Katboy Posted Monday at 13:29 Share Posted Monday at 13:29 Obviously it has been a while since we've been to Ochilview. I'm looking forward to this, as was a ground I always liked visiting in the past. Can away fans still pay at the gate? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted Monday at 14:50 Share Posted Monday at 14:50 Last time I went to Ochilview big Jimmy Thomson got his cheek bone broken in a head clash. IIRC it was a 0-0 draw and a dreadful game at that. Hopefully better fare this time ... especially now we've got the apostrophes sorted ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time the teams shared a division was the 2012/13 season, where the Doonhamers leathered everything they faced (although the Warriors were one of the few sides to beat them, albeit at the fag end of the campaign when the title was wrapped up)... Good post that. Oh, for that QOS side again - thanks for the reminder @Francesc Fabregas! Think Nicky Clark banged in 40 goals that season ... if only. And of course we had the majestic and sadly missed Chris Mitchell outstanding at FB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can remember being at an away game against Stenny and him getting pelters from ours fans. From what I recall at the time of said pelters and asking why it was happening, the feeling among them was that the broken jaw wasn't exactly an accident. (I was a lot younger and never witnessed the incident so no idea if that was an accurate take). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just recall the clash, thought it was a clash of heads (big JT never backed out of any head contact did he) but I could be wrong, and the game being stopped for quite some time as he was treated by the medical team and was taken from the pitch. Sure someone will recall more than me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course we can ... we are QOS after all, it's what we do. Plus, being an ex-manager who was seen to fail at Palmerston, he'll want to get one over us. That said, I'm starting to tentatively build a bit of belief in this squad (and we've got the apostrophes in early after all) ... there, I've gone and said it ... fate well and duly tempted. MT will be along at 5 pm on Saturday to remind me of this post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure someone will recall more than me. I had forgotten it until you mentioned it but have hazy memories of the whole thing. It was definitely Ferguson. I can't recall if it was a head clash or an elbow but I do remember a bit of controversy and accusations it had been deliberate. I can't recall the detail though. Must have been the 01/02 title winning season. We've played at Ochilview at least 5 times since then. We've won on 5 of our last 6 visits to Stenhousemuir. The exception is the one @Francesc Fabregas mentions when, on 16th April 2013, we lost 2-1 there after the League had already been clinched. We gave starts to young Steven Black and Pat Slattery that night but it was otherwise a strong side, albeit one playing for nothing other than a record points total. To be fair, we clinched the title that season in March on a pitch cleared of snow before we played (and would have done so earlier if Brechin could have got their pitch playable earlier and didn't have so many games in hand). We still kept battering most sides. Stenny's achievement in being only the 2nd side to beat us that season shouldn't be dismissed, and the only one to do so without a highly controversial penalty kick. That 2nd division Championship season is the only time we've shared a division since 2002 until now. The other three games were two League Cup ties and a Challenge Cup one in 2018. We fielded a shadow side that night too under one G Naysmith with Declan Tremble making his only start for the club for instance whilst youngsters Owen Bell and Jack Leighfield made early career appearances too but threw on Stephen Dobbie and Gary Harkins as second half subs to make sure we actually won it, Dobbie and Lyndon Dykes combining for all three goals in a 3-0 win.

Cheers SD. We can only dream now of throwing on the likes of Dobbie and Harkins to bolster a front line with Dykes already in it ... happy daze ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pengie1919 Posted Wednesday at 03:32 Share Posted Wednesday at 03:32 Is there still a bar at the stadium which allows away supporters in before the game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QOSQOS Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago I was at the game in the championship season where we lost 2-1, we only lost 2 games all season and I was at that one! We were about 25 points clear and had won the thing weeks before, but I was miffed at the time…. From what I recall, it felt like a friendly but Stennie deserved their win, it wasn’t two breakaway goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
