The commentators were cringeworthy. Liked the bit where their boy clattered into Brill and they accused Brill of playacting and causing the injury himself!! Would've taken a point before the match, but really disappointed we didn't take all 3 in the end. Still, a nice run of games coming up now, so let's hope we can build on our excellent start.

Easy!!

Anyone PM me a link for the match?

Fantastic first half. Some of our attacking football was a joy to watch. We cut them apart time after time, and if we'd been a bit more clinical, we could've had a couple more before half time. Second half was dull by comparison, as they came into it, but never threatened. Superb start to the season, I'd be more than delighted with a point next week. As good as Foran was yesterday, I'd have given my MOTM to Warren. He was immense, especially in the second half.

MOTM by a mile today. Fantastic performance from him.

1..Abertillery, South Wales 2..South Wales, then London. 3..from 2000 when I moved up here. 4..Drumnadrochit.

http://sport.stv.tv/football/225221-out-of-contract-star-iain-vigurs-would-love-to-stay-at-ross-county/ I see Vigurs doesn't seem so keen to help us out ha ha.

Shinnie is a great left back..my MOTM by a mile on Sat. But he's hopeless when used as a midfielder. So, no, I hope he doesnt get pushed forward into that role.

We seem to freeze on the big occasions..felt like the semi final all over again. I've got a bad feeling we're going to have to rely on Motherwell doing us a favour as I'm not sure we'll get the win up there next week. So many wasted chances, shooting opportunities not taken, and poor crosses into the box. Said it last week, but I'll say it again..Doran was mince! I really wont lose any sleep if he doesnt sign a new contract. Ross had a bright first half, but disappeared in the second. Both Shinnies were fantastic, Graeme was my MOTM. If we get a penalty next week who's going to take it??

Wonderfully entertaining game, between two attacking teams. at 3-0 we should've buried it as we had a few chances for a 4th, but we let them back into it. The sending off really changed the game, and you'd have thought we'd won the league when Billy slotted in the winner. As dull as games against St. J are, games against Motherwell always seem to be great entertainment. I know I'll get my head bit off here but just a few points. When has Billy ever scored when through one on one with a keeper?? He seems to turn into the proverbial rabbit in the headlights and always ends up fluffing it. He should get down the park with his mates during the summer and practice...and practice more!! In saying that, as long as he keeps scoring it doesnt matter how he puts them away. Doran...never been sure about him. He gets himself into good positions but his crossing is really terrible at times. Also, I'm not sure where the Hogg love in has come from, but I thought he looked really suspect yesterday. Fair enough, he's been out a long time, but he was like this before he got injured. He has a few major errors in him every game, which usually end up costing us. He got himself the wrong side of their player for the penalty, and whether he dived or not, Hogg shouldn't have let him into that position. He sloppily gave the ball away a few times after that as well, which nearly proved costly. A bit harsh maybe, but I've never been overly impressed with him, even when he was at Hibs. Anyway, that win sets us up nicely for next week, and hopefully we'll clinch that European spot before we head to Dingwall.

They should ban games between us and them. They're always snorefests, and completely devoid of any excitement. Rubbish game, rubbish result, and it looks like we're doing our best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the final run in.

As someone who stood on the picket lines in 84 in South Wales, my father/grandfather were miners, all I can say is I've been waiting for this event for many years. And yes, I did have a few beers to celebrate. And yes, I will be having a few more next Weds when they finally get shot of the old witch. All this historical revisionism about her 'achievements' is nauseating. This is the same woman who called hard working folk 'the enemy within', the same folk who stood up and defended their communities. The same woman who sat and drank tea with Pinochet, called Mandela a terrorist, supported Saddam's regime, gloated over the deaths of IRA prisoners, supported the US's funding of terrorist organisations in Central America...hmmm, such a strong woman though! There'll be few tears in South Wales, and yep, a lot of celebrating. People will never forget her personal hatred, and personal destruction of our communities.

Gary Warren.

Couldn't see it clearly...but a definite pen.

As said, a really entertaining game I thought, with some good football being played by both teams. First half I thought we were slightly the better, but didn't create any clear cut chances. Nor did they. They came into it more in the second half, and Daly had a clear header to put them ahead..but missed. Shinnie had a similar chance at the other end. That was it really in terms of clear cut chances. Devine made two outstanding challenges, and was a well deserved MOTM. Meekings wasn't far behind. I have to give credit where it's due as well...I thought Willo Flood was outstanding. Everything comes through him, he breaks up play brilliantly, and his passing was near enough perfect all night.

Thank god we don't have fans that behave like this! Skip to about 1.58.

To e honest, as bad as we played, we should've still won that comfortably. McKays one on one in the first half, him and Foran having decent headed chances as well. I'm just going to assume Billy didnt want to score yesterday as that miss in extra time was one of the worst I've ever seen. All he had to do was stroke it into the net first time. It was wide open for him! Quite unbelieveable. As for Roberts penalty...oh dear. At the end of the day we chose yesterday, of all days, to have an off day, against what for me, is one of the worst Hearts teams I can remember seeing.

I too thought the occasion got to us, and we froze on the day. We seemed lethargic, off the pace, and second to most balls. Instead of our usual rapid counter attacking style we've become used to we struggled to move the ball forward with any pace and consequently resorted to just lumping it up to McKay...which was painful to watch.

I notice someone mentioning this briefly in the matchday thread, but just wondered if anyone knew what the rules on this are? To me, and my two mates, Ngoo should've been sent off long before the end yesterday as the number of free kicks he conceded must've been close to half the total given yesterday! Everytime he got pulled up again I fully expected the ref to pull out a second yellow and make him walk. Pretty much all the fouls given against him were for the similar offences...backing in, elbows, climbing etc. Now up until his wee spat with Warren he'd already been penalised a load of times, and he'd have surely got booked for persistent fouling sooner rather than later. After the spat...he continued doing the same thing. He must've given away at least 10 fouls AFTER the booking, Any amateur refs know the score on this?

I'll be driving up from South Wales early Saturday morning. Happy to pick you up on the way. Only trouble is I''ll be driving back up to Inverness after the game so it' s only one way sorry. I'malso relying on there being tickets on sale on the day.

Anyone know if tickets will be available on the day? Due to a family illness, I' m not going to be able to make a decision on whether I can go til the day itself.

Brilliant news. Never doubted he would leave us, as i posted earlier in the thread!!! Phew.

Just politeness on his part! That's the nice guy Terry is.

He could, potentially take us to 2 cup finals and Europe, so he' s taken us nowhere near to how far he could. plenty of unfinished business here, and I think it.'ll take a far bigger club than Barnsley to tempt him from an area he clearly loves.

Who would possibly want to leave the beauty of Abriachan for....Barnsley???? Fully confidant he' 'll stay.
