It has been over a month since the Ross County F.C. closed out the 2010-2011 SFL First Division season with a 3-0 victory over Cowdenbeath F.C. that not only guaranteed that the Staggies would remain in the First Division, but also condemned Cowdenbeath to the relegation playoffs and eventually demotion to the Second Division. Within [...]

New England Revolution v. San Jose Earthquakes (Saturday) Whatever happened to that big time striker the Revs were going to sign as their first Designated Player? Yeah, I’m thinking I should probably just get over it and move on. Having done that, the best thing that the Revs could do at this point would be [...]

Under normal circumstance I refrain from getting involved in transfer speculation and the rumor mill here on ATD in anything but the most light-hearted manner. At worse, I might report on what the rumors are around a given player or club, but I’m always careful to state that, in the end, they are only rumors. [...]

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 [...]

I’d like to begin by thanking everyone for their patience with the long delay between the publication of the first half of the commenter survey results and this, the second half of those results. Normally this would be the place where I made some sort of humorous excuse for why this has happened, but the [...]

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 [...]

Tuesdays are usually pretty slow here at ATD (I think a few staff members consider Mondays to be part of the “weekend”) so I thought I’d take a moment to answer that question that you’ve all been asking yourself for weeks now, “What’s the latest news at Ross County F.C.?!” Well, as it happens there’s [...]

Let’s play the “hypothetical situation” game. A player on your team has not performed well since his £18.5 million transfer to your club last season. You feel that the team would be better off without him. How do you handle this problem and yet not sow seeds of strife in your already troubled dressing room? [...]

It’s no secret that I dislike ESPN. This is not uncommon amongst bloggers (I will NOT refer to us as the blogosphere) as there seems to be a rather large anti big-media contingent for a variety of reasons. My first dip into blogging was a piece over at Unprofessional Foul about how I didn’t want [...]

There has been a lot of news coming out of Gillette Stadium in Foxboro over the last two weeks and all of it has been decidedly negative. One of the Revolution’s main supporter’s sections- The Fort- has been essentially run out of town in an attempt to create an even more fan-friendly attitude at the [...]
