Partick Thistle v Ross County


E.G.Red

Recommended Posts

Really odd that Ross County, one of the most Northern clubs in Scotland have 4 players from the West Country in their squad, not only Owura, but Andy Tillson’s son Jordan, Josh Sims from Yeovil & Ben Purrington who is from Exeter.

They are certainly a long way from home.

Decent pub quiz question would be: name the grounds with a capacity bigger than the population of where they’re located? Ross County can accommodate all of Dingwall. No idea if there are others. 

The only one I can think of is Bristol Rovers, who have a larger away following than the city in which they’re located.

I’ve been to Ross County a couple of times (as you do) and there’s something quite magical about what seems like the whole town walking up to the match

Great to watch, gut wrenching for the Partick Thistle fans, I think there was a guy on OTIB who used to follow them, I cant remember the name, but we had a few spats over my support for Celtic.

I love Scottish football, lots condemn it as 'pub league' stuff, but ffs, a good game is a good game and over the years I have often enjoyed games more in a local park than I have at Wembley.

I have been to a fair few Scottish grounds and managed to tick off Ross and ICT a few years back while holidaying on the Black Isle.

@BS4 on Tour..., he’s not been around for a while.  I still see him post stuff on FB, so he’s alive!!!

Yep, it is me - I followed The Jags all over in the 80s and 90s - including a memorable (???) 0-0 at Parkhead when the crowd was a paltry 26k - your club hasn’t always been ‘big’ ? - I still get up to Firhill when I can, The Jackie Husband Stand still makes an impressive racket - I was gutted for the lads in the play off defeat - that was Thistle’s 6th game in the play offs - they’d already thrashed Queen’s Park and Ayr Utd (both over two legs) and then they just came up short vs Ross County - I felt so sorry for the chap who missed the decisive pen for The Jags - he’s been with the club for 13 years and is Thistle to the core - heartbreaking for him ... ?

I did get to Firhill a few years back, slightly odd ground with the 'missing end' but I enjoyed it all the same. One of my old bosses was a fan, he used to remind me of the 1971 League Cup Final on a regular basis! I was convinced they would do for Ross and it was a heartbreaking end to the season for them. Lets hope they do it next time.

Only weeks after the Sheff W / P'boro' game, the commentator was sayign this was "an unbelieveable turn round".

Dunno if true, but I read that Ross pay 150% higher wage than equivalent clubs simply to tempt layers that far North.
