Did well when he came on today.

Do we know who the members of the "independent appeal panel" were? I can only think of two decisions as bad as this one. Zalikuas at Pitodrie in an incident with Lee Miller. Miller fouled Zalikuas, Brines sent the Hearts man off. Appealed and Brines said his decision stood! Murdo Macleod denied Jason Scotland a work permit. They go on about the ills of Scottish football and the lack of competition for the old scum. Neutral referees would help.

If Shay is such a magnificent keeper how come he had ten years of carnage in front of him at Newcastle? He was the only constant in that defence. He goes to City and the same happens. Richard Dunne becomes a "bad" player and gets punted. Micah Richards plays his way out of the World Cup. Lescott and Toure become duffers but according to the pundits he was Mark Hughes's best signing. He has had one clean sheet in the league since August. Silly thing to say. Given is a fantastic keeper and the Best in the EPL. To say otherwise is foolish. I say Pepe Reina is the best keeper in England so I am a fool. You are probably right. Shay has been incredibly unlucky with duff central defenders. Hardly ever keeping a clean sheet is just a coincidence.

Could Hegarty be the new Alex Smith? Always sacked but the press love him.

Craig Brown has had no success at club level. John had success here but remember when he arrived the club were top of the league. Elsewhere he struggled. Between the two I would pick John Robertson but I would pick Pele above the both of them.

To be fair to Robbo he did not have Pele's team anywhere else.

Scored for East Fife. Neil Main scored for Fraserburgh against Bonnyrigg Rose.

Possibly but he is the full-time manager of this football club and should not be going to Japan if there is a club game.

Funny you should say that. I watched Cove v Buckie tonight and there was six on show. Stewart McKenzie the Cove goalie plus Buckie's McKinnon, Stewart, MacRae, MacMillan and Zander.

McGowan,McMillan and Soane scored yesterday in the Highland League

Cant dispute whether or not they were born in Inverness, may have been cos it was the nearest mattie hospital, but they were brought up in Caol, Fort William as was another two I could add to the list.....Donald Park and George 'Pele' Cambell both went from Caley. Parkie to Hearts and Pele to Aberdeen then on to Australia where he's still involved in football. "Pele" Campbell was never on Caleys books. Caley signed two other Lochaber based youngsters around that time - Stuart McKinnon, who was a schoolboy international played season 72-73 before going to Edinburgh Uni to study maths and Joe Toal, a striker, who packed in football shortly after to concentrate on shinty. I think Joe Toal died at a very young age. Donnie Gillies was another Fort William player who played for Clach and went on to play for Bristol City.

Have to agree

He was never at Aberdeen. He joined Elgin in 2003/04 season as a sixteen year old. I think he may have been an S form signing at Aberdeen and certainly played for their under age teams before switching to Celtic. Very surprised he has been released and Garry Wood for that matter.

Smith was laughing with the Falkirk players right after the sending off. Totally inappropriate. Not long after that Morais got nailed and we did not even get a free kick never mind a Falkirk booking. You have to wonder.

The Graeme Stewart who scored at Love Street in Robbo's first game? He was a youth player. Hardly a terrible signing.

Good shout

No one seems to have taken over from Rory Mac as the goalscorer in this team. That was a strong team on paper.

Disappointing because I thought Aberdeen were there for the taking. Our final ball was poor. I thought Morais did well until he ran out of steam. Proctor and Kerr were dire. I think Vigurs needs to be re-introduced for a bit of quality. He has not had a look in since the change of manager. At least Falkirk got beat so it was not a disaster.

I think it is wrong having the two jobs but at least he did not go on holiday to Majorca like Calderwood! It is a rod for his own back if we do not win it will become a bigger issue. As long as he jacks Scotland in after the current campaign which hopefully will be more than three games.

Stewarty was the best finisher I have seen in terms of lobbing the ball over the keeper. He scored tons of goals like that.

What a great result. Well done boys.

Wood scored for the reserves this week. Rooney did not. Change in pecking order?

Best wishes to the new manager. Though his overall managerial record is not the best he did very well at Motherwell after they went into administration. What does concern me is that he has not resigned his Scotland post. Surely the job here is massive and demands one hundred per cent of his efforts. By staying with Scotland he is only creating a rod for his own back. If we get beat after a Scotland game he will get slaughtered. I remember Alex Miller doing the same at Aberdeen and that ended it tears. (Was it a dream or did he really sit beside Benitez in the dugout) So come on Terry give Scotland a miss and you will have more chance of success.

Not really..... Dirty Den managed to score on the odd occasion... http://www.scotprem.com/content/default.asp?page=s52 Bit of context lads. All the best Rory. you are only 21 stick in.
