That's interesting - I wonder if that's where the idea came from. For me, PAOK's goal should never have stood either.

Why is he there? If Kingsley can hit the free kicks we know he can, and you say Shankland being there makes no difference, then why the hell would you put Shankland there? He didn't end up in that position by accident - it was clearly a plan. And that clear intent makes it easy for the officials to say he was interfering with play. The 'behind a wall' defence is nonsense - he's in the way *after* the ball goes past the wall. We all know that's why he's there in the first place. Tried to get clever, got caught.

Why is he checking where the keeper is if he isn't trying to influence the play?

Shankland clearly checks to see where Wickens is. He's trying to influence the game from an offside position. If he wasn't, what the hell is he doing there?

Sorry to have to say that all Don Cowie seems to have learnt from 2 years as MacKay's assistant is to keep trying the same hoofball shite. Got lucky at the end because there are 2 decent footballers in the team. It's going nowhere. They might survive another playoff but that just wins us another year that will again be brutally painful to watch.

Even Stephen Kelly in his BBC ratings prime wasn't as good as Eli King today

BBC Scotland.... 'countless 23 shots'

Oh well, seems he's gone.

Some will relish that challenge, some will hate him. That's why the Derek Adams way won't work until he finds the players who respond well. You can't judge him in 2-3 months. Maybe the players who don't like it are the problem. Brittain, Vigurs, Boyd, Gardyne, Lawson, Kettlewell, etc played their best football under Derek Adams.

Those have always been his man management skills. Beating Celtic at Hampden and the invincible run were with those man management 'skills'. It's always been his way. He just needs to bring together players who respond to it.

Am I the only County fan still backing Adams? His record at the club surely earns more than 2-3 months. And if it takes too long to turn things round this season, who would be better to win promotion next season. Tonight was an absolute shambles yes. He clearly hasn't figured out the answers yet. But he has always been a streaky manager - takes a while to turn things round but when it clicks, it really does.

All about opinions I guess, but I'd have Songo'o before any of our centre backs. Does 'athlete but miles off it technically' not remind you of any of our current forwards? It's subjective of course, could make arguments either way, but there's no huge gulf. Without Dhanda this County team would be struggling horribly. The team with Slew and Songo'o didn't.

Maybe with Dhanda playing. Without him, could go either way. We've seen Songo'o, Slew, and Melbourne. Are they really miles below Leak, White, and Purrington?

Only a matter of time before Yann Songo'o appears. Has a manager ever signed the same player 6 times?

"Endeth the engagement" Again, any sane reading of my posts would see that I question whether players (including Baldwin) on long-term contracts have really earned them. And that it seemed like the manager would be happy to let some of them go. If they now start performing - great of course we don't want rid. But if we're honest very few of us would have been bothered if lots of them had been out of contract in the summer.
