Alf Stamp Army Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I really liked Burns, he was a stalwart in the side in the first few seasons I was coming regularly, and it was great that a local guy was playing reagularly. Thought he was an excellent choice for captain when McGeiver left .Disagree - never led by example like big McGeever, head went down when he was having a poor game himself and liked a moan at his own team mates.Apart from that he was inspirational! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that he was inspirational! Who stepped forward to take responsibility in the playoff final at Broadwood when we won the penalty? That would have been our promotion winning captain and Player of the Year for that season. I'm not actually arsed about folk not rating Burns as a player. That's fair enough. It's the needless wee digs people have about a player who made a significant contribution to the football club. He had several opportunities to move on and pick up a wage, but he gave us eight years of his career. You won't get too many folk hanging about for that long in this era. Quinno got the same treatment. Battling back from two leg breaks and involvement in two promotion winning sides, putting a shift in every time he pulled on the jersey, and he was on the receiving end of similar snide nonsense. I simply don't get it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidersmad Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Sean Burns certainly gave his all for Queen's. I've seen him playing as a midfielder, as a winger, as a centre forward, as a wing back, as a full back and even as a central defender for us. He scored the winning goal in the League Cup tie v Dundee so that makes him a top man for me! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that Sean Burns wouldn't fit our recent signing policy. Why would he not fit it, if Trouten and Miller would? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wee word about our club would have been welcome. That's harsh. He was asked to talk about himself.

You been reading the Falkirk thread? We're going full time, we have £5 million to buy players ( that'll be the SFA money for Hampden that we're getting in installlments and need to build a new ground with) and Willie Haughey owns the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply don't get it. Who was the poster - don't think he posts on here anymore - that slaughtered Quinno for taking a penalty against Shire at Ochilview? (even though he was our regular penalty taker) Apparently he deliberately denied Brophy a hat trick to make it "all about him". This is Quinno he was talking about, one of the most selfless players in our history . Think he also had a pop at his appearance record over 10 years (conveniently ignoring his two leg breaks and subsequent hip injury) because some dared to call him a club legend around the time of his testimonial dinner. The big man donated all the money raised at that dinner to Marie Curie as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate what he did for the club as a player just saying judging his body language on the park I didn’t think he was a great captain Not a dig just a difference of opinion [emoji848] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Rico Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Presume it will be towards the end of the week before any more new signings are announced Not heard anything concrete, basically just a list of everyone Ray McKinnon signed for Morton and/or Falkirk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 All this love-in for Wullie on the match thread and yet amazingly there's still two of his three sponsorship place available. £40 for his away top, sports fans. Wullie needs it more than a publican or bookie. Others still available too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Some rumblings about last season's Player of the Year being left out at Airdrie. Fans seem pissed off about it. Possibly 2+2=5 stuff, but maybe worth watching how that unfolds. 2+2=5 is fine by me.I'll be devasted if it's a loan for Roberts for the rest of the season.There were a few clambering for him to be playing from the start of the season (me included) and since his run in the team, it "just so happened" to coincide with our best run of the season.Since he's dropped back out we've been absolute dug meat with no-one else able to provide his energy, dig and link up with the attack. Beside Kieran Millar he's shone, miller doing the dirty work and Roberts bursting forward (see his first goal in the cup game vs. Albion Rovers, wins the ball on his 18 yard line, passes and sprints forward to finish a great counter move).Stuart Millar commented on his fitness (or lack of) a few weeks ago and since then Murray's been loathed to start him.If he does go out on loan, I reckon that's the end of his Airdrie career, and our loss will be someone else's gain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bully_wee Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 If you lot don't get promoted this season given the money that's clearly being spent to bring these guys in, serious questions need asked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
