Hawk Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I know it's still early days to think about the play offs but I was wondering when in May do the contracts of most of the team run out. We only have about six or seven players signed right through till June next year. http://spfl.co.uk/play-offs/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cresswell qos Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Pointless Kevan is indeed Kevin Osnowski who played five first team games for Queens in 1970/71. He also played for Lincluden Swifts and in season 1984/85 was playing for English non league side Hampton & Richmond Borough. There's a photo of him in the squad if you google his name and the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Well we have a difference of opinion between: My mate phoned me and said that there was someone on the quiz show Pointless called Kevin who used to play for Queens . Turned on tv and said McCann down the phone almost straight away. For me , the wingers most memorable act was scoring the first goal in a famous - at the time - SC victory over Motherwell in early 80 at Palmerston. Strange seeing someone on television that I hadn't seen for over thirty years but recognised him instantly all the same. and: Am 90% certain that the Kevin was not kevan McCann.Mccann's main claim to fame was scoring for Airdrie in the 1975 cup final in a 3-1 defeat to Celtic and I think he would have mentioned that if reminiscing about his career. He also didn't look like McCann in the least.I vaguely remember kevan osnowski and I would say it is more likely that this is who it was. backed by: Pointless Kevan is indeed Kevin Osnowski who played five first team games for Queens in 1970/71. He also played for Lincluden Swifts and in season 1984/85 was playing for English non league side Hampton & Richmond Borough. There's a photo of him in the squad if you google his name and the club. Weight of evidence is seems to suggest it was Osnowski. Certainly from that photo it does look like him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS LEFT PEG Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I could be wrong as these two seem very definite about it. I looked at an old team photo to double check and still say that the guy on Pointless looks similar to to Kevin McCann although I concede it might not be him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read one comment on Facebook from someone claiming it was definitely Osnowski as he is their sister in law's next door neighbour or something. Unless that's an outright lie it seems clear it was Osnowski. As others have said, had it been McCann I find it hard to believe that the first thing mentioned wouldn't have been his Cup Final goal, rather than playing a few games for Queen of the South. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Right someone needs to contact Kevin McCann, Kevan Osnowski and the producers on Pointless to sort this out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, had it been McCann I find it hard to believe that the first thing mentioned wouldn't have been his Cup Final goal, rather than playing a few games for Queen of the South. As I said , looks like I am mistaken but look at page 151 of the Queens History Book 1919-1995 to see if you can see any similarity . I think there is and this is why I said McCann.

JRS LEFT PEG Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Only one point seperating four teams in the SPL for the 'honour' of appearing in the play offs and finishing second bottom. Thats what you call tight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRS LEFT PEG Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I like these kind of teasers, - Osnowski or McCann etc, even if I am wrong . Gets people talking about ex players and their memories of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was it ? Having searched for the image of McCann scoring I know this but wouldn`t have known who it was without checking In addition another player in the Celtic line-up also subsequently played for QOS and another was a future member of our coaching staff.

Well it's well before my time but I know Celtic beat Airdrie and McCann got the Airdrie goal. At a guess for a Celtic player from the 70's who went on to play for us I'd say Pat McCluskey? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't seen this when I posted the first answer. I thought it was possibly early for him but is the other one Frank McGarvey? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Mmm, puzzled then. I'm probably forgetting someone really obvious! I'm presuming the player in question played for us before 85 which means I probably never saw him play for us and I'm trying drag a name up from reading it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too big a clue really but he also managed us at one stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
