Trivial things you don't understand/mildly annoy you

[McGurk's Missus]

Well, Tuchel is carrying on with the England tradition of producing boring shite.

Fucking dreadful muck.

It's a ''Summer friendly'' Aud {I know it's a WCQ}, there's probably about as much motivation in the players as there is to ask a depressed bloke to get out of bed.

Game of two halves though, likely England will probably win a second half by two or three zip. Probably get decent odds at HT for that as well

I'm not trying to play the 'meh England ' card but beyond seeing a ' saka dropped thorough lack of fitness' sorry I genuinely didn't twigg we were playing today.

Why the bloody hell are we playing a friendly out of season

It's a WCQ Batcherino x

I noticed during what was a tedious first half, whoever the commentator is (is it Matterface?) Suggested that there is a great Northern Irish band called Fontaines D.C. I wasn't aware Dublin was now part of the UK.

Him and Dixon do my napper in.

Also if you can't stomach a drab England match there is:

Valerenga Women v Stabaek Women HT in the Norway Toppserien

Denmark Youth v Congo Youth in the Maurice Revello Tournament

or

Batman Women v Wizard of Oz Women in the NWSL {Gotham FC v Kansas City}



I may or may not have a quid treble of all three home sides to win

Dixon isn't too bad but when anyone gets paired with Matterface they become shitter. Still mad they dumped Clive Tyldesleh for Sam Shitface {childish, I know}. He was one of the last decent commentators.

The best commentators usually are ones who have covered radio comms at some point because they'll describe events on the pitch in detail, rather than wander off talking about last nights lasagne in the hotel.

As already said, it's actually a World Cup Qualifier this afternoon, we are playing a friendly on Tuesday against Senegal though. 

Unfortunately there are only so many dates Fifa allows, or enforces, for international fixtures, the current window runs from the 2nd to the 10th of this month.  Given we have to play this fixture and the players are all together it would seem a waste to not arrange a friendly during this window.  Next window is at the start of September.

Not many watching🤔

Perhaps he meant Kneecap... I'm sure that would have gone down well.

Fontaines is remarkable though, the DC bit is literally Dublin City.

Good to see that Lovejoy has found employment as Andorran Coach. I do hope he still has a keen eye for antiques

Huge fan of Andorra having a player called Ian Olivera though.

There’s no excuse for this heap of shite, though. Drab in the extreme.

Not a patch on France v Spain earlier in the week!

[jayohaitchenn]

It looked like a friendly but was actually a competitive game

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

There were two Swindon flags next to each other behind the goal. One was a genuine STFC flag but the other had a Liverpool badge on it. If you support Liverpool your flag should say Liverpool. No one gives a fuck where you live! It's quite widespread, you'll see a 'Norwich' flag but  they will actually be West Ham fans. Hate it...
