Scottish Premiership bottom club Ross County are showing signs they are good enough to stave off relegation, says interim boss Don Cowie. (Press and Journal - subscription)

I didn’t get any reply to either of my emails. Perhaps I used the wrong tone or sent it to the wrong emails.
Did you use the phrase ‘you stupid c***s?’
If not, then that’s your first error imo.

AFC tried to phone me the other day. I missed the call as I was at work but the voicemail said my email had been passed up the chain to get the responses I was looking for and they would come back next week.

I get where velo army is coming from. I always feel a little uncomfortable with them, purely because any applause feels a bit insincere. If it gives the grieving family some comfort I suppose it’s harmless, but they’re not really for me.

Gartenman just isn’t very good. Plenty if endeavour but unfortunately his lack of size/physical presence means that he needs to compensate by being an intelligent defender and/or good on the ball, of which he is neither really.

Technically still possible to finish top 6 unless I've miscalculated horribly. Not in our hands, as would rely on a number of results going in our favour.
Yes, mathematically it is still possible. In reality, no.
Does feel better having a bit of a gap over two teams and sucking Motherwell in.
I did think we were shit for the most part today though so can’t rest on any laurels yet.

Can also put me down for feeling absolutely nothing, good or bad, towards wales or the Welsh.
Hal robson kanu’s turn and goal against Belgium though was a really iconic moment though.

I would like to believe we’re very far down the line in getting closer to being in a position to move things forward on a timeline that is in line with the medium- and long-term strategic goals of the club.
I like the sound of this. I trust you.

A bit like betting against your own team. If it comes off you look like a right clever b*st*rd, but if Aberdeen win you won’t care, because, well, Aberdeen won.
Yeah, but only if you don’t say it out loud. Which you just did. Well done on relegating us for the first time in our history.

I remember my first meeting with my dissertation advisor:
‘the key is to make it about something that really interests you’
’well, I…’
’no, not football. Do not make it about football’

”HUGE games kicking off all over the country, the DRAMA of Scottish football is unmatched. This is why we love it.
Now michael, tell me, what has been your worst VAR decision of the season??”

Wasn't there a season where you averaged less than a goal a game in the league?
Thats what I had in my head too. But happy to be corrected. I am going purely on memory.

Clearly we really need a full, ordered list of Scotland's biggest clubs so the perennial second tier fans can have a sensible, rational discussion about not being placed higher due to their massive travelling support/their great-great-grandpa seeing them lift a trophy after making it back from The Great War.
At the very least an independent body should be set up to establish a clear set of criteria and order of importance to measure ‘my club is bigger than yours’.
Longer term I’d like to see a government initiative to develop a formula or balanced scorecard to settle this debate once and for all. The people deserve to know.

Whilst I appreciate the flippant humour, it is quite a big (and welcome) bit of news for those that want to attend the matches which are often the most crucial in our season.
You’ll be shocked to know looking down my nose at how pathetic both clubs are is of far more interest than the outcome itself.

Good to see resolution and compromise in one of the world’s many ongoing crises. There is hope for the planet yet.

I remember it well. The forums were disappointed. It couldn't have been more of a 'meh' type appointment for me than it was.
24 months later I'd have let him have a go on my wife, guided him in and lit his cigarette for him afterwards.
Yep, I remembered his st Johnstone teams and the way they played and that he paid cash money for Ricky foster and couldn’t have been more bored by the appointment.
10 years on folk seem to hate him so seems I was right

I’m genuinely interested to know what communication people want.
When things are going bad, no one really wants to hear “we weren’t at our best, stick with us, the fans were amazing” etc.
For the manager search, there’s nothing much more to be said until a manager is appointed. While the process is ongoing, I don’t really see what is to be gained from saying anything publicly about it.
The openness on things like stadiums developments, ticketing, kits and merchandise etc from AB and DC was welcomed imo and it’s a shame that this has stopped. I suppose it was inevitable when you see all the roasters tagging them in posts constantly.
I’d rather they just provided substantive information. I’m more miserable than most, so there’s a happy medium. But I always thought cormack talked too much about what he was going to do and what he wanted. That might sound wise after the fact, but fairly certain I’ll be on record on here saying it at the time.
The case in point was there document about style of play etc, a garbage piece of work with absolutely nothing substantive in terms of delivery. Just a fantasy wish list of things fans like to hear.

Done well to speak for 15 minutes and say nothing at all.
As someone who doesn’t cry about their lack of statements I do agree with you.
But given the bedwetting about a lot of this I get why they went with a more intimate interview instead of a statement.
Was mostly a big nothing though, a 2 paragraph statement could’ve provided the same level of relevant information.

As this season is one that seemingly refuses to flush, I presume we will lose this and require me to keep watching this god forsaken football team between now and may.

Well perhaps we learned nothing new because the Manager stuck too much to type in his team selection in what was after all a home friendly match.
Dykes was chosen over Shankland, despite him toiling in a struggling QPR team, whilst Shankland had shown enough in cameos and on Friday night to justify a start. Similarly, John McGinn has recently gone off the boil at club level so here was a chance to start Lewis Ferguson who is having a great season with Bologna. When he finally did get on he produced energy and forward runs which had hitherto been absent.
So an opportunity to 'learn something new' was virtually squandered when it was obvious from 25 minutes in that we were right off it. In singling out these players above I don't think anyone emerged with credit and I hope Patterson doesn't become the lightning rod for criticism because it was shite from back to front.
Right ok so the manager could have made some different decisions (one of which I highlighted in my original post re dykes) and things may have gone differently.
Sure, we’re in agreement there. But is it worth the kind of hyperbole we’re seeing here?
No, IMHO.
