Programme says McLean and that now explains why I had a nagging feeling in my head all game that that wasn't what I thought McLean looked like! Euan Anderson is about 8 inches taller than McLean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 The ref and his assistants were good value all game, looked a few penalties in the county shout but my favourite moment of their incompetence was early on and we had played a ball back to Kelly which was at least 2 yards out of play at the by line with the linesman right in line and he did not put his flag up. Earlier this season, we lose that game 1-0 (literally because VAR didn’t exist) so was good to see us get the win but I think both teams could still be playing now without scoring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after 5 minutes, that accent.... Always chuckle when I hear people from the West of Scotland giving it big licks about the Highland twang, when the ability to breathe through their noses has bypassed them. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 That was a very bad game. The only highlight was Stephen O’Donnell backheeling it to himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Donnell wrestling with Watson; good. O'Donnell baiting Edwards into a red; good. Kev leathering a penalty home; good. Malky absolutely SPEWIN in his post match; exceptional. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) There was a lot of passing going on, balls into space for people to run on to, it was like some of the football you see on the telly. I hope we aren’t going to turn into one of these tiki-taka teams. Edited May 20, 2023 by ropy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not the best game granted but it was decent enough. And we deserved the 3 points based on all the stats available. We were not at our Kettlewell best but we were clearly the better side. People deride VAR and it does slow the game down unsurprisingly. But today it correctly ruled out a County penalty and correctly awarded us one. Huge kudos to the job Ketts has done. Amazing stats and quite honestly unbelievable after the cup defeat at Raith. As for the big Dutch bugger….not his best Game but still score 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunningly beautiful woman, was ace chatting. Sadly not a Dingwallian accent she had and doubt she had connection to the town at all. Lucky player, whoever he is!! I tip my hat to you whoever it is.

well fan for life Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I see Malky Mackay was fuming in his post match. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair fucks to him for still giving 100% when he's out of contract in a few weeks. Technically out of contract but he'll definitely be offered a deal on better terms. What's the prognosis for a broken bone these days, 3 weeks in a stookie and then be care for a further three. Nothing to stop him showing up for day one of pre-season anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 It was pretty much the same as our last few wins where we were the better team and limited the chances the opponents had. It didn't look like we wer Seeing the handball on Sportscene it was a stonewaller. Maybe he didn't mean it but it was still a swipe that took the ball away from Obika. Don't think Casey broke his arm, I think a dislocated shoulder that they popped back in on the park. Because they pulled him up with both arms which would be weird if one of his arms was broken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I have no issues with McKays thoughts on the two penalty decisions but his claim that there was no justification for the additional time was him just denying what happened in front of him. How can it be 12 minutes if no one died? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the board went up there were subs, with at least half of those being after injury stoppages and of course a very lengthy VAR check. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think by the rules, he should have let that shot go first. similar to ours from earlier in the season when Deano nearly got his shirt ripped off and we scored. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 This is certainly not a criticism of the County fans that attended but there was talk of having a really good support at Tannadice and hoping for the same again. Were there reasons for a good turn-out last week but not yesterday? Is it as simple as Dundee is easier to get to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 The weirdest thing about the game yesterday was that County weren't as fired up for it as I expected in the circumstances. We definitely had a bit of the end of season's about us and County kind of drifted into that too I felt. Is it ok to enjoy a surprise last minute penalty but still hate the big VAR delays and wish the whole thing was quietly forgotten about after next week? (Also: would love to have a transcript of the County player's efforts to unsettle Van Der Veen before the penalty - didn't even merit him seeking them out after the goal, so must have been amateur "the keeper always dives left mate" kind of pish) I'm loving our entirely neutral effect on the relegation battle BTW - if we beat all the contenders, who goes down is nothing to do with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
