Brilliant performance

Getting laughed at by a bunch of Italian pensioners, while having a hungover breakfast in a cafe somewhere near Genoa, the day after we lost to Costa Rica in Italia 90 is well up the embarrassment list for me

That would have been a red card on a rugby field, even the egg chasers realise blatent body checks are dangerous

Christie bullied off the ball there, disgraceful

This is rank

That's a pen

That was my first Queens game, or at least the first I have any proper recollection of. It set my up nicely for the next ~50 years

Wow. Been busy all day and was just about to buy the stream for tonight's game. Glad I looked on here first. I'll not be adding to Raith's bank balance.

If I understand Jason Leach correctly SG are more worried about the travel to/from the ground and associated pub going etc rather than the density of punters in the ground. How that generated a 500 person limit rather than any other low-ish number, is not clear to me though.

Why is it never simple

Scenes

The only saving grace is that the chances of us putting in two decent performances in a row seems vanishingly small, so at least we haven't used our "good" performance up yet before Austria. Whether we have one good game in us is a different matter I know.

And breathe

Hallelujah

Odds on the team had PCR tests tonight or early tomorrow, rushed through for early afternoon results before the team is announced. Just when you want everyone right on the money, they will all have "what if I'm positive as well" running through their heads. Clark will earn his corn tonight keeping everyone focussed.

Sneaking a look at my phone during a teams meeting resulted in me blurting out "oh for f***s sake" while unmuted. Not sure the boss was impressed...

Much less hassle than expected to get in & out. It felt to me that the on the ground stewarding had been organised by someone who was capable of interpreting the rules in a pragmatic manner

12:30-1 for the Czechs, but row c, I'll bring my periscope. Croatia in now as well. 18:30-19:00 row z, that's better

Don't bother waiting, it just lists your ticket and order numbers, but those were up last week, there isn't any useful new info that isn't in the Email

Got that as well......can relax now

Allocated both Czech and Croatia, but no Email confirmation...

Aye... by a group of lads who were so drunk they probably just about remembered we were playing a team beginning in A.

S1 for me. School had banned radios, but a junior teacher put it on in our class. All Ok until Scotland scored, huge cheer and Head of Dept comes flying into the class spitting nails. Good while it lasted mind.

LoL

Some goal
