Scotland begin their European campaign tonight.

'Mon the ref!

 

[AndyRM]

Good half from the mighty Scot. The French and Albanians have done alright too.

Got to say I've been impressed by the standard of refereeing, from what I've seen. Games have been allowed to flow which often isn't the case.

The football is a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be.

 

[ianrauk]

Albania should be in front by now.

 

[ianrauk]

France now turning the screw

 

[ianrauk]

aaw no.. such a shame... Albania were doing so well. Cruel.

These late goals are a bit of a money spinner

The Romanian and Polish fans are now on the rampage in Nice.
100 cars have been valeted and waxed, and 50 boilers repaired

 

[Levo-Lon]

We could shorten these games to 10 mins..

If Wales win this afternoon, will International Wendyball go away for a couple of years? The number of people at work who believe they have a god given right to bugger off and watch the football in the middle of the working day is staggering

 

[AndyRM]

So my English chums... Feeling confident?

My tactic would be to bring Stuart Pearce or David Batty out of retirement and get them to cripple Bale at the earliest opportunity. A light breath on Ramsey as they left the pitch should end his game too.

Thinking about it, I quite liked watching England a few years ago, probably because I was too young to get annoyed by all the hype.

Been 'lucky' in that my shifts have fallen just right this year.
Every England game I'm either off, or they start at 8pm (I finish at 7pm)

Another Scottish triumph at the tournament?

It does appear that the bookies have taken a bit of a hammering so far from me


Edit:
Last night I got 10/1 for the correct first goal scorer and then 18/1 (I had thought it might be higher but maybe they are getting hammered by a load of bets!) for France to score 2nd goal.


Bet 1 was placed about a minute before the goal
Bet 2 was placed about a minute after the 1st goal, deep into injury extra time
