Woohoo St. Johnstone are back!

I expect to have a jolly good time, any football related joys are a bonus.

Unless he’s torn it, or something else goes wrong, I think in Tierney’s case it could be timed well - famous last words of course. Should recover from an adductor injury within six weeks.

This is making me even more eager for the summer to come around.

5pm kick off in Gibraltar, £30 for adults. ‘Neutral’ tickets available. https://tickets.gibraltarfa.com/

I think I got mine from here - https://www.retrofituk.org.uk/shop/p/scotland-bluepink-1990 - for Euro 2020, although I can’t find the email to confirm it. Both the Umbro logo and Scotland badge are itchy as f**k though.

7th June for the final Euros squad. Was announced 19th May the last time, with the deadline being 1st June.

Union Berlin 1-5 Bayern Munich Not so much random as I’ve had a membership for a couple of years but finally got the chance to see Union at home, and result aside, it didn’t disappoint. The best ground I’ve ever been to. Bayern were totally ordinary in the first half and were fortunate to be going in ahead, let alone leading by two. Second half was a different story as they began to flex their muscles and added another three in the space of 15 minutes. Found it quite interesting that nobody left until the full time whistle and some even stayed well beyond that!

Nürnburg 0-2 Paderborn Not a great night for the hosts, whose ultras were handing out leaflets before the game protesting against the manager (I think) and playing down the achievements of Bayer Leverkusen due to them not being 50+1. Can’t imagine they’re fond of VAR today either - a goal disallowed for offside and a penalty ruled out for encroachment. Some atmosphere nonetheless. German football is just better, and yes, I did do the typical British tourist thing and end up absolutely blootered.

What a fucking w****r

Wonder if McLeod remembers that 1990 game?

Cheers MacDonald and McLeod for ruining my nap.

Ah well

Barron having to go off would be a blow.

Big chance that

Union Berlin Women 10-0 FC Stern Women (Polytan Cup Semi) Despite going ahead after 10 minutes, the first 20 minutes or so looked like it would be a decent contest, but a seven minute hattrick from Sarah Abu Sabbah killed that notion. Two more goals followed before half time - guess who got one of them. Union added another couple quickly after the break and at 8-0 after an hour it became very much a passing exercise. Abu Sabbah added another couple in the last few minutes to take her tally for the evening to six. Free entry so really cannot complain.

To go from Perthshire amateurs to League 1 in 4 years is decent. I taught him everything he knows, of course.

Back to Galway soon enough

Not watching so can’t comment but I’m stunned that Costelloe has fucked it. Stunned.

10/1 for Dundee at 0-0 is a bit wild.

Not for the lack of trying but I haven’t watched a minute due to being on holiday, but I concur. He’s a p***k as well, though I accept Dundee fans would disagree with the last statement, and rightly so.

Kilkenny’s Irish Boozer the best bet for watching the Dundee game tonight? Expecting it to be difficult with there being Champions League on. Edit - Aye, no chance. Couldn’t even get a place to stand in there. Will make do with watching Bayern v Arsenal in Denkmal.

Yeah was about to mention him being suspended against County is a bit of a downer.

15 points easy.
