Houston going down several pegs in my view with his statement on Reporting Scotland 'Door is open to all players no matter what the division' oh is that right Peter? Funny how he only gets a sniff of the first team when he signs for the Stadium Bar Pub team. Has he suddenly become a better player than he was at Hearts or Caley? Rory McAllister has 65 goals in 109 appearances for Brechin and Peterhead. Can we expect him to get a start ahead of Kenny Miller?

Do wonder when they will get round to announcing the date of this one. Official site doesnt seem to even acknowledge this is happening. Please be a Tuesday night!

STV finally cave in and are showing the charity shield Villa park this year edit - seem to be a fair few empty seats

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19225698 Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. Seemingly Newcastle's finances ain't far off Oldco's

Thought McGennis was supposed to be a defender now?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjFyDlySTrc Sky's commentary team has certainly improved

well there is a history of trouble at the fixture The carpark being too full, The pies being eaten too fast, Too many seats being sat in/ stood in front of. Its a nightmare

Less than 3000 now. However if GS is correct then they have taken a fair few off the website to sell on the day. Personally I think that would be a bit silly. Cant exactly be hard to close the Online sales 1hr before the turnstiles open and then pass on the remaining printed tickets to the sellers...can it?

Whilst waiting in Inverness station last night there was an announcement stating that anyone who was deemed 'intoxicated' would be refused entry to any train leaving after 9pm. There was even a cop on duty to check. Wonder how many cops will be on duty in the stations with football traffic?

15,409 (3,544 available) If County turn up as is rumoured that is min 16,109

The Job Advert said 1) Are you miserable? 2) Are you a Cunt? 3) Are you capable of doing your local Rail firm out of money? They didnt say anything about drawing graphs

15,205 now (3,748 available) (yes I have very little to do at this moment)

14,308 sold for the home end now (whether or not they all turn up is another matter) 4,645 available For anyone who has plans to just turn up tomorrow at 2:59pm New disappointment graph please

12,819 home tickets sold (6,134 remaining). Think a Pie chart is needed Be interesting to know how many of the 2,349 county tickets have gone/ will go (Presuming they arent bothering with closing off the lower corners of the RDL & South for segregation) * Edit. According to the county forums they have shifted 700 tickets in advance and are hoping for another 700 to turn up on the day Another pie chart required

Be interesting to see if Hearts can go 5mins without conceiding to Suarez & Co. 15mins without them making it 2 and reach half time before its 3

Scum with money and expensive lawyers so they think they are untouchable and can say whatever they like. Local Ned in Copeland road end would get community order, fine and stadium ban for sectarianism. This lot would get an extra bottle of champagne at half time

large away supports only. The tic and Millie were the last I saw use them

no terracing for us I'm afraid. Away fans are stuck in the old grandstand or the uncovered benches behind the goal

So the really evil sectarian element cant be arsed turning up to see them play Fife's most successful club? Suppose there is a microscopic silver lining

Think everyone else will be OK. YOU on the other hand

Considering they could have shut the Fair-play and Jerry Kerr stands and still accommodated the entire crowd Im a bit bemused by united sticking their fans anywhere near the russians. Especially the corporate lot.

Surely not!

9,827 Arabs vs 150 Russians? surely no contest. I wonder if they were jammed in the old wooden seats (are they still there) and just did what every person over 4ft8 has wanted to do United stewards clearly out of their depth when they arent faced with say a guy on crutches or a 6 year old girl with a giant foam hand. Aye right.

Very seriously http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19099368
