World Cup Diary Blog #12

Not good headlines in the press today - as we expected.  The gaffa read us the riot act last night.  We all know the performance and the result were not good enough.  Everyone who played tried hard but things just didn't work out for us.

Surprised to hear the fans jeering us after the game - especially since the boss said that we wouldn't be having any booze while we were here.  Just goes to show he doesn't know everything.

Spoke to Mrs D after the game - she said that most of the WAGs are keeping their heads down for while.  Although a couple have already sneaked into South Africa Mail Online

Carra getting booked might turn out to be good for me - really now hoping I will get a game on Wednesday - but I probably won't find out until just before we leave for the ground..

Still keeping options open about Butlins at Skegness.  If we have an early exit from WC then we will save some cash as Mrs D won't be coming over to South Africa.  With the money we save we can upgrade to a Premium Gold Apartment.

Spent the day in Cape Town relaxing and meeting fans around the city - trying to build some bridges.

We're on the bus right now and expect to get back to Rustenburg about 11.00pm.  Everyone's a bit quiet - it's really weird.

Start work tomorrow on getting things right for Wednesday.
