RiG Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Impressed that so many of our fans seem to think that the likes of Draper, Mckay and Tansey should have turned County down just because they (used to) play for ICT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't seem to remember too many County fans being seething about Don Cowie going over the bridge. On the other hand Steve Hislop got lots of grief but that was as much just how he acted (which was entertaining but definitely got folk mad). Maybe County fans were raging back then and I just missed it by not knowing about fan forums yet. Just how shit goes when one team in a rivalry does better than another but I suppose there's always got to be slatherers in a football fanbase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Westander of County Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 On 1/8/2018 at 16:12, bpdon said: Tansey hasn’t been even close to good for us anytime he has played - weak, clumsy, and ponderous mostly. He is also struggling with injuries so I am genuinely surprised this loan has gone through because it doesn’t seem like the type of signing County need. Way to encourage and lift our spirits, bpdon Tansey is also an East of Scotland farming name for Ragwort, a notifiable weed, fwiw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank22 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Wow it's quiet, I know there's still over two weeks to go but for a team languishing at the bottom of the table and in desperate need of defenders it's too quiet for my liking. Had anyone itk heard of any one up training with the squad even? What exactly is the issue between OC and O'Brien, does our best midfielder have a future or are we going to strengthen a rival again? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Considering other leagues aren't on a winter break, I'd be surprised if we signed a raft of players on loan or the like before the weekend. There's no incentive or rush for either party to get deals done until training on Tuesday. JOB won't play for County again by the sound of things, and it's not an issue between him and Coyle so there's no point blaming him for it. It's also quite concerning to think that a man who is incapable of tackling can be considered our best midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staggie52 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 According to Coyle’s interview in the P&J today , Tansey was his first target. It also appears from his comments that neither Tansey or Draper are fully fit, which might explain Drapers irregular appearances, but I’m not sure having somebody who isn’t fit as your first target is a great plan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He quite clearly has been our best midfielder though and his influence on those playing around him has been sorely missed imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has, but that says more about the squad than it does about JOB. This is comfortably the worst and most unbalanced squad we've had since the Jim Fenlon, Tim Dreesen etc. days. Granted they were considerably worse, but it's the worst we've had since then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank22 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Jim Fenlon What an absolute joke, in a way he has to be commended for somehow getting a professional footballing contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also quite concerning to think that a man who is incapable of tackling can be considered our best midfielder. Jim O'Brien never really merited a two-year deal. He added a real spark when he first signed, but he's been living off that reputation for a while. I'd go so far as to say County have never really replaced Lawson or Vigurs. The threaded through ball goal has all but disappeared for a while. I really hope Tansey can play a pass, because neither Draper or Chow is really that kind of player. Iain Vigurs is precisely the player this team needs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) I disagree, O'Brien was good for a two-year deal. I think he's well placed for being the more attacking of the midfield three. He can't tackle but he can press and cause a nuisance of himself, and his speed of thought is excellent. I think it's a shame he's due to be jettisoned, but as rumours go it's not Coyle's fault. Tansey does seem like a signing by the board rather than Coyle, but if Coyle suggests he was his first target then fair enough - it's clear to me that Tansey is an upgrade on Routis at the back of the midfield three, and it's been obvious from day 1 that Coyle prefers to have a playmaker there rather than a destroyer. The next few signings are key: centre-back, left-back, winger with pace, powerful centre-forward. Richard Wilson hypothesises signing targets by Coyle, but I imagine they're all free agents and he could have already tried for them. Having said that, David N'Gog is definitely the answer http://www.thefootballlife.co.uk/ Edited January 11, 2018 by bunglebonce 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he's consistent though. Very much enjoyed the kicking he took from Dundee fans pointing out that he couldn't be more wrong if he tried about theirs and that the players he rated are, to a man, the players the fans want rid of because they're pish.

The head blogger from that went off on a very long twitter rant on my timeline (for some reason) after I made a joke about a train delay in Partick, which he thought was about his website thing. There seems to be a few very highly strung Scottish football journalists. And it does need to be repeated; David N'Gog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
