Note for info the County game plan was a carbon copy of the Hibs 2007 Scottish Cup semi-final (and replay) v Dunfermline
when Jim McIntyre played in midfield for the Pars and should've been red-carded for persistent fouling together with Mason. Anti-football won the day again and maybe we should join the anti-football brigade and just 'park the bus' in all matches and counter attack as we don't win anything with our expansive option anyway! I read McIntyre's game plan like a book and could've sent Stubbs a full dossier on his intentions in this final incl the man-marking. By the way Bartley never made significant contact with the staggies defender who was trying to block him and the guy 'made a meal of it' - a yellow card all day long!
