Pitch looks better than Killie's. Paid for by the Iceland FA, no doubt... as dozens of pitches are. Sort of the GAA Ireland argument, where county teams who win feck all have cryogenic chambers, indoor training centres & 20,000 stadiums, while clubs in a "village" that's a crossroads with a church, a pub and a phone box have covered stands and weight rooms... coz they don't spunk money on ovepaying greedy, useless players... but that's for another thread.

Yip, Mel, they did

Breidablik hit the post and the bar inside 2 seconds on a quick break... But I reckon Killie would see them off over two legs.

Stjarnan get one back. A couple of good saves, one shot kicked off the line, but the keeper beaten from close range.

Arni Vilhjalmsson managing to casually find the keeper's gloves with the net gaping. Albian Ajeti couldn't have found the palms more accurately.

3-0. The Solskjaer lookalike running straight down the middle, past some challenges that were somewhat less robust than the visitors' physio, to slot home.

HT: Stjarnan 0, Breidablik 2. Breidablik assistant coach doing an interview pitch side before jogging to the dressing room and then coming out to warm-up the subs. League sponsored by Pepsi Max. Very healthy. Don't want to add too many calories to all that whale blubber, well-aged fish and salted mutton. Maybe chip shops in Easterhouse & Govan should serve only Diet Irn Bru with battered Mars Bars. They have some very "Game of Thrones" music though. Far more stereotypical. That's what I like to see in football.

Breidablik physio on. Looks like Ruth Davidson in a blonde wig. If only it was the 1980s, fans could shout witticisms about that. Mind you, they probably still can in Dingwall.

Nice free-kick from a yard outside the box by Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer's doppelganger Hoskuldur Gunnlaugsson. 2-0. Wall could have been organised by the UK Border Patrol in Kent. It was that effective.

The one with his hair in a bun - Viktor Einarsson - just cut back outside after rounding up an overhit corner and curled a fair right-footer into the top corner. 1-0 Breidablik. I didn't see the 1st leg but they don't look bad. Could make the play-offs in the Championship. **Stream seems only 15 seconds behind**

Stjarnan v. Breidablik is on the Bet365 stream. Lovely evening. Dire hairstyles - almost like the early 80s... in Germany at that!

Aye... and I concede it's not as bipolar as "Miggs.Net", from which I've been launched as an alleged Hearts fan twice, about 10 years apart, after about 6 posts each time... but the 'Dee lads are being a mite melodramatic.

A dealer in Leith?

The state of this thread. I always found the 'Dee's most prominent supporter to be fairly cheery, if generally realistic, as well as being the most helpful of the A-list sports hacks. I can see the "Desert Island Discs" playlist from you lot: Tammy Wynette, Bonny Prince Billy, Lana Del Rey, The Smiths, Tupac, Etta James, Joy Division... with Leonard Cohen as #1 choice. Glesca tankings Since You Been Gone (Rainbow / Graham Bonnet aren't known for songs to slit your wrists to) ... Hibs have lost 6-1 at Mordor, the Sheep lost 5-0 there a month later. Hearts have lost 5-0 at both Mordor and Darkheid. Saintees got humped 7-0 at Darkheid but recovered to do OK the following season. Ross got pumped 6-0 at Darkheid, lost 5-0 to Celtic in Teuchterland last September, then beat Lenny's Legendary Legion twice. Sixth placed Livi lost 6-0 at Darkheid last spring. An erse-raping in Glesca is not the end of the world. You'll be one game from Hampden when you beat 'Well next week and the tune will change a wee bit... and not to Seasons in the Sun by Terry feckin' Jacks.

FT: Jablonec 2, Bohemians 2. Bohemians holding out quite comfortably for 30 minutes after HT. Plenty of VAR bullshit from then. Wee winger Pilar hit the deck in the box, ref played-on, ball cleared. A Bohemians player then went down injured & the VAR guy had a chance to look at the Pilar replay during the stoppage. How long do VAR officials have to review? Seemed to be ages before he chirped in the ref's ear. Ref looked at it. Pen. Pilar scored. Jablonec went 2-1 up. Made two timewasting subs in added time. Lengthy gap between a scramble in the Jablonec box and the VAR guy chirping in the ref's ear in the 93rd minute. Back for a Bohemians pen. No realistic chance of Jablonec winning by 2 in Glesca. No realistic chance of them hanging on to 0-0 for long on today's performances.

HT: Jablonec 0 Bohemians 1. Three changes from midweek - all on the right of defence/midfield. Conceded on 15 minutes. Been chasing the game... as you'd expect going 1-0 down at home early on. 62% possession but not creating a lot. Were around 9/10 with the bookies to win this. Bohemians were around 3/1. *EDIT* Attendance 2,693 - about the average at Jablonec, pre-Covid... which gives some idea of the chasm between Celtic and provincial Czech clubs.

Fair description. Only with much more oil, much more corruption, much less religious idiocy and much less tolerance of dissent.

Is Yogi summarising this game for anyone? Might be worth a listen.

....As "Racism" is only possible against those two groups.

Good shout. It could be the Greeks he's after. They invented gayness.

Ouch! That's unfortunate. I've not looked at what occurred at Fraserburgh v. Brora. 2-2 at the break. Fraserburgh banged in 4 after HT.

Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

It has seemingly been known for fivefold accas on five draws to be let down by one leg, in controversial circumstances....

I've gone with "Plan A"
