Any idea on who the trialists were 

I note there were 5 trialists so looks as if we still have capacity to add to our squad.

Serious question, folks. With you now turning semi-pro, coupled with Thistle's recent downturn in fortunes, is it conceivable that you might take their place as Glasgow's third club? You also have a more illustrious history, than they do.

"Semi-pro"? Our first team are full-time!

Surely, this is precisely the sort of problem you would want the boss to have?

Rangers aren't going to loan a player to a club if we can't guarantee him a game.

Trying to get Josh McPake on loan from Rangers, according to  everyone's favourite downmarket rag

So who do you drop to play him, Galt or MacLean?

Do you think there will be anymore permanent signings coming in or do you think the rest of the squad will be made of loans/youth ? Can’t imagine we’ll go in with a big squad anyway with a shorter season In place 

Can't see there being many loan signings. Clubs want their players to play if they go on loan. What youngster is going to dislodge the experienced players we have brought in. I would expect 3 or 4 more permanent signings and places for our recently signed professional youth players to supplement the first team squad.

In case anyone missed it, two ex-players were elected to the committee last week - Damiano Agostini and Keith McKenzie.

I can confirm neither of them are millionaires.

Alistair Marr was also elected, I have no information on his financial status!

You're probably right, but I've watched us being pretty pish for most of the past five decades plus and I'm looking forward to (hopefully) a full ten years of being half decent.

We're chasing our first trophy in 21 years. Being a Queen's fan certainly isn't glory hunting. We've all got scars to bear and deserve a ray of sunshine.

We've already had our unsustainable, sweetie merchant duffer of an owner and will most likely pay the price of that this season and for a few difficult years to come. At least we're now heading towards a community ownership model and I wouldn't trade that for Willie Haughey, the bus tycoons hanging around our club or any other single investor getting control of the reins again.

Sorry to upset you even more, we are the original Community owned Club. The Club is wholly owned by its members. Any money put into the Club by anyone gains no shares or ownership rights

I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about this current situation with Queens Park but are the supporters worried at all that this guy could get bored and bail on you? I see Murray signed a 3 year deal, do you have enough cash to keep this going if this guy does disappear off the scene? 

I know where he lives

I would expect that with the quality he has to choose from - he would not be playing just one attacking player in League 2.

Not only the quality he has but the quality still to be added. We can only have signed about 12 outfield players. Surely another 6 to 8 to be added.

Does Messi have to self isolate for 14 days or can he train with the lads on Thursday?

I see. Are you no longer developing Lesser? I'd you are, what's happening? Is it still the case that there will be no terracing?

Lesser won't be ready until season 21/22.

How's the development of Lesser progressing?

Our game will be at Hampden.

I read Stenny are streaming their home games for fans. I kinda expect QP to follow. Greedy me wants away games too but I’ll settle with home .  Anyone in the know able to comment? 

It’s nonsensical to stream games at Hampden when we could all social distance but the same uncertainty remains with toilets and the concourse etc etc. 

I quite like the idea of watching Queen’s on the couch, close to the fridge and biscuit tin. I’m sure that won’t last for long though. Hopefully back in the stands soon.  ️️

I expect to be at games especially as trial games in September with crowds are going ahead. We can easily get 1,000 socially distancing in Hampden

Interesting to see the club have allowed Barrs to design the away kit. I've long thought we should make more of our relationship with them. Absolutely first class when it comes to advertising and PR. Hopefully it's outlandish enough to get folk talking and gather a few extra quid from shirt collectors. 

Red Kola 3rd strip would be good too.

Think that has always been the case? Don’t think any teams were intending going back till early September. The testing requirements will not be as stringent in lower leagues than Premier. They are supposed to be in their own bubble hence they were given special government clearance to start early. The rest starting later was in the hope that the instances of Covid had eased. The part time players are mixing with different people through the week at work therefore they can’t be in a bubble so pointless having the same testing requirements.

Hearts were back and told to stop training immediately!

What about all the West of Scotland teams who are training on the fly. Will the SFA continue to ignore this???
