  1. You mean to say you've never seen defenders pass the ball around amongst themselves only for one to casually flick it up to head it back to the keeper who can grab it and then take his time kicking it?
  2. The first half added time was 1 minute, Nisbet was on the deck for longer than that notwithstanding other stoppages such as the goal celebration. Are you suggesting the 4 subs left the field in one perfectly synchronised movement? Have you ever been to a football match?
  3. Agreed, couldn't abide that. I reckon the recent cup match Hamilton Accies vs Ross County would still have ended 0-0 after 5 days. So from what's been said it seems some refs are more judicious with the added time than others. Maybe the SFA should send a memo so they are all on the same script.
  4. What’s the difference? Surely it’s just a widely accepted colloquialism?
  5. One of the things I found refreshing about the World Cup was the unprecedented injury time allowance, not just at full time but at half time. I think this caught the media off guard as it meant programming schedules were often delayed. Personally I thought it was brilliant as it offered much more game time and therefore value to matches. I was disappointed it doesn't seem to have carried over into domestic football. At the last Ross County home game on Tuesday night we played Hibs which saw a game ending injury to Kevin Nisbet as well as 7 other subs. The injury time was 3 minutes... So my question is should refs across the SPFL take injury time more seriously? Should we have a "stop the clock" rule like rugby?
  6. Scottish Media Old Boys Club in overdrive with Malky Mackay and Yogi Hughes being touted. Surprised Dick Campbell hasn’t been mentioned yet, he’s another best pal of the pundits.
  7. Will the lottery numbers also be one short like your first stab at the starting XI?
  8. What a completely bizarre argument when disallowed goals count towards something. All that tells me is that: a) Rangers strikers can’t time their runs b) Hearts back line steps out as a unit.
  9. Can only assume the deal was done before window closed, but they held up announcing it for personal or other reasons.
  10. Ross County have signed Gwion Edwards on loan, any Saints fans familiar with him from ten odd years ago?
  11. Has more than a hint of Spud from Trainspotting to him..
  12. I tend to agree. I think Kenneh is an improvement on Tillson. Tillson offers very little going forward whilst what I saw of Kenneh he strives to disrupt then push forward, per the example of our first goal on Saturday. I am still raging about Johnson being sold and Randall replacing him. Randall clearly has no left foot, so why on the overlap he continually cuts in onto his weaker foot and lose all momentum is beyond me. At the risk of sounding like a West Stand worthy, "get the ball in the box mun".
  13. Harry MacKirdy, wtf is he all about? Looks like he was picked up by the bus on the way up to make up numbers.
  14. How exactly is Roy Macgregor profiteering from the cost of living crisis? You do know that global energy aren’t an energy company right?
  15. Well you’ve only yourself to blame, your night was clearly going to be downhill after that.
  16. Lots of attacking options! Overall it’s been a decent window, cut our losses with a few duds, and improved our attack. Can’t really complain about that. Let’s hope Iacovitti and Baldwin stay fit, as we now look a wee bit short there.
  17. Also, if you could invite Kevin Nisbet for a pre match triple quarter pounder too that would be great.
  18. They do a triple quarter pounder with cheese. Don’t dare look at the nutritional stats, but it’s one hell of a burger. Add fries to that and a large chocolate milkshake and you’ve consumed enough calories for a 10 day trip across Antarctica.
  19. From his brief cameo on Saturday Alex Samuel looks very handy and well suited to the Scottish game.
