Homer Thompson Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I don't see that this change could do much. You absolutely offered the Raith situation as an example of the "risk" attached to such a move and the "harm" it could do. You're current backtracking on it is probably wise. You've just changed from "couldn't do any harm" to "could do much". Not sure I'm the one backtracking.I think you're reading more into what I've posted than is actually there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessieField Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 That's Dobbie on 90 goals for Queens now, moving past Jimmy Robertson and Ian Reid to 9th in the all-time goalscorers Top Ten. Meanwhile, Derek Lyle (113 goals) only needs another 2 goals to pass Andy Thomson's total of 114 and move into 3rd place of the all time scorers. It's been 60 years since Queens had 2 prolific scorers playing at the same time. There's a reason to go and watch Queens now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocky Dempster with 98 goals and Ian Reid with 89 both played in the same QOS team in the 70s. If you add in that Tommy Bryce mark1 and Peter Dickson also featured around that time then it`s clear the team had plenty of goals in it then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said it couldn't do any harm, I'm saying that I don't believe that is true. Because the league doesn't allow it. I'm not convinced the demand is there for an audio commentary. It would be nice to do but needs, probably, 3 people to volunteer to do it. Does the league allow delayed stream of the game. So A-Mac could watch the game 12 hrs later after full time whistle as an example? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessieField Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Oh-Oh! Just had a look at the book "The Queens 1919-1995", and it says on page 148 that Ian Reid was transferred to Airdrie in January 1977 after nearly 4 seasons, 191 first team games, and a total of 93 goals! The figure always quoted on here is 89 goals. Has the lower figure been verified? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that can't be right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) REID,Ian Born Glasgow. Signed in September 1973 from Dundee United. Ian will always go down as 100% player who could score goals. After an unsuccessful spell with Nottingham Forest, his career took off when he joined Dundee United, and after four seasons with them, he was signed by Willie McLean, the then Queens manager. In his first season with the club, he scored 28 goals and in the next season, a further 26. His Queens career came to an end in January 1977 when he was transferred to Airdrie, for a fee of £4,000. He also had a spell with Forfar Athletic. In all, Ian made 193 appearances, scoring 89 goals. Taken from QOS A-Z It does seem a lot of games in that time period.

Sending the programme out is an interesting idea, definitely one I'll look into. To be honest, though, until the club can get into a position where its using the CRM properly and using it for regular communication its unlikely there will be much benefit. 48 minutes ago, Doonhamer doon south said: Does the league allow delayed stream of the game.

OK I've just come to the conclusion that the Queens book is totally wrong, it must have been January 1978 he left the Club because according to the book Reid was playing in a 3-3 draw against East Fife in December 1977! So he must have been at Queens for 4 and a half seasons which would explain the number of games played! He must have played in nearly every match! That book is totally unreliable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
