That’s depressing enough, without some of our fans saying they don’t care we lost to them. Apathy has well and truly set in. Who this season have an insane budget for this level.

Classic whataboutery. It looks like Caldwell has balanced the books quite well since taking over. He’s made lots of signings but he’s also got shot of plenty, and barring Mutombo they’ve all signed up elsewhere, so I don’t think there will have been much in the way of severance fees required. Budget should be no excuse for our predicament (we’ve probably got the 3rd highest, and are sitting 10th), but at the same time we don’t have Roy McGregor either.

There isn't a week that goes by without you creeping in threads and saying something to this effect. County's budget will be significantly larger than most in the division, yes. I'd wager that Dundee United's budget is considerably bigger than theirs again. DU are able to consistently select a full first-team XI in the reserves, who, Toshney apart, would improve most first teams in the division.

Our budget was cut by 40% in the summer and it'll be nowhere near the top 3 budgets from the last 5 seasons (Hearts, Hibs, Rangers, could easily add Utd after their Jan business) so nowhere near insane for this level.

Shout out to the mongos having a go at Anderson at the end of the game to piss him off.. I heard this happened? Utterly brain dead behaviour.

lpad Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Legs went in the middle of the park. Harkins and bannigan were spent 5 mins into the 2nd half. County players started to find time and space easily and just picked us apart compared to first half where we were pressing relentlessly all over.Might have been a different story if we'd hung on longer after the break but the best team took the points.

A dejected looking Anderson looked to the JLS at fulltime with a “sorry” kinda expression. Bunch of idiots at the front were shouting abuse (at everyone) so then Anderson looked pretty pissed off and mouthed something back as he walked away.

We were probably a little ahead on budgets before the new chap came in but pushed the boat out significantly in January. No doubt we'll be the highest spenders in the division now. As it should be,tbf, as the biggest club in the division. Looks like it won't be enough though to win the league this season. County's comeback today and United dropping points could be what decides it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALJAGS76 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Amazing how much the game swung on that one moment of Spittal's fresh air kick. County's resolve after that first half was tremendous though. We should of had it won, but county ran out worthy winners. Anybody having a go at Ando needs shot. Also, given how much the Weirs have helped us, it's a bit rich having a go at Uncle Roy's investment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point, and we definitely are lucky that the Weirs won the lottery, but there is a pretty substantial difference in the two “models”. Colin Weir cleared our bank debt and funds the youth academy, but doesn’t have anything to do with the first team or its budget. Which to me seems like pretty much the opposite of what Roy McGregor does at County. I wish Colin Weir would just sugardaddy the f**k out of it, though. Would be much more fun.
