     ............. but we continue to wonder why we lose users on this forum? 

     

    Well I for one hardly post anything on here now for the pure reason unless it's to say everything is rosey at the TCS, I get slated and attacked. 

     

    This has reiterated why I don't bother and will avoid even more so

    I don’t think I’m the only one mate ,so please don’t despair on my behalf I’m ok thanks ?

    Haha that's the major downfall of this forum and why so many apart from the same tired old names appear on every thread, it's just a clique for happy clappers. Disagree or have an alternative opinion and your ostracised. Gotta agree with everything and stay in with the old whingers. Kingsmills as for you I don't care how courteous u think u are, your always quick to jump on anyone that has an alternate opinion to yours as wrong, maybe for once realise that others opinions are up for debate but are not always wrong because you don't agree.

    Your view of a footballer certainly differs from mine

    Polworth and White are very good footballers and the fact that teams like Motherwell are signing Polly is evidence to this.

    White has been top scorer with us and also been top scorer with other clubs he has been with, he also can link up play on the deck as well as be good in the air.

    i certainly would much rather Polworth was in the team than out of it.

    Can’t understand the criticism that Liam takes at times when he has been very good for the club. 

    If you truly believe polworth and white are very good footballers I despair really

  4. As much as it potentially a red, I'm actually excited now at the prospect of Robbo now having no choice but to start Macdonald on Friday. I know polworth has had his moments over the years, but the jury's still very much out as to his effectiveness pace passing and reading of the game. The short spells we've seen of Macdonald I think hes been superb and creates movements and injects a bit of pace into an otherwise static mf at times. This is our last chance and as much as we were very unlucky not to get a goal or 2 before DU on Tuesday we still don't have no route to goal on the ground and the only time we seem to threaten is with a set piece or a shot to nothing coming off. It's so unfortunate that as it stands we've lost what I have considered to be our best mf pairing over the season, Welsh and Walsh and still have no real goal threat. White as much as he got the 2 headers was very slow to react to movement from Doran but perhaps that's just his character not sure u can teach that, its a killer instinct. I'm really excited for tomorrow night and really think after Tuesday that we can steal something from this but it's going to mean more than our strikers getting on the end of the ball.

    Looking at the Dundee Utd squad they have pace on both wings which will cause us issues. I would start with Rooney at RB instead of Mckay. I would also say Robbo needs to use all three subs on Tuesday to keep legs fresh and not leave it till the last 10 mins

    Any news on Tremarco?

    I met Walsh at the TCS this morning off to see the physio, not hamstring he thinks but unlikely to start tomorrow if play at all. Tremarco was only other player there which tells me he's not ready and off to see physio too

     

    On that basis and after what I saw at the weekend I'm going for 

     

    Ridgers 

    Rooney McCart Donaldson Mchattie 

    Trafford Chalmers polworth  Macdonald

    Doran 

    Austin 

     

  6. It's all to do with doing the most to help the premiership team stay up, very unfair but then that's the SFA for you

    Next step the Ayrshire coast on Wednesday. Not easy but looking forward to a repeat of the Somerset Park conga and taking, at the very least, a draw into the second leg.

    First leg is on Tuesday

    County signed 10 players in the summer and another 5 in January.

    Thats why they won the league.

    Most of their players aren't good enough for the premier and will be freed over the summer...that's what a ruthless and rich chairman gets you. ( also helps to 'connect' with the community ).

    If it wasn't for the mediocrity of the challenge in the championship then County wouldn't have found it so easy.

    Expect their co-managers to get the sack in the next 12 months. 

    That's not their shadow,  it's just a passing cloud.

    Simply buying players dosent win you a title, buying the RIGHT players and training them accordingly does! 

    It was an easy league to win, but all the other teams are guilty of not giving county more competition not the other way around

  9. County deserved it this season, plain and simple, they battled for everything every game and even tonight they were 2 up 3 up.... Did they give up and defend and look forward to going on the **** later no they didn't they battles further and got another goal. An example of how to win a league. If we can't follow them up via they playoffs then it's game over for our club and you can red dot me all you want happy clappers but its now or never fight for the right to participate or bury the club in next few weeks, its as clear and simple as that and you all know its true

    Having read all the posts I can see a wide view span of opinions which is normal.

    My view is we were not great but their second goal was clear handball and should have been a foul and no goal.

    That leaves one goal between the teams , but the constant negativity of some fans berating the whole team or certain players is disappointing.

    We have reached the semi finals of the Scottish Cup, we are in the playoffs 6 games away from a return to The Premiership, Yet some people are spouting rubbish about us not turning up for games and never having a chance of beating Utd and Ayr , we have proved we can do this so why the negativity?

    We top the away league in The Championship but we have a poorer points total from our home games, Robbo tried to point out this earlier in the season too, but was berated by many on here.as he asked for same support at home as away.

    The point still stands we need to support our team at home like we do away. thats why I think the guys and girls that go to away games havs a far more balanced view of the team and appreciate the efforts made to get us to where we are, going into the last two games of the campaign.

    Cmon everyone lets drop the negativity and get behind the team as our support will be crucial in the playoffs.

     

     

    See I just don't understand the logic here with this argument.... The away fans usually consist of on average, say 100-200? Now a good portion of that is youngsters who see it as a day out, go for a few beforehand and are jolly and fired up. I'm all for them and think that they are brilliant at creating an atmosphere, however let's look at Sat or in fact any home game really where at least 1000-1500 people turn up and give their support even though results and performances have been lacklustre. To me that's a good backing. They may not cheer and sing throughout the game but on the whole they give the team a resounding chorus when we either score or create something that deserves a bit of accolade.... Now let's be honest there's been scant examples of either at home this season. Our style of football is what makes the fans stay largely quiet in my opinion, any other team in the league generally when given a chance surge through the middle of the park at pace and this gives their fans a sudden moment to get excited and cheer regardless of end result whereas our style of football means we watch he ball go back and forwards... sideways numerous times, passed around like a training exercise around the box until eventually its either snuffed out or someone fires it well over the stadium roof. So there's never really that sudden element of fast movement to get people excited and I think this is why we go so quiet, people almost go to sleep! They are watching and taking it in, but in a very subdued and docile manner. I've seen it numerous times when we do score after a period of this, that the celebration is somewhat delayed and quiet as if suddenly the home supporters have actually woken up. I definitely think if we played this style of quick attacking football on a regular basis the crowd would be more up for it from the start, however the biggest problem with that is as soon as we try to play that type of game we start losing goals as we switch off at the back!

    Well I must have missed that one as I have never seen Nathan Austin do anything brilliant!  He comes on runs about falls over gets hurt and creates nothing, today he missed a sitter and started shouting at Macdonald?

    Totally agree with u there pal, Austin is a total waste of a wage now. Needs punted ASAP

  12. I don't care about county "winning" today, they've won it anyway, there's no chance DU are making it up the GD now let alone winning every game. Best of luck to them in the spl, we must now forget everything else and win today to get us into 3rd and keep pushing to keep us there, at end of day we win today there's only 6 points between us and DU, why not push for 2nd too? Gives us 2 less games and a better chance of surviving the play offs. We've been guilty of not turning up at certain points in games or not at all, we must treat every game like a cup tie from here on in, the clubs future and the players careers depend on this now, time to truly stand up and be counted

    A bit harsh. He has had the odd promising spell but does lack consistency.

    Not harsh at all.... He offers nothing when he comes on, falls over more than a 2 legged donkey and wins nothing on the ground or in the air.

    It was always going to be a struggle against a top 6 SPL side and the difference in quality really showed. Hearts were more determined, more penetrating, more dynamic and always 1st to the 2nd ball. Our defending from set plays was dreadful and that's what cost us. Maybe would have been better with Donaldson playing but who knows. If we manage to get promoted then plenty of investment would be needed to stay up. And why oh why does robbo continue to bring on Austin? he was rubbish against county and he was rubbish today

    Austin is terrible, he offers nothing and needs punted

  15. One word for that.... Shambolic, and I don't mean the players I mean the ref. I'm not one to ever just point fingers at every ref but that was the most incompetent biased and downright laughable officiating I have ever witnessed. Anyway it is what it is nothing we can do about it now, but now with Trafford out and just about every one of the other 10 given a yellow card it's gonna be a difficult run in with our slim squad 

     

    Edit: we were also not in the mood either, and simply allowed county to get a foothold on the game that we couldn't recover from. We've got to be the laziest, disinterested squad in the Cship at times
