Bought one and it's all printed (in dubious quality) on pretty cheap material and the black is pretty much a dark grey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our support is small enough, I would welcome any youngsters who want to make a noise and support the team. A drum is annoying when it’s banged for 90 minutes straight even when the singing is quiet imo. No reason why younger fans couldn’t have one and give it a good whack here and there when singing starts or after a goal for example. A bit of common sense and balance applied here and it could be a great introduction that doesn’t annoy people. The QP fan base are so pleasant compared to other clubs in my experience but there is a degree of snobbery for new ideas. Encouraging more young fans should be a key objective for the club. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barley get off their seats when we score never mind joining in with the singing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing snobbish about me, living in a cooncil flat in Rutherglen and my sister, whom I visit twice a week, lives in one in Somerville Drive. Drums are for bands etc , not football matches. Why does one have to get off ones seat when we score a goal Gall? I can cheer and and clap sitting down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone's objecting to your sister staying in a council flat or you sitting down at the game, just seems a bit mad to try and inhibit folk making noise to get behind their team 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reference to snobbery was more aimed at a notion (right or wrong) that your stereotypical (circa 1896) QP fan was above making significant noise beyond that which would be appropriate at, for example, the West of Scotland Cricket Ground, e.g. muted applause. No great opine either way, but I am forever banging on about striking a balance between honouring the finest traditions of the club whilst also ensuring the clubs relevance going forward. Don't want to get all romantic here but beyond a love of the game/club, I'm sure most of us got hooked on football as a live spectator sport due to the whole theatre of the day; the journey to the stadium, the anticipation of walking up the steps and seeing the pitch etc for the first time, the smell of bovril, the chat and most importantly the atmosphere provided by the fans. If a drum or two assists that, or provides that aura for a new legion of supporters, I'm all for it. Though, I'm sure in the finest traditions of the club, the committee, or as a final hurdle, G4S, will ensure some sort of skinned-instrument ban. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've already been told the drum won't be allowed at Hampden; away fans have also tried to get one in before and were knocked back. Believe their intention is more to bring it to away games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of a short term option, he’ll be fine for you guys Could tell his legs were going though as he is criminally slow nowadays which he get exposed to a few times. And I don’t think his injury record was particularly great towards the very end of the season. I wouldn’t say i was extremely gutted when he left a couple months back Wish him well, he seemed a really good guy to have around the club Edited Tuesday at 11:43 by qpfc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see him displacing Nottingham or McGowan with how solid they've been so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That theory obviously doesn't hold water. Wonder if he got a roasting after the Hibs debacle and had enough? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only been given a contract until January with Livingston and the article mentions that he's still looking to move back to America, so presumably he just wasn't able to get the move he wanted. Did a job for us last season when we needed experience at the back and seems like a really good guy, so I wish him all the best, but he was very poor vs Hibs (which I put down to him knowing he was away) and we've definitely got better options now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
