Happy Birthday young lady X.

Happy Birthday Meadow (not very) old thing.

The BBC is so poor these days. Football coverage terrible, news reporting equally bad. Once Attenborough croaks I’m not sure there’s much left. Depressing decline, very sad times

What a shit birthday present. Leicester away on Boxing Day and Notts County on a Tuesday night. Oh well [Link] Not losing my hair, obviously.

I think Senegal will beat Iraq tomorrow, which would put them on 3pts GD -2 at worse

I think they'll need both Algeria and Paraguay to lose by more than 1 (or by 1 but with a few yellows/reds) as Belgium and Congo should both do enough.

You have to wonder what the back story is when a woman has a dump on the floor in Waitrose in Cheam Village

Equador were excellent, that’s how you win a game when you have to, brilliant.

They still have a smattering of hope Sparty. If Senegal v Iraq is a draw (or Iraq win by two or less) and Spain beat Uruguay that's two third place sides that would have worse records than Scotland.

As RK says,Ecuador result is bad news for Scotland

Been a cracking game and Ecuador have been really good. That's Scotland f****d if it stays like this

Don't worry Red Kite, you'll likely be correct at the next WC after Infantino expands the competition again. 😀

Female officials at WC but no male officials at Women's WC?

That female US ref is terrible saw her in an earlier game, game has gone too woke

It's next to E on the keyboard, thought you could work it out!

Group R?

Ecuador not making it easy for Germany…

Ecuador 1-1 v Germany already could be a good game

Paul Kalambayi( Remember him?)has joined Barrow

Group R is one of those groups where the 3rd place teams have only one point, so Scotland will be hoping that neither Ecuador or Curacao win against Gerand Ivory Coast

We were only talking to a Northampton supporter here yesterday about the Wycombe parking scammers. He'd said 'Jog on, mate. This is the public highway '. The bloke grinned and said 'Yeah. But don't tell anybody '.

Wasn't the Scots only goal scored by the oppo?

For the love of God, please no. The fixture computer yet again sends us forlornly to a grim dead end on an industrial estate in Wycombe, in the middle of winter, having to pay some illegal jobsworth to park on a public highway, and then to freeze one’s nuts off drinking something claiming to be Guinness in a beer tent before the game. It’s utterly soul destroying especially when defeat like last season is odds on, and then the traffic congestion trying to escape the dead end on the industrial estate. Never again we say…..and then we succumb and suffer the whole thing again, year after year.

RK the 3rd was straight through the middle 2 against 3 of us and they just stroked it in, to be fair, we were knackered by then but still not an excuse for the teams performance last night

The 1-0 against Morocco was probably their best performance. Lucky that Haiti didn't get a couple and two of Brazil's goals were shocking defensive errors. Maybe the third but with my CKD brain fog, I can't remember it!
