Back in the 1960s and 1970s any Inverness team versus Elgin City was an intense rivalry. A lot more so than Ross County. Playing Elgin was the big match of the season because at this time Egin were one of the best teams around in the Highland League along with Caley and Thistle, so games were always close and tight affairs. I think the intense rivalry between Inverness and Elgin stemmed from Secondary School football and other school sports through the 60s and 70s where Elgin Academy were always desperate to beat Inverness schools. The games and sports against them had a hard edge to them. Again they and the Inverness schools dominated football and sports in the Highlands so any games or meetings between them were close and hard fought. Elgin fans were also very proud that in those days Elgin was classified as a city while Inverness was still classified as a town something they took pleasure in reminding us. I always had the impression that Elgin people had a chip on their shoulder when it came to dealing with people from Inverness.

From what was said at Ferguson's media conference it looks like Rooney is a lost cause. Time to move on for both parties. Doubt Rooney will be able to turn it on for United from now on, no matter how hard he tries in an effort to make himself look valuable to other clubs. Big question is, would you keep playing him in the team given that he has said he wants to move on or do you focus on other players who are more committed? Knowing Ferguson I think it will be the latter and this is what has been happening over the last few weeks.

Go to Liverpool and swap him for Gerrard and Torres. That would be a good deal.

SMEE - Have advocated the following solution in the past and think it is truly the only way forward for Scotland in the future if we are to have any chance of qualifying for World Cup Finals or European Championships -- Create a North Atlantic qualifying region consisting of Iceland, Faeroe Islands, Greenland ( assist/fund them to enter as a full FIFA rep ), Northern Ireland and Scotland. Top two teams in the group qualify for any finals. This puts us up against countries/competition very similar in capability and aspiration to our own levels. This would give us a genuine opportunity to qualify for finals in the future, where we can then be absolutely tanked by all the other finalists. The other alternative is to create separate competitions for genuine third rate teams like Scotland - so we have a chance to win a little trophy and some medals

IMH - don't think they were drunk really, it looks to me like typical Sneckie girl tactics to try and impress and pick up some foreign tourists. From memory when I was young, for some parts of the town, this was normal behaviour.

Hi Alex, When I was working as a manager in North Sea Oil, back in the late seventies, someone returned from sick leave with a Doctors note signed by Dr Donald Duck. From memory the Doctor was from somewhere like Mallaig. My first thought and also those of my colleagues was to carpet the guy for taking the p..s but then I thought - naw - better check this one out, you never know, could happen, stranger things than this happened on a daily basis where I worked at the time. Still remember phoning the practice number and speaking to the receptionist or whoever was taking calls and we had a good old laugh about it. She fielded these types of calls on a regular basis and said it was a fun part of her job talking to employers who phoned to check it out if Dr Donald Duck was kosher. Went on to receive many sick certificates from Dr Donald Duck as we employed a fair number of people from Mallaig in the end. Good, hard, reliable workers from memory.
