I think the coldest I've been at the football was at McDiarmid Park (last game before we got demoted). It was May and I was freezing!

France v Poland...female commentator joined by Dion Dublin.

I feel uneasy with Rousseau so close behind me.

There have been some decent games in this WC bit it's all a bit tame. Not much rough and tumble going on. Sums up modern football in a lot of ways - all focus is on tactics and fitness, with little character or individuality on show.

I put my predictions up last night.

I really can't stand Granit Xhaka. Misbehaves even when winning. That goes for his funny wee looking pal, Shaqiri, too.

There's no doubt Beale will know exactly how Rangers have been performing since he left. What he says in press conferences and interviews, regarding players, isn't necessarily what he thinks. You'd have to be a bit naive not to realise that.

Netherlands 1 - 0 USA Argentina 3 - 0 Australia France 2 - 0 Poland JOKER England 1 - 0 Senegal Japan 1 - 1 Croatia Brazil 2 - 0 South Korea Morocco 0 - 2 Spain Portugal 1 - 0 Switzerland

MB has been appointed so, for me, it's very much a case of wait and see. Hopefully no one gets games based on what they did a year or two ago and hopefully no one gets dismissed out of hand. Clean slate time for the squad.

These foreigners are awfully emotional, aren't they. 🤣

Given our recent court history, I'm expecting us to end up paying some sort of fee for this.

I'd rather Beale brought in the best man for the job than worry about where he gets them from. He's obviously worked with Ade previously. Also, there's nothing to indicate he's a Scouser (not that it would matter if he was).

Call me old fashioned but a singing section should be in the Rangers end, the Copland Road stand*. I'd put them wherever they want, as long as they agree to ditch that ****ing drum. *AKA the library

I wonder if they have a football club, where they wave Welsh flags and sing Welsh songs and generally get on the nerves of the indigenous population. Looks like Argentina might be a force at this WC after all. I still think France will win it.

Lineker now talking about the Soviet Union and freedom of expression. How high is his sanctimonious horse!? Is it as high as his massive salary?

Tunisia and Australia both 1-0.

Ah, I get it now.

Winning the league cup (which we haven't managed in over a decade) would be a good marker for the new manager to set down. I like silverware.

I'm glad England beat Wales.

Is Yilmaz injured?

Nothing very interesting gets said in football interviews and I don't think Beale's was any different. Let's see what happens on the pitch.

I call for a points deduction for speaking about yourself in the third person. Who's with me?

Gersnet. 😀

A pal told me Alex Scott actually puts the 'street' accent on. No idea if that's true but it wouldn't surprise me.
