  1. 9 for Thursday. Apologies if this has already been posted, but presumably there’ll be no quiz tomorrow or Monday with it being the Easter weekend? Are we having a superleague or megaleague, or whatever the two weeker is called!?
  2. And a quick epilogue to add to my weekend out in the bars, going to the football, riding public transport, etc in Madrid... A request today from my work to not come in for week and avoid socialising due to the upsurge in coronavirus cases there. Ole. (I feel fine by the way.)
  3. Czech Republic are banning entry from citizens of 15 countries including the UK for 30 days. I was kind of expecting this anyway given everything going on, but that's a holiday up the spout for our family. Hopefully insurance will cover it at least.
  4. Rayo Vallecano v Elche in the Spanish Segunda Division. If you find yourself in Madrid and Vallecano are at home then I’d definitely recommend checking them out - it’s dead easy to get to from the city centre. I really enjoyed my visit today. Their ground is quite old school, and has probably seen better days, but the lack of polish appeals to me with these things. It all felt like an authentic football experience. The game was a good one too. Vallecano easily the better team in the first half And went in 1-0 after a penalty for handball, but Elche were like a different team after the break: fast, counter attacking football that Vallecano struggled to deal with, and crosses that caused havoc whenever they swung in. Finished 2-3 to Elche. Absolute howler from the Vallecano goalie for #2. Vallecano had (a bit harshly) a guy sent off for a trip at 1-1 (that’s the aftermath in the picture), and there were a couple of good ‘handbags’ instances - about half the players involved in one just before half time. And it’s lovely and sunny here. Around 20 degrees. Feels a long way from the Glasgow I left yesterday morning. A great way to spend a Sunday lunchtime.
