The Football.....

[13 rider]

I'd say it's another 90 mins of my life wasted but that would be unfair on Slovakia, they keep breaking forward even though down to 10 men

95 mins you mean . Got away with that one thankfully I only watched the second half . Dreary or what

Just watched the Scotland team sing the national anthem, one question sprung to mind: "Who the f*ck are they?"

Anyway, a good win for Forfar Athletic yesterday, beating Raith Rovers 3-2 in the IrnBru Cup; Raith are 2 leagues above Forfar. I also had a wee bet on over 4.5 goals in the game (there has been an average of 5 goals in all Forfar games this season) so that was nice.

In the amateur game, we got gubbed 4-0. A shocking display.

The bookies don't think there will be many goals in the Scotland game, 11/10 for over 2.5 goals. Malta have conceded an average of 4.75 goals in their past x games (I'm not sure how many games but they mentioned the number on Off The Ball on the radio yesterday). I have stuck a groat on it.

Blyth beat Frickley 3-1 in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup today.

I can almost smell Wembley.

Frickley Town. Now that's a blast from the past! "Gret Arrod" used to play them in the northern prem'.

That lead didn't last long

That lead didn't last long

Indeed, but only one more goal needed to win my bet

When did that bloke from the dreary mind numbing Coldplay start playing for us? He should have stuck with singing boring shite songs.
Last time I had any expectations of the Scotland team was in 1978.

That penalty decision for Scotland has to be the most baffling ever. Not that I'm complaining...

You sure that wasn't 74? We've had so much world cup glory it's easy to get all those outstanding results confused.

I remember the time when qualifying was never in doubt* for Scotland, and growing up it was a case of "I'll go to the next Euro/WC**..."

*I doubt anyone born after 1978 knows how this feels

**I never did
