| 20th July, 2010 | Still on Holiday for Queen's 0-0 pre-season draw with Hamilton, but for the record, here's the report from The Official Site.
| All Hail The King of Queens | 18th July, 2010 | I was away om holiday today, so couldn't be there to pay tribute to a true Queens legend, Jim Thomson. Who will ever forget his equalising goal in the Scottish Cup Final, or his celebration of it! On the field, Queens lost narrowly, 1-0, to a near full strength Rangers, but lost goalkeeper Roddie McKenzie to leave us with a big goalkeeping headache. I've taken some of a long report from The Official Site for the record.
| Queens 0 Hibernian 4 | 13th July, 2010 | I know it was only a pre-season friendly, and the result wasn't all that important, but the defensive performance tonight was very worrying. As individuals Reid, McAusland and Harris aren't bad players, but they are never going to make a back 3! We urgently need to get some defenders fit before the season kicks off.
| Irish Eyes Were Smiling | 12th July, 2010 | Queens took their pre-season even further west than Stranraer (I thought that ws the end of the world?) as they travelled to Northern Ireland to take on Drunagannon Swifts, and returned with a 3-1 victory.
| Victory Over Near Neighbours | 8th July, 2010 | For some reason I had it in my head (and on my site!) that it was next Wednesday night that Queens were playing Annan, not that I'd have missed the World Cup Semi-Final to go to the game anyway! Queens won comfortably by 4-1 against their nearest Scottish League neighbours, 3rd Division Annan Athletic.
| Not a Good Start | 6th July, 2010 | Queens first pre-season game ended in a 3-2 defeat to Gretna 2008, but worse than that, saw us pick up quite a lot of injuries, including what could be serious ones to David Lilley and David Hutton. Read the Official Site's report by clicking the more... link.
| Next Season's Fixtures | 17th June, 2010 | The fixture list for next season was released today, and Queens reduced squad is off to visit old boss Gordon Chisholm at Dundee in our first match. I'm not allowed to publish the fixture list on this site, so you can nip over to This Link on The Official Site to see Queens fixtures, or This Link at The BBC For Full 1st Division Fixture list.
| Season Review - Round Up | 29th May, 2010 | For the 1st time in my memory, Queens had been in with a chance of promotion to the top division right up until the back end of the season. Yet, at the end of the day, I'd say the overall feeling about our 4th place finish was disappointment. Once again, the play offs were only of passing interest to Queens, we must be one of the few teams outside the SPL who have never been involved in them, and we are certainly the longest serving 1st Division side at the moment (as we were in the 2nd Division before that. So here's my round up of the ups and downs for the 1st Division, as well as the Player of the Season awards.
| Season Review - Part 6 | 26th May, 2010 | With less than 40 days of the season left, Queens still had 10 games left to play (and there were teams with more than that still remaining!). And, we managed to throw in another postponement along the way! Incredibly, despite Gordon Chisholm's legacy of losing his last 3 games before jumping ship for Dundee, there still came a point with less than a month of the season remaining were Queens would have won the league had they won all their remaining matches. In the end through, there were just too many games in too short a time, and we could only manage a slightly disappointing 4th.
| Season Review - Part 5 | 22nd May, 2010 | Queens finally started playing football again on a regular basis (and that meant twice a week) on 6th March 2010, with a 1-0 win over Partick Thistle at Palmerston. By this time, Queens had played 21 games, while opponents Thistle had played 25, and had been the least affected side in the division by the cold weather. Queens had dropped to 5th in the league, but only 2 points behind Thistle with those 4 games in hand, 2 points behind eventual winners Inverness, but with 2 games in hand, 3 behind Ross County with a game in hand, and what looked a massive 11 behind Dundee, until you realised that if we won our 3 games in hand on them, and beat Dundee in the remaining match between the 2 clubs, we'd go top of the league again.
