All I wanted was ten days off. Was that too much to ask? Apparently so, as only two bars had put up warning posters about me before I was on a plane back to Bratislava. We had £29m in the bank and were going to spend money like never before. No more training facilities, no more youth networking...

362 Grimsby at Torquay today.

I always say "It's ok, I only wanted half a cup" and then stare at her until I can see shame build in her eyes. Edit: For clarity, my wife, not yours.

51 Doverians at Torquay tonight.

Radio just said 249 Aldershot at Torquay.

They've sold him and loaned him back for the season. He can play against all the other sides but not vs Celtic. Smaller clubs will always lose their better players to bigger clubs, that's not my problem with Dundee Utd. Cally sold Christie in the summer, and have time to work on a replacement...

Dundee Utd must be the absolute worst example of how to run a promising football club. Sell anyone of value, with the manager on a percentage to sell them to his old club, and nothing at all being re-invested. Dundee Utd should be fighting with Aberdeen for the top three, not fighting...

There might be a manager inside there somewhere, but this is not the right scenario for either side. We need someone to organise and motivate a young and dispirited squad. Nicho won't be able to make the squad his own, and will tarnish his reputation both with our fans and as a young...

Went to Hibs vs Aberdeen tonight in the League Cup. Aberdeen played their 'strongest team' but lost 2-0 to two late goals on the counter. It was the total opposite to Sunday, when everything worked perfectly - today was just a totally flat performance. Firstly, Rooney and Goodwillie can't be...

It's been worded that Quigley was 'recalled'. Both started the season in the side but Quigley has been on the bench recently whereas Carmichael has stayed in the side. That might be why one is staying but not the other. I don't know how much of the wages we are paying, but if we are contributing...

Torquay have signed Durrell Berry until the end of the season. He signed for us on a non-contract about 12 months ago and was excellent for us, and left after 12 games as he earned a contract in L2 with Cheltenham. Seems history has repeated itself as he signed for Alfreton on a non-contract a...

Now confirmed that he has resigned. Club statement says that he has acknowledged that with us having no money, a director of football is a wage we cannot afford. On the face of it, that is true, but with so much to take in recently it's hard to know where to stand any more. Employing a director...

Had a brilliant day today. About 15 coaches were parked on my road by the time I woke up. Went to the local pub which had been taken over by loud Aberdeen fans. Had a few pints then walked the four minute walk round the corner to Tynecastle and saw Aberdeen destroy Hearts for the first 45...

Quotes below from the chairman. It sounds like he has been offered something elsewhere and said pay me or I'll take the job that will pay me. Can't say I can blame him either. This is actually slightly better news for us though given some rumours flying around. Losing Cox is a blow but there...

I think 'not being paid' means non-contract rather than we owe him money. We signed about 6 players on non-contracts last season and have had Simon Heslop, Jamie Richards and Lavelle-Moore on non-contracts this season. Alan Knill also managed us without getting paid when Martin Ling was on sick...

We have no debts. Our problems have resulted from the club being run with no control for the last 5 years because there was a lottery winner picking up any losses. As a result we've had to make huge cutbacks and the new owners are only able to spend money that we generate. I don't think there...

Board meeting at 2pm today, and a statement afterwards, although I expect that to be clichéd bollocks based on quotes so far. Cox apparently texted the local paper this morning to confirm his resignation, and will release a statement on Monday. Come as a total shock to everyone, and can only...

How Easy Was The Ground to Get To (from the station, by car, etc) It's a three minute walk from my front door, so could not be easier. For anyone else, it's a short walk from Haymarket Station into Gorgie Road. If Applicable, How is Parking Near The Ground? For Edinburgh standards, it's not...

How Easy Was The Ground to Get To (from the station, by car, etc) Aberdeen city centre only really has two important streets - Union Street, which is the main street, and King Street, which is at the bottom end of Union Street and leads up to the university and conference centre. The ground is...

How Easy Was The Ground to Get To (from the station, by car, etc) I live in Edinburgh, so got a bus. I hadn't been into the Leith area before, but there was a sea of green shirts from the other side of town so just followed them. Now that I've lived here longer and know it better then I think...
