central staggie

County genuinely look as if they are playing with no central midfielders. Lundstrum has literally ran 40 yards down the middle of the park 3 or 4 times free as you like. Randall is too deep and the game has completely passed Loturi by. Anytime we win possession back its a long thump upfield because there is no other options. Turner on Loturi off and try and keep the ball for longer than 3 passes. If Dhanda can get on the ball without being 20 yards from his own goal, that would help as well.

That's a safe, safe bet.

Unless a deal materialises out of fresh air that's too good to pass by, I'd guess we're unlikely to do anymore business. Suppose if a player or 2 we're to leave then that might change things.

Alex Keddie's hand is riding insanely low on Midge's hip there

Think you're forgetting a certain Mr Bone

Chasing the central belt dime, nae doubt.

The Caledonian is alright, was in there the last time I was up. They did accidentally charge me £71 for 2 pints though. The National is pretty good too.

I think, even given our differences in a footballing respect, we call all agree on one thing; f**k the tories.

100%

Aye, spoke to a pal who is an Arsenal fan who said he can play att mid as well. Couple of English teams in for him too so we'll see what comes of it.

Linked on twitter with Nathan Butler-Oyedeji. Striker apparently, which is clearly what we're crying out for.

Doesn't bode well, does it. We were short at CB anyway but I think that stat only reinforces the fact we need another defender in.

It probably was Henderson, he had a few shots at goal. Looked lively, granted against a League One side. Might have done better when through on goal in the first half - heavy first touch - and hit the bar second half.

I see on Brora's twitter we had an XI out last night against them at the HFA. I'm assuming it was the youngsters, but anyone any idea of what the team was?

St Johnstone fans have had a massive issue with County for longer than the last couple of weeks. It's really quite unusual, but kind of flattering in a way. Anyway, professional job done, was a no win situation but best possible start (on paper) to the group.

If you were going to make a cast of your authentic ICT player, then a terracotta Ross Tokely is what you'd be left with. I see Baldwin is club captain this year, and Laidlaw vice captain. Seems alright to me.

If twitter is to be believed, it might have been Jack Fitzwater.

I had a look at training it a couple of weeks ago, hoping to get an advanced ticket leaving from Edinburgh at much cheapness. Was the best part of £60, took about 4 hours and involved 3 changes.

That Paul Lawson is a player, btw. P.S. f**k St Johnstone their fans are all absolute banjo strings

Whilst 3 players coming in with experience of the Scottish game seems a logical and encouraging approach, I'm hoping that's not the extent of our business this summer. Need a couple more on top of that, I'd say. Fingers crossed

Callachan spent a bit of time on the bench last season, so even if he was demanding first team football he'd need to earn it - which he didn't last year.

He's a staunch rangers fan. Long may his scoring exploits against them continue.

Was listening to radio scotland on the drive up and MM was talking in the past tense about his time at County. Might be nothing to it but the presenter noticed it as well.

Taking absolutely nothing away from PT tonight, they should, and could have scored 5 or 6 deservedly, but that was utterly embarrassing from County tonight. Didn't think it was possible to play much shiter than Sunday, but we blew that out the fucking water tonight. Absolute dugshite from back to front - with the exception of Laidlaw. He has singlehandedly given us a hypothetical glimmer of hope in the tie. We could have played until Sunday and wouldn't have scored - we are fucking bang average.
