So can we deduct another 10 points off them?

Can't edit the original any more, but Police now say that "a man" has been charged with Breach of the Peace and will appear in court tomorrow (Mon) so I suppose we should now strictly refer to what 4300 people ALLEGEDLY saw! I wonder if he can use the defence of 4300 people walking in on him whilst he was getting changed?

Lennon said after the game "For me it was a criminal decision and it has cost us a Treble. Awful, awful refereeing". If he ever wonders why a lot of people in Scottish football don't like him (and his club), he should revisit that statement, his team were one nil down at the time so the decision didn't cost them a treble, it cost them the opportunity to equalaise in a game in a season where they haven't won any trophies yet and there's no guarantee that they will win the Scottish Cup. The arrogance of him irritates me!

I disagree with many things being suggested here. ICT and County have their own group of local sponsors. Some of these even sponsor both teams. Crowds will not really be affected. In fact I'd say there's likely to be benefit in that there are people in the area who'd go to an SPL game every week regardless of which team they support. If they're not travelling fans they may be just as likely to pop along to whichever team is at home that week to check out the other teams in the league. I can also see the possibility of a bigger sponsor coming in and splitting the sponsorship, much as is done with the OF, to get their brand on view every week instead of every two. At the moment each team has a few hundred diehard travelling supporters. For trips across the bridge that will swell to a few thousand. That can only increase the average gates of both clubs. I can also see the local derby as being of great interest to television. All in all I believe there will be more to gain than there will to lose by having our neighbours in the SPL

Second win of the season.......Killie u19s 2 ICT u19s 3.. They lost the last game at home against Killie 4-3.so maybe starting to gel. But if next season the u19s are those born after 1/1/1994 (not sure how it works, tbh), at the least Jack Sutherland,Tom Smith, Martin Laing, Andy Greig and Calum Dingwall, that I am pretty sure of, will be too old...and it is likely to mean that many replacements from the under 17s to make up numbers..so back to square one? I'm ambivalent re a reserve league or an under 21/23/25 or whatever league with some overage players as a staging post to give a level between u19 and first team football, so it is feasible for clubs to grow their own players,...though, as far as I know, the bounce games arranged sometimes for match fitness/practice for first team players have a proportion of under 19s participating....so I can't see why a reserve/under whatever age league wouldn't work much the same.......though a reserve league with no top age limits would likely be more useful re satisfying the need for match practice for peripheral/injured players and the need to blood under 19s. It is, after all, unlikely, at least in the short/medium term, we would ever have the equivalent of two signed teams of first team players plus first team bench warmers needing regular games....and I can't see more than the usual suspects managing to afford to sign that size of squad anyway, so most clubs would be in the same boat. But then I don't know a lot about football...and I still haven't worked out if the powers that be in the SPL and SFA have any more insight re football than I do, as the commonsense and pragmatic approach seems never to be an option in their scheme of things.

?23 for an adult ticket and ?17 for concessions? Aberdeen must be on something to be charging those prices. They're even worse than ours.
