  1. The Second Division was great. Barrowman, Petrie, Shields, Higgins, and Gardyne as the forward options. Mark McCulloch being Mark McCulloch. Paul Lawson, Scott Boyd, and Gary Miller all making their first County appearances. Derek Adams starting his management career. Allan Creer too! I really hope The Caley get to experience the highs County did.
  2. Samuel played around 3 games worth of minutes in the league this season, with only one start. He's one of those players who appears to have improved every time he didn't play. It is very generous to suggest that him being on the bench on Saturday would have changed how Cowie set up against Hibs. Not going to disagree about Cowie having a raw deal (because the squad is mostly terrible) but, on the other hand, he's got more experience of this squad and time with them then Adams had. That's presumably why County signed him then. Easier to fit in with the rest of the team.
  3. There's only two actual first team players who have been loaned out, no? And one of them never played. He's worked with a lot of this team for months (some longer) and he was here under Adams too. He's hardly been parachuted into a squad he knows nothing about. Although, for balance, a lot of them aren't up to scratch regardless of when they arrived.
  4. First game in 4 years (almost exactly to the day). Not much has changed other than all the players and the management team. County looked a couple of yards slower than Hibs and there was no creativity or urgency. There's little quality in that team and most of them don't look cut out for this level.
  5. I have a good feeling about this game. Rangers 0-2 Ross County
  6. You've got to say fair play to Derek Adams. He's played the long game. Years of angling for a return to County only to finally come back and relegate us as revenge for his old man getting the bullet a decade ago.
  7. It's been several years (I'd say since sometime around 2016/2017) of three or four decent players surrounded by guys who shouldn't be playing above Scottish Championship or English seaside league level. The reaction to Samuel going out on loan is pretty damning and indicative of how poor things are - I'm sure he's a great guy but he's not cut out for the Premiership, yet people are gutted to see him go. Everything just seems so short-term and has done for years. Folk have suggested in the past that Mackay had a vision and a strategy but I don't buy it - signing players onto long-term contracts isn't a strategy when you don't have a clear vision on how you want to play or how you're going to fit them into a functioning team. I've not been to a game in almost 4 years now and there's nothing about this season that is enticing me back.
  8. Five albums I've quite enjoyed this year: Caroline Polachek - Desire, I Want To Turn Into You Young Fathers - Heavy, Heavy billy woods & Kenny Segal - Maps Joanna Sternberg - I've Got Me boygenius - the record Reckon Olivia Rodrigo's "vampire" has probably been my most played 2023 song on Spotify. A 100% certified fresh banger!
  9. It'll be nice to have the option to start going to games again. That said, now that I've put more time/money into other hobbies/interests, I can't see myself getting to as many games as I used to.
