Bradford City A.F.C. v. Southend United F.C. (Friday) As recently as 2000 Bradford were a Premier League club, now they are only one spot above being relegated from league football. I’m not sure how you fill Valley Parade (25,000+) as a conference club, but the Bantams may find out. Southend are in a very different [...]

All the news from Dingwall…
Posted in General, Homerism, News, Ross County, Scottish Football League, The Scottish Cup on August 30, 2011 | 2 Comments »
There were a few pieces of good news coming out of the Highlands this week. The first is that County picked up an away point in their weekend match against Falkirk F.C.- and former County goalkeeper Mick McGovern. Three points seemed to be on offer for the Staggies until an 87th minute strike from Falkirk’s [...]

Welcome back, I trust everyone had a productive week? At least one of you took advantage of your time at work to complete this week’s challenge, so congratulations to Andrew M.!

Welcome. Below are this week’s eight questions. They are not particularly hard, but a few of them are a bit tricky and a few of them require a more specific answer than you might initially think. If you find any of these questions annoying, frustrating, or even boring please keep in mind that I discovered [...]

I’m happy to say that last week’s “good mix of questions” lived up to my evaluation of them. We had three commenters submit their answers and, as would be expected, they all got the easy ones correct, some got the middling questions correct, and the correct answers to the most difficult of the questions were [...]
A Ross County Update: Sounds good to me!

You may have noticed that other than a bit of hand-wringing in my weekly match previews for Ross County I’ve remained more or less silent lately about the goings on in the People’s Republic of Dingwall, and with good reason- there hasn’t been much good news to report. Tomorrow that is going to change- sort [...]

I am happy to report that my earnest pleas (also known as “whinging”) in recent weeks has resulted in not one, but two submissions this week! Though neither Jeff Q. or Andrew B. got all of the right answers, they both did exceptionally well with what I thought was a pretty tough group of questions. [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Cowdenbeath F.C. (Saturday) On Tuesday the Staggies seemed on track to bring home at least an “away point” from their match against Queen of the South- and then the floodlights gave out in the 65th and the match was abandoned. If it weren’t for bad luck… Moving on. A victory against [...]
Dundee, the SPL, the National Team, and of course, the County.

The best way to start this most recent round-up of the goings-on with Ross County and beyond is to start with a few words about what is going on 150 miles down the A9 in Dundee. It was announced last Friday that the Scottish Football Association had rejected Dundee F.C.’s appeal of the 25 point [...]
The 2010-2011 Ross County F.C. Season Review
Posted in Commentary, General, Homerism, News, Off the Pitch, Ross County, Scottish Football League, Scottish Premier League, The Scottish Cup, Transfer Rumors, Transfers on May 9, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Given all of the rumors swirling around the players, the manager, and Ross County F.C. as a whole at the conclusion of the 2010-2011 season the temptation is to look forward, to become preoccupied with what might happen rather than to analyze what has happened. I am not going to ignore all of these rumors [...]
