Queen of the South 1-1 Livingston - Sat 23rd Aug '14

After our resounding thumping of the Hearts babies the other night I hope we continue to get in about teams and take our chances, which was a welcome development, because we're usually quite wasteful. 3 points please.

If he's playing, Russell will score. We'll need #feedtheHippo and big White on form today.

Agreed. A draw was maybe about right although we did try to push on when their lad was stupidly sent off for yet another trip by bringing on Burchill.

He's a really clever player who can run into space and set up others but although their keeper was forced into a couple of seriously good stops we just couldn't get the winning goal our second half play deserved.

I've not read the Queens website match report yet but as it's usually a pile of one sided swivel eyed nonsense I'll give it a miss.

Queen of the South 1 Livingston 1: Jim McIntyre relieved to break out of Lions den

JIM MCINTYRE cut a relieved figure last night after his Queens side preserved their unbeaten league run despite going a man down.

The Doonhamers looked odds-on for a third victory on the trot when Kyle Jacobs found his own net with 11 minutes of the first half left.

However, the hosts were pegged back midway through the second period after Jordan White converted from the penalty spot.

Queens could have gone top of the pile with a win at Palmerston yesterday but McIntyre was happy enough to escape with a point.

He said: “I’m not disappointed with that.

“We’ve been excellent in recent weeks but we just didn’t have that final bit of quality. When you have an afternoon like that, I’ll gladly take a point.

“I’m happy to get the point after going down to 10 men too. We went to two banks of four with one up front and knew we had to defend and give up possession.

“But I was confident with our back four that we could see it out. I’m just pleased we managed to keep our unbeaten run in the league going.”

It was a surprise to see when John McGlynn subbed both Miles Hyppolite and David Robertson at half time because they had done so well aganist Hearts but we were definitely better in the second half. We were dissapponted (but not surprised) to see Beene=ie cheer against the Livi fans when Kyle scored the OG. I never warmed to him. Too much of a diver!
