DUMFRIES_CREW Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Alan Gray was player of the season in the title season. He wasnt released until a year later aftrr spending most of our first season up out injured. My mistake. Good player if my memory serves me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I should maybe consult the record books like a certain well known QoS contributor but I prefer a ' fading' memory . Many people do consult the records on occasion ( certainly I do). Generally just looking to give accurate info to the discussion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyRoughley Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 My mistake. Good player if my memory serves me[/quoteGray certainly was a good player. If I remember correctly, he only missed one game of the Championship winning season. I recall a game v ICT where Barry Robson gave him an absolute roasting but Robson was good enough to do that to lots of players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Gray certainly was a good player. If I remember correctly, he only missed one game of the Championship winning season. I recall a game v ICT where Barry Robson gave him an absolute roasting but Robson was good enough to do that to lots of players. Gray picked up a bad injury in the second last game of the Championship season as I recall. I think the one game he missed was the last one v Morton. I can't remember now what he actually did (knee injury maybe I think) but I'm sure he went away for the summer presuming it would be fine by pre-season and it turned out it wasn't. So he wasn't fit to start the season, I think he maybe had surgery and a rehabilitation period and never truly looked fit enough for first division football all season. His release at the end of the season wasn't a surprise by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Accuracy. Pah! Indeed. To quote Adlai E Stevenson. Accuracy to a newspaper is what virtue is to a lady; but a newspaper can always print a retraction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Was he a Connolly signing as well? He most certainly would have been but was sadly dead by that time. By my recall a good number of JC`s signings were dead in footballing terms but I`m fairly sure (almost) all of them at least had a pulse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly tongue in cheek from me DD. I am probably making excuses for getting it slightly wrong there but I do prefer to use the old grey matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeMan Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 So the first leg of the playoff is 9th May at Palmerston, am right? Is there a chance this could be moved for TV or any other reason? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 So the first leg of the playoff is 9th May at Palmerston, am right? Is there a chance this could be moved for TV or any other reason? Yes, 2nd leg at Ibrox or Easter road on Wed 13th. I`d imagine this scheduling would already have taken TV into account but given recent events who can tell.

Ned Nederlander Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) I congratulated Queens a few weeks ago but congratulations again now that the play-off places are confirmed. I know the league table confirms Queens are the better side but even if we'd sneaked into the play-offs I still reckon Queens were better suited to do well in them than us. Be rooting for youz to do well. Edited April 25, 2015 by Ned Nederlander 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
