Easy win.

 

Nice touch from Hughes. Trying to strangle the Hearts kids before the game. Very funny.

Watkins takes a dive in the box. Lucky not to get booked.

Tremarco likes a yellow card...

Well apart from Dorans attempt, that was dire viewing. 

Let's see how the half time pep talk goes

goal: Billy Mckay :)

Nice

Tremarco, Foran and Draper all picked up bookings so far

2-0 Billy Mckay

Nice once more

looks like county at it again robbo on oam saying that the official attendance is nearly 3,000 but robbo says he would be surprised if there was not even 2000 in the ground

looks like county at it again

 

I thought you were referring to them losing!

464 minutes since we last conceded

Good result ahead of a big test next weekend!

Excellent result    and especially 50 more points for me in the Prediciton League    

A good win and 15pts ahead of 7th place ;-)

On paper that was one of the easier or more expected wins of our season, but still, the players have still got to go out there and win it, which they did. Nice one.

 

Top 5 all won today so it was important that we did.

Yep, unbeaten in 7 games and an ICT record equalling 5 consecutive clean sheets. 

2nd half bit better than 1st obviously. 2 well taken goals by Mckay. How Watkins never got a penalty just before the 2nd goal is beyond me. It was a tackle that would have been applauded at Murrayfield. Maybe the ref was remembering his dive in 1st half.  I won't be watching the 1st half on Alba, it was just so bad.  Watching Hull game hoping for a draw for a coupon to come in!!

Be a happy squad in Dublin tonight then

A good win in difficult conditions. Watkins was excellent today I thought with a solid performance from tremarco. McKay though did what he does best. 3 points and another clean sheet. What a great team.

1st half was terrible.  I thought we looked mildly dangerous on the few occasions we got he ball down.  Lovely shot by Doran, and I'd be keen to see Shinnie's effort again - thought he could have laid it off to Doran.  2nd half we walked it - a real turnaround in performance.  Ball on the deck, some lovely touches in the final third and a decent amount of composure from the lads on the wings.  Nick Ross impressed me most, I would say.  Having said that, though, Billy McKay took his goals so well, in particular that first goal.  Saw on Twitter there were scouts from Swansea (really?), Sheff Utd and others at the game - no doubt McKay was the main attraction.  Now, that would be the first real test for Hughes, wouldn't it?

 

PS Really looking forward to seeing that rugby tackle on Watkins again!

Dive aside, I thought Watkins was tremendous and a good job done in difficult conditions. Don't understand how the rules can be interpreted to allow grappling to the ground in the penalty box though.

Could have been a Banana Skin but another good result and clean sheet to Boot
