....ah but Aberdeen might win by a short head

Tichy Black's Back HT: 1-0 FT: 3-1 1st ICT: A. Shinnie 1st Opp: Russell Crowd: 2,684 Cal's Thistle HT: 1-0 FT: 2-1 1st ICT: Mckay 1st Opp: Daly Crowd: 2,816

A 2 year contract offer would be a suitable reward. Would like to see the current back four all signed up as it will allow us to build on current team and grow as a defensive unit.

Very encouraging result on Saturday especially taking into account our SPL record against Hearts. We are back in pole position and all we now need to do is ensure we stay there ;-) I suspect with County's current form and charge up the table there will be a few more through the gates at both grounds for the upcoming games. Win win for both clubs and hopefully there will be a decent attendance for the home game against Utd midweek which now takes on a new level of importance as a win will set us up nicely for the home stretch.

Good stuff - cracking save from Esson.

BACK ON TRACK :-))))

Yip yip yip - 3pts at last and back up to 2nd

Shane, Shane, Shane....

I think we may need 4 ;-)

"pop" :-))

Pressure building

a) That's the buck b) I can see the 'in her own right' wikipedia reference but Fergie was also 'Duchess of Inverness in her own right' if I recall correctly while she was still slurping at the big table....maybe you can prove me wrong.... c) The Duke of Gordon? Go on tell me why?

Dumbarton home @ 2.87 - ta

To boo or not to boo that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous football Or to take arms against a sea of defeats. Or as Brian once said: When you are feeling in the dumps Don't be silly chumps Just purse your lips and whistle 'Always look on the bright side of life' 'Always look on the light side of life' ....cue the titles Now there's a tune for the next home game ;-)

Here goes - 1b 2c 3a 4b 5c 6a 7b 8a 9b 10a - I expect 3 or 4 out of 10 :-))

Andy thingymabob? His ex-wife? Fergie? No idea - didn't even know there was such a position up for grabs.

I do wonder about the substitutions being used at times as injuries aside they do seem to be fairly predictable with no real impact. Maybe the stats will prove me wrong but if you have players on the bench such as Pepper and Polworth that are deemed good enough to be there then why aren't they being used more often especially if it means changing the shape when trying to get something out of a game. Would be interested to see this seasons stats to date to see who are making the most substitution appearances and who are the players that get withdrawn the most.

We could indeed do with a Klose or a Podolski at the moment ;-)

Unfortunately we probably will have to - hopefully at home though ;-)

Well at least you got the 3-0 right ;-)

There are eight games to go until the split: Motherwell (A) 3-0 (L) - 3rd Hearts (A) 2-3 (W) - 2nd Dundee Utd (H) - 0-0 (D) - 3rd Ross County (A) - 0-0 (D) - 3rd Dundee (A) 1-1 (D) - 4th Ross County (H) 2-1 (W) - 3rd Hibs (A) 1-2 (W) - 3rd St. Johnstone (H) It consists of five (5) away games and three (3) home games so Terry won't have too many games to worry about the size of crowds much over that period It is all pretty tight with nine points between 2nd and 11th and only five points between 2nd and 7th. Even though we have had what seems like a really good season so far (look at the teams still below us) there is only a difference of two wins between ourselves and County and we still have to play them twice.... 2nd - ICT - P25 - W9 D11 L5 - 38 PTS (GD +9) 9th - RC - P25 - W7 D11 L7 - 32 PTS (GD -3) The players (and the management) though need to keep it going for (at least) those next eight games to ensure that this does turn out to be our best SPL season ever. I am not sure whether we will still be in 2nd place come the split but I believe we will get a top 6 place. With what appears to be increasing negativity within a number of posts recently how do others really think the team will do?

Dumbarton Away @ 3.75 - ta

Disappointed but hey it is another point in the right direction. Someone is going to get a battering some time soon I just feel it. 8 games to go and all to play for. I tell you what I would far prefer to be in our position today than any of the 10 teams below us.

Good stuff - that's 50 SPL goals this season :-)
