   It's a fairly safe bet that I won't be buying our third shirt this season. I think that is potentially worse than the football itself.

   I’m pretty sure that lineup came out of a tombola. This could be interesting.

   Back at the Wham Stadium, avoiding an awful transfer window close out by watching Stanley take on Grimsby Town.

   On route to Carrot Road where Burnley play Norwich City this afternoon.

   A long journey and mixed start to the season means that there is plenty of room on the coach today - much needed as I have some work to do en route.

   When the first goal went in for them, you could see us fall away. You can’t fold like we did in that final 30 minutes. Scott Parker

   Fold? we assisted MGW's first, left him unmarked for the next two, and were then outtrun from halfway. Fold does not come close.

   Sorry for all the test quote posts, hopefully this one is curtains...

   Tried to escape Burnley's Mansfield friendly by visiting the other Victoria Park (not Dingwall) yesterday. Games was off, so I still had to watch the second half capitulation.

   I was back at the Crown Ground tonight to see Stanley lift three very cold and windy points from the visiting Salford City.
