Yes, I suppose so, but I still say Tobi 'bought' the red card for the Hearts player as the 'clenched fist' would not have knocked over a fly. Unacceptable gamesmanship by Tobi in my book. If Gary Cornish goes down as easily as that in his big fight tomorrow, the fight will be over within 30 seconds!

Great result after a dire first half. Liked Storey, he looked quite quick and took his goal well. Maybe he'll be the finisher we've been missing. What great work by Christie for Vincent's goal too. Pleased for Tansey that he re established himself and got MOM after a couple of below par performances. Only downside for me was our other new boy, Tobi Sho-Silva getting the Hearts player sent off. Many of us still remember how we felt when scum bag Neil Lennon did something similar to Juanjo many years ago. So, for me, Tobi can feck off back to Charlton if he thinks that is acceptable. Apart from that a great win which should do our confidence no end of good.

Andy MacAskill is a new name to me Sneckboy. When did he play for us? Again, like someone a few weeks ago who I didn't know, he doesn't appear on our all time squad list. I assume that means he was a youngster on schoolboy forms? Or, of course, the all time squad list could be wrong!

Just noticed that Tarmo Kink scored his 5th of the season for Levadia Tallin in Estonia last week-end (28 Aug). Maybe we should have hung on to him?

Half a million doesn't seem like very much, especially compared with the likes of Gauld a year or so ago. But, with getting him back for the season and a loan striker as well (Stokes I hope with his previous connection to Yogi) then I think we are in the beggars can't be choosers area, and I think I would take it. We all knew he would be away sooner or later anyway. Let's hope Ryan and the loanee forward can both have good seasons for us and help lift our league position into respectability. Win the Cup again too, of course.

29 Aug 2015 Highland League scorers today were :- G Wood (Formantine 9 - Rothes 0) D Khutsishvili (Forres 1 - Cove 5) D Park (Forres 1 - Cove 5)

29 Aug 2015 Scottish Premier A Rooney ( Partick 0 - Aberdeen 2) SL 1 A Barrowman (Albion 3 - Brechin 1) Welsh Premier J Oswell (Newton 3 - Haverfordwest 0) Also, in EL 1, Tom Aldred scored an og in Blackpool's 4-0 thumping by Walsall.

What is it with us and conceding late goals? That's 4 points given away in recent weeks which could have seen us in a comfortable league position. I seem to remember a season or two ago we were prone to giving away late goals. Time we tightened up and held on to these precious leads.

Yes, same thoughts from me also. I think it will be very difficult for Doran to fight his way back into a Hughes side after a long lay off. Changing the subject, I assume all our players are insured. Anyone know how it works? Is only a percentage of player's wages covered? When does it kick in? Is there a time or money limit? The insurer must need ongoing proof that a player is genuinely injured as otherwise I could see this area being open to abuse. Just interested as I have no idea how this works.

My old Mum always used Duncan Fraser's butcher shop in Queensgate. On the rare occasion I was with her when she walked into town to get her 'messages', I well remember her shopping for mince by selecting a piece of prime beef on display in the shop, and then insisting that it be minced in front of her. She didn't want to be fobbed off with any old fatty stuff they had pre minced in the back of the shop!.

Also Sam Winnall scored with an assist from Marley Watkins in Barnsley's win at Millwall tonight.

Wonderful pictures.

One I missed in recent weeks is Tarmo Kink who has in fact scored 4 times in 4 starts for his new team, FC Levadia in Estonia, who are lying top of their league. A pity he couldn't do it for us last season, although, to be fair, I don't remember him getting many chances.

15 Aug 2015 Stuart Armstrong got 2 for Celtic today which I'd rather not record! Others were- SL 1 R McAllister (2) (Stranraer 0 - Peterhead 4) Highland league A Greig (2) (Brora 4 - Keith 1) Z Sutherland (2) (Brora 4 - Keith 1) G Wood (2) (Deveronvale 1 - Formantine 8)

Well, we won the second half! Also, stats show we managed 9 shots today with 5 on target. So there must be some plus points from a game that was always going to be a struggle for us with our makeshift defence. I would suggest that when we get Warren and Meekings back in central defence, if we continue to create chances up front, then our season should improve dramatically. Defence of Scottish Cup a realistic target. Believe.
