I would like to see us called Premiership regulars and twice winners of the Scottish Cup.

Toddy has had his case dismissed. https://ictfc.com/nikolay-cleared

Yes, they're in the central belt, midway between Glasgow and Edinburgh...near Larbert.

The fact that Davidson has to go on some course suggests that there were racial undertones to whatever charge he faced yet the number of games he has been banned for seems light for such a charge.

I think wee Gardyne is a super player but he's in the wrong age bracket. Drapes and Billy did great jobs for us but I think we had their best days.

Nothing on the SFA site yet. Just in - according to Raith’s site, 4 game ban (2 suspended) and has to go on a FIFA course before being able to play again.

Very harsh words indeed. Ross Draper was a very good servant to our club over many years for whom many of us still have very fond memories.

Totally agree. Glad to see a lot of County fans calling them out re this. The ones trying to justify it should be ashamed.

It's a shocking appointment from Ross County who only a few days ago were preaching their usual birthday card pish about wanting to discover they are and how they are a valued community club. Then they go and appoint a guy who sent racist, sexist and homophobic messages and tried to dismiss it as "friendly text message banter" before ultimately having to apologise "for any offence caused". What on earth is MacGregor thinking?

Got to laugh though!

I see Billy McKay has NOT been offered a new contract thro in Dungwall. He is now 32. He had a strike rate of 1 goal in every 3 games for County. Would he be worth a punt in The Chamionship next season?

I am glad he has been cleared but it is shocking the length of time they took with the case!

Draper is 33 in October and a lot of County fans say he just hasn’t got the legs, and I don’t mean how bandy they are. Gardyne is already 35 and apart from County fans saying he’s done, it would be like County signing Tokely. Nope. Billy might just do a season’s job to get us up, if we can’t hold on to Toddy but it’s a gamble and as Kingsmills said, he’d have to fit our wage structure.

I agree. We should bring our youngsters through rather than looking at Gardyne. It didn’t work when Mckay came back in our relegation season so I’d avoid him too. As for Draper, I agree with Kingsmills. However, he didn’t have that much game time last season and we are well covered in central midfield with Welsh. Carson and Allardice all under contract.

Good that justice has been seen to have been done. Any word on a penalty for Raith Rovers’ Davidson who’s case was delayed? Hopefully we get more good news about Toddy soon: that he has signed a new contract.

Judging by the players who the press have said are being released, and doubtless more to follow , it looks like Uncle Roy will be putting his hand deep into his big pockets to bankroll Malkys new team... ...if the fans don't turn up with the torches and pitchforks to run him out of town in the next week or so. Loving it.😁

Gardyne? No thanks

Rotherham rumours for Liam. Will listen to podcast when cutting grass a tweekend.

It took about 10 minutes to pull together whilst I was eating my Coco Pops.

These are the sides we have faced in recent years with ties against Raith Rovers and Cowdenbeath being a recurring feature it seems. Not sure what sides are in what half of the draw but hopefully a little variety at the very least would be good. ETA: The "North" Group 1 seeds are Livingston, Dundee United, Ross County and Hearts so we will get one of them. The other "North" Group 2 seeds, of which we are one, are Dundee, Raith Rovers, and Arbroath so we won't be drawn against any of those sides.

We need all the paying fans we can get!
