Jim McLean's Ghost

BBC had the first half positional data up mainly to laugh at Ross County's tactics. McGinn really not doing much bombing forward at all. I actually don't remember him doing anything really significant in the game. Where as on the other side Bevis and SOD are both pushing way up the park

County faans might think the penalty was wrong. It was soft as f**k and Paton seemed to go over at very slight contact. Was never getting overturned but I think plenty of refs just wave it away.

Looking at the County team it struck me how small they were. Jordan White was the only big guy. None of the centre backs are BIG We have been shite at defending set pieces recently but County's first corner was a shorty. They have no targets to hit even against us. Bair physically dominated the County back line. At half time I was looking at the County subs and there wasn't one big body among them either.

Vale had a decent wee cameo. First thing he did was kick someone as soon as he came on. Put himself about and took his goal well. He was only on 10 minutes but aside from his goal he had a chance to play in Gent and overhit it and another one where he was desperate to get it on his right foot and took a poor touch. As January loans go he has already done more than Aitchison did last season.

Sportscene has been replaced by a man mincing around Skye. WTF

Butcher left at the end of his contract iirc. Tommy McLean left after giving notice but it may have been different in pre-Bosman days For example in the acrimonious split between Tommy Burns and Kilmarnock they couldn't stop him leaving to become Celtic manager but Celtic got into trouble because he was still registered and under contract as a player. Killie subsequently stopped him from registering as a player with Celtic. He might not have wanted to register but Killie did not give him the choice.

We still aren't winning games And a heavy defeat to county in midweek will put us in the playoff spots. His coat is still on a shoogly peg.

Sportscene's single hibs highlight of the first half was an overhit cross.

Also the O'Donnell-Mugabi interchangability on the right was fun tbh. The poor man's Tierney-Robertson. Of course it only makes our signings even more curious.

Liam "No Hands" Kelly didn't cost us a point despite his best efforts. Played fine, should have won. Usual lack of quality up front. Enjoyed giving KVV a booing and then his little meltdown at the end. Van Veen? more like Has Been. Theo Bair is the truth.

Sign a million wing backs, Stephen O'Donnell still first pick.

Halliday over Miller is insane imo i would also have Mugabi over Butcher (and oxborough instead of kelly)

another fullback ffs

We just signed a right back. O'Donnell and McGinn can play right back. It is shambolic. Why did we sign Callan Elliot if we need another right back. Kettlewell is obsessed with full backs. I think we have signed 6 this season Gent, Souare, Spencer, Callan, Montgomery, Devine

Rob(OUT)son RobINson Alan Burrows might go with the guy he knows.

There was a VAR line that came up and said ONSIDE

Maybe this ref just doesn't like booking anyone. Should have been a yellow for Davor and maybe one for Butcher there.

VAR drew a line that was on screen for like a second. I think VAR is claiming McGinn was level with him.

THE BAIR

This ref is a wee p***k. Two bad fouls by Philips now. And once again refs letting players charge into head contact with no yellow

He was given onside by VAR with one of the ropiest lines I have ever seen

Taylor Swift has bought us a surprise gift.

Wait Cameroon need another goal? And an equaliser for Gambia! Crazy ending! edit: i'm not sure his hand was in a natural position there

SCENES for Cameroon!

neighbour's empty bin blew through one side, fence, collapsed on the other. Front gate has been reinforced with a planter behind it. Wild.
