Results didn't really go our way this week, with saints obviously beating us last night and arabs winning tonight. Both teams are now only 3 points behind us, and we play tractor saints on the weekend. A game that is notoriously tough for us to win. So Goldie, hope you bring us some luck!

Elsewhere, tims beat hearts 2-1, hibs drew 0-0 with Well, as did Perth Saints vs Dundee, huns beat livi 1-0.  Only real positive is that neither Hibs or Well pulled away from us. Whether we're able to make the most of that remains to be seen.

Arabs are now level on points and only behind us on goal difference.

Some 1st half in Ecuador v Brazil game. 1-0 Brazil, 3 lengthy VAR reviews, 1 red card each and another for Brazil overturned in one of the VAR reviews. Challenge by Ecuador keeper for first red would not have looked out of place in a Bruce Lee movie. Can’t wait for 2nd half. 

[Jute]

Second half was just as wild. Finished 1-1. Ecuador had another goal chopped off that should have stood but was not reviewed by VAR and two penalties overturned by VAR plus Alisson had a second red card rescinded on VAR review. 
 

Paraguay v Uruguay on now.

County score in the 800th minute of stoppage time to draw 3-3 with the Hun. Conspiracy.

[RicoS321]

Decent results all round for us with utd and Hibs both losing. Hearts out of sight like.

Sex Pest had a howler.

Shame really.

Victims giving Tribute Act a bit of a chasing at the moment. Only saving grace for Tribute Act is McGregor has kept it at 1-0 so far. 
 

Already got the fear for next week. 

[Jute]

2-0 now cracking strike from Hatate. 

[Jute]

3-0. Victims are playing some fantastic stuff. I am now really worried about next week.

Agreed.

Can't see us laying a glove on them if they play with the same intensity against us

Seems to be getting some rave reviews. Tim mate of mine absolutely loves him. We’re fucked.

Hahahahahahahahuns

Apologies to anyone watching the Cameroon v Egypt game. I have bet on both teams to score doubled with yesterdays semi final so this 0-0 is my fault. 

[Jute]

Went all the way to penalties. Cameroon folded under pressure of being hosts and missed 3 out of 4 penalties.

Senegal v Egypt in final on Sunday.

As much as it is entertaining that Middlesborough have equalised, it only adds to my lack of understanding of the current handball rules?
Suggestion from commentators is had the boy who handballed it scored, it would have been disallowed, but because he fluffed the shot and his teammate put it in, the goal stands

My only lack of understanding is why you're not watching the top of the championship clash?

Some game, Arbroath beating Killie to go 4 clear. They are fucking intense like, some team.

Didnt realise it was on 

[Jute]

Manchester United eliminated on penalties. They paid penalty for missing some good chances in first half. Whoever takes over there is going to have to carry out major surgery on that squad as it is full of overrated dross.

I see McInnes still can't win against the big teams.

Aye, and a former player in Nicky Low returning to haunt him with a great performance. To be fair to McInnes, Arbroath look a very difficult team to play against, especially at gayfield. They're very physical and like a punt, relying on the wind to do something for them. It'll be very interesting to see how Hibs fair against them. I suspect if they go an hour without scoring, Arbroath could be favourite.

Thought Nicky Low looked really good last night but what the fuck was that haircut about

Mental that Low was playing Non league football recently.

African Nations final on just now. Really thought this would be a good game but both teams have cancelled each other out. 
 

Referee for the final is from Uruguay. Been really good but surely they should have had an African ref for the final. Can imagine the uproar if an South American ref took the finals of the Euros.

You sure about that?

Your right he is South African. No idea where I got the impression he was South American.
