Foran wasn't offside either. He was not interfering with play but instead doing a wee waltz with Rossco when the ball smashed into his face. Luckily it then veered into the net.

Oddquine I can understand how, borne out of frustration, you may feel the need to whine on a forum not intended for the purpose but had you gone to you may well have found some reasons and answers to your problems. I had the same problems but all is fixed now and I'm using firefox.

Teletext...........do you still get that?

Play the game behind closed doors then they'll get nothing or make sure there's only enough home fans to cover the match expenses.

A football club has been forced to change its badge after a member of the public complained because it had a saltire on it. Formartine United's 53-year-old badge was also deemed illegal under heraldic law because it was shield-shaped, quartered and featured a lion rampant, French writing, ribbons and the red and white stripes were too narrow. After appealing to the Court of the Lord Lyon - the heraldic authority for Scotland - it was agreed that the Highland League side would be allowed to keep the shield, French writing and ribbons, but the rampant lion was forced to have wings, the Saltire was removed and the red and white stripes have been broadened. It has cost the Aberdeenshire club thousands of pounds to rebrand all their goods but club secretary Martin Johnston said more hurt had been caused to the fans emotionally. He said: "It will be a sad day when the badge is completely removed from all items inside the ground. "It was designed over 50 years ago and it represents everything about the club - but it's been taken away from us. "We are very proud of our badge and heritage and it's only when we've been told to change it that we've realised how much we'll miss it. "We lost the saltire which we were most disappointed about as we are staunchly Scottish.” In October 2010 a letter was sent by Aberdeen's procurator-fiscal, ordering the Pitmedden club to remove the image from their website and all other material, including their strips. After realising the notice was not a joke, they calculated that the order had serious financial penalties attached to it. The club could either pay thousands of pounds to record their badge on the Public Register of Arms or pay to completely re-brand the team. If they had refused, they would have been prosecuted and every item with the emblem would be confiscated. Two years on, Mr Johnston said he had yet to find out who complained to the authorities. He said: "The person who complained has never come out of cover to explain themselves. "It's ridiculous, you look everywhere and Scottish Premier League clubs have shield badges. As do bowling clubs, tennis clubs - even lorries have them with saltires. "We thought there's no way we're going to roll over and accept this, so we drove for a compromise and we're delighted we got one. "But it's had a massive impact on our club, the badge is seen everywhere, whether it be on stationary, shirts or crockery in hospitality and we're having to spend a lot of money to change them. "We are allowed to sell the current branded stock till the end of this season and I imagine some of the goods will become collector's items." The new badge will feature on Formartine United's strip next season. What sort of person would want to complain about such a thing? Story came from http://www.formartineutd.com/front-page but the site is so slow that I figured it's easier to copy and paste.

Sorry Luke but County have to stay up.

If the stewards allow them in.

Is he? Roman is so good he's made one start this season.

I believe this is one of the things the club are actually looking into.

I believe the 'assembly' is a committee of various supporters groups. The assembly may boycott but I'd wager there's still a big crowd turns out.

Public figure, role model etc. etc. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-20585732

Why, I only wanted to share a very small part of it.....not the whole book

I seem to remember the suggestion that come the split all points would reset to nil. As to standing areas, Germany's top leagues all have standing area's because they believe in having area's that are a lot cheaper than the rest of the stadium to allow for those on low wages to attend matches regularly. In recent times there has been government pressure to make stadia all seater but they've so far managed to resist that by puting in additional barriers. The other thing about the German teams is that all bar a couple are run by fans. Fan representation is 51%. Only two teams are privately owned. Volkswagen own Wolfsburg and Bayer Pharmaceutical own Bayer Leverkusen. Other companies have ownership of a part of a club but cannot gain a controlling interest. Apparantly this fan power not only helps in the club decision making but also on pressuring and lobbying politicians on stadia legislation. Not many politicians are going to risk their position by making laws that upset the football public.

Anyone can make changes, maliciously or otherwise.

Trying to understand the 3 leagues of 8. Top eight playing for European places. Middle eight playing for survival in top flight. Bottom eight playing for what? Relegation to 18?

Its not going to shoehorn Rangers back into top flight any sooner than they would be under the current system if this paragraph is anything to believe: The SPL would invite clubs to enter the league, determined by their league positions prior to the start of any re-organised season. It hopes that this would head off criticism from those who might argue that re-organisation is being used as a vehicle to accelerate Rangers' return to the top division. If started next season Rangers would be div 3 so they would stay in the 18 league then need to win that to come into SPL 2 the following season. If started following season and assuming Rangers top two of div 2 they would start in SPL 2. Like CD says its a start but it doesnt get away from the split and playing each other three or four times. The two main gripes of most fans.

Stats in all comps. Played 31 Killie won 10. ICT won 11 Draws 10 Played at Killie.16 times.We won 5 and drew 5 Total goal;s scored Killie 54 ICT 56 Ach I'm counting chickens

She's trying to get rid of the Govan bugs

And neither was Vigurs..............................but the bottom line is every County player was boo'd today.

Ha ha ha! Disappointed that they don't show Vigurs dive. Dissapointed that Vigurs didn't get carded for his attempt at enticing the away support. Total pillock if you ask me.

Really impressed with those guys today, apart from the flares-----that does no good in trying to show that standing and singing poses no danger, they stepped of the train and invaded the Mallard in brilliant form. They sang to the ground. They sang throughout the game-----except when they stopped now and again to see if the County fans were still alive-------and they sang all the way out of the ground and over the bridge. Well done lads and lassies but please leave the flares at home. It may seem harmless but if you miss your throw one of your own could be injured. Thats not a criticism its a discouragement.
