Chris_the_rover Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Fish got quite a bad injury before the turn of the year and struggled to get his fitness back. He came against QP and was whipped off at h/t as the game seemed to pass him by. As far as I know there was no fall out, more a natural parting of the ways. Great Rovers player scored the winner that clinched the 2015 championship.Didnt get on with the manager 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_the_rover Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Will never understand the QP set up. It’s 19th century stuff, except we’re in the 21st century. The Olympics used to be amateur aswell, but has long since evolved to keep up with the modern world. And don’t get me started on a part time amateur team cutting up the national stadium pitch every fortnight in front of a few hundred. Anyway, good luck for the season and hats off to all QP fans for residing in Glasgow and not supporting the bigot bros.Actually it was the national team cutting up a part time teams park every couple months 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave in and joined the professional league, we allowed ex professionals to play, we signed players on professional contracts (but never paid them), we play loan players who are paid but not by us. We evolve to survive. With the loss of playing at Hampden and clubs in the Lowland and Highland leagues throwing money at taking our place in senior football. We seriously need to consider evolving again if we wish to retain our place in senior football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a turning point for QP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need most of the proceeds to redevelop Lesser Hampden and the rest to help buffer the transition from the loss of income from the lease of Hampden to our new business model.

We have to redevelop Lesser Hampden with the proceeds of the sale. We just can't turn professional, buy loads of players and play on a public park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it's called the sale of Hampden, We wouldn't be moving there without these funds as Lesser isn't up to scratch for League 2 football and needs stands/terracing built and turnstiles installed, along with other things. Back on topic - pretty sure we've re-signed David Galt and Keiran Moore. Roberts mentioned it in a post match interview ages ago Edited May 22, 2019 by Mick1867 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierclyde Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Johnston was the standout Annan player for me this year- looks like a good signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looked dangerous and creative every time I've seen him play too. Also got experience further up the leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
