He was terrible the first few games but he’d arrived at us after just recovering from an injury which kept him out a few months. After the first few games he was brilliant for us, no disrespect intended but thought he would have got a better deal than Morton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that he's been telt by the club to stop providing his club insights (hope there's nothing wrong with the guy healthwise) on social media. Shame, as his insights (not just re QOS but also in terms of the administration of the game) were helpful (and probably helpful to fans of other clubs as well). 52 minutes ago, 19QOS19 said: Yeah hopefully nothing to do with his health of course but he hasn't been seen since he told us how much money the club had in the bank. Soon after that AJ was sacked. Could of course be pure coincidence but if they are in any way linked he should make a reappearance so we can thank him 45 minutes ago, Otis Blue said: If that info came from SD, that probably does explain his recent absence - although I'm sure he'd probably have argued that it was presumably in the public domain anyway ... annual accounts etc. I've not been told anything. I chose to stop posting in February. It will be staying that way (for now anyway), though I may get around to updating the Managers thread on Infowire at some point. And it shouldn't need saying but I certainly did not, and would not, quote any numbers which were not in the public domain. The club's bank balance had been published by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 That puts an end to that possibility. Doubt I'll ever see a player as good in a QoS jersey in my life. A truly outstanding talent and it meant that bit more that he clearly loves the club as well. Hopefully we get him back at some point for a proper send off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never played for my team (Partick Thistle) but after watching him score 5 against us in reserve match for Rangers many years ago I have followed his career throughout. Such a fantastic player and brilliant striker. The Queens fans are so lucky to watch him play so often. He loves your club and quite rightly you love him. A superb talent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a ridiculously talented player and a nice guy into the bargain. To have seen him play for Queens in two spells has been a fabulous experience. So many memories ... that touch and finish for the first goal against Dundee in the quarter final, scoring four against Clyde and being taken off after an hour when he was just unplayable and double figures were on the cards, spinning Kevin Rutkiewicz like a top at McDermid Park and then going straight back and spinning him again just because he could ... the list is endless. The word legend is simply insufficient! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that SD wasn't flavour of the month with everyone on here, but I felt he gave us occasional unique insights into the operation of the club (and the Scottish game) and would steer our views back onto the right track when we were heading down the wrong path through lack of information or specific knowledge. I also think his posts gave an extra dimension to the club over and above what could reasonably be put out on the club's OS, and that source of extra information will be missed. I've no doubt that it has been a difficult line to tread and probably wasn't always with the blessing of the BOD. Hope he returns to the forum at some point. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Don’t think it’ll come down to league, it’ll come down to the cash on offer Indeed. I doubt the players at Cove/Kelty/Queens Park have been there because they had a hankering to play in L1/L2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an excellent poster on here, and not just because he could bring a bit of an insider's perspective. He wrote well and was knowledgeable generally. In the earlier days of the forum, he used to always feature highly in polls for the best poster. It's a sign of this place's descent that he's no longer as highly regarded. I used to argue with him lots, but I always found it interesting. I hope he does start posting more regularly again at some point. The Queens thread would certainly benefit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel lucky that I got to see him for a few years I will never see a player as good again play for Queens. A true Legend hopefully we can get him back as a coach if not the club has to organise a proper send off for him he deserves that . Great man as well you would not meet someone more friendly and helpful 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
