The lower down the pyramid you go, the more entertaining the football, in my experience. Lots of goals, big tackles and silly mistakes. It does seem that some fans genuinely enjoy the more technical nature of the elite game, but I’m not one of them.

Currently being a passionate Wycombe and England supporter, entertainment wise, it has become extremely difficult to watch.
I’m off to watch a game of bowls !
Also why I really hope Faroe Islands vs Gibraltar gets broadcast on Monday. Should be a good game with both sides thinking they can get a rare win.
Only a Col U fan would have any justification for uttering those words.
Chairboys (or Chair Bodgers if you’re really going back in time) is in the fine tradition of nicknames referencing historical industries from the time of the club’s founding.

I didn’t see the England game as I was at (a very wet) BBQ. Looking at the scoreline, I’m pretty glad I did miss it!
Tuchel has obviously been watching Doddsball!

Uriah Rennie has died. One of the better referees of his time and obviously a trailblazer. Hate to think how much abuse he took. Early sixties - no age- poor sod.

Some really sad news from a referee who broke unwritten barriers for everyone of his skin tone.
I know he has been struggling recently, it was well documented that he was paralysed from the waist down after he had retired. He was known as being one of the fittest referee’s in the Premier League during his time.

Very sad news. And 65 is no age at all.

Bartolo dropped to the bench tonight, but that was always the plan with El Hmidi rested on Friday.
Bartolo on at HT. Scanlon opened the scoring.
Heartbreak for Gib.
Return fixture in September, that’ll be their chance.
Heartbreak for Wales too though, so it evens out!
England only 7-1 for the World cup next year, don’t all storm the bookies at the same time
3 reasons why supporting scotland is better than supporting england
a- expections are rock bottom and are always met
b- much cheaper as tournaments are only a week long
c- host nations are actually happy to see us

Nah, they frequently fail to meet extremely low expectations, also the crowd thing is overdone, drunks rolling round Germany shouting “No Scotland no party” over and over to themselves were quite annoying last year. Middle point is fair , used to say they’d be home before the postcards but not sure they’ll be qualifying for anything anytime soon.

You’re just jealous that we won the Kirin Cup.
Turns out Southgate was quite good

He had run out of steam, was already on the wane, being found out etc etc.
