Nigeria win 4-0. Most comfortable win of all last 16 games so far.

Nigeria cruising through first half against Mozambique. 2-0 up at half time.

Just seen that. If they had kept him as interim until then end of the season initially they probably win the league cup and win last Saturday.

Egypt win 3-1 after extra time.

Finished 1-1 so going into extra time. Been really good game so far.

We did and gave him the victory that kept him in job for a few weeks extra.

Nasty injury to Egyptian full back Hamdy who looks to have dislocated his knee cap just on half time. 0-0 at half time.

Martin ONeill back in until the end of the season would be my guess.

That was quick.

Just repeating what I was told. Only discussions have been with the DOF and head of recruitment. Mate has said players have found it odd not speaking with manager as it’s what happens elsewhere.

No idea on those 3. Guessing they were on his request but that’s a guess as I said. Only know what I was told about negotiations on others.

Thing is from what I have heard from a mate who is an agent Thelin had no part in discussions for players. Everything was carried out with DOF and head of recruitment. Not having coach in place in this system should not prevent recruitment occurring.

From his statement after the Leeds game yesterday think it was pretty much inevitable that this was coming.

Today’s games Egypt v Benin 4pm Nigeria v Mozambique 7pm

If we are following the process Pfannenstiel will already have a list of coaches that can come in and mean minimum disruption to the supposed system we are implementing so this should be a relatively quick process. Only delays will be if the preferred candidate is currently employed and his current club do not want to let him go.

Cameroon book their place in quarters against Morocco following 2-1 win over South Africa. Entertaining game with Cameroon almost chucking away a 2-0 lead at the end.

Morocco pushed all the way by Tanzania before a goal keeping error (sound familiar) handed Morocco a 1-0 win.

Being reported in Daily Record

That player has been injured since November so wonder if that is why it’s gone quiet.

Meant to say player is allegedly Luke Graham at Dundee.

Suggestion is Spurs have interest from English teams and chance of game time. Heard a yesterday we are in for a centre back but up against English team.

Being reported Dorrington is away back to Spurs.

Yeah would agree on Keskinen one of our better players in last few games. Gyamfi looks like he has no idea how to play left back/left wing back. Constantly out of position against Hibs. Definitely looks like a project player rather than a first team ready. I think we need a left back in who is ready to play now.

If someone just looks at stats 6 goals in 23 matches for a winger might be enough to get a team needing goals to bid.
