Torquay had 346 at Eastleigh on Saturday

Once we were in the Group Stages, well, who cared really? We got another million in prize money, plus some gate receipts and our reputation has never been higher. Job done. Whilst we were riding this tidal wave of cash into the bank, the first set of annual wage bills were published, and for...

Yeah, it was that first bit between Aberdeen and Dundee where it happened. There's about 4 times as many cameras there as there is in the Dundee to Edinburgh half of the journey. I drove quite fast just after I passed my test, especially showing off to friends, and touched 100 once just to say...

Speeding in Scotland is just not worth it. Cameras everywhere and they prosecute everything. I got 3 points for doing 80 on a motorway between Aberdeen and Edinburgh, and there is no option to do the course instead of the points. Plus I got a £100 fine, and then it was in a hire car so they...

Torquay have: Guiseley (H), Welling (A), Kidderminster (A), Bromley (H), Boreham Wood (H) and Lincoln City (A). It's a key month for us. In August we played the sides currently in 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 11th, 16th and 21st. We lost to the four top 6 sides, drew with 11th and beat 16th and 21st. In...

Good to see Ronny Delia is now having to explain his stupid comments in the week after Collins made his. It couldn't be possible that one team of league champions beat another team of league champions without there being something to blame. Celtic have taken immediate action by making a £500k...

The player sales began early, in fact the season had barely ended when the deal was done for Deaconescu to go to Arsenal. 16 goals in 25 games was a decent return for a 16/17 year old, and of course his potential had attracted the big teams. I could have forced him to stay, but taking the money...

Yeah, you have to build your own. Even if you can only have one coach part-time I want them to be as good as they possibly can. Once you're at a high enough club I want a minimum of myself, an assistant and seven coaches, to do one category each. In an assistant I basically want someone good...

Most of our squad were signed less than 2 weeks before the season started, two arrived the day before. Cox has only been here for a month before that, and we lost our captain/best player/only one who can pass Luke Young to a season-long injury one week before we kicked off. Cox's teams have a...

I suppose this is a debate we're going to have after every game now. Paul Cox obviously has a reputation - but he's been very successful to date. We're in a position where we can't afford to be too choosy and with him we have a much greater chance of stabilising the club from its current low...

Puts Celtic's 2-2 draw there last week into perspective. I have bet on Ross County, Celtic -1, Celtic HT and FT, Hearts and Dundee today. The latter was only because of the odds, so would be quite happy with 4 out of 5 coming in.

I didn’t want to do too much work on the first XI – they had won the domestic double and as most were young kids, would get better with age and experience playing together. Improvement without me having to do anything is something I can get on board with, so I left the coaches and old father...

Morale had been a problem last year, but having got rid of all the troublemakers I knew this year would be easier. Marek suggested that some team bonding would help bring everyone closer together. I must admit that I did slightly mishear what he had actually said, and booked us all in for a...

Great updates Alty. I can relate with you being a domestic giant but European minnow. You've just hit two absolutely massive landmarks at the same time, so your glass ceiling has been shattered. Regular European money is the only way to fund progress at a smaller club - to boost the facilities...

I have been having intermittent trouble logging in and posting for the last week. If I start a post from scratch it's usually fine, but if I copy and paste in my FM story for example I get the following message - after which the site usually won't load at all and I have to clear cashe/flush...

The stupid comments from John Collins can't have helped either. The other 11 sides should be using it in their pre-match motivation. Totally disrespectful to the other players and clubs in the division, who spend less in total than Celtic do by themselves, and have their best players poached by...

With the squad in place for the new season, it was time for Marek to go off scouting the upcoming opposition and now up to me to do my bit. By this I of course mean make the magic happen. I thought back to the golden days at Levice and remembered very the first thing I did when things weren’t...

Great ending to the Dundee derby last night - I wasn't impressed with the United keeper when they played Aberdeen, and he should have done a lot better with the last minute equaliser. Another great goal from Stewart too. Celtic have dropped their first points of the season tonight, 2-2 away at...

A lesser manager, nay, a lesser man, might have crumbled under weight of all this pressure. Fortunately, I have already been there, done it and bought the t-shirt, even if it is not currently in my possession. I had fallen out with players before, but only the shit ones. All I had to do now was...
