Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I suspect, though we've recruited well and should have a good season, this willbbe a tricky opening tie. Cross burning nazi Mackay appears to have brought in some decent players and they've scored plenty in the league Cup. 6 nil Hearts, Shankland with 5 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Reese Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 They will be decent when they have their best players available this season. Home advantage for us though. An entertaining and hard working 2-1 win for Heart of Midlothian. Shankland to score five. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountyFan Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Was looking forward to this but with no facility to buy or collect tickets on Saturday it looks unlikely that I'll be able to go. How hard is it to have e-tickets? Stenhousemuir and Alloa can do it FFS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 was considering it, but hearts are being awkward with away tickets why do so many clubs seem determined to make it harder than needed for away fans to get into games? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use e-tickets and have just installed new turnstiles with improved scanners all round the stadium, so not sure why we wouldn't be able to offer it to County. Maybe they insisted on physical tickets for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 That said, surely if you fancied this game having to get tickets shouldn't have been an issue given how long it's been scheduled. E-tickets would be easier obviously, but County put tickets on sale in mid July. Unless it's a last minute decision it's not really that big an obstacle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been planning it but am helping my sister move this weekend so I had to be sure I could work around that. It's a particularly acute issue for County's away support which is mostly central-belt based. Dundee are doing the same thing to Partick fans on Saturday but at least the majority of them presumably can get to Firhill to collect a ticket. I'm not going from Larbert to Dingwall to get a ticket for a game in Edinburgh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit weird e-tickets aren't available as we definitely operate with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staggie1984 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I ordered a ticket for the away end on County's website and they delivered it by post for free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because of old firm supporters getting in to the home end, and the resultant violence. Until that is no longer an issue, I think all clubs will try and tighten up where possible. Well, the clubs that don’t give them a couple of stands or more - anyway. Edited July 27, 2022 by Kyle Reese 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Really looking forward to this game. Although ideally we'd add another couple of options to the squad I think we are in a very good place and have recruited sensibly. Think it might come slightly too early fro Devlin to start given he's had a few niggles and I can't see Rowles starting as I don't think we'll move Halkett to the right of a 3, especially early doors, we'll want to be strong as possible. I think the lineup will be along the lines of: Gordon Sibbick Halkett Kingsley Atkinson Haring Grant Cochrane Boyce McKay Shankland Subs: Stewart Neilson Rowles Smith Devlin Forrest GMS Henderson Halliday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Neilson may edge out Sibbick for RCB if we play that formation. I think it will be that formation but Rowles at LCB and Kingsley at LB, with Cochrane dropping to the bench. Grant to come on and replace Boyce later on in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy1929 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I wonder who we'll go with out wide to start this. Sims and Owura seem to be the first picks but Olaigbe and Akio have both impressed, Sims and Akio having slight knocks may change things though. I'd go Laidlaw Randall Baldwin Iacovitti Purrington Callachan Loturi Dhanda Olaigbe Owura Hiwula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
