HoBNob Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 24 minutes ago, Monkey Tennis said: So for Queens to continue to occupy the division they've been in for seventeen of the last eighteen seasons would constitute punching above their weight? Aye, ok. Aye, it's almost like football is ever changing. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Arbroath had a very similar budget to QoTS, they've certainly got a higher average attendance and I'd imagine they'll have less expenses that come with maintaining a full time squad. AJ consistently had us roughly, sometimes below where our budget placed us in the division, it's not a shock that QoTS who will have one of the lowest budgets in the division and in turn are at the bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not a shock that we're in the lower reaches of the table, given the club's stature. Similarly, it's not remotely true to say we can only stay put this season, by punching above our weight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Arbroath didn't vote tory so that makes them a smidgen bigger and better. C'est la vie, enjoy the playoff Queens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's in a constituency that covers a very large geographical area. Besides, I don't think we'll make the play-offs this time.

Rudolph Hucker Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Monkey Tennis said: Needing to not finish behind sides like Alloa and Arbroath, requires no punching above our weight. Sorry, but taking this season on a standalone basis it most certainly does. To believe otherwise is positively Johnstonesque. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereismillar Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 you implied it by saying Arbroath didn't unlike the other 2 , but i have heard our chairman vote's tory ? so that might work . hard to believe him being a Sellick fan apparently , but if its good enough for Rod .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QoTS voting in favour of Rangers and Dumfries voting tory is a solid indication that part of the country is full of wrong 'uns IMO.

1320Lichtie Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I had a Forfar bridie once. Well, I say had, I took one bite then got my stomach pumped. Never again. Absolute joke. Depends where you go. I used to think they were overrated too then one day my dad picked up a steak one for me in Forfar on his way home from work, absolutely superb. Ones in the ground are shite.Smokie in the garden on a nice summers day better though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I had a bridie last season at East End and didn’t think it was up to much. Maybe I just got a bad one but the pastry to filling ratio was far too high and it was overcooked. Fight me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagyar 2nd Tier Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Are we now debating the relegation battle in the Scottish Bakers League?. If so then Bells are certain for automatic drop. They are honking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
