Anyone other than a football supporter would regard that as petty and vindictive behaviour, and note that you would almost certainly have got better value by going to Subway.

I know when Gretna were doing their thing they were probably the main but that was like a 5 year bubble. Was that enough? Stranraer have been around much longer, but the distance... And then there's Annan? Do you consider anyone as your rivals? The young team absoulotely hate the much more successful Ayr United so much so they were caught singing anti-Ayr United songs in a Scottish cup tie against Aberdeen. A bizzare episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt actually like Subway much anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowland star Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Not sure if correct but I am sure that game at Gretna was all ticket and I got a call at 2pm to say I could get a ticket I was changed and in Gretna for 245 it was a great day . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong started sponsoring Gretna in 2003-04. Was Mileson not on board by then? Although the Subway related pettiness is clearly admirable, I have to wonder where such principle over perceived pragmatism disappeared to in 2012.

If we had a core of a squad together it would not be so bad but to only have 3 players signed makes us miles behind any other Championship team . When does training start back before the end of August ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the Subway related pettiness is clearly admirable, I have to wonder where such principle over perceived pragmatism disappeared to in 2012. So they did thought they were on board when Gretna entered the league a year earlier but that was Gretna Gateway I see. Mileson came onboard in late 02 / early 03 but didnt take over control till sometime in 03/04. Details are vague about exactly when. As for 2012, we've been over this interminably. I just dont care enough about Rangers to get my knickers in a twist about them. You do. Your principles are not mine.

It seems that the Gretna issue really was entirely local for you, because when clubs spend suicidally beyond their means, while a compliant press lauds their associated 'achievements', you're sometimes fine with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 That's good to know. Glad he is still involved with the club. Posts all the time in the unofficial QOS Facebook page as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main seed is ok, Rather St Mirren than Kilmarnock and I'd rather not play against Lyndon either, though I'd guess he'll likely be gone by the time we play. We were always going to get another Championship side too so I'd rather have Morton who are also major rebuilding than Dunfermline or Ayr. Bottom end is horrible though with two of the three full time sides in the lower divisions including a no doubt point to prove Partick Thistle. Lot of recent ex players too with Kyle Jacobs, Gary Oliver (bound to score), Connor Murray, Darren Brownlie, Mikey Doyle and Lee Kilday in there already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I'll be happy enough for AJ to use these games to find out his best formation. Given the amount of games Dobbie was isolated up front last season I'm skeptical he can figure out his best formation in 4 games, but you get my point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the order of fixtures, it might only be 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
