How many Saints recall a Dingwall game being called off just 2 hours prior to kick off? My one and only call to Jim Traynor I was that upset! I certainly do recall. That’s why I had said. “It won’t be the first time.” He also abandoned a home game we were winning 2-0 against Ross County St. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/24681328 Plus I’ve never forgotten how he never sent off Boruc for his scything down of Dargo at Love St, the penalty awarded against Goodwin in the semi final against the same opponents and numerous other controversial decisions.

antrin Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Is the County pitch a good one, well-drained? Or would even a wee bit rain tip it into boggy conditions?

Just reading that report. We were two up at the break, as you pointed out, and the match is abandoned: Quote Ross County manager Derek Adams felt Collum "definitely made the right decision". 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Is there a "cut off" time for a decision if this game goes ahead? With a drive of over three and a half hours it would need to be soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shite decision, I’m already in Inverness and staying over again tonight…….what in the name of the wee man are we going to do on a pissing wet day in the Highland Capital, ach well Hootenany’s and Johnny Foxes it is 🍺🥃🙈 in all seriousness I can see why they made the (correct) decision early and it saves the day trippers from setting off only to be disappointed and inconvenienced later, hangover here we come.

Watch out in Johnny Foxes, that where (I think) I caught Covid. That apart, you could be in worse places. 👍 Edited October 21, 2023 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Inverness but the bummer is that so much of the “cultural”:stuff up here is outdoors and I can’t imagine the wife and daughter are up for walking round Culloden in the rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have mentioned I’m in Inverness and weather is currently windy and pissing! Fair play to County for calling off early and allowing fans to stay put. Only issue for Paisley faithful is if this is now midweek unless it’s played during the cup weekend in Nov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, instead of Culloden, Cawdor Castle is one of the best wee yins to visit. Also loadsa art, for which the late Laird created information cards that are witty and self-mocking. ( great gardens, too - in warmer weather). And Eden Court (good restaurant/ok bar) has (IMHO) a couple of mediocre movies and a “meh” musical on tonight… https://eden-court.co.uk/whats-on/all ETA: The museum/art galleries is an easy step to The Gellions….
