If we could get Douglas Alexander to fuck as well, that would be good.

Players Name? Who is the player to Jinkys left.

My post should have said I'm fairly certain it's Alan Rough. I dug out my Panini sticker book 78-85 and was looking at the players listed above. I didn't think it was AR, but the 81 picture, convinced me otherwise. - Today

If I were a betting man, I wouldn't be rushing to stick the mortgage on us being in the next round.

So much for Turkey being dark horses.

Players Name? Who is the player to Jinkys left.

Im almost certain that it is -
We apparently have at this monent a 73.5% shot at getting out of the group Make of that what you will

This is the first time that this particular format has been used, so precedent doesn't apply. There's a good chance of going through on -1. Probably 50-50. Why are shots on target a measure of anything? Our goal was to try and get a point against the 8th best team in the world, whilst not getting pumped in the process. A fairly difficult balance. We restricted them to three shots on target if we're using that measure. Had we gone for it and lost 3-0, Clarke would have been getting slated. Our Parkhead performances are riddled with huge deficits, because they are miles better than us. The one time we beat them, in the cup final, was with a performance similar to Scotland's last night. Morris' deflected cross equivalent could easily have happened to one of Gannon Doak's efforts, or McTominay with his back to goal. Or we could have got lucky with a vociferous VAR team insisting on a pen. Edit: I forgot the most important part! We lost a goal after a minute. Any plans to be stuffy for the first 20 before building on it went out the window. The objective was to get to half time from that point on. Rest and regroup. They were very clearly stunned for the opening period.
-
I didn't realise that head to head came into it. That's a nonsense in a four team group. Why on earth would they deliberately make third fixtures in groups have nothing to play for?
-
Only 4 3rd placed teams drop out so we must have a chance Just have to draw with Brazil to make sure
-
It's a big ask for four third placed teams to have a worse record than us. Not impossible, but then being struck by lightning twice is not impossible.
-
More likely to concentrate on point 10 than anything else
-
Apparently no team has gone through to the knockout stage as a third place team with one win and a negative goal difference. It won't start now. Our players have let themselves down and are delusional to say any different. They think they were unlucky but they weren't. They deserved what they got and were lucky it wasn't worse. Sure we did great to actually get there but what is the point when you don't even give it a go. Zero shots on target. Appalling first half showing. I appreciate Morocco are no mugs but it just stank of our Parkhead efforts.

You’ll be able to tell straight away what path he’ll take. Given who the cunt was that stepped aside for him, I’m pretty sure I know. More of the same but better packaged. I’m not one of those edgy fast moving horse whispering spin doctors who have their finger on the pulse of every focus group going but if I was him, I’d do the following and id do it quickly 1. Sanction Isreal 2. Replace the Home Secretary 3. Start chatting up the EU 4. Remove the whip from Glasman 5. Stop treating protesting grannies as terrorists 6. Stop listening to JK Rowling. She’s mental 7. Tax billionaires inside out 8. Start Levenson 2 9. Start hounding the PPE profiteers 10. Fold Dundee Utd

Hope he is a better coach than pundit
-
I think they are still out. If they finish level on points with Oz, then the head to head record means that Australia will finish above them.
-
Calling people names without showing the audience? What a fucked up game it's become. Edit: also, the commentator said that Turkey would be going home, but they can still get through if they win their next match. There is a good chance that third place in this group finishes below Scotland, if we only lose by a goal. All the others are up in the air a bit.

That's true. What is weird is that I've heard numerous people treat Burnham as some sort of saviour. From people in the greens for example. As if he's going to change British politics in some fundamental way. It's strange. He's just another professional middle class man, who'll talk about "grown up politics" and other obsequious phrases designed to make himself look competent and "statesman-like" (whatever the fuck that means), disguising the fact that he does fuck all. Because the system he's part of allows him to do fuck all, and he's comfortable with that. Any Labour voters I've heard talking about it suggest that he's the man that will keep both Reform and the Tories out. That's the absolute height of their ambitions. Does anyone really look at the world's problems, the multiple crises facing the planet and think that Labour Vs Tories is the relevant thing here? Anyway, good luck to him, I'm sure he's a lovely chap.

Looks like Raphinha may be out. Hamstring. He’s not set the world alight at the tournament anyway but he could easily make a James Hunt out of the likes of Hanley with his pace.
-
Paraguay had the first player sent off for covering his moo under the new rules. They still won 1-0.

Just up. That wasn't a terrible performance against a good team in the end. The 4-1-4-1 was probably the right call, with Ferguson excellent in the holding role. Felt a bit sorry for Hanley, he justified his selection the other night but he was just caught short at the start despite an otherwise solid performance. Henry was very good alongside him. Subs made an impact, with Gannon Doak and McLean doing very well, and we probably had enough pressure to maybe sneak a goal. McGinn was honking, and McTominay not significantly better, similar to the first game. I thought the ref was very good, let the game flow. Scotland, in particular, were throwing themselves to the ground at every opportunity, and he bought none of it. It's why VAR was right not to intervene on the McTominay incident. It would have been re-reffing. McTominay let his legs crumble a little and I'm fairly certain the ref got a view of that in real time, with the decision completely in line with the way he'd handled the rest of the game. The folk who wanted VAR, and then told us that VAR should intervene only when it's really clear and obvious, are obviously now the ones telling us that VAR should have intervened. We didn't deserve a point in the end, but at the same time didn't deserve a hiding, and 1-0 not a terrible result. With Brazil comfortably beating Haiti, there's a chance that they could take the foot off the pedal if Morocco aren't banging them in against Haiti. A -1 goal difference would likely see us through.
-
I think it's been like that for quite a number of years now. Spin over substance.
-
On Saturday 27th June, Aberdeen start their pre-season warm up by getting the bus down to the Balmoral Stadium to take on Cove Rangers. Hopefully the new signings get a run-out and we win 2-0.
-
There seems to be some behind the scenes goings on, to get Starmer to step down and Burnham to move into the PM role without a leadership contest.
-
If they play the game of their lives, then we might get something from this. I don't think they will, though. 3-0 Brazil.
-
Burnham would appear to have a politically chameleonic quality. He's sellable though, with an eye for a soundbite. That's what matters these days isn't it?
