Aye but could they make up 11 goals

Two wins against United and a draw against St Johnstone is all we need. Simples. I do, however, think the drive we displayed on sunday will carry us through with a first win of the season against Aberdeen on saturday.

Window in Scotland opens on 9th June. Only out of contract players can be signed before then.

On top of above there's incentive to win and gain 130k euro for making second qualifying round of Europa.

I think the prize money for winning is around 75k. On top of that is share of semi and final gate reciepts + tv monies. Maybe 200k total. Its not something thats really publicised.

Hers's one for the Highland marchers. Now that our last match is at Hampden is the march from Parkhead to Hampden?

One question thats not asked is 'did the ref think perhaps there was hand to ball contact but it wasn't deemed to be deliberate'? Josh is twisting around to get his body in the way of a ball that he doesn't know, in the nano second of time he has to make a decision, the direction of. He's hardly two yards away from Griffiths so has the ref decided it was not deliberate? Matches are won on goals and Celtics only goals came from well taken set pieces whereas two of ours were from open play. Barring the first twenty five minutes when Celtic were on top I think we were the team with the most desire to win and we played to win. In extra time when it went to 2-2 Celtic stopped, obviously hoping they'd dominate in shoot-out. We kept going and got the winner. End of.

The venue is big but if seating is allocated sensibly then it can look full. Saturday had around 25k and sunday over 28k. Both relatively small crowds but I didn't think atmosphere was affected. Its what makes the day that matters and not the numbers. I'm sure we can rustle up 10k and Falkirk about 15k. Nice weather and that could be even more. The only thing I can see that could affect the neutrals is the play-off finals that weekend but who cares. We are in the final ofthe biggest trophy in Scotland so should savour the moment and not get tied up in crowd figures. Sadly I'll be in Angola for it.

This is interesting. I believe the writer could be an honest Inverness man. http://scotlandowntwofeet.blogspot.co.uk/

If anyones interested I have a couple of tickets spare for sunday. South Lower JJ.

Could kick you in the b***s.

The one certainty is that Stokes will not feature.

Team are at McDairmid tuesday night with 6 pm k.o

Thanks for the history lesson I didn't actually need Charles. I chose two significant dates that were after 1707 but if you want to use that period as being a predominately religious war then so be it. Remember also that protestantism was imposed on the Scots by threats and acts of violence some two hundred or so years previous yet, although there were many battles, both in Scotland and England, the ultimate objective of reforming the church and converting all from Roman Catholicism failed as can be seen by the near 50/50 split of Catholic and Protestant of today.

Agree with DD and CB that Oddquines choice of words are not what people of the 20th / 21st centuries would ever have wanted to hear. We done our killing in 1715 and 1745 in the hope of regaining our independence and the result of that attempt was that we became an oppressed nation with many being deported to the colonies and the remainder treated as third class citizens and cannon fodder for many years after. I am a nationalist and I believe Scotland will eventually win its independence, not by acts of violence but by acts of UK government politicians.

Doesn't really work now they've changed it. Wish I'd screen dumped the original report

Noticed Steve Paterson has left Formartine by mutual consent.

I didn't. I bought ticket for County end

Good footage - sell it to the BBC. Also from the position of the camera the person filming could have been one of our fans? BBC maybe filmed it

Possibly TV companies and not SFA to blame

My one concern would the re-laying of the pitch. I assume this happened recently as they promised it in time for league cup. The turf is unlikely to have rooted fully so there's every chance it will lift in the LC final. It will then be used for Queens next home game and an international before the SC semi's. I'm no expert in turf management but is seems an awful short period to let it all settle down
