Saturday's Scottish Cup 5th Round tie against Brechin has been called off. The SFA held a meeting this morning and have asked Brechin and Hamilton to replay their 4th Round game. More to follow. http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/clubNewsDetail/0,,10284~1228878,00.html

The EE is suggesting Brechin and Hamilton might have to replay again! So the team could have an extended break this week, followed by playing twice every week for a few weeks.

And who knows if Saturday's game will proceed or not. This would be the last thing our league campaign needs.

Pitch inspection at 2pm. Fixture pile-up if it gets called off.

Potential fixture pile-up if tonight gets postponed and the SFA haven't sorted out the Hamilton/Brechin situation by Saturday.

Might be a blessing if it gets called off, with all these injuries...

I've got Setanta Ireland and it works fine in the UK. But the word on the street is that the game will be blocked for UK viewers. I'm going to the game anyway.

2-1 Brechin latest score in Extra Time!

I'd rather be "active" than not in the competitions at all. But our small squad isn't really up to trying for a quadruple this season.

What's peoples thoughts on these two? For me... Maguire - should be loaned out to a Scottish 1st or 2nd division side to see if he can score some goals. He looks a bit too lightweight for me at the moment and is danger of turning into another John Stewart. He's a poor Darren Mackie at the moment - at least Mackie puts himself about. I wouldn't lose any sleep if we sold him, which is sad as he did look like a great prospect a couple of years ago, with Nicholl describing him as the best youngster he'd ever worked with! Considine - needs a run in the reserves to get his confidence back up. He looks very shaky no matter where he plays at the back. I'm pinning my hopes on a Diamond/Bus partnership, with possibly Byrne as back up. Yet another couple of youngsters who are struggling to impress. We all know the youth system has not produced over the last few years. Its now WM's responsibility and his rebranded youth academy which was created in 2006 needs to start producing the goods over the next few years. Certainly plenty of people involved in it: http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/whoswho

LOL. I remember all this. Great banter!

I'm far from being Lee Miller's biggest fan but he appeared to genuinely be on the end of some very hefty challenges yesterday. He also won an awful lot of headers and I thought he was one of our few good performers.

What are you advertising Rotterdam Records for then?

He died yesterday so a bit late now.

Can I transfer in Christian Brando?

So what's the story here? Can you make transfers whenever you like?

Just in. Very poor stuff. We were probably the better team but only started creating chances when we went 1-0 down. I don't think our disallowed goal was offside, it was right in front of where I sit. Awful mistake from Duff for the goal. Seve and Young both off injured in the first half. JC made the mistake (in my opinion) of bringing Maguire on for Young and moving Smith to wide left. Maguire is far too lightweight against Hearts' physical defence. Mackie or Lovell would have been by far better options. Ref didn't help, Hearts were getting away with some very physical challenges. JDV, Zander and Miller probably our best performers but it was just so disappointing after Tuesday.

The same Jeremy Beadle that's seriously ill with pneumonia in hospital?

45 minutes or 90 for you the morn?

Slight delay in his move after results of the MRI scan. Could be out for 6 weeks, Preston to re-negotiate the fee. http://www.pnefc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10362~1224721,00.html
