yoda Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Part 1! The exciting debut album as opposed to the disappointing follow-up (see: Strokes, The). The film we all love rather than the inexplicable sequel that we wish we could erase from our memories (see: Caddyshack, and Caddyshack II). Or am I misguided in that assessment? Is this a mere sideshow that is distracting us from the magic of the cup? The difference a 0-3 away win makes is incredible. A few weeks ago I looked at this fixture and thought "McDiarmid Park in late November? I'll be washing my hair that day". Now I'm actually tempted to go along to this. County could, probably, do with a win in this one - 3 points sees them break double figures and go 3 points behind Saturday's opposition. The slightly less bad Saints will probably be looking at this in a similar manner: a win would be most welcome and, indeed, helpful from their perspective. I expect McIntyre to go with the same team/squad that beat Kilmarnock. Brittain at right-back is a slight concern but he was steady enough at Rugby Park. Hopefully Jervis and Dingwall can build on their performances from that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy4life Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The exciting debut album as opposed to the disappointing follow-up (see: Strokes, The). I'm not having that. Granted it would have to be sensational to beat or even match the debut album 'Is This It?' but 'Room On Fire' is a quality follow-up. Anyway, on with the football talk...

Spain Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Same team that started against Kilmarnock, unless Jim decides to put Toshney in at RB, then it's Speed 2: Cruise Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Speed 2 is a terrible movie. O'Halloran up against Brittain could be fun. Brittain constantly within ear shot of Ghostie would also be fun. I'll not be making this game or the cup game the following week however as I will be in Mexico. Fingers crossed we can get a win or at the very least keep the unbeaten run going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 A lot of Saints fans are clearly still in a state of denial, talking about the cup match being the more important of the two. Letting County get to within three points of us would be a big concern as this, already, is the proverbial six-pointer. To give ourselves a nine point cushion would be significant and I'd take that over progress in the cup. Whether I'd have said that in the same position last season, I'm not sure. After the post-MacLean dip, our last three results have been better and the second half performances in the last two matches have been more like it but we've still not put 90 minutes together for a while, probably since the win at Rugby Park in the League Cup, which even in itself wasn't exactly pretty. You can't keep relying on the manager changing things at half-time to get a reaction and we need to start the game better. Defence picks itself but outside of Chris Millar, the midfield aren't making a consistent case for selection and you can't have much confidence in getting a performance from them.

bunglebonce Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 O'Halloran up against Brittain could be fun. As widely derided as Jim Fenlon was, I thought he had an ok game against St Johnstone. O'Halloran never got the beating of him on the outside - Fenlon had a good amount of pace when he knew how to use it. Brittain is a no-nonsense player by comparison when at right-back, but Chris Johnston had the beating of him a couple of times with quick feet. You can't keep relying on the manager changing things at half-time to get a reaction and we need to start the game better. County have opened the scoring in their last three away games and led at half-time in two of those. Profligate finishing against ICT and a ridiculous offside call against St Mirren account for the two draws, with the other being the recent 3-0 at Kilmarnock. We'll see if the trend continues.

CountyFan Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Sometimes the sequel is better. Bad Boys 2 springs to mind. Great movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saintee Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Looking forward to this double header. 3 points would be very welcome here. No way are we a top 6 team this year but we need to get as far away from the bottom 2 as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Sometimes the sequel is better. Bad Boys 2 springs to mind. Great movie. But 9 times out of 10 they're the Matrix Reloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackdaybob Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Gonna be up at home this weekend. I may just have to pop along. It'll be my first game in a long time. Nothing less than a win will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingdong1929 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I've seen all the matrix movies several times and I still have absolutely no idea what actually happens If you look at the trilogy as a whole - Basically, a lad is offered a couple of pills and he takes one. It's really good for about an hour and a half, then it all goes a bit shit for the last 3 hours. A story for it's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted it would have to be sensational to beat or even match the debut album 'Is This It?' but 'Room On Fire' is a quality follow-up. Fair point. I was disappointed by it but maybe I'm being too harsh. I'll put forward The Enemy as another example. I'll fight* anyone who says their second album was anything other than a massive disappointment that was mostly terrible. *"fight" may or may not happen.

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 What a depressing mess this is going to be. Probably be heavy fog and drizzle as well. 0-0 played out in front of 1,736. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had no reason to be disappointed as The Enemy are a uniformly dreadful outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
