  1. Not Sportsound, but David Tanner on Sky promoted the upcoming Hibs v Dundee Utd game by saying "both are playing out of their division". No they're not. Both were deservedly relegated, and one has deservedly stayed down for three seasons hence, because both weren't good enough for the top flight.

  3. Tend to agree with this. It was very short lived but there was definitely a rivalry with Mileson's Gretna, mostly of their creation. Prior to his arrival they were seen largely as Annan are now, as a smaller local side that most Queens fans were happy to see do well and maybe even went to watch if Queens werent playing. In contrast to Stranraer who were and are traditional rivals though like Grant said, not one I would wish genuine ill to. Gretna was different. There was genuine hatred of what they became. Their "business model" (dont laugh!) was basically to invade Dumfries and take our fans and future fans. As much as a shyster as Mileson was he wasnt stupid and knew that the only way to grow the Gretna brand was to impinge on our catchment. So he bankrolled a programme whereby Gretna provided free coaching for Dumfries schools, gave hundreds of free tickets to families in Dumfries, sponsored local youth teams and combined with the recruitment of premier standard players, winning every week and sugar coated media coverage all led to a significant attack on our club. I still havent truly forgiven one of my wife's friends who thought it was funny to ask why I didnt "go watch a good team like Gretna" when I came back from some fruitless trip up Scotland to see Queens lose while she and her family had watched the Gretna machine they couldnt have named a player at a year earlier dismantle some other group of innocents on their free schools tickets. Or clowns who threw their lot into following the glory at Gretna and were quick to tell you how much better than Queens they were in the pub. And thats a decade on. I revelled in their defeats and was almost delighted when the thing collapsed like the house of cards we had said it was all along while the media fawned like sycophants over Mileson and his lending his car to 'Dr Goals' and making donations to Supporters Trust at half the teams they met. And yet they were undeniably good for us in the long run. The immediate benefit of nabbing Tosh, McQuilken and Macfarlane and ending up in the cup final is obvious, as is the fact that their longest serving player is now our manager, but it was more in the background that long term response was crucial. The club and fans were galvanised. A genuine community programme was instigated that still runs today. We got involved in schools ourselves and rethought our own strategies to address the challenge. It was being met even before they imploded and we are a much bigger and stronger club now with far greater roots in our own community. Gretna are back to being a local club serving their community and one I am happy to see do well, particularly at the moment with four of our players on loan there and the likes of Stuart Rome, Danny Armstrong, Jack Dickinson and Dylan Neill all recently ex Queens too.

  5. I had nothing against Gretna pre Mileson, indeed they were a very well run little club. I have nothing against Gretna 2008, indeed it was admirable how the fans rallied round to make sure there was football at Raydale at a hopefully sustainable level. The abomination in between however that's a very different story

  28. It's a tricky one with Stevie. On one hand he kept us up last season and we remain mindful that we are constant underdogs in this division. Also we've never been completely overpowered in the league matches I've seen so far this season and with a bit of good fortune we might have a few more points. On the other hand, the approach to away matches throughout his tenure has been dismal - St Mirren in February being notably bad. We've failed to beat any of the lower league teams that we've came up against this term. Seems like every time we've faced looming disaster over the last few years, an unexpected result has been plucked from nowhere to set things right. A solid draw this Saturday may be just the tonic to tee us up for Ayr,

  31. Not sure it's a great loss. That's not said from a position of any great authority, just a few things I've heard and then the obvious problems some players have had in recent times. The Millar thing should have been sorted out surely?

  32. Apart from Aarau I've managed Basel, Young Boys, Luzern, the Letzigrund(FCZ and Grasshoppers), St Gallen, Vaduz(Does Liechtenstein count?), Neuchatel, Wil, Winterthur and Schaffhausen. Not made it to any of the Italian area grounds yet, though Aarau are due to play Chiasso a few days after I get back from my holidays, so if any of the guys I usually go to the games with are heading down for that I will probably try to go as well.

  36. The first series was excellent as they thankfully got rid of the idiots quickly and left us with those who had a clue what they doing - and the hunters could just walk up and tap them on the back as that did happen to a couple of idiotic women who were out for a stroll around some town centre. Presume they couldn't go into the restaurant in case the two army morons legged it over tables. Why on earth you go to Blackpool and walk about with your partners is beyond me. First thing is get away from all CCTV hotspots.
