Extremely disappointing result although it was an improvement on the first derby of the season. That was some free kick that smacked the bar. It went like a ferkin rocket, but the County guys were quicker to react to the rebound. Second goal was a neat one as well, although the free kick which preceded it was rather dubious. Contrary to most on here, I thought we contributed to the pulsating match, with some exceptions. Sanchez was not going to get any time today, Bulvitis was lost and Dougie Imrie was just rubbish. What is it with this guy. We clawed our way back into the game as County closed ranks and they tried to counter us. Rooney had enough presence to knock in the rebound, but not enough presence to hit the penalty to the other side of McGoverns ears. We did create a hatful of opportunities. Two headers and a charged down shot in the first half. Hayes was super when he came on, tearing them a new one, but nobody took advantage of his pace. One brilliant run ended when the cross was superbly blocked in the six yard box as Rooney (i think) looked favourite to score. Eric missed what looked like a simple header, he appeared to have time to bring the ball down, and that was it, game over. County had a goal chalked off for something at the far end. We certainly made them work much harder, but as I expected, their defence were a much more difficult nut to crack than Ayr or Mortons.
We could have sneaked a draw at best, but we fell just short of acheiving that. Enjoyable day out, marred only by the result and the difficulty getting served in the National....and the time it took to get out of Dingwall..... And by someone throwing items on the pitck. Was the last item something like a German sausage thingy. How odd.
