We Needed That | 6th February, 2010 | Having impressed me with how well they played against Dundee having hardly played for 2 months, the lack of matches was there for all too see this afternoon as Queens were over-whelmed by a young Celtic side at Palmerston. Just as well we got this one out of the system before the serious stuff, hopefully, resumes against boggy side Morton at Palmerston!
| Not Ideal Preparation | 16th January, 2010 | With yet another postponement today, Queens will go into their biggest game of the season next week having not played for 4 weeks. Sound familiar to anyone? Personally, I've been looking back at Queens fixture list, and I've only been to 1 game since the 1st of November, so by the time that Dundee game comes round, it will have been one game in nearly 3 months! Summer football anyone?
| Going Nowhere (For Now!) | 14th January, 2010 | That's another scare over then. Kilmarnock have appointed Jimmy Calderwood as manager, co-incidentally for a 6 month period, the length of time Gordon Chisholm has left on his contract! Hopefully by that time, Kilmarnock will be a first division side with no money, and won't seem such an attractive prospect.
| Chisholm Talking to Killie | 13th January, 2010 | It's been a while now since the story first broke, and of course it's been all over the MAD Board, but I just wanted to put something on about Gordon Chisholm going to talk to Kilmarnock today about becoming their new boss so that we'll remember the day when it comes up in 'On This Day' in future years. The noises coming from Palmerston make it sound to me like they expect Queens most successful ever manager to go. Personally, I hope he doesn't. I wouldn't expect him to stay just for sentimental reasons, but I do hope he'll come to the conclusion that Queens are a team on the up, and he's got a brighter future here.
| Time For a New Poll | 7th January, 2010 | The Poll asking who would win the First Division this season was only supposed to last for a month. Over 6 months later, it's time I changed the poll! Queens fans remain confident, with 61 of the 135 responders (45%) believing Queens will be top of the league next May. Unsurprisingly, the only team to come close to us is Dundee, 52 responders (39%) think it will be the big spending Taysiders who will triumph. Click more at the end of this intro to see the full results. The new poll is on the very topical subject of Summer Football. I struggled with the wording, but am basically asking if you'd like to see winter football, summer football or winter football with a break? Get voting!
| What's Football Again? | 2nd January, 2010 | I'm beginning to forget what Football is. Another blank weekend due to the weather, and with us out of the Cup, no game next weekend, then it's away to Ross County (I won't be going in case you were about to ask!) before we finally, weather permitting, get another game at Palmerston on 23rd January against Dundee, who could be out of sight by then!
| New Site Feature | 23rd December, 2009 | Since 2005, all the reports posted on this site have been stored in a Database. This makes it highly searchable, and I often find myself delving into the admin pages to find out, for example, when Queens last beat Dunfermline at Palmerston, or when Andrew Barrowman scored for Queens? I thought this might be something other people might like to be able to do, so I've put some of the more common searches below. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to be able to search for?
| Lazy Saturday Afternoons | 19th December, 2009 | I was actually quite glad the match was off this afternoon as I took a walk round to the shop at about 3:00, it was absolutely Baltic, and that was wrapped up in 10 layers of clothing and keeping on the move, imagine what it would have been like sitting in the Palmerston stands? Even if the game had started, I'm sure the snow shower which came at 4:00 would have seen it abandoned anyway!
| Match Off | 19th December, 2009 | This afternoons match against Raith Rovers has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.
| Big Time? - You Can Keep It! | 13th September, 2009 | I don't go shopping on a Saturday afternoon. Before I had kids, I never took my holidays during the school holidays. And I don't get on a bus to Glasgow every week to watch my football. In short, I like to try to avoid 'going with the crowd' and that's one of the reason's that I am proud that I support Queen of the South! Today, I had to stand in a queue for an hour and a half to get a ticket to see my favourite team. Would I like to do this every week? No thanks!
