Ken T Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Here's one for the old gits like me. Was thinking what we need up front to help Brophy and it reminded me of the predicament we were in when Ian Fallis was tragically killed. Fair play to Rangers as they immediately offered us Colin Stein on loan for the rest of that season. I was thinking at the time he was a has been (although checking back he was actually only 30!), then in his first game v Dumbarton I think he picks up the ball 25 yards out and with minimal backlift crashes a torpedo off the crossbar. The rest of that season he turned Donnie McDowall into a previously unseen lethal finisher. So my thinking was rather than our recent scattergun approach recruiting a rogues gallery of strikers, should we not be looking for the equivalent of Colin Stein to help Brophy at a crucial stage of his development? Someone like Stephen Dobbie perhaps. Thoughts? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyman Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I’ve seen Dobbie play a couple of times for QoS in the last few seasons and he is streets ahead of the other players on the pitch. Doesn't have any pace but his skill, control and intelligence more than make up for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ngonge88 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Travels from I believe Fleetwood or something Dobbie. Fully plans to see out his career at Queens 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Lot of time for Dobbie. Has for a good few years now been playing for them when it's apparent he could have cut it higher up for longer than he did. He promised QoS fans he would be back to finish his career and stuck with that. He won't move on now. It's actually nice to see a guy do the decent thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkG Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Seen him a couple of times this season - time catching up with him imo. Previously would have taken him in heartbeat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonbon19 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Dobbie won’t move at this stage in his career , would have been good 10 years ago though . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steppskillie Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 I have supported Queens for well over 45 years and Dobbie is the best player I have ever seen in a QOS jersey. Absolute club legend up there with Allan Ball snd Billy Houliston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
