  1. Just back in now, late winner made the 6 hour round trip worth it. Couple of points from today -

    Ross Laidlaw was outstanding, and must be involved in the Scotland conversation. 

    I don't know where we'd be without Simon Murray. Even when he's not scoring, he gives us an outlet to bring players into the game. Give the man what he wants to keep him here for the next couple of years.

    Eli King was impressive today, has grown into the team.

    Ryan Leak looks like he has lost a lot of confidence after last weeks mistake. Laidlaw saved his blushes with the Boyle 1on1 save.

     

    Enjoyable game, and buzzing with the 3 points.

    Seriously, this is supposed to be Hibs, like Edinburgh! Cost of living crisis or not poor stuff...

    County get ridiculed repeatedly about travelling supports - generally from moronic celtic or the rangers fans, who completely forget that it's 3 hours minimum to most grounds and 150+ miles every second week. 

    Don't forget it's the same for the fans travelling up to Dingwall, even if it is only twice a season.

    In short, stop being a p***k.

    They’ve been this bad for about two seasons now.  The Rangers game was the outlier, not this one.  Next season will be exactly the same, short of a massive investment in the playing squad.  

    I think regardless of what division we're in next season, we'll see plenty of changes. Half the squad are loan players or only on contracts till the end of the season.

    I suspect we’ll go with the exact same team we did against The Rangers. Don was tactically against them and I just hope he doesn’t over complicate things today. 

     

    I'd like to hope so - no one from that team deserves to be dropped. 

     

    Just as a heads up for any fellow Staggies travelling in, was in Livingston this morning and there are roadworks on the A899 (big main stretch of dual carriageway) that I think has blocked off the turn off for the stadium on that road. Shouldn't be too much of an issue as you can go past the shopping centre and towards the ground that way.

    We should obviously be confident (and with respect, Livi probably shouldn't be), but unless I'm mistaken we have lost our last 5 in a row on the road... Something's not quite been clicking!

    This pretty much sums up my feelings ahead of this one. I'm still buzzing from the rangers result, but a defeat here could undo all that hard work.

    We were pretty pish in the last game at TMA but still found ourselves 2-1 up in the 90th minute. I'm hoping that however we do it - doesn't need to be pretty - we get the win that builds on the momentum from Sunday and carry that into the last 4 games.

    As stated on the County thread, massive game.

    I had no memory of Derek Adams scoring three hat-tricks against Montrose in a calendar year. For those interested, since 1994 we have scored 38 hat-tricks. Liam Boyce scored five of those, Adams four, Neil Tarrant/Billy McKay/David Winters did it three times. Boyce/Garry Wood (of the blonde variety) and Brian Graham each scored four in a game for us. 

    Some pointless trivia for your Thursday afternoon. 

    I was at one of David Winters hat-tricks against Raith at Starks Park, can't remember when it was but we won 7-1. One of my favourite games watching County. Want to say around mid 2000's.

    So this weekend Ferguson skippers Bologna, McGregor came off the bench as he recovers from injury, McKenna played for Copenhagen, and with the exception of Injured Gilmour, Hanley, Shankland (ill) and Nesbitt all the possible squad members gained some game time, even Barnes played some time.. (just if he stays away from the dark side)      

    Don't think McTominay played either.

    Plenty pubs but if you want closer to the ground then Archibald Simpsons on corner of King St/Union St will suit unless you hate spoons.

    After game head to Belmont St area which is 10/15 mins max from station. Loads of pubs around

     

    Thanks mate 👍🏻 

    Seen somewhere that some of the pubs closer to the ground are home fans only - that still the case?

    Ross County fans still seething we took the fat mess Brittain without any bother, then managed to saddle them with him again while signing a far superior player with the money they gave us.

    Its great to see.

    In my experience, this seems to be a bigger issue for your fans than ours. Brittain would have strolled into your team swirling a kane, and you know it.

    Hate St Johnstone as much as IC&T; eh?!?!?!

    Absolutely. Maybe the fact we never play ICT so much these days has blurred the lines, but f**k them both.

  10. Nice to see former Dingwall Academy pupil Jake Henry getting a debut try in what was one of the few positives for Edinburgh over in SA.

    Although the U20s have struggled over the last few years, we really could do with a handful from each year making the step up for the pro teams, and on to the national stage. I'd say this is a pretty important period for Scottish rugby - it's as good a team as we've had in a long time, Edinburgh & Glasgow in particular are doing alright but there's a clear mental barrier stopping us from becoming a top, top side.

    Scotland should have put 50 on Wales and Italy, beat France and went into the game against Ireland with a shot at the grand slam. Instead, we won 2 from 5 and another campaign has just petered out.

    I see that as a 4222, Randall as a holding midfielder beside Loturi.

    Unless it's a 4312 with Sims behind Brophy and Murray?

    As mentioned above, hopefully Randall gives a bit of desperately needed fight in midfield. Glad to see Khela getting a start, he at least looked to be positive when he came on at Easter Road.
