angry gaz Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 The effort and willpower to get over the line there was immense. Some standouts performances , Lindsay , Elliot and Azeez were magnificent and of course DOOOOOOLAAAN. Team spirit at the match end brought a lump to my throat. Real physical battle of a game which we often loose but the team manned up magnificently. Great atmosphere in the Northy during and at the end too.

Lindau Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Two fantastically taken goals from Dools today to go along with a cracker from County as well. Found myself getting a bit emotional at the end when Dools ran up to the North at the end and lifted his jersey up with Doolan 100 on it ( I think!) As for the game, we were dreadful in the first half and only picked it up after the whole place got a lift with No 100. A lovely minutes applause for Rab. Taking Dools out the mix, I thought Christie Elliot was fantastic today with Lindsay and Keown not far behind. Was one of those days when nothing came off for Erskine, but the result is all that matters. Just as an aside for my old mate Sabbath, I thought Azeez did a great job when he came on. Running balls into corners, holding it up brilliantly and making sure the ball stayed down the other end and keeping the pressure off the defence at the end. All in all, not a great performance but a fantastic result. Hope young Rab was watching from upstairs!

Lindau Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Nice words from Archie and Beatts about Rab in the proggie today as well as a small obituary. Well done everyone at the club! Edited April 1, 2017 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter of '63 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Doolan!! Good to see us come back from a goal down for an important and deserved win. County are a physically strong side and I would be surprised if they ended in the relegation places. We had both the grit and the craft to pick up the 3 points - surely that secures our Top Six place. Erskine had one of his off days though he still has the ability to create chances - a wonderful touch but tried to play Dools in when he was clean through. Osman looks increasingly like he is held together with duct tape and we are running out of midfielders. Keown was again solid and Lindsay came on to a good game...Lawless was excellent and Elliot of whom I have never been a great fan had an outstanding game. Azeez was great entertainment bashing into County defenders. But it was a special day to be at Firhill to see Kris Doolan score two more very well-taken goals and reach the 100 Milestone - well done that man. Doolan!!

Garscube Road End Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Great result Jags. Doolan? What can you say about him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonehJags Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 What a result. That should be us now provided there are no strange results. Seen the goals there on sky sports, nice touch by azeez to put doolan in for the 2nd. Doolan is a legend, what a way to celebrate breaking through the century. Its a good time to be a Jag. The inverness and killie kick in the baws is forgiven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I hope Archibald will be presenting Christie Elliot with a new contract on Monday morning. He was outstanding today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I hope Archibald will be presenting Christie Elliot with a new contract on Monday morning. He was outstanding today! Totally agree. But for Dools he would surely have been MOTM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kenny Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Stick Elliot just about anywhere on the pitch and he never lets you down. Superb today. The academy boys have some superb role models in Elliot & Doolan on how to make the most of your career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Because he was a bit of a knob when he left. If he was, then he was knob that gave us excellent service during his time with us - he was an integral part of a group that took us many, many miles on the road to our current status. For that alone he deserves respect - in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell Jag Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Dools rightly MOTM and agree Christie was excellent today, however I think the game changed when Azeeze came on. Until then the County defence looked comfortable dealing with our attack. Credit also to Scott Fox for coming up and congratulating Doolan at the end.

For that alone he deserves respect - in my opinion. Agree with that. He gave us great service and a lot of people have forgotten that, though he could have done with keeping his trap shut about wanting to move to a bigger club with a bigger support, then moving to Ross County. Good servant but we now have a keeper that is far better so it's all worked out fine for everyone concerned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 IT was pretty obvious right from the start that it wasn't going to be a good day for Erskine. Although he did have a great chance in the 2nd half when he was clean through. I think Doolan was offside combine with Erskine's lack of confidence today resulted in the chance being missed. Agree with others, Elliot was outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome on the Bing Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 It's a long time since I enjoyed a half of football as much as I did the second half this afternoon. After looking jittery and out of sorts in the first half, we came racing out of the blocks in the second and were clearly the better side. Oddly, when we conceded I wasn't overly concerned. There was something in the air this afternoon. It was Doolan's day. And what a cracking couple of goals to take him to 100 and beyond. Special mention for some other star performers though: Elliot was fantastic, as were Lindsay and Keown at the back. Fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bunny Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Two fantastically taken goals from Dools today to go along with a cracker from County as well! Their goal was well taken but it came from a blunder by Barton (who had his head in his hands afterwards realising what he'd done (trying to knock the ball sideways to a team mate rather than just clearing it and instead laying it on to the RC player). Great effort from the Jags coming back so well from such a sickener. Our own two goals were not only well taken by Dools but well set up by Lindsay and Barton.

Was right in line with it in the North and he struck it beautifully. Am I the only one that was a bit shocked where County played Boyce today. They had him as more of a midfielder than a striker. If he gets fed up with that role, would be happy to see him at Firhill, though I thought he was looking a bit "chunky" today!

West Ender Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I thought Chris Erskine was more nervous about Doolan reaching his 100 than the man himself. I thought that was a bit of the reason for his poorish play today. I think the thought of being provider was hanging heavy on his mind.

BowenBoys Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Lovely interview on Jagzone with a very happy Kris Doolan. There will be a Jagzone special on Monday with all 100 goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Horrible first half but, similar to a fortnight ago at Rugby Park, we managed to drastically improve in the second. Two great finishes from Doolan but Elliott definitely getting the credit he deserves. Fantastic in both halves. Top six is just about ours. Kilmarnock will either have to beat Celtic or Rangers, or draw with both of them and Dundee would have to win their last three games before the split to catch us. Looking forward to a relaxing end to the season for a change.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Thought County were uncharacteristically very positive today but Archie countered their game plan during play very effectively. At first it was looking like County were winning just about every 50/50 ball in midfield. I think it was more a case of standing off them and stealing the ball. It worked well and had Erskine been on song it would've proved more productive. Also when we changed to three at the back, with Barton dropping into the middle of the defence we looked a lot more solid. When Osman went off it made the introduction of Devine that much easier, the only drawback being we were stuck with that formation for the rest of the game. Plenty been said already about Elliott but I also thought Big Liam was immense. From Archie's point of view I'm sure he'll be chuffed with Lawless and Azeez who both in their different ways helped keep the ball up the right end of the park. Can't come up with words that can come close to express my admiration for Kris Doolan. Edited April 1, 2017 by lady-isobel-barnett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metz Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 All credit to Kris what a day for him and his family. There were no failures today with special mention to Liam and Nial if we had them for the next 5 Years we could do a lot worse. On the day though Christie was immense and all credit to him my MOM.

Muscat Jag Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 There was a time when I held my head in my head in my hands and groaned when Christie Elliot's name was in the team sheet. What an improvement that player has made to his game. Today quite simply the best player on the park. Well done Christie, you deserve great credit.

Jaggernaut Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 New contract for Elliott now, please!!! Kris Doolan: simply the best striker we have had in decades...... and we've been fortunate enough to have had him for more than half a decade!
