Nicholson always posts a facebook status after a game, this week's is just longer than most and more emotional, maybe in part due to the family illness and part to the escalation of off field issues. I do feel slightly sorry for him that he's bearing the brunt for a situation that's not his...

I hope they've fastened his hair piece on properly, otherwise that's going to be a design flaw.

Weather caused chaos today. Hearts was called off, which is probably only a few hundred metres from my front door. It's been a horrible week for wind and rain, and I imagine most of Scotland was the same. I watched Aberdeen away at Dundee in the lunchtime televised game and they looked...

2015 still.

I'm managing Chorley at the moment. I signed a promising left back on loan from Man Utd back when I was in the Championship and he was 18. Since then I have renewed the loan each year, and with the game going on and on, time has flown by and he's suddenly 31 and never ever played for Man Utd...

When the details of this first came to light my first thought was that he had to be guilty of murder. Just because it is a burglar does not give you the right to fire 4 shots directly at them. The prosecution dredged up all their relationship spats and neighbours, and the defence argued the...

3G pitches at two local schools. Our training ground is always underwater at this time of the year anyway, for about six months. Hundreds of thousands wasted on it, for nothing. We don't even have a lease, just a 'gentleman's agreement' with the farmer who owns the land. We've paid £200k + to...

I think he was behind Andy Marriot in that season for us, who was excellent and ended up playing every minute of every game. Bittner was a clear number two and Marriot never got injured or suspended, so he never even got a chance. He dropped down to the conference afterwards and played against...

Starting to dislike Bromley. Score 7 past us at Plainmoor and then lose to the teams in 20th and 19th place at home within a week. We need to start getting some wins soon. Barrow away will be tough but our away record isn't too shabby considering how bad we've been in general. 4 unbeaten but...

I have never really understood the limit behind the averages - not an average itself but why it is so slow. You want even racing, but you want the best riders riding in the elite league. A few years ago Coventry had to decide between Scott Nicholls and Chris Harris, at the time the number 1 & 2...

We have signed Andre Wright on a month's loan this morning. What's he like? Winger/forward, pacey and got 1 in 12 for you?

Where's his best position? Can he play centrally in a 442?

Torquay lost 2-1 to Willand last week in our first game in the St Luke's Devon Bowl. Having disbanded the youth team we had to invite players from the South Devon league to play for us to get past 11 players. Most seemed to be from Watcombe, who at least usually win the South Devon league. We...

The Czech page makes their history very clear. There is only one mention of this that I can find that lists their best ever performance as "1st 1976", which doesn't appear on the Slovak page. Given that this is the only place to do it, and to read it you would have to go past the historical...

What makes you think they don't? The UEFA website lists Czechoslovakia as the winners. Wikipedia lists Czechoslovakia as the winners. I can't actually find any significant source that just lists the Czechs. The Slovak FA website lists "The great achievements of Czecho-Slovak football" and "The...

Slovak hospitals really are no respecters of reputation. My demands of “do you know who I am?” were reassured on arrival, but I was actually given an extremely rude level of service. They may have mended my ailments, but I am glad I send my wages overseas to avoid paying for these people to...

This. You can't revise history. Czechoslovakia won the tournament, and since then the countries have gone their separate ways. Barcelona have provided a lot of players to Spain recently, but if the Catalans ever gain independence it won't change the fact that Spain won in 2008, 2010 and 2012...

To be honest with you the summer of 2020 was a nightmare from start to finish. Firstly, I was asked to do some media work for the Olympic games in Tokyo. Ok, that’s not so bad in itself, but the racial sensitivity course I was sentenced to attend was a total sausage fest and by the time it was...

The wheels have fallen off for Aberdeen. It's incredible to think that they haven't won since I saw them destroy Hearts 3-0 away from home. That was a near perfect performance, to make it 8 wins from 8, only a week after they beat Celtic at home. Since that day they haven't won any of their 5...

They released a statement after the European games were slightly affected by seagulls (see below). They have a new hawk and its improved since then but the location right on the coast makes it a permanent ongoing issue.
