Send in the OPWC inspectors to look for fluoride in the water Is there another aquifer there?

How can you have more than one "minimum recommended" length of ban for a first offence? For example, you run onto the pitch. You are slung out, and you receive a written warning. But is the minimum recommended ban 12 weeks, 6 months or 12 months?

No they won't. Payroll systems will just have to have up-to-date tax codes for everyone, as always. See my post a few above yours.

Cheers, Yngwie - I was wondering how close to suspension he is. Is there an online site showing current tallies? I had a quick look but couldn't find one.

Vigurs booked. Only 34 mins today. Wonder how many he is on now?

There is a registered - and very inactive - company called "Inverness Caledonian Thistle Supporters Society Limited". Company number SP2665RS. Just to confuse things, it is described as an "Industrial and provident society". So I'm not even going to guess which rules apply. I seem to renember someone saying that "Caley Jags Together" is an informal operating name or brand name for this Society.

You didn't "refer" to it, Charles. You insulted another poster with it. Having already made a similar insult when we thought he might be of another nationality. Freedom of speech does not mean being allowed to insult who you want, how you want. I'd have thought that someone who has been employed in the media for many years would have some understanding of that.

Would make the calendar more interesting next year

When this man said it - asked the question, actually - he was thinking of during the summer. Scottish transfer window shut at the moment. It was just an idle question. He was described as a "big striker" who never stopped trying, and who looked a threat whenever Brechin got the ball forward. Sounded like a square peg for our square hole!

Wonder if he'd like to stay in the Championship rather than drop down. I guess the problem is that because he's playing for Brechin you can't really tell how good he is. Worth a punt?

This doesn't take into account the long history and contribution of Loch Ashie over the years. I disapprove wholeheartedly and will never darken the doors of the stadium again.

As a non-seer - all I have to go on are the BBC text reports - I was thinking that there is nothing to lose. Come fast out of the traps at the start of the second half, and go for it!

Hey! They can miss penalties too

0-1. Penalty - Donaldson booked. Now we'll see what the team is made of...

We must be improving if it takes Vigurs 90 minutes to get booked A very welcome 3 points!

I thought that Robbo said that himself in the post-match interview. But either he wasn't very coherent or I wasn't listening too closely - so it's good to have that confirmed!

Well it wasn't going to be anyone from the forward line, was it?

That's being a bit too confident! Or it's another mishap with the teamsheet In fairness, Dumbarton are doing the same. Special rule for the final?

Can you quit with the racist crap, please, Charles? I damn near called you out last time - this time I am. Didn't the reactions to your earlier post teach you anything?

"Convene" is an ambiguous term. For the purposes of clarification, do they have 28 days from now to set a date for the meeting, or must the meeting happen within 28 days from now?

Looks like you do remember correctly! http://www.lostinverness.co.uk/missing-inverness/ Scroll down to see a pic of Flora with two guns behind her. "Both cannons were sent for war scrap in 1941."

SEO = search engine optimization? So what's the name of your business? You are Russian or from Eastern Europe?

Does Kevin MacDonald still have any connection with Aston Villa?

Charles, I think you are a wee bit out with some of the dates. The first time the Q Cup was split into North & South sections was 1931-32. Citadel won it that season, on 12 December 1931 - more about that below. Thistle won it in 32-33. Clach in 34-35 and 38-39 - if the final was played before the turn of the year then that would give you the 1934 and 1938 dates for Clach. The Lilywhites had been the first Highland League team to reach the final, in 24-25, but were beaten by Royal Albert. Citadel's road to victory is described in the booklet about them which was produced in 1990 (& revised in 1991), which some of you may have seen. I would hope that the Inverness library would have a copy. They beat Caley 2-0 at Telford Street in the first round, had a bye through the second, beat Ross County 3-1 at the Longman, and then had a bye in the fourth round. This put them into the semi-final, and it looks as though this is where North were drawn against South. Citadel played Lochgelly Amateurs at the Longman on the afternoon of Wednesday 4th November, and drew 0-0. Three days later, they won the replay at Lochgelly, 1-0. In the other semi, Murrayfield Amateurs beat Inverness Jags 4-1 at Kingsmills. The final was on November 28th, at Pittodrie, and attracted a crowd of 5,000. This ended in a 3-3 draw. Everyone reassembled - well, not quite, the crowd was only 3,000 - at Pittodrie a week later, Dec 5th, and this time the score was 2-2. The SFA scheduled the second replay for the next Saturday, the 12th. In a move which will sound very familiar, they set up this match between an Inverness team and an Edinburgh team, at... Easter Road! Citadel were not happy, and suggested Perth or even Glasgow, but the SFA were having none of it. This no doubt added an edge to the celebrations when Citadel outplayed Murrayfield and ran out as 4-1 winners, in front of a crowd of just over 3,000. They came home by train the next day, and despite the fact that it was the afternoon of the Sabbath, they were greeted at the station by a crowd of around 1,000. The team captain was carried shoulder-high as the Cup was paraded through the town behind a pipe band.
