Cracking photos Elgin, especially the last one!

I know that’s the point, But you know the reasons for it. That reason is a whole non footballing discussion. Folk comparing those countries coverage is totally irrelevant. The bbc (less itv as they’re not public I don’t think) are a public company that broadcast for the majority of their customer base. Rightly or wrongly, given that no other home nations qualified, that is the English. If you felt so strongly , boycott the bbc, you don’t need to watch it, especially given the technology out there. It would be a total waste of license fee money for them to send more than one team to cover the same stuff. I doubt the Scottish coverage would be any better anyway, they’d concentrate of the two cunts from Glasgow. Non biased coverage doesn’tappear to exist in the UK.

I like how the Sun played it like they had snubbed the dhimmery

Predictors would have taken a battering with those first couple of games. Brazil have been good but Serbia unfortunate not to have scored. Even the kiwis are laughing at the Germans going out. Amazed it’s registered. Was disappointed there wasn’t more laughing at the Aussies

Don’t disagree with that but surely we should be offloading a striker then? I’d rather we didn’t waste a wage for someone tonsit on the bench. Agree with LA , would prefer a youngster to do that.

Amazed his skin will cope out there, doesn’t look like he’s ever seen the sun

Dutch coverage is always very anti German, including adverts, generally with war references. They also used to mention holland a lot of the time when they qualified for tournaments. Bbc coverage is far from unique. Christ, go to South America if you want to see one sided coverage. Personally I think it’s scots moaning for moaning sake. With a large scoop of jealousy. There’s bigger things to worry about, just sit back and enjoy them screw it up against mediocre opposition

He was having the Argentinian “su padre” moment

What a second half. Nigerians should feel hard done by though, more than played their part

Christ, what an ending to Group B! I left for work with 12 mins to go, Iran were unlucky not to score just before I left, but didn't expect the Spain / Morocco score at all. Got to be one of the most open / well contested world cups in a long time.

Ah ffs, forgot to do today's games That's ended my meteoritic rise

Have never rated him as a keeper. Not watched the highlights yet but another howler doesn’t surprise me. Good result though and hopefully we can get past the poles later this week.

My question is, what creativity did Christie actually provide? He was utter horse shit for a lot of last season. I was thoroughly disappointed with him, given how well he'd played previously. I agree with the principle of buying someone who is young and exciting, despite his obvious skill I thought Christie lost the ball an awful lot, and held onto it far too long.

Did we really think Christie was any good at any point last season? Certainly latterly he was absolutely pish and a waste of a jersey. Personally, I'm not sure he offers us enough and tries too much himself.

I hate the hun as any other, but if a player improves us, regardless of where he comes from, i'm all for it. Unless they've got a proven criminal record like their latest signing. Folk seem to ignore the fact he played for both celtics beforehand He's just a mercenary, but a talented one at that.

Was still one of the best players in the league. I think he’d have been a decent enough stop gap. Just not sure who we’d get rid of to accommodate him mind

Wow, some goal by Kroos! Had read it was something special but didn't expect that at all Toivonen, horrible player, so i'm pleased the swedes lost purely because of him. They should have had a penalty though, not sure why VAR wasn't used?!? Hate to say it, but this world cup is bubbling along very nicely

Tim mate doesn’t think that’s happening. He’s usually relatively on the money for them. Not that I really care

Premier sports will be gutted

Tim mate of mine said they're going to go for Patrick Roberts on the back of it. Wasn't he distinctly average last season?

I have faith that once the game approaches your mood will change. It’s a different team, one we’ve never played . Smell of the turf and glow of the lights. Perfect summer night game. And no potential ambushes to regular fans for a change. Not all bad seebass. Think it’ll be a cracker of a tie. Who knows what’ll happen. Also, to the clarets on the board. Our away end is pretty awful for views . If you think palace away is tight, wait for this just as well your away lot usually stand anyway

Absolutely, easily one of my favourite midfielders of the past 10 years. That midfield performance from Croatia was something to behold.

Good old hatters, ruining the fun for all.

Watched cardinal tonight. What a fucking waste of time.
