I've followed Queens for a number of years now and throughout that time I've seen players arrive who were thought to be brilliant signings only to flop miserably and others that sounded poor signings become well liked so I for one am not going to judge any player util I've seen them play a few games for us. I don't know what some here expect, we are team who for the past few seasons have been going nowhere and geographically not best situated to induce signings. Perhaps MB has tried for better players but been priced out of the market. As always looking forward to the start of the new season and hoping the manager has found some gems that gel together as a team. If after few games and results are poor I will happily join the half glass empty brigade. -

Always like to try and stay optimistic when it comes to Queens So here goes Saturday 15th We somehow beat Dunfermline and Falkirk beat Airdrie and Kelty beat or draw Alloa Midweek Falkirk beat Edinburgh Saturday 22nd The above results would mean both Falkirk and Dunfermline still have something to play for and they play Alloa and Airdrie respectively. So if both Falkirk and Dunfermline win and we beat Montrose, then suddenly we are 3 (or 2) points clear off Alloa and only 1 point behind Airdrie who we play on the 29th.. I know it doesn't take account of Edinburgh. Simple really, now back to the asylum before they notice I'm missing. -

Good to see Stuart Morrison getting a start for the reserves after his injury problems this season. -

I vaguely remember a number of years ago a new manager taking over at a club who were by their standards going through a really poor period. In his first few games he made little difference and a number of disgruntled fans were wanting rid of him very early on, but the cub stood by him. That manager was Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. Before anyone says anything I'm not suggesting Marvin Bartley is the same standard of manager, simply that it is to early to judge properly. -

Watching Queens v Mid Annandale. 7 0 to Queens at half time. Apologies not sure on any of the players but I think McMahon has 2 goals. Others came from No15 with 2 and No11 with a hat trick. Finished 12 1 McMahon? 2, no 11 got 5, no 15 3, and no 14 2 -
2 absolutely rank rotten teams

I reckon with one game tomorrow we are 3rd best runner up. So as long as Aberdeen best Raith either outright or on pens. Thanks to Dunfermline and Queens Park losing on pens. Hope I’ve not miscalculated -

I see Elgin fielded a player as a sub against Ayr who was ineligible due to an outstanding one match ban. Disciplinary hearing is Thursday. Rules of the competition would mean Ayr being awarded 3 0 win. Would have suited us better the other way round but it is what it is. -

Thought Quitongo had a good game despite negative thoughts on here. We were pretty solid just lacked finishing touch, good performance with no East Ruth Reilly or Wilson. -

SD I accept your assessment that the club has plenty of funds at the moment as the balance sheet shows this. However if that is the case and money is available and yet we are bottom Of the league does that not then suggest the problem is with the manager and his choice of player? -

Followed Queens for over 40 years now and never seen such rubbish (and that includes the Harkness era). For such an important game Queens were awful. It must be obvious to everyone but the board that they are no longer playing for AJ.
