Can you explain why it's not analagous?

Agree. I cheered Scotland beating France at rugby as it pleased my Welsh mate as it meant his side won the six nations. What would happen to rugby if we had an all-British team??

I'd be uneasy with that. England would be happy as they would just start calling it England. But what about Wales and N.I. - would they want it?

Norway the other night wore t-shirts attacking Qatar's human rights record. I also remember being dismayed when Scotland played a friendly in the Chile football stadium where Pinochet murdered hundreds.

I think it's up to Eufa to do that, no?

Don't get why it would have been intentional. Could it not just be that they weren't up for it mentally after the emotional turmoil? You can be sure if our league title depended on this fixture our approach would have been much different.

"Stonewall" penalty! ??

I'll take the draw; it's understandable the players were a bit under par after an emotional couple of days.

Great piece 26th.

While the messages of support are all welcome I wonder what we would consider an appropriate punishment from Eufa: a fine for Slavia they will brush off as it will be recouped from their next Europa League tie. For me, at the very least, Kudelj must be given a one or two year ban.

Quite. Clear case for their own Hate Crime Bill to be implemented.

In 1972 we were banned for two years by Eufa for events beyond our control. Slavia have total responsibility for the conduct of their players and they must be urged to take action against Kudeli. BTW I'm not suggesting Slavia be banned and us advancing in the competition; we were fairly beaten.

Well, they did give us a lesson in how to press the ball.

Now that is good news.

As regards the game for the first time I'm questioning our tactics. Maybe we need to move away from our 4-3-3 now and then; Slavia outfoxed us with their game plan.

Do we know exactly what his fitness issue is? Last week SG said he could have played at a pinch so bit surprising that he is now a doubt.

You can take magnanimity too far you know. I rather like John Hughes saying that they should show class by giving us a guard of honour.

Actually I thought their small crowd gave them a huge lift, especially at the start.

He could play for any club in Europe, he really could. I sound a bit like Ally there?.

Said it before: De Gea, Allyson, Schmeichel - I wouldn't swap Greegs for any of them. He's good for another two years at least.

Yes. What's Donald Findlay up to these days?

What went through my mind was that the club could have opened Ibrox up and let folk in wearing masks, enjoy themselves with the players and then sent them home. Would not have stopped Corby and Belfast but we would have taken ownership of it.

BBC have already started with this speculation that Klopp will be sacked and Gerrard being touted as his replacement. I have no doubt he will eventually go to L'pool but it would be a disaster if he went before he's had a crack at the Champions League.
