SPFL Ross County v Celtic Sunday October 6th kick off 12PM Sky sports football

There was a keeper at the Euros who moved behind the line..always thought that was the way forward

 

As stonewall a penalty as you will see.

 

Would bring McCowan or Bernardo on for Engels, maybe even Yang or Palma for Maeda.

 

2:15 ???? Propper about 2 yards inside.....Plus the Keeper's heal was off the line.

 

VAR!

 

Too slow in our play..

McCowan for Engels who looks tired and no on it. Maybe Kyogo early and go 2 up top..

 

Khun and Engles seem well off it and I don't know why Scales stuck his arm up like that. For all our possession we are doing little with it and rarely shooting.

 

Yeah McCowan is perfect for this game

 

Idk about Butland being off his line, but the encroachment rules have changed apparently. It only matters if the encroaching player has a material impact on the game, which the Rangers player didnt. So by the current guidelines the encroachment doesn't matter in that case

 

Aye we'd be raging if we didn't get it.
Even moved his arm towards it

 

So remotely true or not?

It needs called out

 

Hate being 1-0 down at the break to a team like this. Been a turgid watch and really, really need to get that equaliser immediately. Subs also have to come on now for me. Wouldn't leave it any longer.

 

Well, who'd of thought a midweek humiliation would have had a negative affect on the teams confidence and morale, eh Brendan?

The financial disparity between us and Ross County is far wider compared to the financial disparity between us and Dortmund, so how are they able to set up a team to frustrate us this much and take the lead, eh Brendan?

This is why that result midweek was not only a disaster in Europe, but also the ramifications it could have on us domestically too, which is what we're seeing so far today in my opinion

 

Really dropped the intensity in this game compared to how we have been for most of the season. Really need to pick this up after the interval.

And credit to County so far. Cowie has a gameplan and it's been working. Might be ugly, but it's working.

Should be no surprise though, as they've been like this at home since he took over, back in February, lost just 2 out of 15 home games - and one of those was Aberdeen 1-0 win about a month ago, when they scored in the 97th minute.

Even last week, they clung on to a 1-0 advantage until deep, deep, deep into stoppage time when Hearts equalized, to make it 1-1. Made it very, very tough.

But for the most part County do concede far more int he 2nd (3 first half, 9 2nd - and 7 of those 9 coming after the hour mark).

 

Definitely. See even a shot from 25 yards. Try!

 

So slack today, confidence expectedly taken a bit of a knock. We'll work through it of course, but can't be dropping points in the mean time.

Really hoping McCowan comes on soon, think his tenacity will make a big difference. Just need something to click, get a goal back and go from there.

 

Worse than some of the * we were subjected to last season..

 

Linesman looking right at the penalty save had no issue with it. VAR used to our disadvantage yet again.

 

No 10 clearly in the box when the 2nd penalty is taken .

 

Strange more keepers haven't started doing this, gives them a chance to get momentum before the ball is hit and not go over the line
