What are the precedents for punishments/remedies for fielding an ineligible player in a Scottish league match? Usually it happens in cup ties rather than league.

I was referring to Utd's game this evening v Partick!

I see neither of the players in question were in Utd's squad for tonight's game.

Gil Bloominshite was the one most commonly used.

Just be in the squad, I believe. But he would also have to be contracted to ICT at the time of the tournament, and I don't think OFW is unless he signs an extension between now and then.

Get a room!

But the comeback is on!

0-3, getting embarrassing.

...but are 2-0 up.

Between them they have 68 goals for ICT, which is considerably more than the whole ICT XI have scored for ICT!

Flack, I reckon.

He could yet be managing Raith in the Premiership!

Ex-ICT OTJ at CJT?

There will be at least 2 away fans, I know a couple who are travelling up for the game. At first I couldn't imagine why they would bother, then I remembered that the alternative for them was a Friday night in Dundee.

After initially wondering if Jamie Vardy was in the Fleetwood side that played us in 2010 (he wasn't, he signed for them in 2011) I've been trying to think of connections (however tenuous!) between us and Leicester City. Billy Mckay, Johnny Hayes, Lee Cox and Eric Odhiambo all started out at Leicester Caledonian FC sold Kevin MacDonald to Leicester in the early 80's, leading to a friendly between the sides which Leicester won 4-0 (but we should have had a penalty!). For me and quite a few other Invernesians, I'm sure, Leicester were the first English team I ever saw play. Kasper Schmeichel has played at TCS, for Falkirk Best of all in terms of tenuousness - a former flatmate of Riyad Mahrez has played at TCS! Matthias Pogba for Partick (they played together at Quimper). What other loose connections are there?

I wonder how many times Thomson has asked himself how things might have turned out for Utd if he'd paid the very reasonable sum of compensation ICT were asking for Hughes?

Billy Mckay, Edward Ofere and John Rankin were all relegated with Dundee Utd tonight. Ofere, who had a great strike rate for us after signing mid season, finally got his first goal for Utd tonight. Since leaving ICT, Mckay has been relegated twice in 15 months.

None of the parties involved ever said he was! Just that he hadn't been offered anything at that time, as there were other signing priorities to be sorted before a final decision would be made. Hope he is staying, and more importantly, hope he regains his place as one of the first picks on the team sheet (cos there's no point giving him another contract and then not playing him, obviously).

That's only the 3rd time this season that we've managed 2 consecutive league wins - on both previous occasions, the 2nd game was against County so was pretty much a given! Hopefully we can make it 3 in a row against a Utd side who may well be officially relegated by the time the game takes place.

Nice to see us be the beneficiary of poor passing at the back!

Plumbing the depths?

Raven hasn't left! Oh, and I think that might be Tremarco's tattooed arm?

I'm as disappointed as anyone at this news - but at this stage I won't lambast the manager, because I don't know the reasons behind it. Budget constraints, unreasonable demands, a much better right back already signed on PCA? Who knows, but I hope there is a darn good reason.

More to the point, it was the striker's first goal ever, at his 4th professional club!

Or maybe, like in England, the Premiership sides like us just don't take the competition seriously.
