St Mirren v Ross County abandoned,waterlogged pitch.

Seriously Scunnered, Rob - Saints were 2 up past the hour mark - game was on BBC Alba and as Sister Rosetta would say 'Didn't it rain'. Inverness doing
well but now need to hang on to Terry Butcher as Hibs come sniffin' around.

Oh dear, very bad luck. never been to an abandoned game, though one or two must have come close back in the fighting days of the 70's and 80's.
thanks to ER for his excellent roundup as ever.

[gurnemanz]

To quote the erudite Eagles fansite: "Palace in seventh hell" ....all gone quiet over here.

I don't remember being at an abandoned game either, sainty, but that's two abandoned games in a week for the Dingwall faithful following the floodlight fiasco at the Global Energy Stadium.
I do remember going to games with uncovered terraces, getting totally drookit watching some glorious mudlark like Big Yogi Hughes, the big dumplin' who played outside left for Celtic, as he romped through the puddles - you know the type - he'd beat about five guys and then trip over his own twinklin' toes. (though here he is with the number 9 on his back - wish I'd been at this game)

I've never been a game where a goalie scored either, as far as I recall...yer holy goalie looked a touch embarrassed.

Rovers on a one match win run....

Rovers on a one match win run....

I've mentioned my friend Mike - Bristol born and bred and fanatical Rovers supporter, goes to every away game he can. So, I met him and said how was the match on Saturday, were the stands exploding with joy at winning? Well, because his friends dropped out, and they were playing against Oxford, the top of the league - he didn't go in anticipation of defeat - and listened at home!
Sick as a parrot I believe the correct footie expression is .....

[John Wright]

There will be a very chuffed teamsaint here soon, Rodriguez and Lallana have had an England call!

[teamsaint]

Well hope for the others still. 3 years ago we were clawing our way up L1 after a dreadful start.

Today, in the top 6 of the Pl, and 3 players in the England squad. Cheers JW.

Lallana is certainly no worse that several in the England squad, and deserves a chance to see if he can further step up. He has been sensational of late, and he is very reliable.
Can't see Jay Rod making the plane to Brazil, but who knows, he is young, works like a trooper, and will do any job you ask him.

on a sad note, what a pity that 3 Pl points is more important than a shot at the League cup. Sad indictment of modern footy.
