Tomorrow’s match will be Dalkeith boss Kevin Haynes’ penultimate game in charge of the club after he expressed his wish to resign at the end of the season, citing a lack of player commitment. 

“I felt I was just wasting my time,” said Haynes. “Players have just been letting me down left, right and centre, and enough was enough. 

“Training has not been so bad, it’s been games. When I played football, football came first; you worked your social life around football, but now it is the opposite. People can get to football if they don’t have anything else on. It’s just become too much for me, I don’t know how people manage to stay as a manager for 20 years or whatever working at this level, and I just found it difficult. 

“There’s been times this season where we’ve won games and we’ve been looking to get the same team out but you’ve got four people missing because of a stag do or a musical festival or their budgie has died. It becomes infuriating. 

“I decided to resign and they asked me to stay on until the end of the season. I was committed to do the full season at the beginning of the season so I wouldn’t want to leave the club in the lurch. It’s a good club, with some good people in it. 

“I was saying to the wife that this is my 30th consecutive season in football and it’s going to be weird in a couple of weeks when I’ve not got it.”

Troubles ahead if players not committed to the cause.

Or maybe just Big Time Charlie's waiting for their EoS debut and big wages the move brings with it?
