The Queen of the South thread


Recommended Posts

Is the comparison suddenly now not as 'appetising' to mention now that McIntyres team is marching past McPherson's in points or am I imagining things ? Will have to look it up as the weekly scrutiny could be discontinued I feel untill we hit a run of defeats again.

Well, quite clearly, for those of us who are critical of McIntyre the comparison was of more use when it was closer.

Now however, we're thankfully performing markedly better than Gus' much poorer side were, the comparison is less illustrative than was the case.

It doesn't really represent any great triumph for McIntyre or his apologists though.

Was there a midfield player called (Robert) Campbell.

No 13, although he was a forward nominally I think, not a midfielder.

Signed in January 2008 as a free agent having been released by Kilmarnock but as he was cup tied and the cup became the focus of the season we rarely saw him on the pitch and he left at the end of the season.

But we are on a winning run, it's one in a row.

Steven Kinniburgh
David Nixon

No 27 and No 10. Well done.

Was Jamie Longworth not signed by Chisolm at one point?

No. He trained with us for while, played in a few bounce games and there was some suggestion from people who knew him that he'd been verbally promised a contract for the next season, but he never signed anything and Chisholm decided he wasn't good enough.

And we might even overtake Alloa soon. Woo-hoo.

This time last season, we were 17 points ahead of them.

But we're in a harder league now. And they're not.

No 51 was a pre-contract agreed in Chisholm's time but the player in question did not actually become a Queens player until Kenny Brannigan was in charge. It's a grey area which one "signed" him. Brannigan had no say in it but legally the signing was during his time in charge.

No 32 I'd be absolutely astonished if anyone gets. He was an amateur who was registered due to a rules technicality and never played for the first team. I'm pretty sure we never published the signing and he was here a couple of months at most before departing. Anyone think they know or will I just fill it in?

French?

Sort of. You're on the right lines. I think he played a couple of Reserve games so some may remember him if not the name.

EDITED to add - The player in question was born in France and considered himself French at the time I think, though he is now playing international football for another country!

would the pre contract be Colin McMenamin

No.McMenamin only joined us once Dundee had gone into admin and he'd been made redundant. He wasn't agreed in advance.

The player in question is still playing for us. ;)
