    No. I deleted their app off my phone months ago after they changed the layout. Its absolutely terrible.

    But, I want to know about Jota and Kent.

    I agree it's a fucking mess, like heroin I've got to see what the Jocks are up to now and again. 

  2. Thailand with a remarkable 1-1 away to South Korea. Keeping the hopes alive. With China drawing with Singapore 2-2 (who are dogshite). It opens up that second place.

    The game itself was a one way affair, as expected. However, with compact defence and some heroic goalkeeping Thailand kept in the game. Always looked dangerous on the break with pace on both flanks. They got one real good chance and scored.

    On to Tuesday, where they are hosts with the return of South Korea...

    Since the new manager took over (after the defeat from China on the first game) he has them playing ok football.

    Is soccer not an abbreviation of Association that they used way back in the 19th century to show it was different from rugby?

    The posh folk at Oxford Uni, called Rugger (rugby)  Soccer (Assoccer - football).  As they added er to many names for the banter.

    Posh folk still call it soccer and I remember politicians calling soccer right up to the 1990's.

    Famously Thatcher with Soccer Thugs, for the Hillborough disaster and BBC news giving you the soccer results at the end of the program.

    Think this mainly is an English thing.  However we have CSC & ASC

     

  4. I had 2 cars, a pickup truck and a Honda Jazz sport.

    I got made redundant, in 2019 and sold my pickup. Within 5 month the Honda blew up. So I was only with motorbike. It was ok for a few years.

    3 year ago, I went halves on a pickup with my brother in law.

    It sits at his house, he services it, halves again. Whenever I need I can use my keys.

    Alway have it at halve dial on the desial.  

    All good. No complains.  No need for both families to have a car each. We all own motorbikes.

  5. Speaking to my Aberdeen side of the family, they are still in the "too good a squad" camp.

    That may be the case, but, I'm not too sure about that.

    Your goalie is pishe, your fullbacks are meh. Your centre halves are a clown show.

    Midfield - only 1 player has a bit of dig. Shinnie, and he is slow and the game passes him by too often. The rest are ok, but overrated.

    Forward - Miovski is class, but on a dry spell. Duk looks like a 1 one season wonder.

    Apart from, all the best.

    I have no skin in the game, just a view of watching them about 12 times this season...

    Ach, you'll catch on eventually. 

    Now I think of it, when we were wee we often got a gift instead of an egg from close relatives such as grannies or aunts.  Not as expensive as a birthday or  Christmas present though.  

    We were lucky to get boiled egg and a felt tip pen to decorate it ourselves.
