Purely out of selfishness if we get Italian team then we better be in conference as I have been to Rome and Bergamo but never been to Florence.

Being linked with Ciaron Brown a left back/centre half from Oxford United and Timotej Jambor a striker from MSK Zilina overnight. Oxford saying they have turned down our bid for Brown but it seems we have at least moved on from Scales. Being linked with another striker seems odd unless someone is leaving.

Rocco Vata is attacking midfielder who mostly played for Celtic B team last season. No idea if he is any good but would be some step up from lowland league to Premier.

Have to disagree on Morris. Most decent wing backs can get a cross beyond the first man more than once a game. He can’t. He is fast but that’s it. We need better than him.

Ticket has gone.

No problem.

Face value as it’s not you. £18 We will be in Springkerse View pub before the game.

Would expect a couple of changes tonight with maybe Sokler and Dadia getting a run maybe even Besuijen. As long as we approach this in a professional manner we should get through. In Lift through Away stand Lift back to Capital. 3-0 Sokler, Clarkson and Duk Spare ticket for tonight if anyone is looking for one.

Going to against grain here and say I would not be rushing to offer Polvara a new deal. Definitely looks better than he did when he first arrived but that’s a low bar to set.

Another McKenzie. Alfie Stewart, Bavidge and Marshall with Dons goals in 5-3 defeat. Williams was booked in second half according to Peterhead match report.

Only alarming thing is that they are not much further behind.

Once got the hotel in San Francisco to open the bar at 4am so I watch a Dons v Celtic early kick off on the big screen. Ended up watching it with the cleaners and night porter who were all of Central American decent so all into football. As it was Celtic we got gubbed as usual and they all thought I mad to have got up to watch it knowing we would get beat.

Thought we played as well as we could today but never really looked like winning the game. Always felt like Celtic had another gear to go through where as for most of our players today was as good as it gets. Was better than I feared it would be but really still the same end result.

Todays preliminary round results.

Sure blame someone else what happened to corporate responsibility?

He says from his Villa overlooking the Mediterranean.

Just found out that earliest I can get to Aberdeen on Sunday on the train is 1147 so now having to stay over on the Saturday night. This just gets better. Looking like no new players in now so same team as Saturday. Saw nothing from that performance to suggest we will get anything other than soundly beaten. In breakfast in town Y Pub then train back to Capital. 3-0 no Dons scorer.

Next announcement is one out rather than the expected/hoped incoming.

Hacken 1-0 up currently.

Looks like Wolves were wanting rid of their manager for some time as they have already appointed Gary O’Neil.

In some sort of record the Wolves manager departs before the season has even started.
