    Linfield up next

    This is an intriguing game coming up. I have watched the highlights of Linfields last three games bar yesterday's ( dont know the score). Although it's difficult to accurately gauge the strength of opposition they are playing, Linfield have won convincingly in all these and are in second position behind Crusaders. They certainly have some very useful attacking players to watch out for. As or ourselves, it would be very tough on Higgins if he dropped out of the team to allow Marshall back in . After all , Chris has been part of a four with back to back clean sheets and has defended well even if his distribution was poor as usual. I would be inclined to keep him at left back and push Marshall into left midfield to keep the balance and shape of the team . I expect the large away support will make this a real cup tie atmosphere. Thoughts ?

    I hope there is enough Linfield fans coming across to merit the opening of the Tereggles Street end.

    This should be an interesting encounter with Scotland vs. Ireland.

    Would be good to see the Terregles Street terracing open to away fans to create a good atmosphere.

    I have just been told to expect 1,000 fans from Northern Ireland and that Linfield have been doing their homework on us very studiously.

    Really looking forward to this game since Linfield will be something of an unknown opposition. I would expect a noisy and boisterous away support from Northern Ireland as well as some confused locals of a blue persuasion to blindly turn up in the away end. Hope that the Dumfries public turn out to counter the large away support and add to the atmosphere.

    Agree with all these postings and just hope that Queens fans turn out in reasonable numbers despite the early kick - off and the game on television. Hopefully the local newspapers, Radio Solway and West Sound give this '' international '' match full publicity and also remember to get your tickets in advance at the Midsteeple, Dumfries.

    Another thing I've noticed from watching the Irish League Show is that a few teams have the artificial surface. Linfield will be used to it.

    Since around 2008 , I wonder how many of our games have been on live TV on whatever channel . Contrast this to our live TV appearances pre 2008.
