Pre-Season Round Up | 12th July, 2017 | Unfortunately, due to a Data Base fault, all my pre-season stories, including the one slagging Rangers and Gordon Smith after Rangers "embarrassed Scottish Football" by crashing out in the 1st Qualifying Round of the EUFA Cup to a side from Luxembourg (I'm still bitter!), have been lost, so I am adding this one as a reminder for the history books.
| Pre Season Training | 21st June, 2017 | |
Queens have started pre-season training at a new base in Hamilton, which I'd think will be a much better compromise between the Dumfries based players and the Central Belt ones. The first "pre-season" game is Derek Lyle's testimonial on Sunday, although I'm not sure how many of the current squad will be playing for the Queens side? Unfortunately, I'm away on Sunday, so won't be able to make this match.

Once again Queens sat it out as the play-offs to decide who we will be playing against next season took place, Gary Naysmith has already made a couple of signings, and we have the basis of a squad for next season.

Queens had enjoyed a great first third of the season, a terrible 2nd third, but had picked up again. What way would the rest of the season go?

With the transfer window now open, Gary Naysmith could start to bring in his own players, and get rid of some of the ones he didn't want, so could he finally end the long, winless run?

Gary Naysmith took over as manager for the game against St. Mirren on 6th December, 2016, a game which was now starting to look like a relegation 6 pointer. The former Everton and Scotland left back had a big job on his hands, but at least it was only a month until he would be able to bring his own players in.

With Gavin Skelton gone, Jim Thompson was put in temporary charge, assisted by former player Graeme Robertson, who had been working for Manchester City in China. Robertson was also Jason Cummings of Hibernian's Step Dad, but that signing never came off!
| Season Review 2016/2017 Part 4 | 20th May, 2017 | |
Jubilant Queens sat top of the Championship in the middle of September, and were looking forward to a League Cup Quarter Final visit to Ibrox to take on our "Old Rivals", sevco. Last season Queens played Rangers when sitting top of the league, and went into free fall after a heavy defeat. Surely history would not repeat itself?
| Season Review 2016/2017 Part 3 | 17th May, 2017 | |
Despite an undefeated pre-season, and a decent run in the League Cup Group games, the mood was still pretty bleak around Palmerston as we prepared to travel to Tannadice Park, Dundee to kick of the league season. But a HUGE announcement on 3rd August, 2017, was to change all that.
