Other European Qualifiers

The pitch in Windsor park is in terrible nick. Great to see games played on pitches like that.

Theres also the little matter of us not having much hope of finishing ahead of the Greeks.

Very true. We were steeped with two proper minnows in our 5 team group last time and we still only came out with 9 points from 8 games. Given the draw last time, 13 or 14 points should have been attainable. I’d expect about 8 points from 8 games in this campaign under Steo.

Jocks 1-0 up on Spain.

Very average looking Spanish team on paper anyway.

How Robinson wasn’t send off is beyond me.

Was wondering why the Spain team looked so unfamiliar. They made 8 changes from the Norway game.

Spain are an awful whiny bunch.

I quite like Keith “Thrun Him Around” Treacy in co-commentary & I thought he was good doing pundit the other night too. At least I think it’s Treacy on Virgin Media anyway.

I don’t watch as much football as I used to but I’ve caught a fair bit of this international break. Pedro Porro is the latest one of many “I didn’t know you were that nationality” instances over the last few days for me.

Dykes missed a gilt edged chance to make it 2-0 in first half injury time.

He doesn’t have that finish in him

Ooofffttt. 2-0. McTominay again. Great play by Tierney.

Ten Hag has done some job with mctominay

Outstanding from John McGinn

Such a shame Tierney is wasting his time at Arsenal.

That rodri is absolutely useless

The Sweaty Socks winning is good for Ireland, yes?

Ranked above us and already guaranteed a spot through the Nations League.

Hate seeing those rotten Scotch cunts winning.

Porteous’ antics are very funny. Or Pistorius as Keith calls him. Scotland have had a great spell since scoring again. Have really unsettled Spain, hunting in packs, winning the ball back high up. You’d think Spain will start to turn the screw shortly & they’ll force Scotland to defend. They’ll also need to use their bench wisely, as they’re racing around like maniacs. I thought Scotland were shite on Saturday & the two late goals painted a false picture but they’ve been very good tonight.

De La Fuente should be on tomorrow’s paper under whatever the Spanish for turnip is
