Antipodes in rarotonga. Fantastic restaurant overlooking the Pacific. Good food and nice vibes. Despite the number of aussies. In wellington, having been there for nearly 2 years, we've established our favourites so far. Tatsushi. Japanese restaurant, and authentically so. Which is a bit unusual here and they're usually full of Chinese staff. Fantastic sashimi and good traditional and seasonal food. Pomelo. You'd think this would be Italian, but nope, Asian fusion. Again, very good seasonal dishes and actually really well priced. Views across the city are nice too. There are a couple of others that we probably need to visit a few more times, but for its size, we've a cracking variety of good restaurants.

Excellent work TC, don't expect commission though

Thank goodness for that result. A win for them would have been unbearable.

Dm already said no more business in his post match presser did he not?

Huns will win something this season. Possibly even the league if the tims continue to be shite.

Interesting one this. Much like us, started well, but have faded and got pumped by Livi the other week. Difference being, they're still scoring goals. Really need to build on the fact we didn't concede last weekend but we also need to actually start getting some shots (on or off target). Hard to see what will change this weekend, but hopefully see Hedges get a run about. Still don't understand why he didn't play last weekend. DM needs to play more attacking, we cannot continue with this turgid pathetic attempt at football. Added spice this weekend, Dicky foster has just signed for them. Out Breakfast Checking out Rarotonga Probably the above 1-1, McGinn

It has a DM signing written all over it

Personally, I'd make sure we had someone that could provide him with service before putting him in the first team. Don't want his confidence being shot and DM has a history of fucking it up. A loan to a top end champ club would be my preference (until Jan) then bring him back and see what he's made of.

We need a striker, a right back, an attacking mid (or 10) and a winger imo. We're not going to get any of that, despite the creative players absolute urgency. It's hard to see how we're going to score this season after what seemed to be a promising start. My Killie mate thought they'd actually finish above us Previous seasons have come to bite him (DM). Big time. Edit: Agree with you Rico, apparent safe signings are what has killed this team.

Well, that's not the result I was expecting to wake up to. Hadn't not won in his 13 games down there. Truly a sign of the times. And worryingly, no goals in what four or five games? That's pathetic. What happened to trying Wilson through the middle?!? Ffs mcinnes get your shit together.

Really hope they get a better owner this time round.

Couldn't really care less about the naming of the pitches, I guess if that makes the fans feel better, then it's a smart move by the club. I suppose it makes sense if they're going to be used by the community / public at some point.

Would take any money for him. Don't rate him and the manager doesn't appear to know how to use him either. Best for all parties if he moves on.

So back to league action this weekend after the...highs...of last weekend. I've missed not having any euro qualifiers this week, although given our last few performances, my blood pressure hasn't. Killie are pretty pish this season, but then again, we've not exactly set the heather alight. Hopefully the win last weekend gave the team a wee confidence boost. Really need to start and find that feel good factor we had after Hearts. Out Bed Bed Bed 2-1 Dons, Cosgrove and Hedges

I'm not against it, he's stumped up a decent whack and will probably become chairman eventually.

Saw McCardle play for Bradford a couple of times against Millwall. He was a good solid CB, but that was 4 years ago now.

Sad to see so many NW English clubs struggling badly. Bury are due to be closed at the end of the week. Shit state of affairs, as it's the fans that suffer, not the owners.

Welcome to the A-league. VAR, a system developed for the TV audiences.

Celtic fans would drive him to us. Yes, he's that bad. I'd much rather Ambrose if you offering either of them.

Christ, those highlights really were as bad as you'd all made them out to be. However, bottom line is, DM managed to change it up and we got a result. Somehow, we're through and that's the main thing. Bonus missing either of the cheeks, but we'll have to be much better to get a result against Hearts.

Whilst I agree with most of what you have said LA, I think if the fans start turning their back on the club in their droves, they'd have to look at it. I'd imagine regardless of actual squad depth, we're probably paying a fair whack for a number of those players. Drop in ST sales would have hurt them already. That said, would that offset what they'd have to pay him off after offering him another ridiculous deal? No.

Hendry!?! Fuck that. I'd rather the cash. One of the worst footballers around.

Meant to add, Hearts first team through to the 1/4s after beating motherwell 2-1 last night.
