Back to the top of the U20 League!

Hibs are much improved since Terry and Mo went there. Acknowledging that isn't a crime.

I don't think it's cowardly, CELTIC1CALEY3. He's effectively being the opposite of a coward by leaving a 'safe job'. Any of the Alloa players would jump at the chance of playing at a higher level. They won't think anything negative about their boss moving on, because they would do the same, if the opportunity arose. It's the same for us all in employment. Loyalty to our current employer dissipates when a better offer comes in. I don't, for one minute, believe Hartley has resigned because he doesn't feel he's up to the job. He's got an offer in the pipeline!

I suspect, rather than being a 'looser' (sic), he's quit in advance of a bigger job on the horizon.

Hey, steady on, Westhill1. I agree with your post apart from the 'almost guaranteed' a place in the last eight'! Surely a bit presumptive?! It's a classic banana-skin cup tie. It'll be a tough game down there against a team with nothing to lose and who are in good form. They've scored in their last 24 games including a recent draw at Ibrox. They also took 3 off Hibs at Easter Road earlier this season, so they know the way to goal.

Not sure if that's necessarily correct as Devine is around the same height as Warren ,while Tremarco adds more height than Shinnie!

Jeeeez...so I did!! And to think I spent ages looking at the calculation! The error was staring me in the face! You're so cruel not telling me it was a typo and not my calculation!!!!

Please, Yngwie, show me the error of my ways! I don't follow,does my arithmetic not add-up? 100 folk in the electorate, say for simplicity. 70 turn out to vote = 70% turn-out. Therefore, 30% didn't vote. And...of the 70 folk that voted, 3/5ths (60%) voted NO and 2/5ths (40%) voted YES. 60% of 70 people voting No = 42 people. 40% of 70 people voting YES = 28 people.

I know what you're alluding to, DoofersDad. A low turnout would be to the YES campaign's advantage due to the dynamic you stated, suggesting complacency/apathy from the status-quo brigade. It must be remembered that the Conservatives 'won' the last General Election with only 23% of the electorate voting for them. But obviously there are far more options to vote for there as opposed to just YES or No in the referendum. Your example of Independence from only 20% is perhaps a little on the low side as that would assume a very poor turnout of just 40%. I can see this getting around 70% come September. I can't see either camp getting an overall majority so even in defeat the YES camp can claim a 'moral victory' due to there being less than half the electorate actually voting to remain in the Union. A realistic example could be. Turnout 70%. Yes 40% of votes cast. No 60% of votes cast. That translates into Voted YES = 42% of electorate. Voted No = 28% of electorate. Didn't vote = 30% of electorate. A 'hollow win' for the NO's, giving Salmond grounds for a re-match!

Well, Billy is the leading all-time scorer in the North derby, with 6 goals in 8 games...obviously likes playing against the Dons!

Incredible to look how the careers of both ex-Hibs wonder-kids Derek Riordan and Garry O'Connor have panned out. Two talented players in their youth, recognised by the Scotland national team but ultimately underperformed to the extent that when they should be at the peak of their careers they're scrambling about looking at clubs like bottom of the Championship table Morton - at best, if anything at all. Too much money and adulation at a young age with more front-page headlines for assaults and drugs than back-page football achievements. Sad.

You don't half stumble across some amazing stuff on the internet, Yngwie! Interesting article that. Surprised the salary for managing the national team of Trinidad & Tobago pays so much. At the monthly salary quoted, it equates to an equivalent annual salary of £246,000.

We used to have a player of that name (John Scott) back in the 90's!

English League One Filipe Morais (penalty) (Stevenage 2-0 Swindon Town) Northern Irish Premiership Curtis Allen (Glenavon 2-3 Glentoran)

He played 9 games for us and we were top of the league from games 1 to 9. Since his injury, we've dropped to mid-table. Coincidence?

He scored the only penalty he took for us! I'll update the 'penalty-kick takers?' thread appropriately if he signs! He'd currently be up-there on 100%, alongside Doran (2/2), Vincent (1/1) and Draper (1/1).

With due respect, this business of football matches being used as outlets for grief, appreciation or whatever is getting a bit ridiculous. And the 'minutes played significance' is ridiculous. Sorry if I sound callous but it's a football match. There are other ways of showing respect such as attending the funeral. The tragic deaths recently of youth players is different and I can understand Remembrance Day as a time to stop, respect and wonder what may have been, but that was for hundreds-of-thousands of men and women giving their lives to secure the future of our country. However, the passing of an individual fan is obviously a sad time for those who know him - but should not necessarily be acknowledged by a round-of-applause - particularly at the minute signifying his age. Mikey Diamond got no recognition in this respect nor would he have expected or wanted it. I think the club got it right by not commemorating his passing in this manner because once the precedent is set, where do you draw the line?

Sounds like another Curtis Allen!

It would be blow to lose James Vincent - especially to Hibs! He was an ever-present, integral part of our spectacular start to the season. Perhaps the Terry Butcher interest is behind our apparent move for Greg Tansey? I'd be surprised if we 'escaped' the winter transfer-window unscathed...but that's us midway through January and all is still intact - and Billy's still ours!

Inverness Courier reporting that the proposed move for Tansey could be a permanent deal rather than a loan deal.

Nice, but who is our no. 23? I think it may, ironically, be Liam Fox - before he went on to become a Livi legend!

I starting think it might be closer than I had initially thought. The 'YES' campaign could get close to 40% but 40/60 would still represent a comfortable 'win' for the 'No' camp.
