Penalties in the Morocco v Nigeria game.

New manager at Real not getting off to a good start. Losing 3-2 to Albacete in Spanish cup. Albacete currently 17th in second division and their first ever win over Real Madrid.

Surprisingly finished 0-0 so going into extra time.

Much better game between Morocco and Nigeria but same half time result as the first game. Both sides had chances and hard to call who will win this one.

Finished 1-0 Senegal. Missed second half as went out to get picture with Scottish Cup.

0-0 at half time. Senegal with all the possession but unable to breakdown a stout Egyptian defence. Cannot remember Egypt touching the ball in the Senegalese box in first half.

First game today is Senegal v Egypt at 5pm followed by Morocco v Nigeria at 8pm.

But that is the whole idea of the set up club have adopted is to have a style of place across all teams teams. This style is supposed to be set by the Director of Football and he is supposed to recruit coaches who will play that philosophy. I think Lutz Pfannenstiel was hired by club because he would implement the style the club are already trying to play so little chance we will move away from playing out from the back or inverted wingers sadly.

It’s an odd one. Not as if he had a history of making a quick impact at other clubs and might get them into Europe. Been out of work since sacked by Middlesbrough in the summer.

Manchester City win 2-0 with goal right at death

Back to 1-0.

This VAR review is outrageous. 5 minutes trying to decide on offside. They are killing the game.

Manchester City 2-0 up with Semenyo’s second of night. Cheeky bastard with a back heel.

Finlay Marshall with a double for Arbroath against East Fife in KDM cup.

Manchester City 1-0 up with Semenyo getting his second goal in two games for City.

Carrick confirmed as United manager until end of season.

Shows what we know 0-0 at half time.

Not touched that game. Went on 3 German games tonight. One up, Stuttgart 3-2 winners, Dortmund and Mainz both 1-0 up at half time.

Alfie Stewart’s loan deal at Inverness extended.

Think he is too weak for our league. Easily brushed off the ball and rarely wins a tackle. Would probably be best for both parties if Polvara moved on. MLS would be best move for him as not as physical as our league.

Youth team play Dundee at Cormack Park on Friday in quarter final of youth cup.

Michael Carrick is favourite to get Manchester United job until end of season.

Oh I would not criticise anyone for going. This is personal choice. If hadn’t been in 90 and 98 I may be feeling differently.

Not my Dundee supporting brother anyway.
