Be interested to hear from you if the Kiwi's have changed their licensing laws since the 2006 world cup.
Was quite irritating being chucked out of their pubs just as a game was going to extra time although it was satisfying finding a nightclub 3 doors along from the said pub which was showing the England v Portugal match extra time and not taking the time to tell the angry mob of england fans who were threatening to riot on the streets of Wellington.
Got to watch the game on a 14in portable telly hung on a bracket in the corner too so it was very nostalgic.
Personally I reckon Russia will get pumped out of the group stages
Livingston Promoted.
Partick were shocking over both ties and Connor Salmon showed that for all the hype he has had over his career he just isn't a goalscorer
'The Young Person's guide to becoming a Rock star' box set now available on All4
Hadn't seen it since its original run in 1998 and its one of my favourite ever programmes.
Quite fun spotting the areas of Glasgow, particularly the bits they try to pass off as London.

I like to think of it as a no lose situation
Motherwell win - GIRFUY
Celtic win - 2 weeks extra rest for Dons and less chance of a Bohemiens/ Skonto Riga incident.
But I will be hoping its a Steelmen win. I like to think Rodgers grip on the SPFL is starting to crack and not winning the treble would nicely stock the paranoia of the Tic given they shipped 24points from last season and lost that unbeaten home record.
Should they fail to make the Champions league (or better yet the Europa league) the natives will start getting restless.
Freddy Ljunberg
Roy Keane
Kolo Toure
Joey Barton
Niko Kranjcar
All turned up towards the end of their careers to much 'excitement' and press masturbation and were found wanting.
One really robbed celtic blind too.
But then again footballers are not known for their intellects.
I do admire Defoe but my cynical mind says the EPL refs give alot of protection to their players which even with OF bias is not the same North of the border. I feel a certain Mr Brown & Mr Shinnie and most of the Motherwell & Hearts team would give him a welcome he hasn't experienced since his youth days.
Torres ain't leaving Athletico Madrid for anything other than an MLS pay off.
I had to google the other one
Partick staring relegation in the face
2-1 defeat away to Livi tonight and supposedly they were shocking.
Livi's away record is better than their home record too
Finished with 4th Best Attack (after Sevco, Tic & Brazil 1970) and 2nd Best defence (after the Tic)
Scored 18 fewer goals (Dingus being punted by Motherwell didnt help ) and conceded 2 more than last season.
For the other clubs the tic ended up scoring 33 goals less than last season. Here's to that trend continuing
Looks like Hibs are 'Hibs-ing' it tonight.
If they don't get at least a point they kiss goodbye to 2nd and the only way they can get 3rd will be to beat
Sevco 6-0.
Stage 1 Building warrant for Phase 1 was registered on 25th April
Be interested to see if this one jumps the queue at the Council Building Control Office
Arabs currently 3-2 down at home to Livingston.
Livi scored in the 2nd minute only for the Arabs to equalise instantly then go in 2-1 up at half time
Livi then scored 2 goals in 3 minutes.
Willo Flood just been sent off for the arabs too
I know there are the arguments that its better for Scottish football to have the arabs in the top league (seems those arguments are never quite as vocal for their city rivals) and I'm no fan of Livingston but I am enjoying their current exile
