To be fair to the Beeb, every media outlet has Draper on 6 yellows. That also includes the databases of Soccerway, Soccerbase etc and even the official SPFL match report from the Aberdeen game has Draper as being booked. The most trustworthy stats though, should come from this and the official ICTFC site - but, which also have Draper on 6! Devine listed as being on 5 'everywhere'. Mistaken identity? Probably not, as he was seemingly booked for dissent, while Draper's was for a foul. It appears that despite all reports from the Dons game that we had 3 players cautioned, it's likely that it was actually 4. There's also the possibility that Willie Collum forgot to include the Draper booking in his report...but, that's just speculation on my part! A confusing mess!

The SFA Disciplinary update has no suspension listed for Draper. Good news!

F/T Celtic 4-0 Inverness CT

Celtic leading 3-0 after 32 minutes.

That soup reference is brilliant, 12th Man!

Definitely him! Can't believe folk condone this! Colours changed here - think of it as a Swiss League game, with no relevance to us...or perhaps a Dundee United player seeking to get one of our guys sent-off! Sho-Silva.avi

Good report, Alex! Surprised there's not been more 'reaction' to this. Great news! I'm pleased he's gone - no place at our club for spittters or injury-feigning cheats. (hang your heads in shame, those who defended his diving antics - and there were many. Now that he's no longer 'one of ours' do you still think it fair if a player goes down 'because the ref would otherwise have missed 'it''? )

Talking of Sho-Silva, I wonder if the Stirling game is the last chance for him to 'make his mark'? Have to assume he'll be away. Haven't seen enough to of him to make a judgement, but I won't lose much sleep if he goes.

That was quite a goal! First time I've seen it - a sweet left-foot shot from some distance! I'd forgotten to look at the goals from that game, as intended - after, (I think) Mantis's post on here saying he'd been at the game and Baptie's goal was a cracker. Yes, it was Mantis, I remember now, as he also posted some photos. I don't know who plays for Wick, but I looked-up who the no.3 was that lost the ball - a player called Gary Manson. He seems to be Mr Wick Academy according to their website, who report he's been a regular with them for 16 consecutive seasons! And that was then...question when the player profiles were last updated!

So it may be Tattie bye?!

Tremarco's suspended. Incidentally, seven subs are permitted in the Scottish Cup.

No thanks! No club has taken him on for obvious reasons. There will be 'sympathisers' who'll claim he's paid-his-due, but if he ever returns to professional football, it will be to the huge detriment of that club's reputation. We're a club that likes to promote a family atmosphere and doesn't condone rape. Although I know you clearly weren't in your post, and were looking at a football perspective.

Well, I genuinely didn't expect Jim Calder to 'win' it when the poll commenced on 28th December! Although he was short of a majority win, almost one-third of the 79 voters opted for him. (I see Tony Reguero must have joined the forum in the past few days!) But, in all-seriousness, it whets-the-appetite for a potential series of Inverness Caledonian Thistle 'Dream Team' polls (for all positions, including Manager / assistant) - perhaps even line-up formation?! As mentioned in the opening post, a good opportunity to conduct that Poll (Dream Team) would be after the club have played 1000 competitive games - still a good bit away yet in real time...(currently on 944 competitive fixtures in all comps.) But, come the time, much thought will need to be given to the wording of the polls...maybe have a poll to decide! For example, favourite 'centre-half' could be Bobby Mann, best centre-half could be Gary Warren, and (a different category), most valuable contribution to Inverness CT, could be Grant Munro. (12 years at the club, team captain, an integral figure during the climb up the leagues etc) But, all that's for another day. Cheers to all who commented and voted in this 'keeper poll.

Seemingly, Edward Ofere has been released by his Turkish team, Boluspor, and is now without a club.

But 'our' figures for average points for bottom and 2nd-bottom do tally (mine are rounded up!) Edit: To avoid confusion, this comment was in reply to the CB post before the one directly above...

Some folk may remember this from last season! A very rough tool to 'calculate' predicted finish.
