SCOTTISH CUP QOS v St.Johnstone

[aloreburn]

Are they certain that it is ok to clear the snow like that without damaging the pitch?

Do you honestly think if there was any danger of it damaging the pitch they'd go ahead and do it ?

They're not daft you know

Was just at Palmerston buying tickets . The lady in office said sales were very steady and workmen were wheelbarrowing snow out of the ground . Round the back of the Portland Drive end is still thick, slippy ice so take care tomorrow .

Going by reports on the P&B site , St Johnstone are bringing a large travelling support tomorrow afternoon . They estimate anything between 800 - 1000 fans .

Should be a cracking atmosphere . Hope the Police let the Queens young team enjoy themselves tomorrow & they're not constantly staring at them & using their bully boy tactics like previous weeks

I remember going to muirton park for a cup game in 1967, I think.

St j beat queens 5 2

A guy called Henry hall played fo st Johnstone at the time. He must have been a pretty decent player for me to remember that.

Can't remember who scored for queens.

I think carlisle were playing Everton in the f a cup on the same day and my dad had tried to get tickets for that or maybe he didn't.

Anyway we ended up in Perth.

All a bit vague now.

Just when you read stuff saying that you're supposed to put special salt down to prevent ice forming or snow lying in the first place and that you can lift some of the rubber crumb by shovelling snow.
But you're right. You'd need to be pretty thick to post a video online of your employees busy making a warranty invalid. So it must be fine.

They will definitely want to try out our young keeper asap whether that be deep crosses or long shots . Really looking forward to it . Scotland's game of the day with two decent sides who are both capable of ' doing' each other.

Very tough game in prospect today, Saints have a really strong squad of players and could field two strong teams with the players they have.O' Halloran
must be one of the fastest strikers in the premiership, so he'll be very difficult to mark. This is Queens sternest test of the season, so lets hope the team turn in a performance like they did against Gers, because this is a step up in class against a decent preiership team.
Queens will need to keep possession well because any slack passes will be punished against Saints. Let's hope Queens can start the game at a high tempo and go on the attack and score the 1st goal.Should be a good atmosphere and a good game
let's hope Queens can manage a victory. C'mon Queeeeeens!

"so lets hope the team turn in a performance like they did against Gers"

I sincerely hope that they do.The most solid,disciplined and attack minded peformance for a long time.If the same game plan is taken today then there is every chance that the Supersouth will be in the hat for the quarter final draw.
Fear and respect no one...MON THE SOUTH,GERRINTAETHEM!
