  1. Absolutely. I assume the management team will be analysing the lead up to the 2 penalties and free kick and trying to rectify those errors. By that I mean, for example, what happened to cause Kelly to react the way he did to the first penalty. Also, a critical examination of decision making up front.
  2. Yes KVV does blow hot and cold. There's no in-between. If he was hot every week he wouldn't be with us. If we've given Shields a 3 year deal we must have seen something in him.
  3. Pretty much my view. No point in getting steamed up about a poor performance. We all know where the weakness lies. It could easily have been 3 cheap goals but it wasn't. After a very poor start we limited the damage - no red cards or bad injuries, so overall job done. A bad day at the office and we move on. I would like to see Goss and Johansen get some gametime in a settled side.
  4. Damage limitation now. No red cards and no injuries please. Anything else is icing on the cake.
  5. If that is the case then the SFA/SPFL need to plug that loophole. Any player needing To go off with head knock should automatically sit out the next game.
  6. As Craig Halkett had to go off last weekend due to a head knock surely he can't play tomorrow in-line with protocols? Or was it just a wheeze to get a 4th sub on?
  7. Thanks. This is the first time I've seen this explanation simply set out clearly anywhere. One final question: What is the benefit of launching the app if you can just as easily download a digital certificate?
  8. I think it will depend on the length of time fans have to wait to get checked and going through turnstiles. Some entertainment venues are advising patrons to come 60-90 minutes beforehand. The launch does seem shambolic however, but time will tell. Launching an app on the Thursday before a weekend does seem like cutting it too fine, as Steelboy says.
  9. Is Clark in better form and playing more regularly than Liam Kelly? https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/7771971/rangers-jon-mclaughlin-scotland-zander-clark-farcical-snp-newlands/
  10. A thought provoking post on the SIWY Facebook page about yesterday's referee. In particular the comment about Stephen O'Donnell being pulled up for stealing yards at a throw in, and Ross County being awarded the throw in. In general, stealing yards is something that really bugs me. I'm not talking about the odd yard or two or measuring distances with a tape measure; but rather stealing 5 or 10 yards. Its years since I saw a player penalised, despite this happening frequently week in week out. In the course of a game the referee may occsionally speak to a player once and at random. Quite why the referee singled out O'Donnell yesterday, when there were worse offenders is totally beyond me. Another instance of inconsistency in refereeing.
  11. It really was a fantastic pass - credit where its due.
  12. Good post. I wouldn't be too hard on Woolery though. He was constantly closed down by 2 or 3 defenders and given little room or time. In fact County had done their homework and targeted Slattery, Woolery, Watt and Van Veen from the off, not being too particular how they did it. A lax, inconsistent referee helped them in that regard. Slattery took his goal well and was motoring until his yellow card and that took the edge off his game. I still feel though that the midfield balance isn't right and have concerns about O'Hara and Grimshaw. Hopefully Goss will get fit and show us what he can do. Yes, our full backs were very exposed and it wouldn't have mattered who was playing there - they would still have been on a hiding to nothing. To be fair we have still to field a settled back 4. I though Ojala played well, as did Slattery and the inspirational Watt. A good win in what was always going to be a tough game. County were energetic and closed us down very well but lacked a cutting edge and a bit of quality.
  13. A good win from a close fought game. Not our best peformance so far.
  14. One of County's easier games so far? We played well for the first 15 minutes but have been on the back foot ever since. That said, County have enjoyed a fair measure of good luck.
  15. Thanks. Its understandable that the inductees, so far tend to be from recent times but we really must recognise giants from our past - the Ferriers, McFadyens, Ellises, and Fergusons for example.
  16. Is there a list of all Hall of Fame players?
  17. Well deserved. Congratulations to the club ands those involved.
  18. Thats as close as you'll get to the media admitting it was offside. The BBC didn't even mention "claiming".
  19. Pretty much the same on BBC Allan. After the Louis Moult debacle I swore I'd never listen to Sportsound again but relented. After the Aberdeen game I was brassed off with their coverage of the Celtic Director of Football / Chief Executive borefest. I can happily live without ever listening to it again.
  20. A very good performance and result. We stood up to Rangers and stuck to our gameplan. An all round team performance but for me, Ojala, Slattery and Woolery stood out. If anything, we defended a bit narrowly at times but we got off with that and Woolery took his chance very well. He's starting to fins his feet and come onto a game. Referee was poor and I thought Rangers' goal was offside. Watt was also unlucky not to win a penalty but you don't get these decisions at Ibrox. Thought Van Veen didn't receive the benefit of the doubt at his yellow card. He may have slipped and certainly did not claim - certainly not beyond reasonable doubt; but he's a marked man already. Very rare to see 6 minutes + added on. Yes there was one goal, 6 subs and some injuries / time wasting but 6 minutes +? I can think of numerous other games in which stoppages were worse but nothing like 6 minutes added on - also very unusual to add on additional time to the additional time. We can take heart from this performance and hopefully continue to improve as the new players settle in and get to know each other. Hopefully Ojala, Solholm and Goss are ok. The team is becoming hard to beat, organised and clinical up front.
  21. For me, a toss up between Slattery and Woolery but opted for the latter. He was a real pest to Rangers.
