Cheers.

Meant to ask, is this the Carson from ICT?

This pretty much sums up my feelings ahead of this one. I'm still buzzing from the rangers result, but a defeat here could undo all that hard work. We were pretty pish in the last game at TMA but still found ourselves 2-1 up in the 90th minute. I'm hoping that however we do it - doesn't need to be pretty - we get the win that builds on the momentum from Sunday and carry that into the last 4 games. As stated on the County thread, massive game.

I see Ross Callachan is back in training. I've not been his biggest fan since he joined but nevertheless its good to see him back and hopefully with his injury problems behind him.

I was at one of David Winters hat-tricks against Raith at Starks Park, can't remember when it was but we won 7-1. One of my favourite games watching County. Want to say around mid 2000's.

Who would have thought Tuesday nights in Dingwall are absolutely mental.

Ross Shire Buff. There's a name I never thought I'd hear uttered again.

Don't think McTominay played either.

County to scrape a completely undeserved 0-1 victory and John Barnes to lose his shit again, would be beautiful.

County were worth a point, so it's disappointing to lose. Not much between the sides. Aberdeen fans I bumped into last night were decent chat, was a good day despite the result.

Thanks again lads.

Thanks mate Seen somewhere that some of the pubs closer to the ground are home fans only - that still the case?

Best place to drink before/after the game? Will be in Aberdeen about lunchtime and don't catch the train until 8 afterwards.

In my experience, this seems to be a bigger issue for your fans than ours. Brittain would have strolled into your team swirling a kane, and you know it. Absolutely. Maybe the fact we never play ICT so much these days has blurred the lines, but f**k them both.

I await the vitriol

Nice to see former Dingwall Academy pupil Jake Henry getting a debut try in what was one of the few positives for Edinburgh over in SA. Although the U20s have struggled over the last few years, we really could do with a handful from each year making the step up for the pro teams, and on to the national stage. I'd say this is a pretty important period for Scottish rugby - it's as good a team as we've had in a long time, Edinburgh & Glasgow in particular are doing alright but there's a clear mental barrier stopping us from becoming a top, top side. Scotland should have put 50 on Wales and Italy, beat France and went into the game against Ireland with a shot at the grand slam. Instead, we won 2 from 5 and another campaign has just petered out.

His feet work 2oo times quicker than his brain. Player in there somewhere, but yet to see it.

Unless it's a 4312 with Sims behind Brophy and Murray? As mentioned above, hopefully Randall gives a bit of desperately needed fight in midfield. Glad to see Khela getting a start, he at least looked to be positive when he came on at Easter Road.

It's Scott Allardice that is badly missed.

Despite playing with 2 strikers, we definitely were set up to defend rather than attack. The midfield was really unbalanced - I'm assuming Litouri is in the team as a holding player, and if that's his role then fine, but I can't remember the last time he played a forward pass. We needed someone getting forward from midfield to support White and Brophy, but neither Sheaf nor King offered much attacking threat. Khela made a bit of a difference when he came on, but too little too late. It's not a pop shot at Brown/Reid here, both worked hard but we rarely seen them beyond the half way line. They've probably been told to hold their position, which makes life even harder for the front 2 to make anything from the scraps they got. Pish game all round between 2 pish teams.

Evening Hibees. Quick question, is there a cash gate on Saturday? Thanks in advance

This ref is absolute dugshite

I mean, technically they'd be right. 'Girls like Simon Murray' would hopefully be a good omen.

At Ibrox, that is wasted money my friend. Edit - County will be lucky to get a free kick the night.

Just relegate us now.
