Can't abide them. Even though most hardcore Rangers support England, there's always an element of anti-Irish bigots in the Tartan Army. They sing about sending Proud Edward homewards but still love their Royals and even pro-Independence lot planned to keep allegiance to King/Queen. No backbone to the Scots at all.

Some left foot on Dembele.

With Senegal 1 up and Iraq with a red, that's another not going the Scots way. Low road back to Loch Lomond. I know I said I can't abide them but it must be an absolutely misery watching every group play out to their disadvantage so far. There's a few coming up that should swing their way, but will it be enough.

Now need 4 of the last 5 groups to go their way. 3 could. Bagpipes not deflated yet.

Or not

A wise move to make 10 changes to their starting 11?
Win they play Sweden. Losing that definitely costs a manager his job. Lose and it's the Ivory Coast

That was news for the Norwegian defense. Dembele uniquely managed or was allowed to do a hatrick of three of the same.

It was like watching a replay of the same goals. Reminds me of the RTE skit when Dermot Morgan and Brush Shields played Giles and Dunphy for 3rd place game (think 1986 World Cup) and acted like they thought the replay was French lad scoring a similar goal to his last one. Dunphy was pissed that RTE made a mockery of the 3rd place game. I think he didn't show up for final.

This all sounds like  a dream  :o

The match between Algeria and Austria could be interesting. A draw would see both teams progress. Given that Austria did the dirt on Algeria in 1982 might they be prepared to make amends this time?
Careful now

Uruguay can feck off home anyway. That lad Cabobbio could have been sent off a few times over and then went for the ref at the end.
The nutty professor bit from Bielsa wore very thin and the players clearly disliked him. They were muck throughout.

But I am delighted for Pico Lopes who is getting so much I know he is a Rovers legend but he could cash in fro one season in Saudi and he'd be well set financially.
them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.

So Scotland only  need Austria to beat Algeria  2-0, and Ghana to beat Croatia 3-0

Imagine if that  actually happened  ;D
