Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Monday's

The Allman Brothers Band - Stormy Monday

Next game is same time as Scotland game is it not?

Typically I missed all the goals in this one.

New Order - Blue Monday

It's been a cracking game. Korea are a great attacking side, but defend set pieces about as well as Aberdeen.

I just checked out the rankings re. our WC group. Just to give a bit of perspective, having previously learned the rankings of our '98 group, I concluded that our 'failure' to progress was not as embarrassing as it felt, and def not as was reported. Brazil were ranked '1' ... Norway '7' .... Morocco ... '13' ..... Scotland '41' ..... Apply that to any 4 countries you like, and you'll conclude that any team ranked 41st had no chance of a point! .... let alone progress. Perspective? .... if the World's best 42 teams were arranged in terms of the Scottish league .... Brazil are Prem champs. Norway are top of the bottom 6. Morocco are celebrating automatic promotion to the Prem. Scotland are second bottom of Scots League 2 - one place above being demoted to the Highland League! This year? ... (latest FIFA rankings) with 2 of the same nations as last world cup? Brazil '6' Morocco '7' Scotland '42' Haiti '83' ...... Eighty fkn Three! ..... So .... using the 'perspective' model above ..... per the Scottish League, Brazil are Falkirk ... Morocco are Dundee United, Scotland are Edinburgh City and Haiti? .... I dunno how many divisions in the Highland/Lowland/Other leagues, nor how many teams in each, but ..... in terms o' rankings ... we're lookin' at a team droppin' out of the Scottish League goin' up against a poor pub XI .... so it's anybody's game ..... Perspective can be skewered, but expectations are best carefully managed

The second red was a complete and utter farce. If anything, the mexican should have been done for obstruction. It was completely unnecessary. Wasn't the greatest game, Mexico definitely deserved it and there was some noise coming through. I doubt the yanks will be anywhere near as vociferous. Too busy sat at tables eating their burgers on the side of the pitch

Yep, but not ridiculous for a ref to give that in real time. At least it was a proper foul. Nobody in the entire world wanted VAR to intervene for that second red. It's anti football shite. There's no way on earth that player would have been given a retrospective red in times past for that.

How were there 3 red cards in that game. There were hardly any fouls. Can see me not bothering with many games if this is how they are going to ref the tournament.

That game, if played in 1982, would have had 2 yellow cards.

And another red card That is seriously questionable as well I think

Game ruined. Aye, all of football. That is shite.

What a fecking joke that red card is South Africa down to nine men

Apparently his house is a right mess.

The Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes

100% this Literally just said this to the missus. Admittedly she just gave me a vacant look but she knows feck all about the glorious game and was complaining about Corrie not being on

Reckon we could take both these teams. Water breaks are fucking gash, get them in the sea. "Referee view" is an abomination.

The Mission - Beyond the Pale

Fucking three of them (incl Neville) are terrible.

And 90 minutes of fuckin Ally fuckin Mc-fuckin-Coist. I might have to turn it off (or maybe just down)

It was great to see an interview with Geoff Hurst about 1966 in the build up to Mexico v South Africa. Just what we all wanted!

Christ these wee plaaar intros have gotten even worse - each one wi an individual video now, waggling their hands or staring moodily at the camera. Poovery o the highest order.

Had to do a double take when I saw the lad called “Sithole”
