Hawk Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) It was hot, I hate heat. Annan were pish, Queens were better. The End As for the first bit, get used to it it's supposed to last another week. The second, how true and your comment regarding Queens, well I hope to hear a lot of that this season.

nothingstoohot Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 As with all trialists it takes time to gel with new team mates added pressure to produce a perfect game especially playing in front of your home fans for the first time and with Antell being scrutinised with every touch, being judged, is he as good as last seasons keeper, Antell has only had 4 days training which have included two run outs against weakish opposition so I think theres alot more to come given the chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booitsme7 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I was speaking to a mate who is a Carlisle fan and he was telling me that Willie Gibson was a trialist for Workington Reds when Carlisle played them on the 9th July. Looking at Workington Reds website (http://www.workingtonafc.com/s/players-coaches-95293.html?player_id=972605) he also played there on Saturday against Gateshead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Conference North won't be that much of a drop from the second division I would have thought. I also saw that Gavin Skelton is player coach there. Edited July 15, 2013 by Sloop John B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main point John, is that Gibson , at his age and ability, should not be in the Conference North or the Scottish Second Division for that matter.Sent from my GT-S5839i using Pie & Bovril mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-S5839i using Pie & Bovril mobile app What would you think his level should have been then? he was a solid SPL player and briefly played for an top league 2 team, conducting a 6 figure transfer fee. He's had a career that many first division players could only dream of, but there is still the feeling that he could have stayed at a higher level for longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JrsLeftPeg Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Pleased that there are more testing friendlies on the horizon now . Far better preperation than the ones so far. Sent from my GT-S5839i using Pie & Bovril mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthetop Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Taking in the two cup games you could argue Queens have 4 friendless/practice games up to the first league game against Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railwayline Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Taking in the two cup games you could argue Queens have 4 friendless/practice games up to the first league game against Dundee. A few posts further up this page discuss attitude on the football pitch. If Queens take this attitude onto the park against Annan or Threave/Spartans they'll lose! I still cringe when I think of the cup game against Albion of few years ago when the players thought it would be a walk in the park against a 3rd division team., or more recently the cup game against Brechin. You would certainly hope that the manager will have the team prepared with the right mindset before these matches and that the boys will be up for a scrap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrsLeftPeg Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I happen to not enjoy friendlies very much at all. There are a couple of exceptions though. Remember beating Sheff Wed at Palmerston circa 1980 in pre season and also Carlisle Utd in the Borders Cup in the early nineties . That was good .

SUPERSOUTH Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Have Queens been linked with any other players? Heard McIntyre say he could do with 2/3 more in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
