Kyle Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Agree Stagsby, after Saints went 1-0 up County were the far better team in the first half up until Spoony's piece of magic for the second. We seemed far too reliant on a punt up the park. Second half we kept it on the ground and were really comfortable until County's first, after which the equaliser looked fairly inevitable. Liam Boyce is a constant threat, makes great runs to attack the ball and gets on the end of loads. We all thought a left footer, I.e. Liam Craig was going to hit the free kick (as did your keeper by the looks of things!!) and up steps the legend Mackay to win it. Exciting match and a cracking result for us. You can't beat watching Saints though, where else in world football would your star striker leave the warm up 20 minutes before kick off, climb into the Saints crowd behind the goal and down one of the entrance tunnels to run along behind the stand asking folk where the pissers were. Legend!! When you say star striker, do you mean Michael O'Halloran or Steven Maclean? They both seem like the types, in different ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Fisher Joe Cuptie Scobbie Thanks. How did Joe do? I seem to remember some Aberdeen fans saying he was better in the middle than at full back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Saints Fan Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Thought Joe was alright and I prefer Fisher at right back , so much more positive than Joe and some of his long passing is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aitchy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 If Tommy Wright is not on the radar of clubs in England, then God help them. Hope he stays, but any Chairman worth his salt down south couldn't fail to be impressed at his record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he stays, but any Chairman worth his salt down south couldn't fail to be impressed at his record. It's just a matter of time now tbh. I hope Callum Davidson is learning the ropes to take over. They're clearly a fantastic team, but I'm not sure he'd uproot his family, with him being back home now. This squad is just incredible though. Missing Anderson, Easton, Cummins and Lappin today - seems Sutton wasn't in the squad either? - and we produce a result like that at one of the most difficult away days in the league. Huge credit to everyone at the club for the run of results we've produced in the last few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Sutton was on the bench. We also made no subs until 90+1 and the team had been on a 3 day pisser earlier on in the week. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem to have the same authority or leadership as Tommy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem to have the same authority or leadership as Tommy. I have similar niggles regarding Davidson. Maybe a bit easy going. To be honest, I think the squad we have manages itself to a large extent. So many old pros with very high standards for themselves and it seems to rub off on the younger players.

nelsjfc Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Great result, think County will be safely top six too. Glad to hear Shaughnessy played well again. I don't think he has let us down since signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Love III Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Terrific afternoon's entertainment up in Dingwall. Hadn't been at Victoria Park for a few years. Not since Frazer's Wright's back-post header ended Ross County's 40 game unbeaten run in 2012. After 60 minutes, it seemed likely to be a fairly comfortable procession to the final whistle, with Saints looking accomplished in the second half, but one lapse in concentration completely changed the match. That was the one real blip for a defence that had been largely solid and reliable for the most part, with Shaughnessy in particular making blocks and continually being in the right positions. I thought County responded well to that nightmarish start, and Murdoch really should have equalised in the first half from such close range. Appeared destined to score. Wotherspoon's second goal was a fantastic bit of individual play, and something that we'll hopefully see more from in the coming weeks and months. He's so capable of producing moments of magic, and with a bit more confidence it could become an even more regular occurrence. O'Halloran had one of his quietest games of the season, but as we saw with the run that led to the critical freekick, he has the potential of creating a game changing moment at any time. I think we all thought (the 'keeper certainly did!) that Craig would take the kick, and that is why you should always have two opposite footed players standing over the ball. There is an element of doubt for the defence and goalkeeper, and even though Dave's freekick was fairly central in the goal, Woods wasn't mentally in a position to recover. He didn't expect it. Fantastic scenes at the end, completing just another of what has been an array of memorable matches since August. I've enjoyed almost every game that I've attended this season. Despite the success, that was lacking at times last year. There has always been something to take away from the matches, whether it be the result or a particular moment or goal. With this team, you always have the sense that anything is possible, and there is undoubtedly an expectancy - both from the fans and players - that they can respond positively and turn games around. There is a taste for the theatrical with Saints this year. And long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macca Thought Joe was alright and I prefer Fisher at right back , so much more positive than Joe and some of his long passing is excellent. That was the best I've seen Fisher for us, he was excellent yesterday. I also thought Scobbie had a good game at left back. Shaughnessy did well at centre back against a tough opponent, the extra bit of height made a difference in dealing with the high balls - that might well be his best position.

Also having a few versatile players is a huge boost . Really hope that we have a right good go at Celtic this coming weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagerf Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Enjoyable game both teams had chances to win it. Fisher much better in his proper position. MOH had quiet game but did County concentrate on him to much and give Spoony room. Typical Saints performance in that when players made mistakes the others were there to back them up.

PauloPerth Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Have to say I really like Ross County's ground now the away end is covered.. probably one of the best small all seater grounds around. 5 minute walk from town and pubs, there's also a bar for supporters at the stadium, 2 minutes from train station, all covered with no pillars (apart from home end), stands all really close to the pitch and a sensible size capacity so for run of the mill league games it's still a decent atmosphere.
