Steeplechat Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I’d imagine it was for a number of reason. She’s friends with the chairman. It’s good eye candy in the boardroom. And also for her own safety, as I’d imagine she would get dogs abuse in amongst Joe public. She also dragged the good name of Queen of the South F.C. through the gutter with her embarrassing social media rants among several other things 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When backed into a corner, I’d come out fighting too. I’m sure everyone has skeletons in their closet. It’s just you never hear them because we don’t work for a football club and nobody would be interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleinfaethetoon Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 My first games were all cup ties - a sunday match against East Fife which we won 1nil with a pen; against Hearts in another cup tie think we lost 2nil and the one that got me started for real on my own was against Motherwell 1980? which we won 2-0Jeez I mind the Motherwell cup tie I was 10 lol Ian Mitchell lobbed their goalie at the Terregles Street End 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegedly !! It's all heresay - and probably no-one will ever divulge the absolute truth - but I believe the total amount of compo handed out in relation to this sorry affair equates to a seasons' wages for around 2/4 first-team players at this level. That might partially explain why the squad is thinner than a thin thing at the mo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then it might be a 12-month thing. But that's pure speculation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's pure speculation.Its a probably just a big shit mix of things. Harkins and Todd probably arent cheap. Compo. Lower attendances. Cup and league finishes last season. Traveling to the highlands 4 times this season. All of that combined explains our struggling situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 8 hours ago, Fae_the_'briggs said: I think that East Fife match was the first Sunday match I went to at Palmerston, maybe the 1st one ever to be played there on a Sunday. If it's the same one I'm thinking about, I recall there was a bit of hassle between the Fife fans and Queens fans. There was no segregation as such in the covered terracing and stones were being thrown from one end to the other. Before my time, but I think there's a cracking photo somewhere of large crowds milling around outside the ground in Terregles Street, ahead of that game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessieField Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Now that Lafferty has gone from Hearts to Rangers, will Hearts renew their interest in Dykes before the transfer window closes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doonhamer doon south Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 we can only hope and pray they doReally. I would say losing dykes would weaken us quite a bit. The guy has pace, decent first touch, gets round the pitch chasing shadows and has now finally started to add goals to his game. Whatever his off field antics are, his on field attitude i cant really fault. Hope stays a while longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first game was a freebie handed out by Troqueer Primary for a preseason friendly against Carlisle which we won 3-2 I think possibly in around 77/78? My Dads first and last Queens game and one of the few times I’ve sat in the stand! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no expert but I have seen enough from attendance and highlights to see that he has improved from last season and is an asset to the team. He does need to improve his conversion rate. Playing in his right position will help with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did you’d realise that dykes is one of the most improved players in that team. If we were to loose him it would severely weaken the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeJay Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Agreed he has improved a lot. His goal on Saturday is testament to this. Okay he's still got a lot more to offer and we would miss him. However there's no way he'd be a replacement at Hearts for Lafferty. The Premiership, certainly at present, is one step too far for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
