Rcfc fan Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 2 hours ago, Savage Henry said: Laidlaw has seen off competition pretty much every season to be a serviceable top flight keeper. I can’t honestly say I saw that coming. Wouldn’t say he’s seen off much competition really, his performances have been good enough that we haven’t had to sign someone to properly challenge him/take the jersey. Decent move for Robesten , wouldve liked a move to Elgin or the likes for Macleod as he did well in the highland league last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a slightly interesting fact for anyone that’s interested. The stadium has 6541 seats, the population in 2021 according to the Scottish Government was 5231. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defeatist talk right from the start. Playing the psychology game to absolve any blame. Even refers to Dingwall as being a village. It’s a town. Let’s get some more positive spin like winning the league cup with a ‘village team’! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's certainly true Victoria Park has a capacity larger than the population of Dingwall, Ross County's catchment area goes far beyond the town. There's a clue in the name (and even more than that - it's the "local" league team for most of the northern Highlands). You'd think Mackay would know that by now. He does, of course, he's just playing mind games, like you say. On a slight tangent, I've always found it a bit annoying when commentators and journalists talk about away fans "making the long journey down from Dingwall". I'd bet if you did a survey of the away end, Dingwall residents would be in the minority. A good chunk of our away support will be central-belt based so might actually have shorter journeys than some of the home fans, and others will be from the wider Highlands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Caley v Elgin and v Nairn had it. Think Clach sometimes do it for donations to their youth development (a program I actually used to fundraise for when I was a coach there). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intersting going off what your saying that Nairn charged county for tickets but not caley! personally have no qualms giving highland league clubs £5/£10 as these friendlies are often better attended than the league games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a very decent signing. Unless he’s turned shite. Which sometimes happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) I'd expect him to be a good piece of business for Killie, be very surprised if he were shite for them this season. Good news for County, Akio is away back to Canada to play for Cavalry FC, undisclosed fee.

The 'extended summer break in Canada' worked out well for all concerned, then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
