Ross County 2015-16 Season Review

 Steven Kellow    Football  

Once again we’ve reached the end of the football season, and even though the pain of Scotland’s failure to reach Euro 2016 will echo through much of the upcoming months it’s been softened greatly by the fact that Ross County have had one of their best seasons ever. Ross County have cemented themselves as a top flight club and done so in some style by storming to their second top-six finish in their four year stint in the Premiership and of course winning their first — Read more →

Ross County 2015-16 Season so far

At this stage in the season, it’s a bit strange being a positive County fan.  Every year we’ve been in the Premiership, and that’s us in our fourth season, we’ve gone into the New Year with trepidation after a few tough months that have seen us flirt with the relegation spots.  This season’s completely different.

As much as you’d think we’d be getting used to it, last night Scotland once again experienced the pain of failure as our Euro 2016 dreams were shattered.  Despite hope and optimism that this could be our chance, once again we’ve come up short.  Scottish football is at its lowest ebb. So what went wrong this time?  We had a tough group, and one in which we were 4th seeds, but under Gordon Strachan we went into the qualifying campaign with optimism and even though — Read more →
