    Don't blame him. Some days I feel like doing the same.

    Coincidentally, whilst reading that I suddenly realised that this month is the 30th anniversary of my retirement from the game - well, the Futsal version of it - I had given up the proper version a few years previously.

    Don Cowie's Ross County look like retaining their premiership status. After winning the first leg of their play-off final 2-1 against Raith Rovers, they're leading 2-0 in the home leg.

    Good news for football in the Highlands after Inverness were relegated to the third tier - and for their fans, such as myself.

    Final score 4-0 - highlighting a bit of a gulf in class between the Premiership and the Championship.

    Not sure where this has come from really but remember thinking it was a shame he got let go although guess we had a strong squad at the time.

    And Luke has done well for himself since as he says.

    Shades of Sheffield Wednesday v Peterborough last year in the German promotion/relegation play off

    Bochum save themselves in a penalty shoot out having been 3 down from the first leg but they were away to Dusseldorf.

    Guess it’s because it’s “football league” related ?

    Although why are they reporting on a Premier league club ?

    Least they said why he left .

    Not claimed he was sacked .

    He spent a lot longer at Brighton - and they were in the Football league at the time.

    It's just clickbait from another site anyway tbh.

    Uche Ikpeazu was one of ours who never played for us. Now St Johnstone have agreed a deal to sign him from Port Vale.

    He's never really shone at any of the clubs he's played for - and there's been a dozen or so - but the Hearts fans seemed to like him, so maybe St Johnstone fans will too. I think all I could say about him is that he's a bit better than Ashley Fletcher....

    We got him as a highly rated youngster from Reading but as you say had a very journeyman career .

    Looks like we'll be seeing Ben Hamer back at the Vic next season - he's signing for Sheffield Wednesday.

    Juraj Kucka scored Slovakia's first goal against Wales tonight. Still playing at 37...
