as red IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
