the tourist Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Was at the game and was thoroughly entertained for 90 mins. The only thing missing was a goal, but the chances were there. Pitch looked fantastic, looking forward to the upcoming home games. Hope more of the same, thought the whole squad looked comfotable on the new surface. It was good to meet up with friends again on the terracing Great away support from Hearts fans. Todays overall performance looks promising for season ahead.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overthetop Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Most enjoyable game today. Queens passed the ball well and showed good movement. As stated the trialist stood out and looked a decent player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dg2 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Read somewhere that crowd was about 1500, probably about 600ish hearts fans i'd say 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The suspense is killing me: who was the trialist? Sent from my GT-N8010 using Pie & Bovril mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broony88 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Don't understand how a fan who knows a player saying it on a message board effects us signing the player. If we didn't want the cat out of the bag surely he wouldn't of played today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broony88 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yes I totally understand but would be very surprised if any scouts are scouring p and b for their players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

football maniac Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Well thats the 1st time Ive seen Queens under McIntyre and have got to say I was very impressed at how we went about our business. There were no failures in our team and we had Hearts on the backfoot for large chunks of the game - particularly in the 1st half. The trialist was definitely called Kevin and he showed up very well. His passing range was superb and he looks like a similar type player to Young who also prefers to drop deep to receive the ball and spread passes around. Dowie was fine but was not exactly facing a tough striker in Billy King so still can't really judge him. Same with Callum Antell who never had 1 shot to save all afternoon, so again it is difficult to tell if he is up to scratch. He barely even had any crosses to deal with either, so its hard to imagine him having an easier day. The subs weakened us a bit but not overly. Orsi nearly scored a wonder goal but the keeper who was their best player by a mile made another great save. Iain Russell really impressed me when he came on. Was really nippy and direct and looks like he should fit into our team well. One thing I cant understand is why we have kept McShane. He has never impressed me at reserve level, and if we sign this Kevin lad, then there is really no point him being here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Surely a wind up. No, it's not uncommon to see bullshit rumours made up on here make their way in to the papers the next day. Such is the awful standard of football journalism in this country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg2 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Pitch looked excellent & team looks as though it has picked up from where it left off last season. One slight criticism is that when your standing half way up the terracing you are unable to see the last 2 or 3 feet of the pitch at the byeline as the barriers are slightly too high/too close to the pitch, i wonder if has anyone from the club has noticed this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me as long as the officials can see that's all that matters. The squad must have impressed the new management today no failures in my book.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booitsme7 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Good to have football back at Palmerston and the new artificial pitch looks great. Its was a good match and the only thing missing from it was a goal which Queens deserved but 0-0 it ended. Also Trialist no.4 played well and I hope he plays the next friendly. Which is St Mirren on Wednesday before the cup games against Spartans then Annan. St Mirren lost 4-2 at home to Morton today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUMFRIES_CREW Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Queens played some really good football yesterday. Thought there passing game was brilliant. The no 4 trialist looked good as did Andy Dowie. Keeper was untested by a poor hearts side. Think we might need an other striker in as lyle might not be the answer in the first division. Unless Russell plays the centre forward role or Reilly. Think St Mirren will give us more to think about than hearts did. Cant see that hearts team pulling back from minus 15 points. Who was the guy doing the fitness warm up was it Flannigan ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the guy doing the fitness warm up was it Flannigan ? I would agree with most of that mate. The no.4 did look good and definitely earned the chance to play again to try and win a contract. Dowie looked solid and clearly likes to play the ball from the back, which McIntyre is obviously keen to encourage. We still dont know if the keeper is any good or not - Hearts never tested him. The one negative was our inability to convert our possession and chances into goals and that is the only slight concern from an otherwise decent performance yesterday. I too would like another experienced striker added to the squad as I have doubts about Tan Mans ability to score us enough goals if he plays the lone striker role like he did yesterday. Hearts were poor and I think it will be a long hard season for them and almost impossible to survive in the SPL on yesterdays showing. Pitch looked feckin great and I actually forgot they were playing on plastic after a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
