If you really are his friend as you claim then maybe you shouldn't be too judgementle on how he makes his tea. Have you considered reporting his parents to the authorities? It's what a true friend would do.

As I said, snobby b-stards. When having tea made by someone else and they put the milk in last I don't find any difference to the way it tastes so I will continue with my preference of milk in first when I make my own tea and to hell with what others think is right. Can anyone actually tell me why etiquette dictates that it should be tea before milk, or is it just another instance of the "upper class" trying to dictate how the commoners should behave? Milk first then tea could be my way of sticking two fingers up at the chinless wonders. Anyone who visits me for afternoon tea is free to make their own choice because the teapot and milk carton ( I could have said milk jug but lets be honest) are sitting on the table for them to pour as they prefer.

Snobby b-stards and "Etiquette Tutors" who sneer at putting the milk in the cup before pouring the tea. That's how I do it, that's how I like it, get over it, it's only a f-ing cup of tea.

Yeh. Let herself go a bit since she got married. Still! wouldn't see her stuck if she asked nicely.

Jeremy Vine on the quiz show Eggheads if the contest goes to "sudden death" and he says "the questions aren't multiple choice in this round". Surely its the answers that aren't multiple choice.

People who park tight to your car in the next bay at supermarket car parks, or any big car park, when there are lines of other empty bays they could have parked in. Even worse when they get out and bang their door against your car.

I'll tell you what gets on my wick, when people are speaking and put an 'r' in the middle or end of words when it shouldn't be there. People have started to talk about "drawrings" (drawings), or they "sawr" (saw) something, or the old favourite "lawrandorder" (law and order). Just a few examples of this rapidly increasing habit. I sometimes think friends and colleagues do it deliberately to wind me up, (which it obviously does), because the same people were not talking like this a year or so ago. Newsreaders, TV and radio presenters are the same. Go back a year or two and they are talking properly, now they are all adding the extra "r" into words and the public follow like sheep. PLEASE STOP IT NOW!

Agree with this to a certain extent, From what I saw of Livingston yesterday I think we could bring in a couple of "fringe" players from the start and still progress and maybe give another couple a decent run-out from the bench. I wouldn't want to see wholesale changes to yesterday's starting 11 as the new recruits are still very much trying to form a team understanding. I suppose it very much depends on how the management team view this game. Do they see it as an opportunity to try different things or go with what they think's best to give them a chance to progress.

We should maybe keep a small place in our hearts for him, after all if he hadn't come upfield for Dundee in the Cup quarters in '08 then Ryan McCann probably wouldn't have scored his 84 yarder. If memory serves me well I think the ball came off him to set Ryan up. Wouldn't say he was a terrible keeper but has certainly played at a higher level than his ability would suggest.

Not doubting that he was here before Gus, if memory serves me right he was out of contract when McPherson came in and was rumoured to be going to Morton but McPherson offered him a contract which is why I said he was re-signed by McPherson. I think he was Gus's first signing.

Not really featured as much as expected or hoped for during the season, plagued by injury for a good part of it. Came more into things in the last third of the season but with McShane and Millar at the time more or less tying up the centre midfield positions McKenna was often used as a sub. A few sporadic starting appearances but on the whole a bit of a disjointed season for him. No problem with the commitment he showed when he did feature. Not sure of his future intentions but rumoured to be moving away, maybe abroad, because of personal commitments. I think it was Gus McPherson who re-signed him for Queens when he was on the brink of signing for Morton.

Would Paul Burns not feature in your plans in one of the midfield positions? Has Paton's future been decided? Why not Hooper at right back and move Kidd forward? Yes we have a few positions to fill but some of the players needed to do that may be here already.

There's a difference between being scared to go and choosing not to put yourself in what can be a very intimidating and hostile atmosphere. I have been to Queens' games at Ibrox this season without much problem personally but have seen and heard others experience of what the home fans can do. I will be there on Sunday but can understand why others have decided not to go. Not sure if you are being entirely serious with your thinking that the Police and especially the stewards will keep you safe. Try telling that to Queen's fans and fans of other visiting Clubs who have had food and drink thrown over them. The police probably won't intervene in any problem inside the ground unless requested by the stewards, and the stewards tend to do a Lord Nelson and turn a blind eye to the home fans' behaviour. Even if admission was free I'm sure a lot of people would still opt to spend their Sunday in more peaceful surroundings.

People are allowed to have their own opinions aren't they, just like you. Can McShane still be classed as a youngster making his way in the game, he's into his twenties and does not appear to be improving. I think we have potentially better players than McShane out on loan and if Millar was fitter McShane would struggle to get in the side. A good squad player at best. It would be interesting to see the percentages of how many of his set play deliveries actually resulted in goals. His asset is his fitness and workrate which he needs to compensate for the shortage of ability. Yes he has a modicum of ability but is no way indispensable. Carmichael has performed well for most of the season, not just lately. How many MOM awards has McShane won compared to Carmichael this season. Certainly at away games I can't recall McShane getting one award on the travel buses whilst Carmichael has won several.

I'm sure the rangers manager has watched plenty of the top clubs in the World defending corners, holding, blocking runs, arms all over the place to stop the opposition and he would probably praise their tenacity, but when Queens dare to do it to his side the toys get chucked oot the pram. As others have said, his side are hardly angels when defending corners.

Probably as recently as John Baird going to Falkirk, who, I'm pretty sure, are paying him more than Queens.

Must admit I have very limited dealings with the Commercial Dep't, certainly a lot less than many supporters, but from the outside the Commercial operations seem to be run more professionally than before. Obviously the BOD agreed salaries and commissions and are happy with that set-up. As long as the Club is making money from Commercial ventures I don't see why some fans should have a problem with it, unless of course you are implying that something underhand may be going on. Payment by commission is a standard practice in many sales jobs.

Name names rather than having sly digs at those not in a position to respond.

Agreed, I think he has great ability but it's obvious he needs to get match fit which he may do with a full pre-season. Worth another deal I would say.

Hopefully ready to claim the goalies spot as first choice. No problem with that, he's been patient and hasn't let us down when asked to step in. Also excellent news about Dowie, a stand-out this season. With quite a few of the experienced outfield players signed up for next season hopefully the Manager can persuade some of the established younger players to stay on.

Congratulations and well done to the team, backroom staff and Manager, a great achievement to finish fourth in this very hard division, and all done without a recognised assistant Manager. Who'd have thunk it eh? Maybe not as crucial a position as some would have us believe. Hopefully we can carry our recent good form into the play-offs but even if we fall at the first hurdle it has still been a successful season. It's a pity that a lot of supporters left before the "lap of honour" yesterday but I suppose with the play-offs still to come it didn't actually feel like the last end of season game. One (very) small complaint was the attitude of Chris Mitchell during this, he walked round the pitch with his hands stuck in his pockets, never once did I see him wave or acknowledge the supporters. Was he frustrated at an injury plagued season or just acting like a twat. If he didn't want to be there he should have stayed in the dressing room. Understandable if we rest some players for the trip to Livingston but it would be nice to record a decent result against them on their own patch at least once this season. Bring on the Play-offs. Hibs or rangers I don't care the important thing is we are there.

Players returning from injury, or still carrying a slight injury often do running/training exercises prior to games if they are not involved in the team warm-ups, indeed I noticed one Alloa player being put through a gut-wrenching stint with Paddy Connelly before yesterday's game. That does not answer the queries as to Mitchell's match fitness or future at the Club. Mitchell actually looked to be walking with a slight limp when he went to speak to some fans behind the goals. Maybe they asked him about his situation and they can shed some light on whats happening.

Does being at the game yesterday have any relevance to Northfield's queries. I was wondering myself what the position is regarding Mitchell's injury situation and future with the Club. I was at the game yesterday but funnily enough that does not seem to have shed any light on the situation.

It's not so long ago that this group were claiming of being unfairly harassed because they were being searched on the way in and police and stewards were standing near them victimising them during games like big bullies. I had little sympathy for them then and after Thursday's and today's game I have even less. Like others I appreciate the atmosphere that they bring to games when channeled in the right way but that does not give them the right to spoil other people's enjoyment with such stupid pranks. In case anyone missed this news item, the rangers supporter who let off the smokebomb at Thursday night's game was banned for a year from attending matches and fined 350 pounds by the Courts. You decide if it's a smart thing to do and also consider if it's worth the possibility of the club being censured by the Football Authorities.

You're right it will be, or should be, a highly charged match considering what's at stake but I certainly don't want Queens players to stand back admiring Falkirk's play for fear of giving away fouls and potentially being booked or worse. We need to be right in about them, putting in tackles and defending as far up the park as possible. We have enough skillful players to win this match, my concern is do we have enough players with the appetite to get stuck in.
