It didn't really come as a great surprise when our home fixture with Livingston .

The weather has been causing havoc up and down the country ever since late last week and .

I've mentioned in previous blogs that we are lucky down at Annan due to our training facility at the ground and when other clubs might have struggled to get any work done we managed a decent work-out on Saturday afternoon.

The all-important Christmas schedule is well underway for clubs up and down the country and it's a great time for all football fans as the live games come thick and fast.

I mentioned at the beginning of the month just how important the next five fixtures were for Annan and although we've made a decent start in the two games that have already passed we're very disappointed to have taken only four points from a possible six.

We earned a good home on 5 December and followed that up with a against a Montrose side still searching for their first league victory of the season.

Saturday's match was without doubt a game of two halves where Montrose were the better side in the first period before we went on to dominate the second forty five minutes.

To say the manager wasn't best pleased with us at the interval is a bit of an understatement and I'm sure he could have given a run for its money!

As much as it's not nice to have your ears ringing during the half-time break it certainly did the trick and just like Arsenal did at Liverpool, we put in a much improved performance in the second half.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well.

We've had quite a lot happening since I spoke to you in my last blog. The much anticipated has been and gone, , two players have left the club and one of our players has been on a secret date with our manager!

I'm not going to speak too much about the World Cup draw as, unfortunately, Scotland have failed to get there once again but I'm really looking forward to the finals. There are a couple of cracking groups in there and I'm certain there will be a couple of early shocks during the group stages.

England have been drawn in a fantastic group in terms of getting through to the second round, although it doesn't exactly have that element of excitement. In all honesty, they would have struggled to hand pick a better draw. I do, however think they have a great chance of doing well in South Africa, although I'm not sure they will actually win it.

Well, after last week's controversy, I think I'll keep things closer to home this week.

I would like to make a quick apology for my late replies to last week's blog.

I was "celebrating" my 31st birthday last Thursday and my partner, Laura, spoiled me so much that my laptop activity was at a minimum until the Sunday.
