palmy_cammy Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I’m looking forward to it. After sneaking into the playoffs last week this is a good opportunity to prove we are genuine contenders. We haven’t a great record in games of any significance under Naysmith so this will be a good test of our bottle and desire.Tall order without Dobbie and Harkins of course.

Guest Flash Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Could be aff. Now forecasting heavy snow as well as wind very close to the levels that saw Ayr v ICT postponed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/0/2650798 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I'd be happy to see this game go ahead in gale force weather conditions. It'd definitely be an improvement on the shitshow we'll witness if it's normal conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nithsdale Wanderer Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 If that forecast is still valid tomorrow then the game should definitely be postponed. It's time the Governing bodies and Clubs considered supporters in these conditions. The high winds alone are bad enough and lessons need to be learned from the Ayr postponement last week. That should have been called off much earlier. It's hard enough to attract fans but to expect people to fork out to watch a complete farce in high winds is just unacceptable. I'm sure we had an abandonment at home to Falkirk a few years ago, which quite simply should never have started. The severe winds also ruined what should have been a rip-roaring SCQF at home to Falkirk in 2015 between two really good teams. That was a huge disappointment that night , again which should never have gone ahead although I suspect because it was on TV there was more pressure to put it on. Bit of a theme here but going back to Jan 2009, the Cup Tie away to Falkirk was completely ridiculous and should have never been played. The Cup Final bounce was very evident though as 1002 away fans turned up ! Given that in addition to the wind factor, low temperatures and snow are forecast , the game should be called off tomorrow.

Rjc-1988 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Despite the fact that we will be without Messrs Dobbie and Harkins I was amazed to see that several bookies have Dunfermline priced up as favourites for this game at around 6/5. Clearly the absence of these two players is a big negative for us but Dunfermline’s form of late hardly justifies a short priced favourite’s tag away from home??I must admit I was expecting to see us at around 6/4 max but we are over 2/1 with all bookies.I just wonder whether they know something that we don’t? Hopefully we are not set to field 2/3 trialists from the Lowland League or we have a virus outbreak that is unreported? These prices simply don’t stack up but when these “rogue” figures emerge you have to be very sceptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Load on it then !Have confidence !As I say there is no logic to this pricing unless there is info that has not surfaced yet.When Ross County visited us earlier in season they were top of league, in good form and were priced at around 13/8. Pars are in poor form, are 4 points behind us and are 6/5 which I think is the shortest price by far allocated to any visiting team in the league at Palmerston.It will be interesting to see how the price moves in the run up to the match. I am very tempted to lump on at these prices but it is Queens we are talking about after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are defeated on Saturday then we'll have lost the same amount of games by mid-December, as we did in the whole of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 QOTS with the snow machines just in case until Dobbie gets back. Six feet of snow just inside the six yard box. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually said an early postponement- it is you that is saying a day in advance not me.My definition of early is a postponement before fans have set off so I would sincerely hope that if the forecast is the same as it is now on Sat morning a decision would be taken by say 10.00am.If the wind is blowing at 50 mph on Sat morning with snow also threatening - what is your definition of “giving the game every chance”?

Strange indeed. Train to Lockerbie and then bus to Dumfries way faster. Suspect somebody may have told you this at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
