There have been worse midfielders than Hetherstone since,but I do remember thinking at the time, his signing seeming like a comparative downgrade in quality of player. Never took to him personally,always thought he had a hint of tink about him(IMO),and he never lived up to the hype he'd received at Falkirk

Without looking,seems to be a lack of defenders.Irvine and or Inglis missing?
-
Only post match comments I can see - "I'm maybe guilty of making too many changes looking back now. "I thought the 3-4-1-2 we went to allowed us more possession of the ball and we got into good areas, but we didn't do enough with the ball and I've gambled too early with the shape because it left us more open on the counter attack."

Deek proving the doubters right....

Sitting off them...and goal.

Out - Away this w/e Assuming we don't game manage after scoring in the 15th min, I'll go for a 3 - 1 win Cosgrove x2, Ferguson. COYR

Got a good response from the travelling Dons,and a bit unlucky with that late header.Some bounce if it had gone in...bit of a damp squib in the end

Think Broons till staying as club 'ambassador'... -
Cormacks teeth fairly bedazzled Mcdermid outside before the game,and I thought there might be a bit more of a Cormack bounce inside from the players after the recent news :/ I don't think we played particularly badly,... just thought we were a bit ordinary,with some blunders thrown in,....the main one coming from Devlin,but with Logan contriving to do his best to match him. Missing that sitter cost us dearly.St J weren't that great either,but their wee winger 33,Kennedy? always looked capable of conjuring up some wee bit of majic. Needed a bit more inventiveness from ourselves around the box.Niall was putting in some decent balls,but maybe a bit more variety,ie a low ball across the goal,...or movement and one twos from the others.Seemed to be a lack of hunger for the winner til it was too late. Pass marks to McKenna,Leigh,and blunder aside,Devlin.Meh to the rest.Did Hedges touch the ball.Not seeing enough from him.

Just about to head off.Dont have a ticket but am sure I read somewhere that there will be cash turnstiles if tickets are unsold in the West and North stands(no option to buy tickets online at either club).Cant see anything online today to confirm,and both club offices closed.Anyone confirm? Usually is a cash gate....

Had a wee peak over the road. Pretty big if one let alone both issues are true,....but its the Hat rumour mill,so I wont hold my breath much as I want it to be true -

Thats what confused me about someone willing to invest.Why would you when youve got the Ugly sisters on the verge of strangling the Scottish game again.A cuddly wee 'Scaddish' team as a vanity investment would make the most sense... -
The furthest South weve been for Munros was Ben Cruachan near Dalmally(south of Oban).Its a very busy hill if you do it from the Weege side,but we decided to make it a bit more of an adventure and climb it from the North side in Glen Noe.Probably the nicest camp spot weve pitched at,and never met a soul in the 2 days we were there,til we got onto the hill summit ridge.further South than that I'd imagine youd be too close to Glasgow to get somewhere reasonablyremote. No idea what you'd need to do re building a cabin as far as permission goes,buy a plot first,do up an existing building shell,or chat up a farmer.? Or find a remote wood and chance yer luck Failing that,theres loads of remote bothies free to use,but its a lottery if you arrive with someone in it or not,though theyve usually got room for a fair number of folk https://www.mountainbothies.org.uk/ Heres Glen Noe from July IMG_8537 by , on Flickr And while I'm here,the latest hill last weekend was in the snow at Meall a Bhuiridh in Glencoe IMG-20191117-WA0013 by , on Flickr IMG-20191117-WA0025 (3) by , on Flickr No sun,but great conditions.A good hill for someone keen to get up in winter conditions since the start point is at Glencoe ski resort,where theres the option of a chairlift up and down up most of the way(£8 one way)

Cheers just googled it. I was late last time,and bombing about the the other side of the A9
-
Was meant to be on the hills this w/e,but forecast turning,so looking to head to this game instead.St J's off form at the moment,and if we continue where we left off at county,then a good chance of 3 points in the bag.St Mirren up after that,so a good chance to open up a gap before the cheats come to town In or Oot - In Furryboots - wherever theres a cash turnstyle,Ormond? Pre - Working Post - Driving Prediction - 1 - 3 Dons Cosgrove,McGinn,Main Ps,any recommendations for parking? Had a bit of a mare last time
-
I know,but with Aberdeen city at 230k,and if you include surrounding areas to give you around 450k population,then Countys proportion of crowds to population is still pretty impressive
-
A fine win.Never saw a stream but McGinn was in top form apparently,Considine also good.Downside was Bryson went off after 50 mins......turning out to be a new Paul Bernard Makes all the feeble results at the start of the season more frustrating 6500 crowd today (of which 2000 Dandies).Always amazes how many folks watch County,when the population of Dingwall is only 8000 or so
-
Now out for this one as am working am.Shame,usually a good day out.Looks like we've pretty much sold out our end though.Good effort
-
Should be up in Elgin this weekend,so will try and coax my armchair brother along to this.Dingwalls a couthy wee place,always one of the better away days. Hopefully stick with 2 up front,score a few goals and get the belief up a bit more .COYR

Im not sure anyone is suddenly oversinging McInnes praises again.I thought we were ok v Killie,without firing on all cylinders.Killie were poor. Agree v the Old firm,if were going to get beat 4 and 5 nil,why not a different approach.Though I'm not sure he knows how to be any different.Any high scoring sides we have had seem to have been more about the mindset of a group of players at that time,rather than tactical nous
