Dougie Mills Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 55 minutes ago, 19QOS19 said: I'd sooner be away to Stranraer than Edinburgh. We've played Edinburgh away but not at home and derby matches are always better being the away side. I know that distaste for Stranraer isn't what it once was but I'd still prefer to play them at Stair Park. We’ve played Edinburgh away at Meadowbank before but they are groundsharing with Spartans next season I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they still there? They were there all last season. Forgot they had been there. Not been to Spartans so hope we are away there if they are still playing there. They had two ex Queens keepers last season in Calum Antell and Fraser Morton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly seem to be playing their pre-season friendlies there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisxiv Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 3 hours ago, Monkey Tennis said: In hindsight, it maybe hasn't been a great move, but it made plenty sense for him (and Rangers) at the time. In fact, even in hindsight, it might not look that bad. His career since suggests that he's a decent player at Scottish second tier level and probably wasn't likely to get an awful lot higher. As is though, he got to play for a massive club he supported at that level. He's possibly sincere enough, and even wise in having no real regrets. Fair play. He does come across an ok bloke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QoS_Blue1919 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 “When you go to rangers, you don’t expect to be paying every game” (or words to that affect). I still believe Nicky Clark would’ve been better at Queens. If you are to be a premiership quality player , you have to be playing virtually every week when you’re 21/22. I see the appeal of moving to Rangers, big club, boyhood fan etc, but that move potentially cost him a more successful career. In saying that he still has time on his side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
football maniac Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 2 hours ago, Skyline Drifter said: Yep, it's off. Will be formally cancelled next week. Hopefully can get in a replacement friendly at home. In some ways the Betfred cup has taken away the potential to play non Scottish teams in friendlies for teams like us as most will still either still be on their summer holidays or at the very beginning of pre season when we arrange them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessieField Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I'll have a wild guess at the following fixture list in the Betfred Cup, Match 1 away to Clyde, Match 2 (midweek), home to Edinburgh City, Match 3 away to Motherwell, Match 4 home to Stranraer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I would love to try and get to stranraer away if thats what comes up i the group fixtures. That or i would prefer well at home. Well home Stranraer away Clyde home City away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakpiegravy Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Totally agree with all that. I’ll always remember his goal at Palmy that beat Gretna’s record of goals in a season. Not the greatest Queens memory but hugely enjoyable all the same. I was in the Portland Street end and recall much jubilation. Yep. But I remember being in a fairly small minority on the Mad website who thought he was worth hanging onto after that first season. I’m not often right but... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Sorry if this is off topic but I'm sure I'd asked @Skyline Drifter about the new Reserve League lately. St Johnstone have come out discussing why they won't be taking part. Edited May 27, 2018 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 St Johnstone should just send Jason Kerr back out to us to continue his development then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Question for SD (or anybody itk), are there details of any events planned to mark the Club's Centenary Year apart from the special playing kits being released? On the playing side, I'm hoping we can mark the occasion with a top 4 finish (a long shot possibly) and/or a decent run in one of the major domestic cups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one of Mark Blount's blogs said, a Centenary Committee has been formed and are working on a few ideas. There is definitely a new Iain McCartney book. They are trying to get a suitable friendly. I would be surprised if there isnt a dinner. I am not on the committee though so no idea how far they have got with any of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleinfaethetoon Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 A book and a dinner [emoji23][emoji23] surely they can line up a glamour friendly and why not try encourage the organisers of 80’s Rewind to play Palmerston next summer instead of my adopted home town of Perth, May help the club engage more with the people of dumfries once again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
