  1. Shocker of a game but almost won it with a free kick at end. Stone made a couple of great saves in the second half. We huffed and puffed but didn't really do anything. Midfield was non existent. Weather probably played a big part but that was two teams devoid of any creativity.
  2. The thing that annoys me about Queens these days is the inability to keep up with the times. Lack of previews on the website, dead silence regarding injuries and non existent highlights. I don't get how teams like Linlithgow Rose and Irvine Victoria can upload games each week and we can't. Just give us something. Short clips of goals is fine. We don't need multiple camera angles and replays. You're alienating a younger audience by not doing this. I know you get this via the SPFL YouTube channel on a Wednesday but come on. It's really, really hard to keep involved with the club if you live outside Dumfries. The most information you get is from Skyline Drifter on here. That's not right. I know volunteers play a big role in doing the social media stuff, but it's 2023 not 1993. The club needs to evolve and needs a bit of love. Just like the Main Stand.
  3. If anyone still has a spare ticket for this give me a message.
  4. Roller coaster match. Enjoyed it. Felt like he was hitting the ball more confidently. I don't care if he doesn't get far in this comeback. I'm just happy he's back playing and I'm sure he is just happy to be playing as well. Up to 64th in the singles race. If he can get into the top 50 by the end of the year that's a great success in my book.
  5. Absolute mare by the Dundee United guy on tonight. Felt bad for him
  6. Lyle scored an absolute scorcher against Ross County years ago. If it's the same one, it was a volley but he was more half way between the 18 yard box and the half way line. We went on to lose 3-2 after Colin Scott made an arse of it right at the death. I want to say John Rankin got the winner. Yeah that's one. My other favourite was Sandy Hodge skinning the entire Clyde team and putting one in the bottom corner.
  7. They are talking about the best ever goal on Scottish soil on Off The Ball today. I was trying to think of the best ever goal at Palmerston and the obvious one is Ryan McCann's 84 yarder. Does anyone remember Derek Lyle's volley from the half way line? Can't remember who it was against and I might have exaggerated the goal in my head!
  8. To be fair, I agree with him on some points. Especially with regards to clubs paying a fee for players during a pandemic. You've no right to ask for government support in the future if you're spending beyond your means by splurging 250k on a player. Smack in the face to non playing staff who have been let go.
  9. Ah yes. The ' he just should retire' chat when he loses. People were saying that when started playing challengers after his hip operation and lost to players raked in the top 200. He then went on to win Antwerp, beating Wawrinka in the final. He obviously just wants to play because he loves the sport. Nothing wrong that. I don't expect him to win a Grand Slam or even get that deep in one. Just appreciate the fact he is back and competing again. You get moments like that match against Nishioka.
  10. Not expecting much from Murray tonight to be honest and that's fine. I'm just glad he through a long 5 setter and the hip is ok. He's only played about 35 matches since 2017 so he just needs time on court. To be honest, I think that's all he wanting at this slam. See how he copes in a best of 5 and is able to compete. Anything else is a bonus. Good win for Norrie last night. His side of the draw has really opened up. He has the most unusual backhand. Gives hope to all us amateurs whose backhand is shite.
  11. Not been on Pie and Bovril for fecking ages, so apologies if I'm spouting the same shite that's been around, but how would a reconstructed league of 14-10-10-10 have any losers? Everyone gets promoted, no-one relegated and you still get 4 Old firm games coveted by Sky. On a different note, sportsound is good when it actually removes itself from the Old Firm. The Tommy Wright episode was great, the one on Monday with John Hartson was just awful
  12. The overreacting to Tom English on Sportsound is something else. He spoke fine today and whilst Donald Findlay had a dig, I thought both Findlay and Cameron shot themselves in the foot when English brought up reconstruction. The point about bringing in one person to run the leagues was interesting idea, therefore making the current voting structure defunct. Would solve a lot of issues but undoubtedly create a whole host of others.
  13. Great the day. The only downer was that awful oversized new shirt we wore.
  14. Thought Jason Leitch spoke very well there tbh. I like people that just answer questions very straight.
  15. The full game for Scottish Cup final against Rangers is also up via the Scottish Cup YouTube page.
