No Dons saviour in the Scotland squad v. Sweden next Wednesday: Four changes to Scotland squad for Sweden friendly | Scotland | STV Sport My match ticket arrived the other day; looking forward to the inevitable call-offs with 'injury', inflated drinks prices and Ibrahimovic tearing McManus a new one

I had a serious conversation with my girlfriend about this, with the consideration of getting it on an ass-cheek. I've 99% decided that I WON'T get it. But those odds might change on the opening night

Rumours are that the Dons won't meet Hendrie's wage demands and are instead turning their intention to signing Hartley; as they'd struggle to afford both.

Sorry for the late response; just back from holidays. It was a raspberry infused Hardcore IPA. Lovely stuff. The blurb compared it to a burnt pirate ship, which I thought was a naff explanation at first. But after the first sip I could see why! You could taste the raspberries, but the smokey aftertaste really hits you hard.

I see Wyness scored a brace today. How's he getting on?

I've tried to get some Hardcore IPA for ages from the brewdog website, peckhams etc; but each time I've been met with it being sold out. When I saw you drinking one, I thought I'd be cheeky and ask for a bottle. It was incredible stuff, which was very easy on the pallet despite being 9% or so.

BBC Sport - Football - NI keeper Jonathan Tuffey signs for Inverness Really amazed and impressed by this one! For anyone who's seen him play, you'll know that he's got the ability and consistency required to play at a higher level than ICT. Excellent signing and one that will push both keepers to perform to their best abilities ..... I do not remember a time in our short history when we truly had two keepers that fans would agree were top notch !!!! sure we had McRitchie/Calder then Calder/Fridge/Walker etc then Brown/Ridgers/Fraser etc but in each case - apart from maybe McRitchie /Calder in our first couple of seasons at a far lower level - I dont think there was ever a time where fans would truly be happy regardless of which keeper was between the sticks. 10/10 for this one ICT !!!

Off topic, but what a great evening that was! Incredible beer and very interesting/tasty food I also stalked Aekido (sp?) there along with one or two other Aberdeen photographers...

I spotted him next to the fire station next to king st last week, wearing a blue tshirt if memory serves me right.

Exciting eh? Either way I'm pleased to have him on board and looking forward to seeing his performances in pre-season.

The Sun says Portadown, but a Rangers site says Blackburn reserves.

We've just signed 2 young players on 1 year deals Caley Thistle bring in young guns - Press & Journal The Isreali guy had a stormer whilst on trial with Rangers last summer banging in a hatrick from midfield against Blackburn in a friendly, but they couldn't agree terms. Could be a bit of a steal, if he follows the same trend as Johnny Hayes and Lee Cox. Nae a scooby about Max Johnson... I was sure that was a pornstar name!? He's got a nice wee website though - Max Johnson Goalkeeper - Currently at Newcastle United FC Looking forward to our pre-season friendlies v. Huntly, Real Valloloid (sp?) and Royal Antwerp, in addition to the League Cup game v. Queens Park. Unfortunately I'll miss our annual game v. Elgin City due to holiday commitments. In International news, I got my ticket for Sweden v. Scotland friendly in August. Looking forward to that one!

I actually really enjoyed Get Him To The Greek last night. Quite a few laugh out loud moments, especially with P-Diddy's fine turn as a record label boss. Well worth a watch. Thinking of going to see the new Shrek film today...

Inverness CT have strangely got Royal Antwerp and Real Valladolid at home in pre-season, in addition to the usual Elgin City/Huntly. Quite pleased with these games... but I'm still waiting for us to get our annual loss to Peterhead organised.

I still don't think it was over the line...

Must. not. make. Ashley. Cole. gay. joke.

I'm only a month or so late with this one, but funny all the same...

I heard he had 100 bet on France 0 - Uruguay 0 in the last round, but the bookie didn't like the look of his coupon.

I'll be there with a fairly large Elginite contingent.

Right'o plumped my money on two bets in the Ghana v. Serbia match: - Less than 4 goals - Ghana not to win 12 profit if they come off

Ended up putting most of my winnings on there being fewer than 4 goals in the USA v. Engerland game, to win 5ish. After watching the first 10-15 mins of the boring Algeria v. Slovenia game I've put 40 on there being fewer than 3 goals. Looking good so far... 11 if it comes off. Likely to do a bit more in game betting this afternoon and evening.
