dan cake Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Where the feck are they all coming from? Population of Dingwall is less than a third of that! no doubt the taboard "anybody but hibs brigade" will swell the attendance, pathetic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLAS Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Big proportion of the support comes from the outlying areas like Alness, Tain, Invergordon and the in between villages then you also got a fair bit of the support comes from the west coast and a few from Sutherland too. Fair enough, I suppose. Worked with a few County fans in Glasgow. They get about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JECK Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I realise it's all about the result but I thought RC were pretty poor today. They are all over the shop at the back. Which of course makes it all the funnier. Aye that were my initial thoughts aswell. Didn't think they were that great considering their 1 man advantage. Essentially fouled their way through the second half, alot of the players looked panicked and bottle could go at any point. I fancy hubs with Henderson/McGinn/stokes and Cummings should be significant threat. Then again it is the hubs we're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Cup Final though and a new experience for most of the players on both sides so could go either way imo. You just wonder if there might be a bit of extra pressure on Hibs, having the massive crowd behind them, and now being favourites to win for a lot of people. Should be a good final anyway.

Orraloon Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Where the feck are they all coming from? Population of Dingwall is less than a third of that! I'm going to support Ross County. Never been to Dingwall in my life. Great final for the "neutrals". Not sue they will sell 18,000 though? How many did they sell for the Cup final v United? I would imagine it would be similar to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmac1 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Pretty sure they had about 17-18k at the Scottish Cup final. Doubt they'll take as many this time. ICT took almost double to the Scottish Cup final than what we did to the league cup final the year before.

Toll Bridge TA Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I would except us to be allocated and sell out about 30k for this one (same as the Kilmarnock final in 2007). Going to be a very tough match and can't go into the game being complacent. Great chance to get some silverware though. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants to talk about attitude and bottle and not basic technique. County always tried to work the ball up the park - taking the ball under pressure and moving it on to the next guy. Basic technical stuff and although they ain't the greatest players in the world they obviously practise this regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanx Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 they are called Ross COUNTY... No Ross Town..... Thanks for saving me the effort. It would be like discussing the Hibs allocation based on the population of Easter Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) There were four ex Celtic youths in County's team yesterday too. Marcus Fraser, Scott Fox, Michael Gardyne and Jackson Irvine. Edited February 1, 2016 by ErsatzThistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Jackson Irvine is a very good player. Gardyne also pretty handy. It will be a good final. Both teams play decent football. Can't see County bringing 18000 though but who cares. They are in a final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see County bringing 18000 though but who cares. They are in a final. Couldn't make my mind up about him. This will sound daft but he reminds me a lot of Andy Carroll. Very awkward and the ability to spray passes about, but then looking like he will trip over his own feet minutes later. They even run the same. He did well yesterday though.

Rossy Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm sure many Hibs fans will think that they've got the cup won because County are such a 'wee' team.....but RC most definitely shouldn't be under-estimated. They're a very compact, hard-working team with some good players who are capable of decent football and scoring goals. At this moment in Scotland, they're probably the team that are getting the very best from the sum of their parts. It'll be an interesting final, with weirdly enough, probably the lower league side as favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Think we'll get around 25k and county will get around 18k leaving the rest for sponsors etc. Pretty sure Hibs will end up with more than that. More like the 40k / 11k split at the Celtic - Killie final in 2012... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Jim Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 If Hibs win it will be McGinns second winners medal in this comp. I can't think of any other players who have won a major cup with 2 different non old firm teams, not in recent times anyway, but I could be talking sh!te Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of any other players who have won a major cup with 2 different non old firm teams, not in recent times anyway, but I could be talking sh!te Andy Webster won the Scottish cup with Hearts and Dundee united.
