JamieStevenson Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Looking forward to a decent first half and the collapse to follow in the second. A signing before the game would be nice. Not likely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 For any Dunfermline fan left reeling about Callum Morris heading north to Dingwall instead of returning to England as he indicated to the chairman: you might take some solace in Stelios Demetriou heading to Macclesfield, immediately after convincing Ross County to sign his release papers for nothing on the basis that he was to return to Cyprus with his fiancée.

Stellaboz Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Brian Pillman-esque.So... Ross County are actually secretly on board and expect to see him back there in the future? Unless Calum Morris turns up at his door with a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I want to see someone throwing a kid's toy wagon at one of Morris' pals, chucking another in to a paddling pool and slamming the head of another in a car door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 In all seriousness, County can be miffed at this but seems daft from them. Surely they have to have it in writing he won't be signing for another UK club, otherwise it's just the player's word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I can see Demetriou's logic: it's entirely plausible this his fiancee has moved back to Cyprus, and it'll be a lot easier for him if he's near a major airport with direct links to Cyprus (i.e., not Inverness). But I can understand Kettlewell's frustration that the player has said they're moving back to Cyprus only to sign for Macclesfield. From my understanding of gossip and rumours, County tend to be quite accommodating when it comes to off-the-pitch things like this - so taking Demetriou's word for it probably isn't that unusual. IIRC, De Leeuw was released because his wife/fiancee/girlfriend couldn't settle (then he rocked up in Bangkok rather than the Netherlands). And, again IIRC, the Kovacevic situation with his dad (and/or Eastern European gangsters in Inverness...) saw him released from his contract.

He ended up in Ayrshire instead, playing for league rivals. Footballers aren’t the most honest of people, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that sounds very, very implausible tbh but maybe I'm a cynic. I'd imagine he's getting a lot more money and wanted out of his contract quickly.

DA Baracus Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Anyway, what are we thinking for tomorrow in terms of line up? Anderson is seemingly a week or two away due to injury but will Blair feature? With Longridge, Ryan and Durnan and Martin still injured there's little scope for changes. Most likely it will be same starting XI as Morton, although he could change things up front. Smith and El Bak is a very powderpuff pairing, so he might bring in Hippolyte or even the much hated Muirhead. Can't see any changes in midfield unless he fancies giving Connolly a shot out left, but folk may implode with anger if that happens. Who knows, he might chuck Blair in? McManus, Spence and Armstrong with the goals in another 1-3 result. No idea who'll score for us. Maybe even County will do it for us again.

D.A.F.C Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Reckon we might actually get a result here. No reasoning other that we can’t keep playing well and not scoring. Hippo and Muirhead would be more powerful but reckon it will be Fais and Hippo. Smith is a sub at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After making every effort to get the pitch playable the game will be called either due to the police saying it's too icy around the ground or because of mist.

Hopefully the club do an early check since the Ross Co fans will be leaving early doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
