palmy_cammy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It's not the first time we've been told by rival fans that our new signing is a diddy. In this instance though, I tend to agree with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS LEFT PEG Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 10 years ago today . Queens lost 3-2 away to Motherwell in the Scottish Cup . Fantastic away support of nearly 2,500 there that cold snowy day ....... http://www.qosarchive.co.uk/070204.htm Was that really ten years ago ? A snowstorm of epic proportions and a valiant fightback which just failed to get a draw and replay. I remember fighting my way back to the bus with my girlfriend ( now wife) not being able to see hardly a thing through the blizzard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS LEFT PEG Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Can he pass? No. Can he tackle? No. Can he run with the ball? No. Does he do a lot of work? No. Can he head? No. Is he a leader? No. Enjoy Mark Fucking Kerr. It will not matter as he is just a bit of back up. A reminder though that similar things were said about Derek Young and he has been a fucking brilliant signing.

I remember fighting my way back to the bus with my girlfriend ( now wife) not being able to see hardly a thing through the blizzard. Yes, at half-time and 3-0 down, fans were chanting for an abandonment due to the snow. We managed to make it interesting, but we'd given ourselves too much to do. Conceding a needless penalty in the second minute courtesy of Andy Aitken didn't help. There really was a feel good factor around then. We'd been top of the League that season and took a big crowd to this game, as we'd done to Easter Road earlier that season. I liked Connolly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Aside from the Challenge Cup final at the same venue, I think that was my first away game. It still rates as one of my favourites. I must say I thought it was probably more than 10 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It's good to see that Kerr has got another club. He wasn't good enough for the Premiership but he played against Ayr and Cowdenbeath in the LC and did OK so he could do well in the Championship for Queens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS LEFT PEG Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Dont know if has been mentioned here but we have lost the appeal against Higgins red card so it still stands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Mark Kerr couldn't get a game for us when we were absolutely lightweight in the middle of the park recently. QotS is quite a significant step down from us though so I'm sure he'll get his chance to displease yet another group of unfortunate supporters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A " significant step down though " ? Is this the same Partick Thistle I have been watching on Sportscene all season desperately trying to win at home? Maybe it will be the same level then if/when you come down #thankgodforheartseh? Edited February 8, 2014 by JRS LEFT PEG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Kerr is indeed dropping a division. However, I'd respectfully suggest to the slavering simpleton that is Firhill Road, that he's joining a squad of broadly similar quality to that he's just left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temps15 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Im going to give the lad a chance, a lot of people wrote Young off when he first joined maybe Kerr will prove us all wrong. I dont think you can complain about a bit of depth in the squad and i cant see him being on that much a week. Win win situation if he plays well it will help us with our chances of the playoffs if he dont he will go at the end of the season. Nothing to lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not so sure about how significant the step down was at the Ramsdens Cup Final either . Minimal ? Non Existent ? Some fans live in cloud cuckoo land with their delusional shite .

Monkey Tennis Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Mate, I'd maybe have gone for a picture from that triumph that featured some current Queens players. There should be a Hell of a lot to choose from. Edited February 8, 2014 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P45 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Offt FR has rattled a few cages. The difference between the top/middle of the Championship and the bottom of the Premiership is significant unlike between the First and Second division. I've no idea what improvements Queens made to their team preseason but most of our squad that swept all aside in the first division have clearly been struggling to get points this year. Our form has improved in January once we brought in better players. The Ramsden Cup final was won by the better team on the day. I don't see how that is a gauge on this year's squads when from the team that finished for us last season only 2 or 3 will start against Motherwell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd disagree, assuming that in referring to 'the First and Second division', you actually mean the second and the third tiers. I'd say there's a bigger step between these leagues as it marks a notional divide, albeit with a handful of exceptions, between full-time and part-time sides. The changes in distribution of funding which have come in with the creation of the SPFL, are also likely to further cement the gulf between the second and third tiers as the biggest one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The changes in distribution of funding which have come in with the creation of the SPFL, are also likely to further cement the gulf between the second and third tiers as the biggest one. The Premiership is all about money. Far more so than any other league in Scotland IMO. We have the 2nd smallest budget in the league so we're 2nd bottom of the league. I agree there is a gap bewteen Championship and League 1 but if it wasn't for Hearts we'd be bottom, yet in comparison in the Championship Queens are 4th with almost the same set of players as last season. The part time sides have also been been competing well, more so Dumbarton and less so Cowdenbeath this season. There have only been a couple of our players from last season, who were good Championship players, that could even compete this season. The Premiership has so much more money than the rest of the leagues and it shows with Kilmarnock bringing in Eremenko and Ross County's shameless arms race. I can't think of a club that has come up and stayed up in the Premiership without chucking large amounts of cash at the team, but that doesn't really happen in the Championship to the same extent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
