The Queen of the South thread

Absolutely amazing on the 3rd kit, the video release and what it all stands for. This deserve so much more attention and praise. 

Something I’ve always felt is football is an escape from life for a lot of people and this is truly fantastic to see. 

I hope this is a roaring success

But the message it carries is more important. 

Do you know if there’s a decent amount of stock available?

Plenty stock. We ordered more of them than we did of the White Ribbon pink one.

Fantastic idea for the third kit. £5 from every sale going to mental health projects in the community. Well done all involved.
 

Cracking looking kit from the video too.

Take a bow, Queens.

Brilliant stuff from the club. A lot of good going on off the park at Queens just now. Well done to everyone involved.

The video was really well done and quite touching as well. Hopefully we shift a good few of the tops.

Fabulous kit/video and for such an important cause too - great stuff Queens.

Brought back such sad painful memories of poor young Chris Mitchell (RIP), such a talented player.

There’s a lot not to be happy about at the club on the pitch at the moment but that is a cracking kit looks wise and more importantly for what it represents.

No interviews after Airdrie and Kelty as Sandra is on holiday.

Remember everyone behind the scenes is a volunteer!!!!

It often feels that it isn't just those behind that is a volunteer

I think the likelihood is that Gibson will remain in place unless/until we're in real and present danger of a further relegation.

Surely taking fewer than 4 points from your next 2 games would confirm that real danger and therefore Gibson's position could be untenable extremely soon?

I don't think the danger can be regarded as "present" in October though.

A similar situation in March would qualify.

We stuck with Johnston longer than we should have, if things don't improve before the midway stage I hope we don't make the same mistake with Wullie. Being a local lad, and a vital player, probably gives him a bit of extra lee-way, though it shouldn't really. I agree though that this is still a bit early to be talking about a replacement. I reserve the right to change my mind if we don't get full points from the next two games mind.

To be honest, I wasn't particularly stating a stance of my own on the matter.

I was just saying that I can't see his job being especially vulnerable, unless it really looks like we might well get relegated to the bottom tier.

A vital player who doesn’t even make the bench most weeks…………….crazy.

The black top is now available to order online

https://t.co/CC6kp1LcMS

Sold well in the shop today and quite a few online orders already 

[QosLoyal]

Great kit today. Well done to everyone involved. Definitely a purchase.

[Greenacres]

Brilliant video and tops just as good .

I don't really buy tops anymore but will be getting this.

On to the football good win today but  we are still a work in progress have good spells in games at times we look good when we pass the ball quickly but then we over pass it far to slow and end up losing the ball .

We seem to lack confidence especially in front of goal but hopefully that will come with a few wins. 

Hopefully through time Wullie will realise he has to play we are a far better team with him in it .

Todd looks like a bad injury he will be a big miss.

Wullie won't be playing any time soon. He's been told by the chairman that he's not to play and concentrate on managing even though it weakens the team. I think I'd be inclined to say, I'm playing and if you sack me at least I'm sacked doing it my way.

If that's the case, and I'm not saying I believe it, any Manager with a bit of self respect would tell the Chairman to stop interfering or to stick his  job. Does the Chairman scrutinise the team lines before they're handed in?

Nonsensical if true - it is pretty clear from results and indeed performances that having Messrs Gibson and Murray standing next to each other on the touchline (duplicating their commands) is having little or no impact on the eventual outcome of games. Gibson’s presence on the pitch is huge - we look a totally different team.

 

I also think too many players are getting an inordinate amount of game time while producing very little - McKenna, Cochrane, Murray and Reilly fall into that category for me. Huge question marks on their repeated inclusion.
 

While beating the Gibson drum young Lewis has to be used a lot more regularly - it is obvious that he is a huge talent and is a much better option than most of his “forward” colleagues who toiled and laboured yesterday while producing next to nothing. It is not too late to save our season but a major re-focus is required.

How do you 'know' this?
