There's two big shiny water-horses not too far away to try and climb over.

I see that both Angus Beith and Sean Welsh have not been given squad numbers yet. Is this because they still have to prove their fitness before getting a contract and a shirt? I also noted that Daniel Mackay was wearing the number 23 against Hearts on Sunday yet he is still listed as 27 in the official squad. Owain Fon Williams is still in the squad too.?

Too late for me. With uncertainty about tickets we decided to head straight back to Inverness from Ayr and not via Edinburgh. Will just watch it on BT Sport.

Yeah, sure. The last time I had one of these was 1976.

Bad crack that I can't be a "late" walk up to Tynie on Sunday to buy a ticket for the away end. I'm in Ayr on holiday just now and had a late change of plans due to an offer to stay with friends in Edinburgh on Saturday night before heading back to Inverness on Sunday. I had therefore looked into going to this game but with the ticketing set up it seems that I can't. It's not as if it will be a sell out at the home or away ends. How f'n annoying is that? Their loss! ??

Presumably Andrew Irving was registered before their game with Cowdenbeath. He started the game but was subbed after 35 mins.

Yes, concentrate on what we have to do and let others around us fail or get deducted points. Would be nice to finish top though and into the knock out stages.

Gary was a second half sub for a guy called Mugabi. Alex Fisher also came on and scored 2.

No need to worry about paying for parking as soon there will be nothing left of the car parks to use on match days. While the circus may be a temporary 'let', there are other areas used for parking vehicles for hire, a food kiosk, car wash and valeting service, and now numerous portakabins between the home car park and the Kessock Bridge. It seems to be turning the land into a free for all, not what it was intended for and is starting to make the place look untidy. I also hope that someone has advised the Club (Hon Sec hopefully?) that planning permission is required for these other commercial lets if they occupy the land for 28 days or more in a calendar year.

What a farce but doesn't change my plans for Wednesday - I was always going to see Paul Simon at The Hydro. So wasn't giving a monkey's chuff about playing the Dons or watching Ingerland. Two better teams playing the night before anyway.

That must have been the Cher song, about the girl who was born in the wagon of a travelling show. I think we beat County 3-1 in a Friday night game live on tv about 5 or 6 years ago. I did think at the time that (the) DJ would get into trouble for that.

Are the detailed fixtures not due out today? No sign of them on the SPFL site yet.

Noticed the baby and toddler kits in the display truck. Got me thinking about one for my 20 months old granddaughter but at £25 just for the top she will quickly grow out of .......... mmmm. Also nothing bigger than a 2XL in the home top available just now. That's probably the equivalent of a large in UK sizes. They have up to 5XL (or 3XL) in away tops though.

I'd be happy with the Palace home and away kits too. As said above, just replace the yellow piping with black.

Rumours about Billy going to Hibs next season. So if Lennon quits too that will be them doomed to return to the Championship.?

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised by this situation. More signs of letting things slide. So much for engaging with the fans.

Well it will be like the announcement at the end of last season, too late to save things again. If it's the big A word then it will confirm what I said more than a year ago and that the slide into that situation was allowed to happen by the previous Board because our lofty ambitions in the Premier League could not be sustained.

I was speaking to a Pars fan on Sunday morning who was in the South stand yesterday and he told me that their player dived. It certainly looked soft from our angle.

Potential fixture farce looming if not played tomorrow night then.

A bit of a stroll in the park tonight. Brechin were pretty woeful and it should have been a lot more if more final passes in the box had found a man with space and comically Chalmers' backside not got in the way of one goalbound shot. It was good to see others get a run out with Calder, Chalmers and Seedorf doing well. Austin also showed more promise towards the end after he came on. The big worry is the injury to Coll Donaldson, which looked similar to the one he was out with recently. He seemed to catch his studs in the heavy turf when the condition of the pitch started to deteriorate with all the rain and sleet that fell most of today. As said above stage one completed; getting distance between us and Dumbarton. Stage two in progress; overhauling Falkirk with a game still in hand. Stage three is to start reeling in QotS and others above from this Saturday on. The only way is up now!

Spoil sport. Just when the posters were having some fun too.?

I suspect the same team that has started the last two matches will start again v Brechin. That 11 were the only players in the Aquadome competition pool this morning undergoing water resistance training. They were noisy, lively and the banter was good which was great to hear - their spirits are obviously high with this current run of form.

Aside from the mystery "incident" in the main stand, the mini pitch invasion after the goal did bother me in terms of the possible repercussions for the club.

Yes, I agree with the above. An all round better display than Saturday, but I still think the midfielders need to create better chances for our strikers to kill off the opposition. Austin and Oakley didn't get much service tonight and along with Mackay had to drop back to get the ball. A good step in the right direction though - step 1 in moving closer to the top end play off zone. I'd settle for a point from St Mirren although 3 would be a great bonus. Then that would set us up for taking 3 from next Tuesday's game and opening up a gap between us and Falkirk.

Oops one too many celebratory drinks or predictive text. You know what I meant. It's the Fourth nay the Firth, or more precisely the County of Ross. Was driving through Perth after the match listening to Off the Ball and a discussion about the slightly delayed "live" transmission on Alba. Tam Cowan said that Vigurs had missed the penalty on the live radio broadcast before he'd taken it on Alba.
