In my football ignorance, I have always wondered why more players don't hang further back to take advantage of poor clearances or deep cutbacks. It's still being discussed on French tele, btw. Various angle replays. A Spanish player interviewed saying this is not football, not respecting the sport. (in English) Worracunt. ETA Rodri

Bovrillo...

Watching channel L'Equipe on French 'freeview' telly. All the highlights from ALL tonight's games plus punditry. ( not TOO much punditry) eta They LOVED the Scotland result.

They really don't like it up 'em when it's backed up with football. They reverted to the Latin sides of the 60s and 70s with their 'gamesmanship'. (cheating) f**k 'em. Well done Scotland, best telly watch game in decades for me. I'll now continue my decline into pishedness. Wish I was in Tennents right now.

Watching this alone on French telly. Shouting at that telly. But enjoying the excitement. Come one Scotland! Don't let these 'reverting to type' latins cause a red card.

Good save from le guardien.

Maybe 1-1. eta phew.

I'm sorry to see religion playing any part in Scottish political discussion. I'd like to see an end to religion having any power over people. Never going to happen, I know. It seems actually to be getting worse. The French tried it but have had religious nutters killing their citizens recently. Maybe we need an 'aetheists' vs 'rest of the world' all out war. I'd start it, but I'm going down the pub now.

Hmm. Think I'll watch Celebrity Lingo.

I couldn't find that on the BBC, but I did find it on several African sites. Strange.

There is constant talk of keeping us on summer time. I just wish they'd do it and be done. I know, darker mornings in winter, kids going to school, blah blah. Even on current winter time, it's dark in the morning.

Dinna fash yersel' = dont get angry/upset from French 'facher' The windae got panned, from the French 'en panne' meaning broken down (usually a vehicle, I guess it came back from WW1) At the toot, meaning immediately, from 'toute suite'. san ferry ann = that doesn't matter ( ça ne fait rien) My mother used these and more. And I take this opportunity to agree with your brexit view.

I don't trust people who don't drink alcohol.

I was cheering on England today, for the first time. ( I wanted France to top the table) They let me down. Typical. Perfidious Albion.

First and last for me.

A thermometer placed in sunlight gives a meaningless reading. Even a Scottish summer day would give a nonsense reading if the thermo was in full sun. It's the temperature in the shade that counts.

Typical Telegraph headline. BBC 'capitulated' by allowing Gary Lineker to return to Match of the Day Tory b*****ds.

Then they can blame everything on whoever is next.

Saturday's Match of the Day was reduced to 20 minutes with no presenter, pundits, or commentary Viewing figures for Saturday's show were up by half a million, to more than 2.5m

Wireless is bang up to date...

When younger I didn't find rugby interesting to watch and never wanted to play (too fkn brutal and my school only had red blaes pitches) but over the years they have tweaked the rules and I now find it enjoyable. (especially today) Whereas association football has tweaked the rules and made the game less enjoyable to watch.

Aye, but I think (on no basis whatsoever) that Lineker is such a goody-two-boots that they won't find anything. I think he's one of the good guys. ETA England goal-scoring c**t.
