The Football.....

Stuart MCall's barnet takes some beating, why doesn't a friend say something? He's had the same stupid haircut since 1983, only the length of the mullet changes. It looks like a guinea pig that somebody has thrown at him from across the street...............

I was at a wedding so annoyingly missed our match and forgot to tape it. A solid result against a team we've struggled against in the past. From what I've been told by mates at the game we played some nice football and should have scored a few more.

I was surprised that Germany lost against their feeder team. That's some comedown after the World Cup.

@MarkF - that's one of the funniest descriptions of anything I have ever read. There should be a multiple like option on here.

1-0 against Estonia. Half the match with 10 men. No goals in open play.






*sigh*

I see that Gibraltar are now recognised as a national team .http://www.independent.ie/sport/soc...o-know-about-gibraltar-football-30653901.html

Their keeper was extremely unlucky with the goal as well. From the highlights, England can count themselves fortunate to come away with 3 points.

I think in Sterling you've got the kernel of a genuinely class player. If Hodgson and Rodgers are given time to nurture the boy he could be great. The reality will probably be that England scoosh qualifying but get knocked out the group at Euro 2016, resulting in the myopic sacking of Hodgson. Liverpool will continue the mother of all hangovers and finish in the bottom half of the table, costing Rodgers his job.

They'll both earn a bag of money and the relentless English football behemoth will trundle on, confining Sterling to a bit part in a career which could have been so different.

Sterling's 'tiredness' was discussed with compassion and insight on 5 Live last night.

You reckon you could have hacked the physical and mental pressure he is under when barely out of puberty?

I know I couldn't.

I just got a stream up for the Poland - Scotland match about 60 mins in and then it fizzled out just as Poland equalised but I still got good entertainment. Some very neat passing and tackling from the Scots and one hell of an onslaught from Poland. That group's looking a bit topsy turvy but a draw in Warsaw is still a good result.

Fair play to Norn Iron too... 3 wins on the bounce...

And Ireland getting a last minute equalizer against the Germans

You must look back on that and wish you weren't too late to go back and un-post it? That has to be, hands down, with all due respect, the biggest load of tripe you've ever cobbled together. I'll tell you what, as you've committed yourself to stand by it, I'll save it and we'll look at this together in May, and see how gifted you are in the Mystic Meg stakes, shall we?

The biggest load of tripe I've cobbled together? Nothing I've said is unreasonable, nor would it be surprising.

With all due respect etc...

You have made the mistake of daring to have a realistic opinion about Liverpool; you must never do that again.

Ah, money. Ruining fitba since god was a boy.

My apologies. I'd forgotten their divine right to sit at the top table of the game despite having done f£ck all since 2005/the eighties.
