First Post-Queens Reminiscences

[Mr_Pharmacist]

Hello All. Been following the Board for a couple of years and finally decided to register and start posting. Have been a QOS fan for about 40 years, originally from Larkhall (so theoretically should have been an Accies fan) now living in Emgland for last 20 years, so have only actually been to a dozen or so matches in all that time. Of course with our recent success, I now get to see us on the box much more regularly but we rarely were in the 1970s. Three Querns memories stand out.

My dad took me to Hampden for (I think) a league game against Queens Park. Must have been mid to late 1970s. I remember sitting in the main stand with the Querns fans opposite with the QOS flag and wishing I was over that side of the ground. If memory serves we won 3-0.

Then there was the League Cup two-leg tie against Rangers (again must have been late 1970s/early 1980s), when we won the second leg 2-1 in normal time but went out after extra time (was it penalties or away goals or an extra time goal). Bu

Enjoyed reading that Mr Pharmacist ... Once Queens are in your blood then they are forever .

It's certainly a great time to follow Queens after years in the doldrums . The last 10-15 years has seen us win trophies and compete and some massive & memorable games .


For what it's worth , I think Queens will beat Status Quo

My first memories of going to Palmerston were about 1960 taking the train from Creetown. I remember seeing Ernie Hannigan waiting to catch the train back to Glasgow. Living in Suffolk since 1962 visits to Palmerston have rare, but I have seen several games including the Challange Cup Final and the cup games against Aberdeen and Rangers. I also saw the game where Stephen Dobbie scored four goals and had the pleasure of meeting him when he played for Blackpool at Ipswich. Hopefully Queens can get a victory on Sunday and get into the play offs.
