Parkgatequeens Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 This is a bore fest. No one is interested in a game against a team from the same league yet again. I still wonder if it was Man United's withdrawal from the FA Cup that destroyed Cup football in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Big match for both teams each could do with a good cup run/next round draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Ok. We've done this before. Queens' next two games are at Dumbarton. The first is a Cup tie; the second a league game. Fans of both sides are allowed to choose one win and one defeat over the two games. The choice of order for these two outcomes is down to the fan. I don't want to hear mealy mouthed bleating about 'can't we win both?', for the answer is no. You may have one win and one defeat. I'll start by choosing a Cup victory and no points from the League game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Interesting. Thank you for playing and for displaying such regard for the rules.May I ask for the reasoning behind your choice? Avoiding the bottom 2 spots in the League is the aim. Would also like us to record a rare League win v Queens, for a change. In fact, I'm going to soil things & say I want us to win both matches. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I think we seem to be settling on a pattern of Queens wanting the cup win, and us taking the league points. That'll do for me, can we just not play the 2 games and settle up that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Gratified to see that the Cup runneth over for most Queens fans at least. The picture was less clear cut when we faced a similar double header against Hamilton a couple of seasons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Gratified to see that the Cup runneth over for most Queens fans at least. The picture was less clear cut when we faced a similar double header against Hamilton a couple of seasons ago. There is a direct relevance though to how important the League points are. The Hamilton double header was in McIntyre's season and in the first week of November when many were concerned about the possibility of relegation and looking over our shoulders. Some possibly even harboured ambitions of promotion in what was a fairly open division before the Rangers / Hearts / Hibs arrival and saw it as three crucial points. I doubt anyone is too concerned about the points right this second. We're not going down and whilst we may yet get 4th (whatever Northfield thinks) actually getting promotion this season is pretty unlikely as it will require us to win three playoff ties against bigger sides. With that in mind the distraction of a cup run appeals a lot more. We missed a great chance to get to Hampden last season, losing in the wind at home to Falkirk who went on to reach the final and nearly win it. It's not a massive pipe dream to suggest with a bit of luck we could get there again. Plus from my point of view the attraction of unbudgeted income is significant. It's entirely understandable that Dumbarton fans are more concerned at this point with keeping themselves away from the bottom spots and more of them would be attracted by the three points.
