That is certainly what should happen in this kind of circumstance.

And theres absolutely no evidence that it didnt

I never said there was. In fact, if we are/were trying to sign him then I'd be astonished if terms hadn't been discussed prior to a visa being sought. Edited August 5, 2013 by Dougie Mills

Are you going to ask everyday?

YES!!!

[Broony88]

Heard this morning that the problem with Kevin isn't the money but length of contract, queens not keen to offer the two years he is requesting. Would you relocate half way across the world for maybe only 12 months ?

[Guest TOPFITTER]

YES!!!

WELL THEN !!!!!!!!!

Queens clearly not keen on two year contracts. Would be a shame if some compromise isn't found.

Agree let's hope the board and player manage to sort sorting out.

That's more like it, fancy taking a pen on Saturday?

No will leave that to Michael Paton ta.

Jesus, I wait all this time to see Saints play in Dumfries...

[palmy_cammy]

Bearing in mind the seeded nature of the draw, it's one of the best we could have hoped for.

It won't be a huge crowd but as always - winnable tie > pay day.

I think it'll be alright in terms of attendence, it's an SPL side and the cup holders which could attract a bit of interest and they brought a fair few down for a midweek friendly so they could bring more down for a competitive game. Considering they have Ross County away beforehand, a few more would rather save for Dumfries than travel to Dingwall.

Wonder if Lennon will blame the pitch if they lose again?

Record Watch Update

Presumably the final update to the season records post ( i might do a bit of research into things like clean sheets when I get a chance though!). Today's 1-0 win over Albion Rovers extended out many of the already broken records and of course Nicky Clark's winner ties the club single season scoring record that has stood for 81 years. An amazing achievement. The best defence record and best goal difference are now formally confirmed though it was obvious for a while they'd be coming.

Club Records Already Set:

All time record points total for a season was 67 achieved in the 2001-02 championship season. We finish this season on 92 points, smashing the previous best to smithereens.

Latest First League Defeat in a season. We didn't lose our first league game until December 11th. The previous record was November 9th.

(Tied Record) Most Games Unbeaten from the Start of the Season. We were beaten in our 14th League game which matches the 13 game unbeaten start to 1985/86.

Most wins in a season - 24 in 1961/62. Again, another record smashed. The new record is 29.

Record Unbeaten Run in a Season - 16 games in 1950/51. New record set of 18 games, ended at Stenhousemuir.

Earliest Date for Clinching a League Title - 20th April 2002 was the previous earliest (it was 28th April 1951). This one was clinched on 27th March 2013.

Most points in a season using 2 points for a win - 55 in 85/86 (which was a 39 game season). This season's record equates to 63 despite being three games shorter.

Least defeats in a season - 5 in 1932/33. Best post war is 6 in 1950/51. This season we lost just TWO league games.

(Tied Record) Record Unbeaten Run at Home (League Only) - 18 games. We will go into next season with a chance to beat this.

Least goals conceded in a league season - 31 in 1923/24 but that was a 30 game season. 33 in a 38 game season in 74/75 is probably better. However, this season finishes with just 23 goals conceded.

Best goal difference in a season - +45 in 1961/62. We finish this season with a goal difference of +69.

(Tied Record) Most Goals for an Individual in a Season (All Competitions) - J Rutherford 41 goals, Nicky Clark ties this with 41 goals in 46 games.

And, the one that got away...................

Most goals scored in a season - 99 in 1931/32. Best post war is 94 in 1959/60. We came up just short on this one, finishing the league season with 92 goals. Still an astonishing return in modern football though.

Happy to hear of any corrections in the above existing records? I might have missed something or there may be errors in the source data somewhere.

So, just to resurrect this on the one issue still running into this season:

Record Unbeaten Run at Home (League Only) - 19 games. A new club record is set with yesterday being the 19th successive home league game without defeat. We are now unbeaten in the league at Palmerston since May 2012 when Ross County won 5-3 in Allan Johnston's first game in charge.

Impressive and long may it continue.
