With Martin Ling resigning, due to ill health, from Swindon will there be any effect on keeping Miles?

Hamilton Away
Firstly can someone tell me why this game is the only 3pm kick of. Understandable that its 170 miles between Inverness and Hamilton but Partick are expected to travel to Aberdeen which is 144 miles and they have 7.45 ko. Seems very stupid to me that Hamilton agreed to what will likely be a very reduced crowd for the afternoon game than they would have had for evening. Most people are not on holiday and so wont get to this one.

Security threat at Stadium
Fact...Acts of terror do occur Fact...History has shown that unattended packages can have explosive consequences Fact...In any public place people are advised not to leave anything around that could be deemed suspicious This has nothing to do with Syria. It is to do with public security from, as IHE points out, any sort of fanatic or grudge bearer wishing to cause human misery.

Willie Collum
This foray into Europe is not new for Collum. He's been a FIFA listed ref since 2006. He's classified as one of only 24 FIFA elite refs in the world. He's refereed international matches and Uefa Cup. Ref for U-19 European Championship final in 2008. This year the Champs league qualifier between Basel and Maccabi which he made a balls of. He's also been part of refereeing teams at a number of European games. He's obviously got something FIFA and UEFA like though I cant think what other than refereeing standards are bad around the world.

Security threat at Stadium
I'd go along with Scotty and further suggest that this unattended bag would have been checked out on CCTV before anyone was sent to pick it up. Terrorism is not taken lightly and, had it not been suspected the bag was likely to have been innocently left, this could easily have led to stadium evacuation and bomb experts being called in. I'm also inclined to think that the bag was taken away as a lesson in this instance. I'm sure the OP also realises how something so routine and innocent can become something massive.

Not bad Sneckboy. Can you now engineer for our home games to be against Arbroath and Brechin. We're more likely to take a bigger support to Hellgin and Balmoor.

Bearing in mind that those in Europe are not in the group stage and the Prem teams not in Europe will all be in different groups how do you envisage the region? Lets say for arguements sake that the Euro places are taken up by Celtic, Aberdeen, St Johnstone and AN.Other from central belt. We now have Inverness and Ross County in two groups of five. We now need to find eight teams within the region. HL winner, Elgin, Peterhead, Montrose, Arbroath, Brechin, Forfar, Raith, East Fife and Dunfermline. Not exactly a region that'll reduce travel costs for teams and fans so will the fan numbers increase as is hoped?

New Shirt Sponsor announced
They may not be a major corporation but they are a very big company with some twenty offices around Scotland and a portfolio of properties at the higher end of the market. Nor are they stupid. Its TV coverage that this company wants not a few thousand fans. They know that even if any of the three were to go down they'd still get a lot of TV coverage in championship. With the company name on shirts and plastered around stadia McEwan Fraser get TV exposure without paying high TV advertising premiums. I would imagine that each team willhave been offered similar terms and that those terms are very favourable for us considering we're not taking up the option to extend with Subway

We will always endeavour to win a European place be it through the league position or cup but I wouldn't expect us to get there every season

I cant understand the regionalisation thing. How do you regionalise when so many league teams are in central belt and yet six of the top twelve are north of the Forth. If a case arose where none of those six qualify for europe then they are going to head six of the groups. The remaining teams north of Forth, Raith, Dunfermline, East Fife, Brechin, Montrose, Arbroath, Peterhead, Elgin and one HL team. How can regionalisation come about from that?

Forecast is not good, with heavy rain and gales gusting 50 knots overnight and through tomorrow, but I believe Tyncastle can cope. Unless, of course, theres a structural damage risk

Hearts Away
I doubt it. Late last night the decision was taken to close the bridge. Many of todays commuters may not have known this and left home at usual time only to find they were late. Traffic was not helped by an accident on one of the roads leading to Kincardine resulting in road closure. Assuming folk get there acts together, leave home earlier, change to trains etc, I think things will get to some form of normallity and the system will cope reasonably well.

Yogi's Contract
He didn't actually come out and say the things he said. He was asked the question, a question I didn't think the press needed to ask, during his press conference on new deal and he answered in his usual honest way. I'm quite sure he would have made his thoughts known to Kenny long before this week. As indicated in previous post its last weeks news and now its time to move on and push on.

Yogi's Contract
Yogi spoke about a few things at a press conference attended by journo's from various papers yet no two papers have the same slant on the story. Its a free country with freedom of speech so the guy made a statement. If the media had quoted that statement in its entirety would there be the same comments being made I wonder. Nor did he say he didn't trust the club. My take on listening to his words on news was that he felt the club didnt trust him to do the right thing.
