Pity about the live streaming. A number of Covid measures originally intended to be temporary have proved such a success that they have become permanent. With a bit more flexibility and imagination on the part of the football authorities, this could have been another.
-
Both are a menace.

Due to family commitments, I couldn't make the semi final but did make the replay at Pittodrie and, when Paul Ritchie gave us an early lead, was, for about 20 minutes, convinced that we were on our way to our first ever major final. Bit of a trudge back to the car that evening.
-
The trouble is everyone at our level is looking for a reliable goalscorer but those who have proved themselves such tend to be in demand at a higher level and command a salary outwith the reach of Championship clubs.
-
But also every penny. Getting out of the group stage and maybe landing a tie later on against either of the Old Firm or Aberdeen would be a boost in that regard. As with most things, there is a balance to be struck.
-
I will be more upset than ever if we end up yet again being beaten in the group stage by a Hearts team.

Doesn't bother me. I already subscribe to SKY Sports and BT Sports. I refuse to pay for another subscription channel and that also applies to the channel who have bought the rights to the Scotland games.

Welcome to the club.
-
Glad to see Shane being supported and offered a new contract. Personally and with great regret, I would not be offering Aaron a new contract. We have a very limited budget which, these days, would probably be better spent on recruiting someone younger, fitter and less injury prone.
-
A well deserved winner and if he continues to improve as he has been a definite candidate for player of the year next season.
-
Yes. Those few minutes at Srarks Park were the start of turning our season round and getting us oh so close. Very good luck to him for the future.
-
No. Just injecting an element of reality.

As well as leading to a potential loss of income it is sheer bad manners and an absence of basic courtesy towards dedicated fans who dig deep to help keep the club afloat in challenging circumstances. Shame on them.

If you want to start a petition to bring back Creamola Foam count me in. Nothing quite like a butterscotch Angel Delightful washed down with a raspberry Creamola Foam.

I used to bring flares into football grounds week after week in the 1970s but, as far as I am aware the only crimes I was comiting were against fashion and good taste. Back in the days when the circumstances of my trouser bottoms was twice that of my waist in stark contrast to the relative proportions these days.

A challenging group but one we are capable of qualifying from.

Only a week now until the postponed qualifer againt Ukraine. Usually when football fans complain that the whole World is against them it's sheer paranoia. However, next Wednesday it will be literally true and I suspect that, even subconsciously, the officials will be inclined to give 50/50 decisions in favour of Ukraine. It will be a hard fought encounter with Ukraine understandably motivated like never before but, whilst every single one of us has huge sympathy for that benighted country, we need to put that aside and be just as motivated. Great compassion and support for them in the stands but, for 90 minutes at least, letting none of it flow onto the pitch.

That's another fine mess that I've got into...
-
I largely agree with you apart from PPV. I don't think this has had a huge impact on either our home crowds or travelling support and does generate a net profit for the club. More importantly, it allows those who live too far from Inverness to make regular attendance practical those elderly fans and others with mobility issues and those who are ill to share the action live with their fellow fans. I doubt if the football authorities will agree but I personally would love to see that facility continued and enhanced.

One was a bit like Stan Laurel and the other one a dead ringer for Oliver Hardy.
-
I have to disagree. Anything that leaves a significant number of other fans uncomfortable or even frightened can never be a good thing. Football needs to be welcoming and inclusive to all and conduct like this, even if it does entertain and amuse some people ought not to be condoned.
-
His former club Blacburn Rovers would be a good option.
-
Great to see the new format. I was getting heartily sick of being beaten by Hearts at Tynecastle. Would be great to to make more progress in one of the major cup competitions than we seem to have in recent years.

For what it's worth, I disagree with those who suggest that Rooney was wrong to celebrate his goal so enthusiastically. These days players often have a dozen or more clubs in the course of their careers and, in my opinion, only owe loyalty to the club that they are playing for at any one time. Rooney was fully committed when he played for us and we miss him badly. However, he has been a St Johnstone player now for a number of seasons and a very influential one at that. He is perfectly entitled to celebrate with his team mates and in front of his own fans without intending or showing any disrespect to us. In my book, the only exceptions to that are true club legends, like in our case, Tokely or Munro who have moved on after very many seasons although they are becoming increasingly rare at all levels.

Well done to her and to you. It may not be what she might have been expecting but I am sure that she will find a visit to the Balmoral Stadium a much more pleasant experience than being abused and pelted with goodness knows what in the away section at Ibrox.
