  1. Deserved win. We started well and quite rightly were awarded the penalty. A tremendous finish which no keeper would have saved. . Second half Motherwell pressed, but for all that Laidlaw just had one save of note to make. He coped well with the high balls in to the box and comfortably snapped them all up. Dreadful penalty (it was one in my opinion). How you manage to miss from that distance is beyond me. No need for the challenge which led to the red card. Referee got that one right. Seedorf was the only real threat for the visitors. Tougher tests await, but to get a home win and a clean sheet is a great start to the season.
  2. If there is no sign of this outbreaks relentless march across europe slowing down in the coming weeks then I personally think the season should be stopped with no more football played until next season. Peoples lives are far more important. There are people out there who will I am sure make greater sacrifices than those who may not receive a medal for coming first or getting relagated. .
  3. Having just seen the highlights of the game I think its fair to say you wont see a better brace of goals scored by a striker in Scotland this weekend than those scored by Billy McKay-both were brilliant finishes.
  4. Not a bad 0-0. Plenty of effort from both sides with few clear cut chances. Hearts probably ended the game the stronger with a string of corners, but we stood firm. A draw was a fair result and happy to take another point. I thought we looked a more solid unit and the signings look to have strengthened the side. Great travelling support, well done to all those who made the long trip to Dingwall.
  5. 1- Beating Celtic at Hampden-twice! The glorious day in April 2010 when we beat them 2-0 will never leave me. Lifting the League Cup was brilliant and a huge achievement. Both pieces of silverware were in the Highlands that season. That wont happen again I reckon. 2-Promotion day to the SPL when we beat Hamilton 5-1. 'Shoes off for the champions' was funny 3-Beating Hibs in the Scottish Cup quarter final. The jailend was heaving that night and to see the goal go in was remarkable. 4-Jamie Lyndseys last gasp leveller v Dundee United last season. That was incredible and although it didnt secure the title it felt like it did. 5-The opening goal against Queen of the South in the Challenge Cup final in Perth-funny 6-Stefans last gasp winner v Celtic. Being 2-0 down and to come back to win 3-2!!!! 7-The boxing day draw against Falkirk. Our unbeaten run was in serious danger of coming to an end but Colin slamming the ball into the net as the referee was close to blowing the final whistle was brilliant. That result made me believe we really could go on and win the league. 8-The 4-0 win v ICT in Dingwall. Liam Boyce was some player getting all 4 of them. 9-Ritchie Brittains free kick v Celtic-an absolute belter. Our first SPL goal. 10-Alex Shalke winning a penalty v Celtic-I couldnt possibly condone it, but we got a point in a 2-2 draw 11-40 games unbeaten. That wont happen again any time soon. 12-Winning 5 trophys. Has any other side (apart from Rangers and Celtic) won more silverware in the past 10 years? All in all it has been a good decade.

  6. We have played you twice this season and won 2-1 and lost 2-1. Not a lot between the sides on the day.
  7. Despite the defeat we played well and we at least deserved a point, but down to 10 men meant the game swung in the favour of the visitors. Other than Rangers or Celtic there isnt really that much seperating the other teams in this league That game brought down the curtain to another decade at home. Looking back over the past 10 years we have had plenty of highs to enjoy. A Scottish Cup final, a league cup final win, 2 promotions to the top flight and a top 6 finish, a 40 game unbeaten run, Challenge Cups-all in all plenty to be happy about.
  8. Against Hamilton on the first day of the season we were terrific and had a comfortable win of 3-0. Since then it has been a mixed bag of performances with nothing getting close to that first game. Today however was by far the most enjoyable game to watch since that warm day in August. We battled, showed composure, passed the ball well and showed real determination to build on the 2-1 win v Hibs. We did stuggle with the final ball into the box at times and left it really late to snatch the 3 points. but we thoroughly deserved the win. Well done to everyone, it was great to watch.
  9. Two terrific goals by Ross Stewart when it seemed we would huff and puff to another defeat. A very welcome three points. I thought Paton and Spence worked hard.
  10. Two away games on the trot and we have come from behind to snatch a valuable point. Will be interested to hear how well erwin did.
  11. A splendid outcome. When you are 2-0 down with 20 minutes or so to go and you get a draw it feels like a win. Two trips to Edinburgh this season and we remain undeafeated-very pleasing. 13 points from 10 games is a very good haul, an average of 1.3pts/game. Keep it up please.
  12. I was thoroughly delighted to see one of the finest free kicks seen in Dingwall in recent seasons nestle in the back of the net to level the match at 2-2.
  13. If you get 40 points in this league you give yourself a great chance of staying up. After 6 games we are 25% of the way to that figure and that is very pleasing. Absolutely delighted to get back to back victories and the horrible performance v Livingston can be partially forgotten.
  14. I have some of the blue and white ticker tape that blew out of the machine when Ross County lifted the league cup. I thought I wont be celebrating any more major silverware anytime soon so gathered up a few wind blow pieces and put them in a frame along with the ticket and photo of me and the family at the ground.
  15. A poor game of football, not helped by the very windy conditions. The visitors I felt got the better of the midfield when Vigurs went off. Two great strikes which hit the woodwork and the disallowed goal helped enormously. Excellent travelling support, over 400 I believe. In light of our recent results the 3 points were very welcome.
  16. Despite the penalty miss I am delighted to see us take a point and keep a clean sheet. Four points from a possible six is a tremendous start for us.
  17. A tremendous performance from Ross County today. The first half was the best 45 minutes of football I have seen since the first half display against Ayr Utd last season. Not one player could be picked out for a poor performace, every one did really well. Every point earned is vital as it will be a tough season, so to get 3 on the board and a clean sheet is very pleasing A lovely day for a game of football too.
  18. Really dissapointed with the result last night. Really pleased with the results today. Hooray.
  19. What an excellent turnout of fans for the game. Its wonderful to see the stadium almost full. Hopefully the cash injection such a healthy crowd brings will provide revenue for the transfer window. Any word on Stelios who went off? I think he has been an excellent addition to the squad. Player of the season along with Mullin so far for me.
  20. The important factor in a game of football is a sides ability to put the ball in the back of the net. A team can have a copious amount of chances and either squander them or find a keeper pulling off fabulous saves and all the effort counts for nothing. Then you have the a team who have one chance in 45 minutes and take it. We had the one chance and we took it-that is the difference in the game today. We go home happy. A fabulous way to end the year, top of the table, winning the derby and hearing other teams around us all dropped points.
  21. Tired of watching the team now, how many home wins is that this season? The squad on paper looks more than capable of doing well but a poor performance on saturday means we have just 1 point from 12. I cannot see where the next win is going to come from. On our form relagation/11th spot is a real possibility.
  22. Seldom have I celebrated a goal so exuberantly as I did that day. All seemed lost but what a finish by Colin.
  23. I didnt hear anyone shout abuse at any player but if true why oh why oh why do people do it? If they feel that strongly go to the players entrance after the game and have a word with the individual that gets them so hot under the collar.
