The statement put out by the club is spot on. Don't drop food and deposit waste in bins. Dumfries has had a particular problem with them for years and while relaxing legislation to enable local authorities to remove nests etc it is, in the main, something that we can all help with by depriving the birds of food. The mess that they leave in and around Palmerston by fouling seats etc is hardly something to attract people to our ground. I feel your pain, we've got a similar problem with the damn things at Somerset........... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 We think more of the seagulls than supporters in Scotland a joke our towns and councillors need to do something The simple answer to the problems associated with gulls is to deprive them of food.

I don't disagree with what they have said but the place has been covered long before this season and it's absolutely filthy in some areas. Feeding them is obviously moronic but they find a way to feed regardless. You just need to see the mess they leave binbags in up the town. They are vermin and they should be culled. They tend to nest at the same places every year as well so why don't the council destroy the nests before they lay? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably would if they had enough people to do so but it’s an impossible job for one groundsman. Would you or anyone else like to offer their services ..?

He has been around for quite a while by all accounts and seems not to be doing enough to get anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think it's acceptable unless you clean it yourself then more fool you. If the club are quick enough to have a pop at the fans for the situation maybe they should work on their own shortcomings as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) That's a mental signing, scored no goals from open play in the league last season, signed to replace Nicky Clarks goals and it was his lack of goals that arguably got AJ the sack. http://www.qosfc.com/news-4655 Was also heavily rumoured as one of the bad apples in the dressing room.

19QOS19 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 El Bak was woeful last season any time I saw him. If he does sign hopefully he finds some form alongside Dobbie, though I think that would be harsh on Oliver. I'd still rather another midfielder though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueSue Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I am happy to reserve judgement on El Bak. Obviously there is a decent player in there. There will be the usual posts of his ex teams support saying how shite he was. That’s par for the course ( pun not intended) Would very much hope the midfielder needed will be in place before the league game away at Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Very happy to share this with whomever it's relevant to share to: Certainly a good player in there somewhere, methinks the lad's just down on his luck. Hope he and Dobbie work well together... unless you're playing us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggysBeard Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I felt the style of play last season didn't suit him, he's still got quality in there. It was if AJ tried to use him as a target man last season. I still think if you get him in form then you'll have one of the best players in the division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is obvious to poster before you virginton. Who, I would imagine has seen the lad play more than you week in week out. I am happy to reserve judgement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 A signing that smells of desperation to me. A standout in League One with a certain striker playing alongside him in the majority of matches but was awful last season. I’ve not seen anything from him to suggest he can perform above League One level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
