  1. I’ll go for that, don’t even need to play the game. Save Queens fans travelling for the ridiculous kick off, and they could just present us the trophy on TV making sure it’s done before “The Nine” starts (‘cos let’s face it we know it’s getting cut short)
  2. Today's game was always going to be hard No complaints from the defence, we were only beaten by a very good free kick Midfield were strong albeit pressed back quite a bit and unable get forward very often Up front is the issue - Curran did a power of running and kept on top of Brown when defending set pieces - but he struggles for pace so gets very little opportunities on goal Schalk has the pace but rarely hits the target with his shots Mikklesen is actually shorter when he jumps than he is when just standing so useless in the air And we've not seen much of McKay to make judgement So yes we do need to address this We didn't see it today simply because it was Celtic we played, but of late the midfield have been supporting the forwards a lot more, Motherwell first half was brilliant.
  3. I'd hazard a guess around 250 or so. With it being a different from usual ground a few more might make the effort
  4. I was out in Dubrovnik at the start of June, and took a day trip to Cavtat First off Cavtat is about 10 minutes from the Airport so that's a plus, the downside is it's also directly under the flight path - so you'll see quite a number of planes especially on a Thursday which seems to be the busy day. Cavtat is a quiet small place split over two bays, small harbour for smaller type boats in one, and a larger harbour for some quite expensive looking yachts in the other. Plenty of water sports equipment hire around the headland between the two bays - and with crystal clear (albeit very salty) water it's perfect for water sports It's about 20 minutes from Dubrovnik by bus (use No 10 bus from bus station at smaller harbour) it goes to Dubrovnik bus terminal but drops off at Dubrovnik old town - but Dubrovnik is a one way system near the old town so it's a different bus stop for the return journey - difficult to explain where the stop is so best to ask when there. Croatia isn't cheap like the rest of Eastern Europe - prices are much about the same as here. But inside the walls of the old town you can double the price of everything - typical tourist trap If you're interested in excursions, the three most popular which seem to run from Dubrovnik (possibly Cavtat hotel pick up too) is Three islands tour- I never did this as I had just come off a cruise and had enough of boats, but it's an all day boat trip to the three main islands around Dubrovnik. Depending which company you go with you'll get different experience. Some do quiet boats with a walk on each island and a fish style meal en route. others do more party style boats with more alcohol than food en route - so choice is yours. Kotor (Montenegro) tour - Again I never did this as I was already in Kotor on the cruise, but if the bus journey is anything like the boat trip into Kotor it is fantastic Easily the most beautiful scenery I've seen. Beat Switzerland, Iceland and the North West Highlands of Scotland Mostar (Bosnia) tour- This is one trip we did do. There was two options when booking either just Mostar or Mostar and the Kervice waterfalls. We did the latter which meant it was a busy day. Only got 1 hour at the waterfalls (could have done with a bit longer) as there is about a 15 minute walk down to them. But they are stunning Mostar is about another hour away, it's heaving though around the bridge area. Everyone goes to see the bridge and it is the only way to cross from the Christian side to Muslim side of the town. You don't need to exchange currency as they will accept Croatian Kuna but they call the exchange rate. But it will still be considerably cheaper than Croatia. Only issue with Bosnia was the boarder crossings. Ours took about 35 minutes both ways (our tour used a back road crossing, so we're in a mini bus) but others saying the big coaches use the main highway crossings as can take up to 2-3 hours on busy days. Dubrovnik area is lovely, you'll have a great time
  5. Could Klok not do the 'Lawson role'? And then allow Brittain the same role as he did last year! I think Klok will only be used as a bit part player this year though given he's a youngster, but you never know.
  6. The Lion added me too, after I liked a post on his page! which was an added bonus as he frequently posts pictures of his 'Lioness'
  7. I hope you're right. But in order for it to continue someone else will have to take over the running and financial costs of running the forum. The last few seasons have been the best in the clubs history, yet it has probably been the worst in the forums history for whining, bitching and generally childness! I've been a moderator ont he site for around 12 years, and lately the number of reported posts etc we get every night is rediculous, and for petty things. I think it's fair to say that Adrian (who owns and finances the forum) along with myself (as a moderator) have pretty much had enough and no longer have the will or time to help run the site. With the invent of facebook and twitter, most rumours and stories tend to be discussed on there now, where you can block or chose not to follow some people. Will be sad to see it go as it's been a big part of my football experience over the years, hopefully someone else has the time and will to take it on.
  8. I see that Roy MacGregor was saying on Radio Scotland tonight that County are in talks with Derek Adams about extending his contract. He's already got 15 months or so of his contract to go, but would be good to get him tied down for another year or so
  9. Personally I'd give the PotY to Vigurs simply because he's been the most consistent throughout the whole season. I would give Richard Brittain a services to County award. He has been a great captain for County!
  10. Mentioned at fans forum tonight that the club will completely renew the pitch in the summer, at present it is a 50/50 sand/soil mix which isn't working. They will go for all sand sub-surface to help drainage
  11. He has already had a work permit, for the UK from a couple of years ago when he almost signed for Crystal Palace. They felt that it was just a case of it being renewed. I'm under the impression that he returned to Cananda last week to get it sorted from that end....
  12. I think he's in the pissed off category as he was talking to Malin about 'flights to Siberia'. Its a good thing that he's annoyed, means he'll be trying his best to get back into the starting line-up. I'd be more worried if he wasn't annoyed about not playing
  13. In a weird way I am happy it's ended. As you say every week pre-match reports were about the unbeaten run, and can we extend it.. So with it now gone, hopefully some of the pressure of being unbeaten has gone. It was getting to a stage that every team were lining up to be the ones to knock us down. Next week sees the start of a new run though!
  14. Not quite, just the fact we have a ticket scramble in that we have more season ticket holders than tickets available for this game - hence the tickets rush tomorrow! Maybe Caley could give us the stands behind both goals..... I'm sure we'll fill the north stand more than the Caley fans will!
