Road to Nowhere 2018

Happy to check twitter for more reaction from famous Scottish personalities from the 1990s if you have any requests.

Apparently this lass is the Minister for Sport in the devolved Scottish Parliament:

Irish Football Association founded in 1880 and Ireland playing international continuously since 1882.

Football Association of Ireland founded in 1921 and their Eire side only playing international football since 1924.

Iā€™m well aware when both associations were founded.
FIFA, the governing body of world soccer requires that the team whoā€™s governing body is based in belfast be referred to as NORTHERN Ireland, and have so since the 1950s

Is she the one that got serious abuse in the past for supporting Celtic? I seem to remember a Celtic supporting prominent SNP woman getting heat a few years ago

@GeoffreyBoycott really showing off his lack of knowledge of the governance of the game here. Heā€™s having a shocker.

Back home at the weekend and I had to bring Mama to the nearest Asda which is in a fairly staucnh unionist part of the country.

You kind of forget about how sinister these fuckers are when youā€™re away but a small time in their presence or driving through their strongholds imminently return that feeling.

I hope the Oranjies get battered.

Thereā€™s governance in FIFA? You mustnā€™t have paid too much attention to the US Federal Prosecution case and the FBI and IRS indictments.

shocking attempt at deflection from geoff
fuck sakes, even the prods in the north refer to their team as northern ireland

Mr Blatter was the gold standard for corporate governance .

Looks like the most in-form player in European club football at the minute is getting dropped to accommodate Messi for their do or die clash mid week

Messiā€™s getting dropped? Ballsy move

No, Dybala.

As Messi continues to be ineffective for Argentina, other players are being benched because managers are afraid Messi might get them sacked if they donā€™t pick him and try and continue to build the team around him.

People can be very slack in using correct terminology. The IFA were founded in 1880 and their national team Ireland are fielding international sides since 1882. Some purported edict issued by that bastion of corporate governance FIFA (founded 1904) in the 1950ā€™s is of no consequence.

You canā€™t get dropped from a team you werenā€™t playing in mate.

If Messiā€™s ā€œunderperformingā€ apparently by putting 5 chances on a plate for teammates Iā€™d love to know what Dybala was doing in the games before he got dropped last week

Harry Kane is English. Its his manager thatā€™s from Argentina. Heā€™s a long time retired from international football though. Effectively sent into international retirement by bringing down Michael Owen for the penalty that eliminated Argentina from the 2002 World Cup.

Mohamed Salahā€™s 95th minute penalty has sent Egypt to their first World Cup since 1990.
