DJS

This isn't good enough. Both clubs have had since the fixtures came out in June to make a change, but they do it less than three weeks before the event when many folks will already have their New Year holiday plans in place. Fans of both St Johnstone and ICT deserve better. :angry:

I don't think you can expect any more hugs from Marius after these comments sonny In a year of really good results, this may be the best of the lot.

So if this proposal were to go through it would probably result in three teams being relegated next season and one being promoted to make up the ten. How can you expect 11 SPL clubs to vote for that? As has already been said, turkeys, Christmas and all that. I don't want to see Caley Thistle playing the same team four times each season. I want a bigger league with more players given the chance to play SPL football and more communities the opportunity to see it. I would be horrified if ICT voted for this nonsense.

Do you think Colin Calderwood had an inkling that this was going to happen when he went to Hibs?

John MacDonald - former Rangers player (DOB 15/4/61) Played two games while on trial at Caley Thistle. Was offered a contract but declined becaused he couldn't be ersed with the travelling. Later a coach at Plastic Whistle.

An alternative and variation on an earlier theme might be COMEBACKABILITY

Did nobody check to see if Sandy Roy, Mr W Knowles of Inverurie or even A D C Kidd were available?

Sounds like an excellent initiative Johndo. I certainly plan ditching the ICT scarf for the day in favour of my old Caley one Would suggest all old Caley or Thistle fans don blue and white or red and black for the day.

As ever, IHE is the voice of reason, wisdom and common sense. I have a vivid memory of Elgin keeper, Dave Lawtie, getting pelted with snowballs at Telford Street in the days when they played football in the snow and stewards hadn't been invented. Would love to do that again to an Elgin goalie. Maybe in January

Excellent draw. Borough Briggs would have been great but this will do. Have waited a long time for this and will not miss it for anything.

me too

I believe the 4th round draw is at Hampden on Monday. So who do you fancy getting? I wouldn't mind a wee trip to Buckie or Elgin to get things under way.

Exilerating, thrilling and hugely enjoyable. About as much fun as you can have with your clothes on And in the chill November air they needed to be on. One little downside was Jonny Hayes tweeking a hamstring near the end. Would be surprised to see him next week.

Abracadabra! As if by magic, it was back.

It will look nice with the concrete footballs from the Telford Street turnstiles and the framed club crest from the Telford Street tunnel.

Well done that man!

For the first three league games of the season, there it was, up the flagpole at the corner of the ground. For the last three league games it has been missing. Has it been lost, stolen, sold or destroyed by some bitter old jaggie furious that it was blue and white. Maybe, this post will trigger its reappearance. Let's see.

and a booking

Aye, but did this appear in the Aberdeen version of the paper? that would have been sweet... and a few choice responses from dons fans. Yes, it would have done.

The author is pleased to have given satisfaction.

Thoroughly well deserved.

Whether it's through fear, panic or paranoia, I don't know, but many associated with Dundee seem to have lost the plot. The 25 point deduction seems about right to me for a club in administration for the second time in seven years, and the idea that relegation to Division 2 is an unthinkable situation which they could never survive will be seen by many as ridiculous. Clubs survive in Divisions 2 & 3 when they are run prudently and Dundee should be able to do the same if they find themselves there. Then again this is Dundee, a club that could not live within its means in the SPL or SFL Div 1. Much of the sympathy I had for them a week ago is fast evaporating and I suspect many Scottish football fans are starting to feel the same way.

Ancient and uninteresting, bitter and twisted history.

Have now heard from a couple of sources about the death of Gordon Munro. He would be better known to many of you as Gordy Bus and was a very keen Caley and Caley Thistle fan who worked on the turnstiles for both clubs. Even if you didn't know him you probably handed him some money or your season ticket at some point. I believe his funeral is at Dalneigh Church on Friday.

If Dundee go the same way as their website, they're doomed. Click Here for dundeefc.co.uk
