Sun (I know I know) is reporting that Storey is going to Thistle tomorrow.

Not a great performance but we are through which is all that matters in the cup. Really need to get a striker in as the more I see of Maynard the less I like. Does not look like he knows where the goal is. As BB saidStorey did more in his 15 minutes than Maynard did in 75. Big Joe played well along with O'Connor and McLean. Christie showed in flashes along with Wright. Rest were pretty poor tonight. Large support but unusually quite for away day but that might have been down to the performance from the team.

Livingston beat Falkirk 2-1 in extra time.

Would expect couple of changes for this one to rest players as third game in under 7 days. Would like to see Storey given a shot at starting as he scored on Sunday but think McInnes will probably stick with Maynard. Not sure I would give the Accies defenders another full 90 minutes to try and end Wrights career. Maybe start Mackay Steven or Stewart and bring Wright off the bench when they are to tired to catch him. Well done to both sides for reducing admission to £10. In Lift through Away end Lift back to capital 2-0 Storey and McLean

Thought we played well enough against team who were intent on kicking us off the park and the ref let them. We need to get a striker in especially if Rooney's injury is long term. Maynard worked hard but does not look like he will score. Wright looks like he could develop into some player if we give game time.

Hun cunts 1 up already.

Stockley is suspended. http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/resources/documents/Disciplinary/CurrentSuspensions/Season2017/2018/SuspensionLists/LOS04%20(3%20August%202017).pdf

Mine arrived yesterday.

Fraser Fyvie signed for Arabs.

Hearts claiming delay is down them "forgetting" to order seats for the stand. http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/hearts/hearts-main-stand-delayed-after-club-forgot-to-order-seats-1-4522806

Hopefully Rooney fit as we need a striker who knows where the goal is. Stockley and Maynard just do not look good enough. Would think after heat tonight McInnes will want to give a couple of players a rest. Would expect Kari and Tansey to start and maybe Scott Wright. In (if my season ticket turns up) Pub Y Train back to the capital 1-0 McLean Edit: Is anbody else still waiting for their season ticket?

Game being abandoned is our only hope here.

Can refer it to UEFA if they think it breaches the financial fair play rules.

Really hoped they would give him until Christmas so he could have done irreversible damage to the cunts. Oh well here hoping they appoint Levein.

Of the goals listed it has to be Smiths against Copenhagen. Own personal favourite would be Lee Richardson against Torino.

For those in the Capital the Tron will be showing the game in the middle bar due to basement being used for the festival just now.

2 according to club site. League game on 6th cup on the 8th.

Used to travel up and down in the day from Edinburgh but now we have a kid that's not really on. So usually now stay overnight for games which adds to the cost. Cost is the major driver on attendance these days. Seems to be less and less cheap tickets available for trains. Not helped by games being moved at short notice which makes it difficult to book to far in advance.

Sunday after the Jute derby. Live on BT sport.

Saw suggested elsewhere that Motherwell are looking for a similar fee to the one they got for Johnson last year which was £650k. Cannot see us paying that much so they would need to drop that for a deal to be done. Depends on if they are prepared to let him leave for nothing.We may need to hold on to closer until the end of the window to see if they will reduce what they are looking for.
