  1. Can't justify the expense of a flight home for this one to the wife, she's no idea where Elgin is let alone heard of Elgin City FC. But she will join at Hampden in May. See you all then 

  2. Streamed live feed to my iPhone in a bar in Cyprus while having a few beers. Definitely matched Rangers and had a couple of chances in both halfs. Our waiter's from Astra and was also at our European away game. Thought it was an omen for an equaliser but alas not the case....anyway, Merry Christmas everyone, onwards and upwards in 2017

    I see DJ Campbell is now playing for my closest Conference South team, Maidenhead United, and has scored 3 in 3 games so far.  He was with Blackburn in the Championship last season, and it is only two or three  years since he was scoring regularly for Blackpool, in the Premiership.

     

    Apparently he was, wrongly, accused of being involved in a 'spot fixing' scam at the start of 2014, but has recently been 'cleared' with no charges against him.  He was released by Blackburn two or three months ago, and was thinking of retiring, when he was approached by Maidenhead, whose manager used to manage him at Yeading ten years ago when he was a prolific scorer in non league football, before his 'overnight' success at the highest levels .

     

    Might be worth keeping an eye on.

    Is Drax still in charge at Maidenhead Utd? I've not been to York Road this season but I usually take in a game or two. When you next planning a visit?

     

    Yes, Drax is still in charge there.  I think he has been close to the exit door a few times, but hangs on in there.   I haven't been there for 2 or 3 seasons, but if you have definite plans to go sometime this season I'd be happy to meet you there.  Drop me a PM nearer the time.

     

    Was going to suggest FA Cup fourth qualifying round but, assuming The Magpies beat Gosport, they will be away to Willard Rovers from the ninth-tier Western League Premier Division.

     

    Hopefully they'll win both games and I'll see you down York Road for 1st Round Proper. Will PM you nearer the time.
