Efete in particular was playing quite far up the pitch. White actually looked pretty comfortable in that middle advanced midfield role, he uses his strength quite well, and has a lovely knack of turning without touching the ball and going with it. I'm generally not a massive JW fan, but he did well there.

Technically, you braid rope, rather than weave it.

Very hard to hear anything other than "I'm gone tomorrow" from that interview. Whether it's Adams' own choice to leave, or he anticipates getting sacked, who knows, but it's not the words of someone fighting for their job.

1. It absolutely was right to get shot of Malky. His time was up, and we were going nowhere 2. Derek actually seemed like a reasonable shout at the time, plenty of experience, knew the club, hope that some of the rough edges polished off 3. First three games actually went OK, with a January window to rebuild. 4. Lost the plot in post match interview and pretty much spiralled from there. I really wanted this to work. It really hasn't.

I'm still annoyed at Efete ignoring the ref and moving his throw even further up the pitch, which got penalised and effectively wasted the last 3-4 mins.

I hoped the same. Tough to step up after zero game time for weeks, but didn't see much today I'm afraid.

I don't see Loturi contribution further up the field as particularly great either I'm afraid. I think we've got better options.

Lack of defensive work? Are you kidding? For a wee skillful guy, he's regularly tracking back and putting it about with guys twice his size. Clearly not been watching him play.

Ah, right enough, that takes me back. To paraphrase the words of Maximus, "There was once a dream that was free flowing Ross County full width football . You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... it was so fragile." Or something like that.

He came on with ten minutes to go, I don't think that's really enough time to make a definitive call

Sproule back in 2013? In my head I've got recollection of lopsided formation with Ivan as winger on one side with Oikonomou as rampaging fullback on the other?

I am also all for a thread with more football and less Douglas Ross, so we're aligned there. Onwards to speculation over the glories or horrors that await us under the third Adams era.

Aye Staggie52, it's an interesting area, and gets fuzzier of the full scope of hate incident legislation is enacted, where it's the perception of motivation that matters. But yes, def take the point that politics per se are not a PC.

No fan of the Tories in general or Ross in particular, but this isn't about your personal view of him (reasons to hate him etc), it's about abuse. You've said (and doubled down) on the legitimacy of abusing someone in a public place because you don't like their politics, but at the same time you've taken a moral stance on the basis of someone else's abuse of a different type. Does PtJs moderate highlighting of that discrepancy really merit that level of response (Dumb as hell/utterly disingenuous etc)?

Religion and belief is though, which includes philosophical beliefs.
