That is fantastic news for the club. That money is a massive sum for us. Knowing that we don't have to pay it out will allow us extra funds to build on the current squad and offer extended/improved deals to existing members. What an excellent couple of weeks/months we've had!

Is it 5 yellows before you receive a one match suspension?

I think the refs are doing a fair and honest job, but as the Old Firm generally get more attacking play in a match; there will be more opportunities for them to be awarded penalties/dangerous free kicks et al. With every Old Firm away game being televised live, it also allows replay after replay of dodgy decisions until the media and public can jump to their own conclusions. It also doesn't help when the Old Firm players play act as often as they do, making refereeing even harder. See Lafferty v. Mulgrew/Aberdeen, Nakamura v. St Mirren, Lennon v. Juanjo/ICT, Lovenkrands v. Thomson/Celtic, McCulloch yesterday... the list goes on. It's up to the club to sort these clowns out, as they are making the referees difficult job even more impossible. Out of interest, does anyone still have the video/GIF of Juanjo v. Lennon? I remember it being posted last year and I forgot to bookmark/save it.

Attendances are down at every club, for reasons such as prices, team form, weather, lack of cash available in tough financial times... I don't think our attendance is down on previous seasons in the SPL, in fact it may even be a little higher. All that considering the reduction in away support on previous seasons e.g. Hamilton when they were up at the start of the season, The Dons failing to sell out the away end. Are the club still giving away tickets to local schools for the uncovered west stand?? When you see the attendances St Mirren and Hamilton are getting, I'm quite happy with ours. If the good form continues and the chances of a top 6 are cemented; then I imagine the crowds will continue to rise. A top 6 placing would be a huge financial boost to the club, with something like ?60-70k for each place higher we finish and the promise of 2 or 3 high home attendances in the final 5 games. Cash like this is invaluable in helping retain our best players.

With Tokely, Duncan and Foran picking up yellow cards, adding to the ones they have been given earlier in the season... surely a one match ban will be on the cards soon? As far as i'm aware, we still have the best discipline record this season. Could we get a European place from that???

I thought they had 6 months left on their deal when the Dons swooped? Which they kept quiet, so that the Dons would give us a higher sum to sign them.

Yes there are , Sir Ian Wood is rumoured to be taking over as Chairman . I didn't realise you were on speaking terms to everyone in Aberdeen RossP Not everyone, but I am on speaking terms with one of the caretaker bosses for Aberdeen, several of their first team, their Head of Youth Development and many of their Administration staff. Add that to the many Dons fans I work with, play football with and go for pints with; in addition to the Northsound/P&J Sports desk staff that my partner works with. Not one has ever mentioned this outlandish rumour about Sir Ian Wood becoming Chairman. Hell, even a quick search of AFC Chat brings up nothing about it! But then... you might have better connections than I.

New chairman willing to spend?? There are zero rumours in Aberdeen about that. Why would Milne leave now when in a few years he'll be able to turn Pittodrie into flats?

Sky Sports

- (many years from now) when you announce your retirement, what drink will you toast the end of your playing career with? - Have you ever had to appear as a goalkeeper before? *due to a sending off/injury, or even just in a 5aside kickabout. If so, are you any good between the sticks? - What is your favourite pub (or restaurant) in Inverness? - What is the best dressing room prank you've been involved in?

...at the rate which Keane seems to be losing his job at Ipswich?? I imagine Ipswich would be the only side other than Rangers who would be able to lure Terry away this season

Have you ever taken a penalty in a competitive match? If so, was it a goal?

What is your food of choice at the Auchterarder chippy after a match?

Could someone post a link up when it appears on iplayer??

By 'full calender' year, I mean the whole of 2010

Looking at the fixtures, if we get anything from Tynecastle on the 18th, it'll be a full calendar year unbeaten on the road!

'story's' - their spelling doesn't get any better does it!?

Also found the other goals... apologies if I'm not allowed to post these.

It's quite funny reading the Celtic messageboards to see how they took that equaliser My word they swear a lot

I particularly liked this one:

Tokely takes the corner? Overhead from Munro?? One day the press will recognise our players...

I wonder if Cox puts a 'strong' challenge in on that lad who crocked him the other month?

Surprising everyone in the ground by putting it in the opposite corner from the 6 or so he's placed in the keeper's right this season.

Notice the last sentence... Meanwhile, Caley Thistle?s on loan defender Kevin McCann has returned to Hibs to see a specialist about a knee problem. Quite happy with that, as Duff has looked very composed at RB in the games I've seen him play there. Also allows the impressive Duncan* and Cox to play in the middle, while Duff is in defence. *Is Duncan back from injury now??

He played for most of the teams in the North, but I don't think ICT was one of them...
