It's on my Santa list already!

£712k transfer budget?

Updates on this today on BBC Gossip: Youth director Stevie Campbell last night quit Dundee United just days before a club hearing over allegations of bullying and racism. (Daily Record) And Campbell, who was suspended from his duties earlier this season, intends to take the Tannadice club to an employment tribunal. (Daily Mail)

What Sneckboy says. You don't count goals that are cancelled because of an infringement, therefore you don't count misses that are cancelled because of an infringement.

As a rather belated footnote to this, it has just struck me that it must be very unusual that we have been knocked out of two tournaments by the end of October. The last time it happened was 13 years ago when we were beaten 1-0 at Berwick in the Challenge Cup and put up a good fight losing 4-2 at Celtic Park in the League Cup.

That was only a practice shot.

On the penalty retake, one of the match reports says "Tansey displayed intestinal fortitude to accept the responsibility a second time". Would he even have had a choice? I always assumed that the original taker had to do the retake as well, but perhaps not.

The win is all the more remarkable given that he was only 7th reserve to even take part, and had to get a visa sorted out at very short notice when the late invite eventually came.

How bizarre. He's an Italian match official who was on duty as a linesman last night in Bari. Are we really that desperate for players?

Correct, but so was Storey, so it would have been a retake if Tansey had scored as well!

Elements of good fortune with the first two but Vigurs, take a bow!

First time this season that the players have earned chips at Auchterarder! In fact it's 9 months since we last got a league win in the West - although there were a couple of decent cup results in that time.

Hope the injuries to Christie and Storey aren't bad ones. We've had more than our fair share of bad luck this season without adding two more of our best players to the injury list.

Stupendous result, particularly given the circumstances!

You been drinking?! I've no doubt Deano gave 100% but that ain't enough when you simply lack the skills to succeed at our level.

Pretty much nil. When the Manager is unavailable, the Assistant Manager takes over and it would be nuts to do otherwise!

From SFA: Case 3 Alleged Party in Breach: John Hughes (Manager, Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC) Disciplinary Rule allegedly breached: Disciplinary Rule 72: 1) In that following on from the Scottish Professional Football League Premiership match between Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC and Dundee FC upon 29th August 2015, in a television interview you criticised the performance of the Match Referee in such a way as to indicate incompetence on his part. 2) In that following on from the Scottish Professional Football League Premiership match between Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC and Dundee FC upon 29th August 2015, in interviews with the written press you criticised the performance of the Match Referee in such a way as to indicate incompetence on his part Outcomes: 1) Breach denied and not proven 2) Breach admitted Sanction(s): 1) N/A 2) Suspended for two matches (one match immediately and one match to take effect in the event of a further breach of Disciplinary Rule 72 before the end of season 2015/16.)

Only local press as far as I can see. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/inverness-caledonian-thistle/729219/hughes-set-to-discover-fate-following-referee-comments/

The Hughes case is supposed to be taking place today. The 1 October hearing was postponed because Yogi had a dental appointment, it was then rescheduled for a couple of weeks ago but no reason was announced for that one not taking place either - hair stylist appointment, perhaps? So today's the day. Will there be fireworks?

If he goes to the Euros, will ICT get some money? I'm sure we did when it was Niculae in 2008.

Sho-Silva has gone back down south for treatment, no idea when he is due to return. I can only recall hearing Hughes say prior to the 1-1 at Tannadice that Silva had a knock but would be back for the game v Livingston (which was played 22nd September).

It's just incredible that after a great run before the last international break, in the space of 15 days we can then lose timidly to 4 mediocre sides (Dundee, County, Kille, St J), with 3 of those games at home.

Storey out, as expected. Gary Warren makes the bench, unexpected. Won't help us today, but once he's fully fit we'll have cause for a bit more optmism about the rest of the season.

I wouldn't say "Would you like me to p1ss on you to put those flames out?" to Billy Dodds.

.....in the car park?!
