If they were, then we were usually taking points off of them. Times change though and I do not grudge them a day in the sun, so to speak. Plenty of sun for you lot next season when you're travailing the seaside league. Get doon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan mosniack Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Doubt we will be in the seaside league next season but you never know. On the subject of derbies, we don't have any obvious rivals. Geographically it should be Annan but most Queens fans actually have a soft spot for them, unlike the bile routinely spewed over Gretna during their short lived existence. As for Tues night looking forward to having a few beers prior to visiting your ramshackle ground.

Jan mosniack Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Spelling went a bit awry in the last sentence. Just to add I also find the repetitive anti Ayr "song" embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to get in line behind Stranraer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know how long you’ve been following Queens but for as long as I can remember Stranraer have traditionally been our obvious rivals!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I can’t say I regard Ayr as any sort of derby rival. I’m sure that feeling is largely mutual. In all honesty I’d be happy if they got promoted this year. From what I’ve seen they play decent football and have had some excellent results like their demolition of United at Tannadice where they were superb. If they could be kind enough to play poorly tomorrow such that we get 3 points that would be just fine too [emoji106][emoji102] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Don’t know how long you’ve been following Queens but for as long as I can remember Stranraer have traditionally been our obvious rivals!!Aye it's always been Stranraer outwith the Gr£tna years. But even that isn't really a Derby now as they haven't been on the same level as us for quite some time. It would be good if Annan could get to a similar level but I still don't think there would be that 'hate' between us. Ayr isn't a Derby and the only reason I like them in our division is because it's a relatively close away ground. The same reason I'd really like Hamilton to come down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Ally Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) We really need to win this and I think we will just edge it. We are lacking creativity in the final third and need to go with a more attacking lineup rather than two ball winners in centre mid and a defensive winger. At home it is too negative and we are struggling to score due to this, as teams are just sitting deep and hitting us on the break. 1-0 Ayr (Shankland).

Helped that Inverness came and had ago but unfortunately QOTS will probably sit in and soak up the pressure 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took him to ten minutes to go on Saturday until he played with two wingers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's true I don't see him changing it either, especially as he still seemed reluctant to even when we were behind. I would start with closer to the team that finished the last game. I'd rather go out and try and score then make defensive changes if need be, than start off more conservative and end up conceding anyway.

QoS_Blue1919 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Dunno about Shankland but Dobbie certainly hasn't. We've been set up recently to hinder him rather than help. I put his lack of recent goals (open play) down to Naysmith's line-ups rather than Dobbie losing any form. Playing him as a lone striker is absolutely criminal. He’s scored 40 goals as the lone striker this season. Dykes has almost always played in behind him, like he did on Saturday before KJ was subbed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no coincidence we've been less threatening when Dobbie has been left isolated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
