Lambies_Apprentice Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Queens have offered to take part-time winger, full-time lazy b*****d Mark Corcoran off our hands after Derek Adams wants to let someone go before we add to the squad. He would have been at St.Mirren the same time as Gus? Has John Stewart signed for Raith yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Corcoran's performance against Motherwell in the Scottish Cup in 2006 was possibly the best individual display I've ever seen from a Saints player. I've got vague recollections of him running riot, out wide in a game on a Saturday night Sportscene. I'd imagine it's that cup-tie I'm thinking of. I take it from subsequent career developments that such performances were rare? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy4life Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I thought someone linked him to Raith, and I was sure it was you saying Dundee. New signing undergoing a medical today. Mark Corcoran. Run along now... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it from subsequent career developments that such performances were rare? That would probably be it as we wouldn't have been on Sportscene otherwise. Even at Nevin was raving about him. Charlie Adam scored two in that game yet Corcoran was man of the match - their careers have taken rather different routes since then. On his day he was very, very good - just didn't come around anywhere near often enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsilitis Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Most clubs have started pre season now. Morton reported back on Monday with us still short of two or three players but most of our targets seem to be doing pre season with us. When will Queens have a big enough squad to start pre season? There's not much time left to get a new team together and see some semblance of gelling together. I don't think fitness will be a problem with MacPherson but getting a team to play as though they have not just met each other takes time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendonakisaki Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Training starts tomorrow, 5 of last years first team signed up as well as a former player (though I don't think he played with any of the other 5). Also think a few of last years 19's are signed up. any update on Harris or Weatherston 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-season starts tomorrow and Gus has already said there will be 24 players there. I would think its very likely that those 24 will then be whittled down until we get a final squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brannigan is to be believed, the 24 will be whittled down to a final squad of 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 He looked an exciting player a few seasons ago. It's funny how it seems to desert some guys. Maybe Gus can get it back for him. He's a player who has often looked dangerous against us but has been utterly anonymous at County. I have to admit, knowing he was surplus to requirements at County and that MacPherson had signed him previously, I had wondered last week if he might make a move for him. I haven't heard anything from this end to suggest it though, it was pure speculation on my part. I've no idea if there's any truth in it. Corcoran's performance against Motherwell in the Scottish Cup in 2006 was possibly the best individual display I've ever seen from a Saints player. His performance in that game was outstanding. I remember it well. Training starts tomorrow, 5 of last years first team signed up as well as a former player (though I don't think he played with any of the other 5). Also think a few of last years 19's are signed up. Craig Reid was here when Simmons was. It was the back half of 2008 he played with us (after Adams did his cruciate for the second time). Reid was signed in January 08. I believe Messrs Black, Degnan, McGowan, McShane, Smillie, O'Hear and Orsi are all agreed, though not actually signed yet. Orsi is injured of course so presumably won't be doing pre-season. Harris says on twitter he is attending preseason with Queens as he has been offered facilities to stay fit. Good to hear. I had heard an odd rumour that he was quite bitter about the back end of last season. Whilst I doubt there's any realistic likelihood of him playing for Queens again any time soon (he's better than that now) it's good that he's still involved at the moment. Anything else would have been a shame. Bob Harris has been a magnificent player for us over the years. That cross for JT at Hampden. That free kick in Denmark. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I am still unsure of the actual squad numbers from last season, 16 including or not including the 'keepers? Unsolved mystery... There were a lot of unsolved mysteries last season. That wasn't one of them. As KB told me himself at one point. He never included keepers in squad numbers (Hell knows why? They count in the eleven!). Whenever he referred to having x many fit players he always meant x many plus the keepers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnethead Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Michael McGowan has signed for Ayr United so won't be appearing for pre-season with Queens. There are also rumours going round that Scott McLaughlin will be heading your way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies_Apprentice Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Apparently Queens were after the one from Albion Rovers who claimed he had fell out of love with the game or whatever. The one from Alloa is Nizzy's lovechild. I always thought he was a good player at Clyde, no idea how he lost his way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 If Brannigan is to be believed, the 24 will be whittled down to a final squad of 3. Plus he'll turn up at Glasgow Green shouting at Gus to "get off the grass". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 On local radio up here this morning that Adam Strachan has turned down a new deal with Arbroath and is joining Queens. Doesn't seem to have been mention of it yet on this thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Adam Strachan is dreadful. Simmons was dreadful last time he played for Queens. Corcoran is fat. MacKenzie is also rotund. In Gus we trust. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
football maniac Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 It's the pregnant girlfriend head-butting one of many, many clubs. You won't like him, and he won't last. So far Gus seems to have targeted a pervert (Lithgow) a wife beater (Strachan) and has signed a shite player (Simmons). Wonder whos next on his list? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
