If it is not an exceptional amount of money we would be crazy to let him go at this time.

Drapes had a stomach strain but was getting fitness tests at half time on Saturday

I usually work overtime and take time off in lieu for games and have only missed 3 in 3 seasons but I am rostered to work Saturday and will not be asking for the time off. Like another poster on another thread, I will save my time and money.

1. Inverness Caledonian Thistle 2nd to 12th. Don't care.

Just back and I'll put the three points of view. First from Blues fans in the Royal George after the game: They thought our defending was comedic at times and thought that the tippy tappy football at the back was asking for trouble but all agreed Ryan Christie was some prospect and would swap for Andy Shinnie The second view from the 5 Baggie fans who came with us: they thought the highlight was the " If you hate Aston Villa" chant but as for the game they were not impressed and thought our defenders have to defend first and play second. From me: Not going to comment on the game as it's all been said, but unless I missed it, did our management team come over at the end to acknowledge the fans as I didn't see them? If they didn't somebody should have a word. By the way thanks to the Blues fans in the Royal George pub beside the ground for letting us in before and after the game. Staff reckoned we were the first ever away fans wearing colours allowed in

Not if you want to be stood outside electronic turnstiles when people with tickets go in, no.

Want me to buy yours? Yes please - never mind the bollicks but that is just stooped - there are bound to be fans - home, away and neutral that are going to turn up on the day. Look nobody is saying it's an all ticket game, what I said is you will probably need a ticket to get in e.g No cash turnstiles. Sorry if I tried to help people. Won't make that mistake again. If I had wished to have a go at you I would have addressed it to you. But if there are NO cash turnstiles then how is it NOT an all ticket match - DOH If you cannot work this one out you are not the intelligent man i took you for.

About a dozen sat behind the away dugout area.

Do not understand the trialist thing at all. Of all the positions we have cover in CM has the most. Draper, Foran, Tansey, Vincent , Polworth, and Williams all able to play there. Hughes has said its pointless wasting a wage for someone to sit in the stand. Another Yogi conundrum that I cannot workout. Everyone can see its upfront we need to look at.

Having been to all pre-season games I have to say this was much better. Forget Clach and Forres the other games have left me with a lot of doubts. Today I think we mixed things up more and broke from defence to attack much quicker. I do think the pi***ng about at the back will cause us major problems in league games.

I would think the SPFL would have all T.V rights of any kind covered. Although I do remember a webcam at Morton when we were in the first div.

Says only the Kop stand. Did you buy online or phone up? No mention of away tickets that I can see. At the ICT shop.

Bought tickets today and noticed a bar code. Looks like it's mechanised turnstiles so tickets will be needed. Brum website says it's tickets only and only some of the ground will be open.

According to twitter yes, only the main stand.

Not as good as we have, but it's hard to say on one game. Tansey has been one of the better things in pre-season and he certainly wasn't up to his ability. With our midfield I would say it would be a waste of a wage. Yogi has said there is no point paying a player to sit in the stand.

Went in to buy another shirt today (my wife has claimed the first one) and a guy dressed head to foot in Celtic gear came in the shop. I thought to my self " They better not be selling him tickets for the Celtic game". Imagine my shock when he bought a new shirt for his ICT supporting son. Fair cheered me up.

I mean he looks a lot older 22. So the hard work of a paper round made him look older than he is.

Tell you what, if he is only 22 years old he must have had one hell of a paper round judging by what I saw on Wednesday.

Not heard a lot about our captain lately and noticed he wasn't in any of the new kit pictures. How bad is his injury?

He looked a lot like Alan Gow to me. Certainly not a youngster but he did play about 70 mins so would Gow's injury allow him to have done that.

As I said people may be dissapointed by the lack of stripes but I have to say after initial doubts I've grown to like it. Now if the sizing is better I will be giving my £40.50 to the shop later today.

Just back. The no.8 looked like Gow but played central midfield. Sounds like a broken record but we passed and kept the ball well but have little cutting edge. Not a lot more to be said really apart from Josh went off very early, Christie looked bright and Billy scored.

I'm going along with my wife and dogs. I don't think to many of the U20's will play as Yogi is still using players in different positions and will try this up to Sunday I think. Always a good night in Banff.
