This is just the game we need to get a morale boosting win from which we can kick on and climb back up the league over the next few weeks. Nothing less than a clear 3 goals and none conceded will do nicely but I would be happy with the same score as 6 years ago.

Re the photo, I'm more impressed with Richie having shaved that awful beard off than by the new signings.

Cheers to you and RossP for the advice on the various hostelries. As we're hoping to arrive around noon and looking for food and real ale we are minded to try the Muckle Cross and/or the Drouthy Cobbler.

On the unprecedented theme this is my first competitive match against Elgin on their own turf. So to get back to one of the Immortal one's original questions, what hostelry are we planning to take over? I am not so familiar with pubs in the place but I know that some of my contacts from Moray Bowling Club drink in the Ionic.

Gary Miller and David Badwillie too?

The only thing that performance did for me was help me make my mind up not to go and purchase a ticket for the game in Dingwall on Saturday. I hope they prove me wrong but no way do I want to witness a thrashing from our local rivals. I'd rather spend a less stressful afternoon doing something else.

Well my information came from someone close to a source within the Club. That was the position last night and came with the rider that every effort was being made to try and address it before they had to resort to asking for a postponement. It looks as if STV did a bit more digging to check out the situation rather than taking what I had been told at face value. As said above all should become clearer in the next 21 hours and 21 minutes.

We have a goalkeeper injury crisis! OFW and Ryan injured, Cammy Mackay back on loan at Elgin and Daniel Hobban also injured. Only available keeper is a 16 year old youth player. This could see the Hamilton game being postponed.

I won't repeat much of the negatives expressed above as many sum up how I felt. So disgusted was I that I left the ground after the third goal with about 8 minutes to go, something that I don't normally do. In leaving early to find my car in the car park this brought me into contact with many of the St Johnstone young soccer casuals, the Fair City Unity (scumbags). They too left early to go round to our end of the ground, with the intention of spoiling for a fight. Seeing what was about to unfold I spoke to stewards and also let them know my feelings about their behaviour during the match. I mentioned that our stewards would not tolerate that from our fans. I got a sort of explanation along the lines that as they are contained to one area of the ground and watched it was okay, but not in my book. I trust that there was no trouble with our young fans as I might have heard about it on here. Hopefully my warning to the stewards worked. This is the same crowd of youngsters that were misbehaving outside our stadium at the end of August and on their journey back along Longman Road into the city centre. I for one don't like to see this and feel that it needs to be stamped out and I'm minded to write to St Johnstone FC about it. I doubt these youngsters try that when their team are up against clubs with bigger supports - they'd certainly get a good kicking if they tried anything outside Ibrox or Celtic Park.

Thanks for that folks. Here's hoping we can get 3 points for a change.

Looking to make my first away game of the season this Saturday. Does anyone know the set up for entry? Is it the same for all away games, that we need to buy tickets in advance? Can I buy them at Mcdairmid Park on the day? Don't want to get caught out like I did for the Hearts game this time last year when I was down that way for the weekend having bought tickets in advance and then the game was called off.

Play like they did against Motherwell and the next 4 games are all winnable - Dundee, St Johnstone, Hamilton and Kilmarnock. Onwards and upwards.

Conned the ref for both.

I like the look of our team line up today - more attacking midfield? The home car park filled up with Dons fans. What's that about?

That pretty much sums up how I felt too. It would have been more insulting to the Brit loving hoards of Rancid fans if a Scottish Saltire had been displayed instead of an Irish Triclour. As well as the sectarian bile they were singing there was a fair amount of anti Scottish stuff in there too. I wasn't pleased there were so many of them in amongst the home crowd either but I suppose taking money off them is payback to our club's coffers.

All predicated on major road improvements, notably the grade separation of that horrible roundabout junction. There was an "urban village" plan many years ago to take advantage of the waterfront location but limited ability to attract major investors put paid to that.

Brilliant guys! I should stay away more often. Would be good if they can emulate or surpass the score in the last game against them.

Sounds like Dungdee getting too much possession and shots on goal just now. Hope we're not sitting too deep on our lead.

Wow, what a start. I'm following the game on my iPad from south of Vancouver. Glad I got up in time for 7am start here.

Very pleased to have got something out of the game after gifting them 2 breakaway goals, not getting that penalty, surviving a second half onslaught and being subjected to a range of Irish anthems. It was amazing how their travelling morons fell silent when King, Billy and Fisher, Alex scored. As for Pat Nevin talking about the penalty claim on Sportscene last night, he still speaks about us as if he's never got over our 2015 Scottish Cup semi final win over the God's given right to win every trophy in Scotland mob. GIRU the lot of them!!

Absolutely and blasting out from the PA system too. After all a couple of seasons ago when we played County on a Friday night the teams came out before the start to Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves by Sonny and Cher.

Having looked at the photos on caleyjags.com I'm now certain they were at the St Johnstone end. They were being watched by the stewards when they surrounded one of the buses outside the ground. They later appeared out of Henderson Road right in front of me as I approached from the ground. Human Rights or not I found these little neds intimidating enough to warrant recording evidence of their bad behaviour. I also took video footage along Longman Road but deleted the lot from my phone after they calmed down and seemed to pose no more of a threat by the time they got to Rose Street.

If these are the same youngsters that misbehaved after the St Johnstone game then we need to stamp out this nonsense right away. I thought they were Perth casuals at first and took some photos of them whilst walking back along Longman Road into town in the event that they caused trouble. I did see one of them being very abusive to a motorist at the entrance to Lorimers and thought about going into Burnett Road Police Station to report it. However, I thought this would be a waste of time and decided to continue on my walk into town. It does seem that someone needs to keep an eye on them for future matches though. I wasn't at Pittodrie on Saturday but those I saw after the St Johnstone game were mostly dressed in black, no ICT colours and some tried to cover their faces with hoodies and scarves.
