What was the final score?

Looks okay for the game but nobody's getting home. Think the ref will have a view on that too. Short-odds for February. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/0/2655819

What like is the lad Hawke any good? Utter shite. Don't waste the bus fare coming down for a look.

We all know Fallin is the Brexit capital of Scotland.

Actually, we had to change managers because Gus decided to leave. For the fourth game in a row, we could end up in the top 4 on Saturday depending on results elsewhere, and us winning of course. What a time to be alive. Mrs BYOS once pointed out to me that "it seems to me most teams lose and only a few win at football". It was crushing at the time but from her impassionate position, she was right. As much as Gus had the right to move on I've got the right to stick with my favourite club and watch my favourite team in the rank rotten division of a rank rotten league. I've more respect for all the loyal fans of clubs in Scotland's rotten and rank rotten divisions than I'd ever have for the happy clappers who hang onto the big clubs. Rank rotten and proud! I see a sales opportunity for the club shop here.

Now there's a conversation over a sherry or two

Forgot to mention the beautiful goal...and a pretty decent effort for SA

Agree with all of that except the Gow part. He looked great for the first 30 but started being greedy, maybe because it was his third trial, and made a few wrong choices. Faded badly in the second. Getting the ball to Martin's feet showed how good the lad could be. He and Summers were playing some really nice balls through the channels and his touchline dribbling was a treat. Have to say Gerry was caught badly at the goal and both his bookings. No. 10 had him lost all day. Individuals aside though it was another game of one half with passing, where we dominated, and the other with longer passes, where we didn't dominate. Wasn't hoofball in the second but plenty of times when better use of the ball could have been productive. Still, plenty of chances to win this game though. Honeymoon definitely over for Mark.

Don’t need help on any level from you. Last season you were a Ladeside fan. Now you’re competent to pass judgement on our committee AND be the spokeperson for the whole squad. Just because one player you know came home from training in a huff doesn’t mean that reflects what the rest thinks. Seen plenty like you before. They all moved on when their pal in the team did. So will you.

As confirmed by Jordan Hart at the end of this.... Joe coconuts needs to be more careful. He’s been a QP fan since a couple of players joined us in the summer from Kilbirnie Ladeside. Really narrows down who his (or her) snout is. Maybe some other players would be disappointed to know that what goes on in the boot room isn’t staying in the boot room. The committee are there to run our football club and a big part of that is fiscal prudence. As a fan in his 49th season I’d be very disappointed if they blew the kitty on a Christmas party just so occasional visitors could like them. There’s a lot of folks around who can only dream of that money at Christmas.

Interesting story Joe coconuts. it's likely to have many layers this one so maybe best on the QP thread where QP fans can discuss. Don't want to be troubling SAFC fans with this nonsense on a match thread.

Good luck to him. Played a key role in the team that achieved our highest league position in 60 years.

Latest edition of the splendid pre-match brochure available now. Insightful piece, as always, by Big Beardie and a decent section for the Bino fans too. And for those that like a gossip about whos' gone, the player list has Lachlan missing but still has Nimmo and Osadolar, the latter definitely looking like he was in the Strollers midweek. But let's not let facts get in the way of a good story. Enjoy the game... http://www.queensparkfc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/QP-v-Stirling-Albion-8th-December-2018.pdf

Something not quite right about this topic. Something missing. Can't put my finger on it.

2 replies so far. As gripping as the Elgin v Rovers topic.
