Ah, there was some amount of OTT hysteria from the pundits on the BBC last night. Did folk just expect the Paraguay players to roll Mbappe over and tickle his belly? Of course they’re going to use every trick in the book to even things up. To be fair, although there were a lot of fouls, there was hardly what you might call a proper hard tackle in the game. Watered down stuff compared to years gone by. Do folk forgot the treatment Caniggia got from Cameroon in Italy, this kind of thing has always gone on. Fergie used to get his players to rotate kicking the Arsenal players up in the air. All part of the game.

I get that, but not the loons fault. Offered a chance to go to Europe and make a name for himself. Joined a basket case of a club, football wise, and it didn't work out for him. Always felt a goal would have helped him settle a bit, but wasn't to be. I put no blame on the loon. 100% on the club.

Ramadani sell on clause money incoming. Reported as 10% clause so 100,000 euros to be banked

The ref in the France game was the same joker we had vs Morocco. Hopeless then, hopeless now.

Scottish refs really must be shit when jokers like that ref tonight are getting in ahead of them. Justice done in the end for the french. England in for some special treatment tomorrow too no doubt. Shame it’s 1am ko, doubt I’ll stay up for it.

England Mexico will be dirty too. Cartels will do fireworks around their hotel all night, although I’m sure they have been already. Expect bags of piss, dead chickens, as well as booze thrown at the players. They’ll get an experience they’ve never had before.

Justice done in the end. Paraguay were a disgrace some of thuggery on display was beyond belief. 3 French players booked and none for Paraguay dedpite Paraguay committing some brutal fouls. Ref as said above was rotten bordering on corrupt.

Really enjoyed that. That Paraguay side is what the world cup is all about. Dirty South American teams are a breath of fresh air. Some fantastic refereeing too to let it happen. Diving French cunts.

That was a horrible watch referee was dreadful never want to watch Paraguay play ever again Thank fuck France won

Dont think he’s been that good.

Ref has been dreadfu.

0-0 at the break. I imagine that the players have already got into the ice bath at half time.

France v Paraguay bring played in 37c.

It’s mental that he managed to chip the goalie and then do that. Just tap it into the empty net…

Takes ability to miss like that!

Ramadani also on the move, a €1m move to Turkey. Not sure what our sell on fee was but someone on X suggesting 10%.

Interesting comments from Robinson post-match. Said it's likely to be 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 this season. Was a few times I actually thought we drifted into a 4-4-2 today. Mouloua's season finished three weeks ago and he'll be available next week, but he expects it to be a while before he can handle Scottish football so I don't think he'll be starting many games at the beginning of the season. Knoester back in 3-4 weeks, but Tobers and Gyamfi are 6-7 weeks away.

2-0 for Morocco. Canada caught throwing everything forward.

My main concern with Olusanya wasn't the miss, because we know his finishing is pish already. It was that he was generally really poor anyway; was out paced and lost possession a lot. Maybe his confidence was gone after his miss, many he was just up against some very good players. But he didn't provide the bustling bullying of defenders we thought he was capable of. But, he shouldn't be playing as a striker in a front three. He should either be part of a front two or on the right.

Can you have a miss of the season, before the season starts?

As long as he is away, who cares.

That was really clever bit of play.

That's a well worked set piece to put Morocco ahead

Nothing each at half time. My money is still on Morocco, but then you know what they say about a fool and his money

Development team beat Invergordon 9-1 today but cannot find details of the team.
