I have stiff muscles where I didn't even know I had muscles. Had an email waiting for me this morning obviously sent by the radio 1 bint over the weekend, asking whether our one booking this season was a yellow card. I replied just with "You're so sweet."

Through again then, and a nice little Berks & Bucks run going too. It's nice actually, in any round you can get drawn against a top quality side and slaughtered, but it would have been unfortunate given the unfortunate sequence of our matches so far this season. Still, another cup game next week and then we can turn our attention back to league matters, hopefully showing what we're made of against the rest of the teams in our league. Quite ironic that Long Witts will have been sat there Sunday afternoon saying that they can't believe how they collapsed after going 4-3 down, after all the hard work they put in, sounds familiar doesn't it? Not really the same though, cos at no point had they been all over us, whereas we had been all over Partick. But ah well, we showd some character to win out in a frustrating game. 4 shoddy shoddy goals to give away, but we scored 2 shoddy ones ourselves. If we'd gone two goals up at any point in the 90 minutes then we'd have run away with it, even with that ref wanting it to go to penalties, perhaps he had nothing to go home to.

But there we are, good fun all round. Thought Hilly did well to not carry things on once the game got restarted, I can't ask anyone not to go mental when someone's just tried to headbutt them, but Hilly did the right thing, put the wind up the guy so much that he virtually asked to be sent off, then calmed down and got on with the game.

Goal machine Dave Lewis, he stole my cat.
