Wee season preview podcast available now: Apple - https://tinyurl.com/y5dd3tzn Google - https://tinyurl.com/y3ckntb6 Podbean - https://tinyurl.com/yyjzw6fd Spotify - Not synced yet. We've got a wee interview with new signing Robbie Deas (full interview to be released at a later date), an update from Scott Gardiner on what's been going on at the club, opposition previews with input from fans of Hearts fan Joel Sked (of The Terrace) and Raith Rovers Scott Cargill. We've also got a "behind the scenes" chat with ICT kitman Jack Davis. Plenty to get your, erm, ears into then!

On the one hand it’s very sensible, Some crowds better than no crowds, but there’s also the consideration that the ‘provincial’ teams would arguably get a competitive advantage for non-footballing reasons. Being made to play behind closed doors is used by football authorities as a punishment, but in the current circumstances the teams affected would have done nothing wrong. I like the idea because it suits us but I know how I’d feel if ICT had that imposed when central belt teams were allowed fans back.

It would be, but everyone in charge are clowns and won't do anything unless it benefits the Old Firm sides

As far as getting fans back into grounds is concerned, I wonder if there could be scope for following the more nuanced and regionalised approach that seems to be proving successful in Germany. As far as I understand it. Clubs are permitted to have fans in grounds up to 20% of capacity as long as the local region has an infection rate of less than 35 per 100,000 and the fans give an address, for contact tracing purposes,within the local region. If that was applied to Scotland right now, every club in the Highlands Moray, Aberdeenshire and in the south such as Stranraer, Queen of the South and Berwick would be permitted to have fans as well as St Johnstone and all four of the Angus clubs. That way, we could at least get things underway, set a template for the rest of the country and areas with relatively low rates of infection would not be penalised due to the high rates currently being seen in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire and Fife. As things stand, it would also permit every Highland League club and quite a few Lowland league clubs to have some fans in and thus generate some income. Something to consider maybe ?

That's good thinking Kingsmills must be living in Aberdeen-shire that helped you there

God bless Elgin City.

streaming costs money if the club are doing it. Theres a fair bit of infrastructure (and red tape) berhind the streaming arrangements and copyrights, its not as simple as having someone go live on facebook or similar (although for friendlies I guess it could be).

This decision had nothing to do with Rangers so your Orange Lodge jibe is totally out of order. if you would care to look at social media or have a look at Rangers forums you will see that their fan base are as equally outraged as our selves regarding the decision of the referee. See below a couple of the many comments on Rangers Follow Follow fans forum all supporting our statement. Iloverangers87 Well-Known Member Yesterday at 10:07 PM Excellent statement. The fact that wasn’t overturned is an absolute joke GazzaG Well-Known Member Official Ticketer 44 minutes ago A player sent off against us, and yet you can't find a single Rangers fan who thinks it was a dive and that the appeal being thrown out was a joke. But somehow the SFA have managed to find a panel who think it was simulation. Super Caley going ballistic must still be gnawing away at them. I think RIG has summed it up as this decision is in response to Robbos outburst after the game , however I think Robbo was quite correct in his assesment of the referee. The statement from the club is excellent and it leaves the SFA without a leg to stand on. The decision to uphold the original decision of the referee is a disgrace and the whole of Scottish Football knows it apart from the 3 panel members.
