The Myth of Goalkeepers | 21st November, 2018 | |
After the game at the weekend, I thought I'd like to do a little mid-week update on what we expect from our Goalkeepers? Is it reasonable for us to expect the 2nd choice Goalkeeper at a Scottish Championship side to be the next Gianluigi Buffon?

| Safely Through | 29th July, 2018 | |
Despite Motherwell scoring 3 in the last 10 minutes to come from behind to beat Clyde yesterday and win the group, Queens are safely through to the next round of the Betfred League Cup as one of the best group runners-up.

Let me think, Queens v LivingstonHearts in a pre-season match, or BrazilEngland v BelguimCroatia in the World Cup QuarterSemi Finals? I know which one won out for me! And just for the record, I was disappointed with the result!
| Pre-Pre Season? | 7th July, 2018 | |
Let me think, Queens v Livingston in a pre-season match, or Brazil v Belguim in the World Cup Quarter Finals? I know which one won out for me! My thinking is, the new format League Cup Groups were brought in to give sides games before the league season kicks off, so this game was a warm up for pre-season! I was talking to Willie Gibson a couple of weeks ago, and he was saying that with Peterhead making the Play-off finals, he would only be getting a 3 week break this year. You may find it hard to sympathise with someone on a 1 1/2 hour week  , but when you think of the travelling he is doing, and the pressures professional sports people put their bodies under these days, is that really fair? It's not as if he's got a week at Christmas to look forward to!

| Season Review 2017/18 Round Up | 6th June, 2018 | |
The frustration of the 2017/2018 for me was summed up when Livingston came through the play-offs to earn promotion to the SPL. You can say that Queens have no right to beat Dundee United, Dunfermline, Falkirk etc., but Livingston probably had a smaller budget than us! They hammered us 3-0 at Palmerston, but actually, our record in head-to-head games with them was won 1, lost 1, drew 2. I believe we had a team at least as good as their's, but it was their ability to turn draws into wins which saw them succeed, they seemed to have the will and belief to win. They also proved that it is possible to come straight from the 1st Division to The Championship and go up, I remember when we came up we were happy to consolidate. They just seem to have a different attitude!
| 2017/2018 Season Review Part 7 | 2nd June, 2018 | |
Queens season fizzled out, before sparking back into life when it no longer mattered, to give us all (false?) hope for next season. Here's how our season ended.
| 2017/2018 Season Review Part 6 | 30th May, 2018 | |
January can be a make or break month (ask St. Mirren), so we waited to see what Queens could do in the transfer window to kick our season on. Unfortunately, probably the biggest thing to happen was Chris Kane and Jason Kerr returning to St. Johnstone, as they had both been hitting a bit of form, although we did manage to bring in some decent players.
| 2017/2018 Season Review Part 5 | 26th May, 2018 | |
As we entered the Autumn months, Queens continued to hover just below the play-offs. I was quite pleased with the way we were playing at this time, and thought we looked as good as most of the teams in our league.
