QPR sack their manager with Warnock returning on a temp basis until a new manager appointed.

As others have said a must win game this weekend. A loss would see us creeping towards the crisis headlines and serious questions would have to be asked of the manager. In Archies Y Archies 1-0 Dons Rooney.

Odd that some think that Soliders/airmen injured in conflicts since do not deserve support however as that includes soldiers who fought in Korea (some on national service so basically conscripts) and Falklands. Are they less deserving of financial support if injured?

From his showing at Hibs (I know only one game) then he is not even as good as useless. Looked totally out of his depth.

Draw for third round was made during the week. William Hill Scottish Cup 3rd Round Draw Stranraer v Buckie Thistle Queen's Park v Forfar Athletic Formatine United v Fort William/Cove Rangers Dumbarton v Alloa Athletic East Fife/Stirling Albion v Cumbernauld Colts Albion Rovers v Greenock Morton Falkirk v Turriff United/Fraserburgh Nairn County/Wick Academy v Linlithgow Rose Peterhead v Livingston Huntly v Lothian Thistle /Montrose Elgin City v Raith Rovers Airdrieonians v Brechin City Ayr United v Dunfermline Athletic Inverurie Loco Works v Annan Athletic Stenhousemuir v East Kilbride/Forres Mechanics Cowdenbeath v Arbroath Ties to be played weekend of Saturday 28th November Dons come in in the next round.

Normal service has been resumed. Taylor's challenge is beyond explanation. Hearts win today and we are down to third. I wonder if the clowns who were not concerned about going out the league cup still feel that way.

One of my pet hates. Glad to see someone taking a stand on them.

I think you are sadly right. Something has changed in the dressing room. Players no longer look like they are all pulling in the same direction and level of effort has dropped off alarmingly. I would not be surprised if McInnes was gone in next few weeks.

Sherwood punted by Villa.

Must win game for the Dons. Defeat and a doing off the Plastics next week could easily trigger a complete collapse and see us starting to slide down the league. Also the thought of that clown McGhee's grining puss if they were to win makes me feel ill. Getting one over on that fuckwit should be enough motivation on its own for the team. I would like to see Quinn in for Taylor at the back on Saturday and Shinnie going to left back. Got to assume Jack will return as well. I would like McLean to be played further forward but fact that Flood is shite and Robson is past it will probably mean he will sit deep besdie Jack. Oot Flat Edinburgh City v Buckie in SC Flat 1-0 , Rooney

Would be interesting to see him and Quinn playing together as they were decent when they both played together at Motherwell.

As Manc says this is one we really need to win against a team who we have struggled against of late with only one win in the last 5 games against them. Hopefully everyone is fully fit. Oot Flat Edinburgh City v Dalbeattie Star Flat 1-0 Dons Rooney

2nd round drawn today which included 3rd division sides. Inverurie Loco Works v Edinburgh University Nairn County v Whitehill Welfare / Wick Academy Cumbernauld Colts v Auchinleck Talbot / BSC Glasgow University of Stirling v Queen's Park Turriff Utd v Fraserburgh Edinburgh City v Buckie Thistle Formartine Utd v Clyde Elgin City v Spartans East Kilbride v Forres Mechanics Brora Rangers v Arbroath Annan Athletic v Berwick Rangers East Fife v Stirling Albion Huntly v East Stirlingshire Lothian Thistle HV v Montrose Clachnacuddin v Linlithgow Rose Fort WIlliam v Cove Rangers Ties to be played 24th October.

Man U game could have swung either way. Wolfsburg had plenty of chances.

Mixu's name being mentioned by a few Arabs I know.

Dermot Desmond on TV greeting about lack of Sevco in the top league. Utter cunt of a man.

Try going through LAX in kilt. You would have thought I was Bin Laden himself.

Rumour has it United have punted the wage thief. Edit: Confirmed by BBC that he is no longer United manager although still an employee of the club.

Draw for next round is Monday.

Shite. 2-1 defeat made worse by fact that Tims only drew. Great chance to extend the lead blown. Instead it's been cut. Only positive is that it's only been cut by 1.

2-1 Taylor.

2-0 now.

1-0 down. Not a great start.

Now Swiss authorities have confirmed that they are investigating Blatter. Allegations around a TV deal in 2006 plus payments to one Michel Platini. Looks like end for Blatter and also for Platini.

Friday night and no match thread! Return to league business with an early chance to get Wednesday's defeat out of the system. Hopefully a wake up call delivered that we cannot afford to take any game lightly. Assuming Shinnie is out would expect Quinn to come in at centre half and Considine to move to left back. Hayes coming back in to midfield maybe lessens a little the potential loss of Shinnie. Oot Flat Preston Ath v Fort William Flat 1-0 Dons Rooney.
