Can anyone explain to my why the Livi first goal, straight after ht, WASN'T ruled out for offside on Obileye. Who literally had to jump over the shot before it went past Wickens. If he's not interfering with play, then why did he have to jump over the ball, thus clearly in the eyeline of the keeper. VAR paused the kick off after the goal to look at this but gave the goal, i can't understand why.

Well my money is going on a penalty to rangers, plus a red card for a County player. Do I put it on as a double or two singles though.

That new home strip looks a cracker tho doesn't it. It's no wonder the club shop have sold out and are waiting for more stock to come in.

Yup, no interest. Absolutely assume that even if County were to score VAR would invent a way to disallow it. Keep the score down, get out with no injuries and as few cards as we can from a biased ref, then onto the next match in Paisley next week. We've a wee run of games DU, Motherwell & Livi after St Mirren so coming away relatively unscathed is what I hope for out of this.

County smash & grab 0-1, Jordon White with a goal.

I've been told it was tactical and that he's fit to play this weekend, I'd start him against killie. I think we'll probably see White up front with Dhanda behind today. I've liked the look of Jordi but he's had very little to feed off, he could also be a good shout in the "10" role, as his workrate seems good.

Nail on the head right there. Whoever was match commander for that game needs punted. The policing was wholly inadequate and answers need to be gathered and lessons learned.

Agreed, he's not scored the goals that I maybe expected he to after what he did with Accies but imo he's been pivotal to all the hard work that the midfield 3 have done for us this season. Callachan and Tillson have been immense for us and I believe Callachan's central to the continuity/harmony of the squad too. I'm glad he's extended his stay, it can only mean we're tying up our important players.

Hungbo off injured is a nightmare for this match and going forward

Good to see Iacovitti back after his injury, it's a pretty familiar line-up/shape so hopefully County can kick off with the same good form they showed before the break.

He certainly does. Glad that we've been able to get what looks to be a dynamic/pacey right back to replace Clarke so quickly. Not sure if he'll go straight in for the home game against Motherwell on Tuesday but it'll be great to get back to the stadium, the atmosphere at viccy park has been so positive lately. Happy Birthday Hungbo, a winner on Tuesday would be nice.

Sounds like a decent first half anyway.

From my view of the first goal, from the ESE, Tillson had to move out to the left to help Ben Paton, who was getting doubled up on, Boyce was then passed on to Baldwin (maybe Iacovitti) who then gave him too much space.

Connor Randall hat-trick incoming.

Harry Clarke voted POTM Well deserved imo, he's settled in really well and looks like he'll be a big player for us.

I think that is correct now that it's been switched from Saturday to Sunday at 3pm.

I thought it was a shocking miss from White, with a free header whilst the scores were 0-0. Didn't even force a save ffs

What do you base that on? I've been to all of our matches so far this season, at no point have I seen County with a flat back four.

County are still a squad developing, it's been a huge squad turnover this summer and covid hasn't helped with the signing of new players. Basically, other than lining up in 352 this season, we're an unknown force, even to our own fans at the moment. Hopefully Jack and the Hibs squad have their attention on their european exploits and maybe County can get an away draw, 1-1.

Ah go'an share the rumours with us, it's not as if we'll tell anyone? It's monday morning, some exciting rumours could brighten up my shift at work.

Coming away from city life to the Highlands might be a good idea for him.

19 year old, attacking right sided midfielder Ciaran Dickson has been linked on a permanent deal, he's currently on trial with Burnley.

I thought he did pretty well defensively against Rooney yesterday he got in quite a few good tackles but again also thought he was disappointing going forward. It's unfair as he's never had a run of games as you say but on the field, he just looks like a sand-dancer with no end product, or product at all from what we've been shown. He just runs away from the goal, into trouble, can't seem to find a team-mate with the ball ever and takes the wrong option when presented with an opportunity to shoot.

He was absolutely gutted, I spoke to Southampton on Friday and he will be operated on Monday down there.” The article also states that there could be as many as 5 new signings in before the next match against Hibs, David Cancola and Harry Clarke being two of them.
