2007/2008 - More of the Same
Even if Queens hadn't stunned the football world by reaching their first
ever Scottish Cup Final, this would have been a pretty special year. In
a normal year, a run of 7 straight wins, leading to 4th place finish in
Division 1, our equal highest finish in recent years, and no relegation
worries from about February, would have been more than enough to keep
everyone happy. But this was to be more than just a special year. This
was to be the best year ever. Until this year, I'd rate my best ever day
following Queens as 20th April, 2002, the day Queens won the league at
Forfar. However, on 8th March, 2008, even that day was surpassed as I
witnessed something I never thought I would see, Queens making it through
to a Scottish Cup Semi-final, and what a way to do it! Then came 12th
April, 2008, and things, as if it was possible, got even better! 24th
May, 2008 was a great day out, a great day to be a Queens fan, and so
nearly eclipsed the previous 2 highs, even although Queens couldn't quite
pull of a 3rd miracle of the season, the defeat to Rangers in the Scottish
Cup Final did little to dampen a great day.
Site wise, there was little change from the previous season, perhaps the biggest update was the inclusion of most of my previous archive material into a database, to make it even easier to relive seasons like this one in the years to come.
