Sounds odd. Strange he wouldn't just go back to the Tanner Fund. I'm sure he posts on here as @Baghdad_QoS maybe he can clear things up Hi Guys - I had to step back due to the focus on Town Board work primarily.....That's the only board for me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 4 hours ago, Mon_The_South said: As I said before, the Tanner folded when its Chairman stood away and the others didn't want to continue the struggle, deciding that the new director may very much have his own agenda. I didn't mention the new member influencing the previous struggles. As I commented a few pages back, when Tanner chairman stood back, I genuinely thought we were going to see an announcement onto the Club board as he has always been talking with them. Turns out I was very much mistaken 25 minutes ago, Baghdad_QoS said: Hi Guys - I had to step back due to the focus on Town Board work primarily.....That's the only board for me Thanks for clearing that up. So, looks like MTS was mistaken. The chairman of the Tanner Fund wasn't expecting an invite to the Queens board and, looks like, would have turned it down anyway. It would also appear that the Tanner Fund folding wasn't really related to the club either. It folded because the chairman left and he left for other reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeodhasXD Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 You will be a better judge than me but do you guys not think Reilly is living on his earlier career reputation a little? Experienced professional but one I feel is past his peak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will never get you 20 goals a season but works his nuts off and his all round game these days is very good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest 15 is an excellent return going by this season's top scorers so could be fair. Just not a player that strikes the fear in me anymore whereas earlier on in his career I thought there was something there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly or is it that they've made an offer while we haven't? Probably got offered more playing pt anyway and someone said he was going to the fire service. Shame as he's one of the few I'd have looked us to keep. Best of luck to him, he's served us well. 10 minutes ago, QoS99 said: Reilly and Gallagher some strike force for this league.

As another poster said, whilst he's not as lethal anymore, he can never be faulted for not working hard for the team and he's still capable of clever moves and holding up well. I think I also read somewhere that he lives in the Edinburgh area these days (not sure) and depending on where Arbroath train (Dundee perhaps?) the overall geography might suit him better now as he moves into his other career. Wish him all the best, I've never seen him not work his socks off for Queens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we’ve moved it (used to be Perth) as a lot of our more local players have now retired or left and we are also getting rid of the hybrid FT players who were coming up and living in the town 1 minute ago, LeodhasXD said: Used to be round the back of my mates house in Perth.

Already like him regardless of anything else and hopefully he can link up well with Gallagher or McIntosh when playing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard he was leaving Queen's and had a job outside football lined up so if he lives outside D&G as is being suggested then it's no indication on what we're doing unfortunately. Until we get a new board I doubt anyone will know yet Inc any managerial appointment, players signing etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MallanandFlanagan Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Gutted Gavin Reilly is leaving. Wish him all the best for the future and thanks for all your efforts this season and previous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenslad Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Is 100 fines over a season a lot? With a squad of 30 that's just over 3 each over 9months. What do you get them for - being late, dirty boots, not wearing teams training gear, bookings and sending offs etc. what happens to the fine money - reinvested back onto club, charity, players night out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
