Doonhamers vs. Formartine United; Scottish Cup R3

[Ftivano1]

Ftivano, any chance you can tell me your thoughts on the match as no one else - bar Bagapapa maybe - bothering ?

The Highlanders were a bit shell - shocked with the Dobmeisters 2 goals in the opening minutes but stuck to the task and actually looked a decent team bringing it back to 2 -1. Sir Stephen then passed up the chance for another hat - trick by
laying the ball on a plate for Dykes to score from very close range. All in all although 3 - 1 up the game was a bit flat and with less than 900 home fans in attendance there was little atmosphere. The second half was better and but for Dykes with a missed tap - in and Dobbie wildly shooting over the bar the score could have been more. Queens also hit the woodwork twice. The 4th goal was a thing of beauty though Mercer cutting in from the right and thundering a great
strike home. Partick Whistle will be a tougher opponent I would expect but Formantine deserved the applause they
received from the home fans in the main stand at the end of the game.

12/01/2008 QOS 4 v 0 Linlithgow Rose. Somewhat similar to yesterday's result. Two games later Ryan McCann 84 yards against Dundee albeit at Palmerston rather than away. An omen?

Footnote to the above.... Crowd v the Gallant Rosie Posie... 3062.Food for thought!

On a similar theme, I want to talk about Dumfries in general. I am often off for a couple of days midweek as a shift worker. When walking around Dumfries , I think to myself that a lot of these people I see shuffling around have nothing . You can tell they are in dire poverty . I dont know if other area's are as bad as I have only ever lived in this town. Bookmakers only ever thrive in poor area's as ordinary folk chase the never ,never or never ever if you like . Look how many we have on the High Street hoovering up money that those involved can barely afford to lose. Most of the factories dissapeared , losing hundreds of decent paid jobs and this place is hurting.

Out of interest, what’s the club’s pricing policy for people who are in receipt of benefits?

i think its an outragous 9 quid with proof of benafits ,well it was 2 seasons ago ,but the price for benafit people arnt on there price lists ,no one on benifits will know unless told by a current fan thats been doing it .,and i doubt many people on the dole will pay 9 quid anyways ,should be a fiver tops .

After 10 minutes, my hopes that we would make history were looking good. Diddies came back and things looked a wee bit shaky for ten minutes or so. Goal just before half time restored order. Second half routine having control for most of the time. Could and should have been more. Formartine much better than I expected, but they were still well beaten. Happy days. Given the next round draw I expect that this will be Queens' first and last hurrah in this final chance for any cup glory?

No reason why Queens shouldn't fancy their chances in a one off game against our old boss Jim McIntyre's side. Dundee have found points hard to come by but they did get a very good draw on Saturday after being 2-0 down to Hibs.

on the scottish cup i reckon the dundee game could go either way ,there week link is there defence ,they look a decent team going forward ,so its going to all depend on what approach queens go there with ,and what dundee team turns up on the day ,i predict a close one up there ,we have to be on the front foot going down the wings to hurt them tho .thay get caught out advancing down the wings is what costs them in games we need to have the faith to keep our wingers up the park to take advantage .

Dobbie up front on his own with 5 across midfield will probably be the tactic. We've never been daring under Naysmith in big games

Ripping up the pitch as he scores?
