You wait more than three months for a home win, and when it arrives it's in a cup tie against a team from a higher division boasting a player/manager who's a former Scotland international. Stevie Crawford has been manager of East Fife since the start of the season, but I'm sure losing a Scottish Cup tie against lowly Montrose won't be terribly high on his list of achievements. Montrose were the better...

I spent two days this week in London. In my late teens, when it became apparent that I was going to be studying journalism at university, I always assumed that I'd end up working in London. Life didn't play out that way, and I've been to London less than a dozen times since my first visit in 1999. I always look forward to heading down to the big smoke - especially when my employer is paying, as was...

Today, as is my usual practice every second Saturday, I set off around 2pm bound for Links Park. The focus of today's attention was to be Montrose v Berwick, but when I arrived at the ground at 2.20pm it was apparent all was not well. Groups of people huddled in the shelter of the ground's front entrance, and the turnstiles weren't open. Angus has been bombarded by torrential rain over the past few...

Today, despite hammering rain at the time I left the house, the fact that it was freezing cold and that Wales v Scotland was on the telly, I went to Links Park, handed over my hard-earned (OK, let's just pretend it's hard-earned) cash and watched Montrose come away with a point. They deserved all three. Stranraer are dire, but Montrose have regressed so far over the past few months that even a home...

Good grief it's been nearly two months since I reported back. So much has happened that I've forgotten most of it. Yesterday, which I can remember some of, took me to the David Lloyd Tennis Centre near the Ashludie roundabout, where I spoke to a roomful of Enterprise Coordinators from Angus Cooncil. They were actually teachers charged with encouraging enterprise education and Determined to Succeed....

It's now official - I support the worst "professional" football team in Scotland. A measly two points from the first quarter of the season tells as much of the story as should be necessary - no wins from the opening nine matches. As is the case with fans of most shite teams, I'm adamant that Montrose are better than this. Except they're not. The defence is largely anonymous. Paul Quinn could...

Is it a bird, is it a plane..... yes it's a Tornado fighter which I've no idea how I managed to catch....pure luck! All these pics were taken within about 20 minutes of each other at Lunan Bay. A demonstration of just how varied the skies are at the moment. I literally did a 360 degree turn and snapped away and the difference in the skies was remarkable. The Bay lies about half way between Arbroath...

It was a shock this afternoon when news broke that Chelsea have been banned from signing players until January 2011. To me, and my fellow football-following colleagues, it was an unexpected announcement - none of us could remember hearing about the case before today, and none of us had heard of Gael Kakuta. (I'd be willing to wager that even most Chelsea "fans" were oblivious to his existence...
