Correct Better performance last night. Thought Robertson, McArthur and Phillips were the standouts. Forrrest was only negative. Cannot understand why he keeps getting picked. Draw against Lithuania at home is even more annoying now.

Brechin are a championship side this season so not going to get him much higher than that

As they are development loans and both are 18 and 19 respectively I would guess not. It is more a case of getting first team experience for them.

McLennan out on loan to Brechin and Anderson out on loan to Elgin. Both development loans.

Football Junkie. Try to find a game to go to whenever I am away or at a lose end. For example heading to Lancaster City v Staleybridge Celtic on Monday.

Off the top of my head Been to all current league grounds in Scotland plus 10 highland league, 12 in the lowland league, 5 in the east of Scotland league, 19 in the East Juniors, 11 in the North Juniors and 2 in the West Juniors. Also seen football at Murrayfield. In England been to 27 grounds including Wembley 4 in Wales including Cardiff Arms 4 in the Republic including Aviva 1 in Austria 4 in France including the Stade de France 5 in Germany including Olympic Stadium in Berlin and Westfalen in Dortmund and Allianz Arena in Munich 6 in Czech Republic including both Slavia and Sparta grounds in Prague 5 in Holland including the Amsterdam Arena 2 in Belgium 4 in Italy including the San Siro 2 in Slovenia 1 in Poland 1 in Croatia 1 in Serbia 1 in Lithuania 1 in Georgia 2 in Ukraine 1 in Slovakia 2 in Sweden including the Ullevi in Gothenburg 2 in Norway 3 in Denmark 2 in Malta 5 in Spain 1 in Cyprus 1 in Macedonia 1 in Iceland 6 in the US Most impressive facility wise was the Levi's stadium in Santa Clara in the US best for atmosphere is between the stadiums in Munich, Dortmund and Berlin. Most disappointing would be Wembley and the Emirates. Sure there are a few I have forgotten.

Same price as Tynecastle last season.

Squad is pretty much as expected with Strachen still picking players who are either off form or not playing from the start/at all with their club sides. Something he said he would not do when he started. Not bothering with either of these games as I have been to Lithuania a number of times before and heading to Glasgow on a Monday night to watch us play Malta is about as appealing as sticking bamboo splinters under my finger nails.

Poor performance today. A lot of players not at the races today. Thank fuck for Steve May. Two well taken goals with 2nd being a belter however it was scored when Dundee were down to 9. We were struggling to create anything when it was 11 v 11. Very surprised to see Rooney brought on to play wide left when Wright was sitting on the bench.

Watched by a crowd of 155. Ross the scorer for Dons. Colts teams have no place in the Challange Cup.

Given their start to the season fully expect Dundee to come up and sit it and try and shitfest their way to a point. Think we have the players to break them down but we may have to be patient. In Train up the road Y Family BBQ 2-0 May and Stewart

Currently only a 20 minute walk to the train station. That option will not be open at a ground 6 miles from the station.

At least you have a choice of transport away from Pittodrie. Sitting in on a bus will be only option if new stadium gets passed.

What they are going to spend ages waiting for a shuttle bus in the pissing rain then sit in a line of traffic?

If he's not careful he is going start a civil war in the US.

Sun (I know I know) is reporting that Storey is going to Thistle tomorrow.

Not a great performance but we are through which is all that matters in the cup. Really need to get a striker in as the more I see of Maynard the less I like. Does not look like he knows where the goal is. As BB saidStorey did more in his 15 minutes than Maynard did in 75. Big Joe played well along with O'Connor and McLean. Christie showed in flashes along with Wright. Rest were pretty poor tonight. Large support but unusually quite for away day but that might have been down to the performance from the team.

Livingston beat Falkirk 2-1 in extra time.

Would expect couple of changes for this one to rest players as third game in under 7 days. Would like to see Storey given a shot at starting as he scored on Sunday but think McInnes will probably stick with Maynard. Not sure I would give the Accies defenders another full 90 minutes to try and end Wrights career. Maybe start Mackay Steven or Stewart and bring Wright off the bench when they are to tired to catch him. Well done to both sides for reducing admission to £10.
