Greenacres Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Very difficult tie for Queens . Long journey up to Aberdeen . We are playing against a team full of experienced players most ex SPL. Cove will be full of confidence we are a very young squad having a up and down season . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Greenacres, do you have a template for your opening posts, it's just repetition of the same negative drivel with the opposition name changed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Blue Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 To be fair to Greenacres, I can't imagine there's many, if any Queens fans with anything positive to say just now. Still, you never know .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 OK, call me hypocritical after my previous post but you could offer me a private helicopter to take me up to this game, with a slap-up meal and centrally heated viewing gallery to watch the game in thrown in, but I doubt I'll be making the effort to go to this one. If I was going it would probably be to tick off one of the few grounds I've not been to before. Queens will be the underdogs so there's a very slight chance they'll pull off a shock. I would have been happy if they'd manage to get a replay out of it, but amarite that the ties are now decided on the day with extra time and penalties if needed? I always enjoy good cup run but it's very doubtful if Queens will manage one this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure the no replays rule comes into play in round 4 in January so if this game ends in a draw on Saturday we will indeed take Cove back to “Fortress Palmerston” [emoji15] for a replay. Edit to add the SFA site confirms that any required replay will be on Tuesday 7th December with 7.45 kick off. https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/third-round-fixture-information-2021-22/?rid=14258 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 To be fair to Greenacres, I can't imagine there's many, if any Queens fans with anything positive to say just now. Still, you never know .... There is very little positive to say just now. Northfield's comments won't be out of place. The problem is it's the same tedious shite from the guy regardless of how the side are doing. He offers absolutely nothing to a discussion other than complaining constantly. Have a look back at some match threads and 9/10 he's posted missing when we win. I'm a pessimistic fan but even then you give praise when it's due. FWIW, McBookie have Cove at 13/10 just now. Pretty shocked they aren't odds on tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Roy for Cameron in my opinionAgree. I don't think Roy is our saviour per se but he's a far bigger goal threat than Cameron has shown to be so far. IIn his defence, it's a thankless task being asked to pluck the ball out the air all the time but even with it at his feet I've yet to see what all the fuss is about. I'd much prefer Cameron alongside Roy but as we know, AJ will persist with this losing formula until such times as he doesn't have the bodies available to carry it out so it'll have to be one striker to choose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that will prevent AJ selecting his boy ahead of Todd is if Max is injured, or the highly unlikely situation that Motherwell don't want him cup-tied. Week in, week out if and when the midfield aren't performing well Max gets 90 minutes while every other midfielder takes turns to get hooked before being benched the week after. I'd like to see Connelly playing in the hole behind a front two of Roy and Paton but AJ seems to think Cameron up top on his own is the answer to our goalscoring problem. (It isn't). I have to say that I've rarely felt less excited about a QOS Scottish Cup tie and have mixed feelings about how I'd like it to go. Win, and we have chance of a moneyspinning draw but AJ stinks the place out for a bit longer... lose, and he HAS to go, no ifs, no buts.

die hard doonhamer Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Only going to this to tick Cove off the list, as we’re not going to get the chance in the league next season. Comfortable home win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Johnston's thinking on starting line-up: Brynn Johnston Cameron (if Killie allow) Plus any other 8 (except Todd and Roy of course) Subs: Todd, Roy and whoever's left that travelled up. His thinking on fomation: Maybe 4-4-2 or 5-3-2 or 4-1-4-1 or 3-4-3 or 3-5-1-1 or 3-5-2. Fuckit, let the players work it out for themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katboy Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Looking forward to this tie, mainly to chalk another ground off my list. Cove are playing well at present, and we are not so they will rightly fancy their chances. A defeat here has got to spell the end for Johnston. Not sure what I want from this, naturally I'd like a win and a good cup run to bring in some revenue. However a win here would just buy him more time. It would probably be better to take the defeat (that most of us expect) on the chin, and get this clown of a manager out. Can we really see our board of directors taking the necessary action though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I think we'll probably lose this. Unfortunately, however, I don't think our manager will be sacked as a result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marinello Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 'Well fan here. Going to Cove as their ground is the last senior ground for me to visit. I also very much like the early rounds of the Scottish Cup where honest endeavour and the dream of getting a 'big team' in the following round makes for great excitement. This season I took in Newtongrange Vs Dalbeattie in first round and St Cuthbert Wanderers Vs Gala Fairydean Rovers in the second. If Cove Vs QOS offers the same interest then a good day is assured Fwiw I see Cove edging it but if QOS can play like they did at Fir Park in League Cup then they could be in the hat for 4 th round 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
