Steve Carrella

The financial position of ICT is much, much worse than reported. They are in serious difficulty and it's not helped by internal back stabbing which is preventing a coherent recovery plan being formed. There is no great comfort in seeing this happening but its a consequence of arrogance, incompetence and complacency.

It's worth mentioning that Robertson handled the Dhanda incident impeccably yesterday . I would hope Hibs issue a statement ASAP. I note that the BBC made Jordan White MOTM ...

I've just heard Montgomery say Hibs dominated the game. I really don't care about Hibs but when you hear horseshit like that i tend to have sympathy for those who've had enough of him.

At the risk of heavy ridicule I am firmly of the view that Steve Clarke should give up all notions of taking the likes of Jacob Brown/ Ollie McBurnie to the Euros and seriously consider calling up Simon Murray. He's no Messi but he'll cause defenders no end of trouble if he gets a chance.

Just heard that Sheaf is likely to be out for the rest of the season. I was entirely underwhelmed when we signed the lad but he's proved me totally wrong. He's been a revelation, I wish him a quick recovery.

The footage issued by County looks as if they tied a camera to a dogs arse and let it run up and down the pitch.

Not surprised that there are some County posters a tad quiet tonight. The football intelligentsia who were happily criticising Cowie's tactics and pontificating about what he should be doing must be more than a little embarrassed. Given what he's got to work with he's played a blinder. Today's set up destroyed Rangers back line and had their midfield on the back foot throughout. To those who mumbled on about what Sims brought to the party - you have your answer. I'm particularly delighted for the lad as he has had some life changing issues which he has risen above. I was at the Cup game in the 60's so this was a long time coming!

You appear to spend an inordinate amount of time on YouTube . How ironic.

For the love of God, please stop the Turner is Messi horse manure. He's late 20's and not remotely capable of playing above Championship level. Good luck to the lad but let's move on.

The general reaction to last night's friendly is actually mind-boggling. The criticism of individual players and manager is beyond nonsensical. As a 66 year old I've seen Scotland hitting relative highs but more commonly witnessed absolute drivel. I know of players who did not want to be selected, players who've called off for no genuine reason and players who went through the motions on the pitch. Anyone having a pop at the current set up needs to take a reality check and understand where we have come from. This squad will give everything they have to succeed, if it's not enough so be it but it won't be because they don't care. Whilst I wouldn't have welcomed a 4 -0 defeat we need to get it in context. Identifying issues is the main purpose of these pre tournament friendlies and playing a high quality side away from home will certainly do that. I like the fact that Robbo was gutted after that game and that they know they need to arrive in Germany in a better shape. Bizarrely, I prefer Scotland going into a something of this magnitude not being full of themselves - 1978 anyone? So, please stop gurning, get behind the lads and appreciate how far they've taken us.

Does Shankland actually train during the week? He looks remarkably out of shape.

I need to offer my apologies. I thought we were talking about the Turner who played for Stranraer, Airdrie , Partick and can't get off the Raith bench. "Resurgent" is doing a lot of heavy lifting methinks.

The only natural appointment after all this would be Derek Adams.

This reminds me of a long forgotten ( and missed) police tactic of simply standing back whilst two local worthies beat the crap out of each other whilst mouthing evermore incoherent bollocks. They let them do it because eventually they would just tire themselves out.

The uncontrolled excitement at us signing Turner in the first place was absolutely mind boggling. Never a Premiership player in a million years - mind you there are quite a few in that category who are still getting a game.

As much as it grieves me, today's result has made me give up hope of a top six place.

So, two instances of where it was an issue...

Agree, I was a bit puzzled when Loturi got hooked, that's the best I've seen him play and although he was tiring there did seem to be more likely candidates for substitution. I suspect that's the last of starting with a front 3 until the split. Going to need to bolster the midfield and stop being so narrow - it's not really viable for 90 minutes. However, it's given up 4 out of 6 points so it would be churlish to moan. On a huge positive, Cowie is certainly getting commitment and drive from the players.

The squad is not too small, the Kansas City Chiefs probably have a smaller retinue. We have players on loan all over the place, 87 players out injured and 53 players on loan. The issue is quality not quantity.

Would like to think Cowie is going to be brave enough to stick to the three up front, you saw on Saturday how important it is to keep Brophy fit for the remainder. Goals are going to be vital as we seem hell bent on conceding from individual and collective errors. If we go down I'd fully accept it if we give it a real go for the rest of the season.

It's been a while since it felt like County were at it and although it wasn't great quality it certainly had heart today. Pleased for Don Cowie and hopefully he builds on that. Some really good performances today and obviously the main plaudits will go to Brophy, however, I think it's worth mentioning that Sheaf was excellent too.

White, Brophy, Murray all start. Crivens!

I don't think you fully appreciate how absolutely honking the squad is - it would struggle in the Championship. The fact that it was allowed to get to this point is heehaw to do with Cowie. Harry Potter on steroids would be hard pushed to sort it out any time soon.

I seem to recall a County poster described Ayina as talented but a bit raw. He's a bit raw in the way that Mount Everest is a bit high.
