| TORQUAY UNITED v DERBY COUNTY FA Cup Round #1 |
| 1500 Plainmoor, Sunday 6 Nov 1500 |
| Strange occurence this, FA Cup game in November - first since '85? Still, we are where we are and still have a club |
| These games are always a potential banana skin (have you ever seen ANYONE slip on a banana skin?) to a big club like Derby and I feel more nervous about this than Tuesday's match. |
| Nothing has really happened in the wider world of any interest apart from some political criminal muck-ups in dealing with some desperate people and finding out that the PM's wife's company (draws £11.5m in share divs pa) is still dealing in Moscow!!!! Shock! Horror! but, listen, don't worry about it. |
| Long trip for the Faithful on Sunday to the genteel seaside resort - I know for a fact that there are many genteel watering holes and that a close relative will be playing for The Gulls -who's family are ex-pat Derby fanatics - so if he wins, he'll get no tea..... |
| Cashin will not serve his 5 suspension until next week - apparently he thought he would be serving it v Torquay but got it wrong. After the frustrations of the Morecambe game, it still looked that McGoldrick is getting up to speed but still worry about Otis (NML) playing wing-back which seems to knacker him out by 65 minutes. |
