Aye, it was DPM catering before this current gang.
Are the company doing the catering just now local? If so you'd have thought they'd be keen not piss folk up there off.

Yup. A rare scouting success. Wonder who spotted him?

The current County squad? Not a chance.
Does Don Cowie qualify?

Yip, catering has gone markedly downhill since start of season. The hot chocolate is just tepid brown water. Last week they had no bovril.
At least under Kettlewell’s rein the food was hot and the drinks plentiful. (Much like Mussolini and the Italian rail system). Ketts is a County legend, and I look forward to him bringing his team up on Saturday.
2-1 CountyThey ran out of milk on Saturday as well, so got powdered shite that clumped together perfectly in the coffee. Would have been better with cottage cheese.

First and foremost, to have any chance of keeping Brophy beyond the end of the season we need to stay up. Secondly, Brophy needs to feel like he is getting back to his best and enjoying playing for the club, which hopefully he is. Lastly, we'd need the finances to entice him to stay. Even if we met all 3, there could still be a more appealing offer on the table.
I'm taking it on face value at the moment, and will enjoy the next few months that he's at the club. What happens after - we'll see, but I'd like to think that if he continues on the form he's in now then we'd at least ask the question.

Granted, United were poor today, but that was a very good display from County. Brophy was brilliant, his second goal was as good a goal we've scored in a while. Such an improvement from last week, made the 6 hour round trip worth it.

Believe it or not he has played there a good amount this season already. When we play Owura at RWB, Randall has often been the RCB.
I've genuinely watched just about every game this season, too.
For my 2 cent, he needs dropped or moved from RWB. Would be happy enough to see him start in the back 3 tomorrow if it meant Gwion Edwards played in front of him.

I agree in as much as 3-5-2 gets most of the best players in their best positions. However there are two big issues with it from an attacking point of view, one of which you identified:
1) The long balls from defence. Iacovitti loves a ball into the channel for people to chase. Harmon and Randall too. It’s a deliberate tactic too, whether pressed or not. Why play a playmaker when the ball by-passes him for percentage football. In this age you need one, arguably two of the centre-backs to be able to step out with the ball. County don’t do that.
2) You can’t win enough matches to survive when playing with two strikers who are supplied by wing-backs who don’t cross. Harmon averages 0.9 key passes per match (ie nearly one pass that results in a shot). Randall is 0.2. Harmon has been quite productive but hasn’t been so consistently good recently. You know what you’re going to get with Randall ie nothing going forward. So much depends on Dhanda and/or Loturi to drift into the outside right channel to put crosses in. The long ball tactics don’t help get them into good positions.
There needs to be a shift in the team’s passing patterns, or they’re goosed I reckon. Pray for one of Brophy’s snapshots going in.
I had never considered playing Randall at RCB, but with rank rotten stats like that from a genuine full back it's maybe not the worst idea. He's been so frustrating this season, getting into decent enough positions down the right wing only to pass the ball backwards and ultimately see it shelled forward into no man's land by one of the CBs.

Gwion Edwards did look like he could offer more going forward, but Randall appears to have fallen into that undroppable category that Callachan was in for the majority of the season.

Not really, to say you have got to be looking at points from fixtures like this implies a level of expectation that your form and ours didn’t support.
We are brutal away from home, which is why we are struggling to make top six but the flip side of that is our home form is so good, it has us with a chance of top six.The statement was contrary to the facts.
As was stated elsewhere, with the exception of the two Glasgow mutants, every other team in the league can beat anyone else on any given day. It's not unreasonable (optimistic at times, perhaps) to suggest that games against St Mirren and the likes are a chance of points. The same would be true if the tables were turned and County were on form, and not one County fan would be taking to an online platform to shoot anyone who said otherwise down.

Away to a team 6th in the league who have only lost 2 home games all season?
What an odd thing to say?

Neither White nor Murray have had any service whatsoever today. Long punts down the channel leaving no one in the box. Randall goes backwards every time and Harmon has looked nervous.

County are a fucking mess at corners

Given Motherwell's result in the week we could do with getting a result here.
Anytime we've hit a bit of decent form this season there's been a break, and it's set us back so hoping that's not the case again tomorrow. Don't have the stats off the top of my head but don't seem to recall Paisley being a particularly happy hunting ground, so I'd be happy with a point. Hopeful

Great ball, great header.

County need to push a little higher at the moment if we want any chance of taking something from the game. Sitting too deep when the rangers have the ball letting them pass the ball along the 18 yard box.

Was his attitude problem that he didn't get on with your racist manager?
Probably more to do with the fact he's a sesh merchant

He's going to score tomorrow. It will be the only goal he scores for County but it will be enough to send us into a tailspin of despair and hopelessness.

Fairly blatant penalty denied to the Rose towards the end of the half there.

Josh Stones is the rumour on twitter. Is he 'the fat lad from Wigan' you're referring to?

Accies have tweeted an update on match entry arrangements.
Both sets of fans are in the main stand with Accies fans using turnstiles 4-6 at junction of the stands.
Ross County fans are to use turnstiles 1 & 2 at the Sainsbury's End - that's all the way down in the corner past the front door of the main stand.
Jeez, this could be like watching a game down the green on a Sunday morning.
Did the BISC get enough interest to run their bus?

Can’t see us getting either to be honest. You’d assume Mayo would just stay at Killie given he knows the club, it’s close to home and they’ve probably got the best chance of staying up out of the three IMO. Brophy would be a terrible signing for us I reckon as he doesn’t suit our system whatsoever.
We have a system?

Caird Street car park - massive, free & much easier to get away from after the game than anywhere else.
It's about 10 mins walk from the away turnstiles.
Don't park in Morrisons or the 'underground' car parks next to NDP as it'll take you ages to get back out cos of the queue of cars at the traffic lights after the game.
Cheers fella.
