Huns game is Tuesday 16th Sept, if we get through that, the Falkirk game is either Tue 23rd or Wed 24th Not sure if it's been confirmed that we (or Rangers) would be expected to play that game the following week, will see if I can get more info tomorrow.

With Champions League matches on that week the match can't be televised in any UEFA member country.

Tue 16th Sept @ 7:45pm

Having had a quick squint through the rules I can't find anything which makes provision for having the draw under such circumstances. The only thing I can think would be a way round it would be to replace the "Killie" and "Rangers/ICTFC" balls with "Killie/ICTFC" and "Killie/Rangers" balls....then depending on the outcome of our game delete as applicable.

Clearly

Technically it was a closed doors bounce game....but that's a bit hard to enforce at Stolen Public Land Park.

Nope

James Vincent has been capped for England C and I think Raven has some English youth caps as well. Seem to remember talk of Vincent switching to Northern Ireland but he wasn't eligible. The James Vincent for Northern Ireland thing was an in-joke which The Sun (I think) ran with

I don't think Motherwell will give McCall the funds for a bid for Christie.... Motherwell don't have the funds to be bidding for anyone....was an article over the summer saying they were looking at a £400,000 shortfall for this season. Any wonder Dempster jumped ship?

I don't like to disagree dad, but I'm not having this. Mulgrew, Commons and Griffiths are all established Scotland players. Ambrose was at the world cup, Zaluskas, Pukki, Bitton and Johansen have all played for their countries. Even one of the subs (MacGregor) has just got a call up so this was no "severely weakened" team. Celtic have a massive squad who I presume train together day in day out in various permutations. In the second half, we passed them off the park. Not my point of view but that of a significant portion of the media - usually grudging in their praise who are recognising that the style of play, regardless of the manager, is attractive and beginning to show signs of being successful. If you think that this is as good as it gets because that's where we are settled at and others will progress as far can I suggest that this team are still learning, we have Foran to return if required and we will improve. Perhaps you recognise this point in your final sentence, but they seem opposing points of view. You are correct in saying that Brill was excellent, but had we converted chances from Tansey, Ross and Christie (all of which were narrowly missed) and got a stonewall penalty in the first half, your score analysis would have been turned on it's head. There was criticism of the performance against Dundee, but I'm not sure that you can call it significant. We drew against a team that set out to defend for 80 odd minutes and did so very well. We didn't lose the game and had the lions share of pressure. The only thing lacking in the performance was a goal. Is that worthy of "significant" criticism? On the subject of eating humble pie, does that really need to be done? We are all ICT fans here. Sure Hughes was "given time" by some last year and this years judgement point seems to be slipping from October to Christmas to the end of the season, which is where it should have been all along. Even if we lose to Kilmarnock on Saturday, my personal viewpoint won't change. It certainly won't change any more than it did about Butcher's team that was dismantled by St. Johnstone at a similar time of last season, although that display showed how tactically limited we were at the time and was more worthy of concern than any result this season. I'm glad you enjoyed the game, so did I. However, I wish that more than 5600 or so had enjoyed it. We (the regulars, the committed fans etc.) need to be shouting this from the rafters to get more bodies into the stadium to get behind the team, bolster the finances and allow us to kick on. One final point, remember the last time we played a "weakened" Celtic team - we got cuffed because we didn't have the belief that we could beat them. Sure do now. What he said.

Not sure of the final outcome (if there is one yet) or if this will happen, but I do know for certain that it was being looked at and discussions were being had.

Just been busy and not had a chance to pull through the highlights from the SPFL YouTube Channel. Take a look on https://www.youtube.com/spfl

I'm not a big fan of pipe bands, but bring them on....the more the merrier.

...and if we're winning when you're not there....don't be heading to TCS either

The obvious/witty answer to that would land me in so much trouble.....

I think football has created a problem that it will likely never rid itself of due to segregation. In any other sport you can go along to the game, mingle with opposition fans before, during & after without any real hassle (always get the odd incident, but segregation doesn't stop that anyway). For years football fans have been told "we can't put you together because you're all animals and can't be trusted". As a result people have started to conform to that assessment and even the hint that there's an opposition fan in the "home end" (or vice versa) sends them over the edge....probably doing more to create a problem than if they just ignored it and concentrated on cheering their own team along. Wearing a football shirt and waving a scarf isn't a criminal offence and isn't something that should be deemed offensive...so what does it matter where they/we/anyone does it? If they are causing REAL aggro, then they should be treated the exact same as any home fan in the home end should be treated if they do the same. Is it not better to show a bit of the Highland Hospitality that we're famous for by taking a "live and let live" approach? Demonstrate to the authorities who put these ridiculous rules in place that football fans are perfectly capable of getting along....just like the fans of every other sport? Even better still...use it as an excuse to get up and make more noise to try and drown them out. Imagine the atmosphere we could generate at games if fans did that instead of sitting there getting all offended over nothing!!!

Marsella is the type of guy who'd go watch 2 drunks kicking a can down the street if he didn't have a game he could be at....so wouldn't read anything into him being at our game yesterday.

What was (is) throwing me is that the intro is fine. As the video is rendered out with both intro and video together it should be uniform when uploading....however it was only dropping the right track for the video part of the file on upload (rendered file definitely stereo). Have stepped up the bitrate on the audio when rendering and it's now uploading with a fully working stereo track for the whole video. Appreciate the feedback....and (fingers crossed) future videos shouldn't have the same issue. We do sometimes have to use mono (our handheld mics are mono), but that should/will be on both channels.

Not sure what's going on....but here's the stereo track showing quite clearly for me. Have re-rendered and it's outputting ok....will do some testing to see if it's happening during upload to YouTube.

The microphone is definitely plugged in and working right....hence why it is actually coming out in stereo (as I showed in my last post). The mic is camera mounted so the interviewer standing on the left will come across more on the left channel....which is as it should be given the interviewee is looking in that direction.

Definitely outputting in stereo on my laptop....as can be seen from the monitor on the right.

Rehash of the old story/rumour from the end of last year?

So basically a bunch of PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLERS struggled doing this and you are only giving £100 for it, i doubt many people could get it in a boot of a car from 7 yards never mind 67!!!!! Must be nice to have so much money that £100 is such an insignificant amount! That's not what he said. He said that doing something that a professional footballer can't is worthy of a bigger prize. No where does he say that £100 is a trivial sum Cheers bud, i didn't see the point in defending myself, Also CaleyD if the person who got closest was wearing football boot then chances are only a small minority could get close to winning the £100 Take some boots along was the point.... Now....back in your box...!!!

No where does he say that £100 is a trivial sum I know....just getting the craic with young Mr Dawson (and he knows it).

For those playing close attention....the gentleman who got closest was wearing football boots. Something to keep in mind if you're lucky enough to be chosen in future.
