QOSQOS

For the record, what was the QOS support?

A game of two halves indeed. Under the cosh in the first half, as others have said, we seemed exposed on the left. May have got lucky with the offside goal, given the guy who crossed it was yards from our line I’m surprised if the Hamilton forward was ahead of the ball. But linesman was in line….. Second half we were a different team (or maybe Accies were…). Some of the stuff we played was surprisingly good, if the final ball could just have been better - too many crosses over hit or shots too close to keeper. With this new impregnable defence, we should just about make it…..

So, from someone who was there, were we suddenly ‘Galacticos’ or did Cove have a bad day at the office? Or something in between? Where’s Jack playing? Is he centre-forward as implied by BBC?

What he said…….

Er, one ‘fan’ said Albion time-wasted. Various other QOS fans including me said no they didn’t….

I was there yesterday, a draw was fair. Wind spoiled it a bit, lots of passes drifting out of play or going nowhere in particular ( yes, I know, that’s our normal game in good conditions…..). Stirling edged it first half, thought the goal was a bit scrappy, was it a misplaced shot from the edge of the box or a good pass? After nearly scoring in the first minute of the second half, Stirling sat back (or were pushed back?) and it was all Queens. We seemed be getting corner after corner without getting close, until the one that finally went in. If you keep sticking the ball in the danger area, sooner or late it goes in. Is the theory. With 15 left, I thought both teams went for it (no time wasting from Stirling), it was actually exciting. As Queens fans we were waiting on the inevitable sucker punch (story of our season), there chances at both ends but no more goals. To our fans not there, that’s a game we would have lost a few weeks ago. Thought Reilly put in a good shift.

Clean sheet? How did that happen?!?

I heard yesterday was our ‘youngest ever’ team, oldest was 23. Just curious, is that a fact or just speculation? Not sure where I would begin to check, it’s not stats that are immediately available.

The game was one of these games. Thought it was going to be a 0-0, and then it wasn’t. Not sure about the time-wasting, I thought we were as likely to sneak a winner than Falkirk. We slowed it down sometimes, but I wasn’t aware of any outrageous time-wasting. Anyway, what was with the non-occupation of the top three rows? (Only in the Queens end, nowhere else in the ground). The poor steward couldn’t explain why, he just said that was his orders. It caused mayhem, as the affected fans were utterly bamboozled as to why. The first lot shifted reluctantly, then fans arriving later filled up the same space, then there was another carry-on as the next lot kept asking why? Bizarre doesn’t begin to describe it. Anyone have any idea of the rationale behind this? (other than that, seriously impressive attendance yesterday. I have mates who are Falkirk fans and it is a venue I enjoy. I feel this is their time…)

Yes, link to highlights would be good?

Well done Annan, sincere best wishes from QOS fan. Looking forward to derbies and seeing so many ex-Queens players. Some of which are bound to score against us!

We beat Montrose 5-0 a few years ago, having lost the first leg 2-1. Think it was 5-0 at HT.

Our quarterly points were - 10 13 12 19 We only had 5 points after 6 games and there were some looking at the other end of the table. I felt we were stronger once MB took over, it just took a while to show (0-3 v Kelty still haunts me). I am feeling optimistic about next season, I expect MB to strengthen the team. What could possibly go wrong? We’ll have either Falkirk or Hamilton in the division (or both!) who you would think will be our main rivals. We’ll see……

Queens fan here. Just to say I spent the first half mixed up with City fans and enjoyed the banter. It’s good when you can sit side by side and enjoy the shared moans…. It was interesting hearing a bit about what else is going on behind the scenes, good luck with all that and I hope it works out. Eventually. And I apologise to the City guys for telling them that we were generally poor in the second half, despite our FT status. Just as well I changed ends.

Tickets now available for standing area, I’ve just got one
