Pink Fairies - Do It

Ach, OK, Ah'll hae a go .... Winners: Spain ... errr no ... can never ignore Brazil ... so, ... Brazil. Golden Boot: Fuck knows ... Shankland if we can demolish Haiti thanks tae his hat-trick .... and he picks up a few mair in the one and only knock oot round ... itherwise, fuck knows. Player of Tournament: Some bugger naebody's ever heard o' afore. Scotland: Reach KO stage for first time ever ... the 'Scotland way' .... ie, we scrape a draw wi' Haiti and think ' ... 'at's us fucked'. We get oor airses handed tae us by Morocco and think ' ... 'at's us definitely fucked noo'. Then we get oot o' bed on the right side, get oor proper mannies fitba boots on, and gie Brazil a hidin' they'll nivver forget Dark horse: Mexico

Sounds brilliant. Teelin is down in the South West near Killybegs isn’t it? I’ll be at the opposite end on the Inishowen peninsula. Wife is from Derry. Spent my summers as a student hitch-hiking around Ireland going to festivals, camping, partying. Wonderful times.

... tae follow up tho .... as a 'fun' trivia question. If he's performing well, and a defo on the team sheet, where does Robinson play him? And who loses out but appears on the bench tae sub him out? (..like should his legs 'go' ). Ah'm askin' cos Ah dinna hae a clue

Knocked out 3 episodes before the Morocco Norway game. Really good stuff. Wife threw the towel in after 2, ‘too stressful’ apparently

Aye weel, Ah hope yer right ... Ah do like the guy, and agree, in a mair 'assertive' team he can dae a job .... but dinna be surprised if he ends up bein' awarded Shinnie's 'legs are gone' badge by a few on this forum an' beyond

Ah .... Donegal ... Ah've fond memories o' giggin' in Donegal .... at weddins. Stayin on for an extra day or two, takin part in pub sessions, enjoyin' the vibe, seein' Saw Doctors play in Donegal Square (a triangle actually ) .... the fun, the carnage . On one occasion, after a Fri night gig, we headed over tae a place called Teelin where we camped outside a pub and played for free food and drinks on the Saturday and Sunday .... and enjoyed the dramatic scenery in between. Hope you have a great time ... Ah'm sure ye will

I think that's a bit harsh. Armstrong was defo one of the stronger contributors for us this season and I think if you put him in a team that can dominate physically he's going to have a lot more freedom on the ball. This is not a player you want to be doing loads of leg work like he's had to this season. But he has done it, he's a good team mate and I have high hopes for Armstrong next season as he has guile which is rare in Scottish football.

Very good point .... and similar to what Ah think re. Gannon-Doak. Ah thought he was brill in the Bolivia game .... so much energy and pace despite the heat and humidity. Ah think this would be a key asset v Haiti ... but nae sure he'll get the opportunities or space against Morocco and def nae a sniff v Brazil. As a late sub maybe, but too much o' a gamble as a starter.

Looking at what we've brought in, and what we hope to add, where does Armstrong fit in? .... Is he the 'new Shinnie'? ... as in, he get's a couple of seasons where he only plays 45 mins per game? I personally believe he has not lived up to the hype and would wish him well on his way elsewhere .... hopefully for a decent fee (while his reputation is still largely intact) ..... £400k prob best Ah'd expect.

Watched the game. Second half Morocco changed most of team so harder to judge. They move the ball well and created a few chances that they should have taken but didn’t. They were same in African Nations. Lack of out and out goal scorer might be there undoing. Norway looked better when they brought on Oscar Bobb but that is caveated by changes Morocco made.

Had the last 15 mins on, hard to really judge anything by this stage of the game 2bh

I see Norway equalized, anyone watching??

Heading to the Dominican Republic on the 17th for a few days, staying in Punta Cana at the hard rock, will catch the Morocco game there. The Dominican is cheaper than the Bahamas or Jamaica as far as I know, newer holiday location so not as pricey I think. did a 6 day crusade of the Bahamas/Caribbean/cozumel last year, also good value. Living in Florida these aren’t that far away or expensive, plus they are all inclusive regarding food/meals so no hassle with food etc for the kiddos, very kid friendly holiday. unlikely it’s worth it coming from Britain though given the costs of flights these days, but if you can, certainly worth it.

Did Australia and New Zealand in February/March for our big holiday this year. Fortunate enough to live 6 months of the year in Spain so, health of my parents allowing, we are back there a week on Monday until end of July.

Morocco look good team so far. Move the ball well with pace and seem very comfortable on the ball all across the pitch. That said think Norway are unlucky not to be level as they had a goal chopped off for a very soft looking foul.

2025 we had city breaks to Budapest then Vienna, a fortnight in Corfu and then a couple of trips following AFC in Athens & Prague No European trips to finance this year, so away in a few days for a fortnight in Malta and then a fortnight in Corfu in late August/September

Just watched that this afternoon as well. Really good.

Morocco currently 1-0 up on Norway after 20 minutes. Morocco look better team than Brazil did last night. Games on ITV4 for those interested.

Morocco 1 up on Norway after 25 mins

Apparently able to walk off with aid of medical staff.

Christian Eriksson has collapsed on the pitch during Denmark friendly against Ukraine Hope he is ok
