Homer Thompson Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Confirmation that Brownlie will be out until at least Christmas. Not exactly sounding too promising on the signing front either. Still bad news is better than no news.https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/hard-work-starts-here-queens-12767840 Shame we had to read it in the Daily Record though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleinfaethetoon Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Shame we had to read it in the Daily Record though. No doubt the club will release a statement saying ‘don’t believe paper talk, he is in fact out to the new year’ [emoji23][emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was a pop at me then my response is that I wouldn't normally encourage people to read anything to do with that rag but I think they are affiliated with The Standard in some way. If it was a pop at the club for not updating the OS and forcing us into reading rags like the Record, then I concur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he missed the Brechin game, presumably he was injured before that? Why the delay? Has it taken 2 months to figure out that he needs an op? That 2 months could be 9 games, or a quarter, during the season. Or was he only injured recently? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it can be a recent injury as there have been rumours for a while that he was injured and as you say he missed the Brechin game. I don't know if players at our level go private for their operations or if they are just done on the NHS. If it is the latter then he will have had to join the queue like the rest of us. Some would say his injury is a blessing in disguise, but until reinforcements are found it is an injury to a position we can ill afford to be missing players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 He was injured the day before the Brechin game but had to wait a few weeks for the swelling to go down so the injury could be properly assessed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have to wait for his op on the NHS.? Always thought Queens paid for private treatment for players but I suppose it will all be down to cost again . Alan Martin had to wait for a op in the NHS last season so Brownlie will be the same .. Wonder if other teams in the Championship have private healthcare ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitbafollower Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I thought at Championship you had to pay insurance to cover players for injury why are QoS not covering their players and relying on NHS ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Onion Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I thought I heard Danny Carmichael had to pay for his own operation as the club would not pay and he would have had to wait like us all on an NHS waiting list. No special queue for football players on the NHS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 disappointing news. I wish the manager luck in chasing his targets, cant be easy. Hoping for a signing soon though. The preseason games we already look thin on the ground. I am looking forward to how Harkins links up with Dobbie and Dykes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitbafollower Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I suppose not covering players injuries and if operations are required does not help Naismith sign players if true regards Carmichael then that is sad as he was a decent player 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks ? PROPERLY assessed ? . For the swelling to go down ? .If basic physio is applied ie I.E.A. the swelling is down in 48 hours absolute maximum . Are things that bad ? …………………………………...

The D&G Standard and the Daily Record are both owned by 'Reach' formerly Trinity Mirror - hence the local stuff goes on the Daily Record 'Dumfries and Galloway' section. It's one of my absolute pet hates. How hard would it be to let each individual paper have a more personalised section on the website...or even their own website? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 If we had good depth to the squad I'd be very happy Brownlie wasn't going to feature for a while but as was said earlier, we really don't have that luxury. I expect a loan signing will fill the gap until January. It would appear we did in fact offer Holt a deal then. He couldn't really turn down that opportunity for Cyprus though. Not long until the season starts so hopefully GN gets some positive news next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 No brainer for Holt, but nice to know we at least asked the question.If I was a Dundee player I’d be trying my hardest to have a bust up with Neil McCann. You’ll either get a move to Celtic or a move to Cyprus! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northfield 53 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) John Robertson the Inverness manager thinks other clubs are trying to but success . Ross County and Dundee United paying huge money for players Falkirk binned their youth academy so they will put all funds in to the first team so they will spend big . Partick and Dunfermline are paying players over £1000 a week . Robertson saying Queens Morton Ayr and Inverness all pay similar money . He is using Livi as a example of what can be done with a club with a small budget No wonder Joe Thomson and Mark Durnan signed for Dunfermline we could not get anywhere near £1000 a week . It is not just Naysmith who is finding it hard to sign players can make more than double what Queens or even Inverness can offer them Edited June 23, 2018 by Northfield 53 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it in Friday's Standard so it was covered "locally". I'm sure there was a similar discussion about who pays for players' treatment at the time Alan Martin was needing an op. The same criteria surely applies in Brownlie's case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
