Robbie Keane is apparently one of the favourites to replace McInnes at Hearts, after leaving Ferencvaros and failing the Celtic purity test.

Portugal drawing 1-1 with DR Congo there. On paper, Portugal should be contenders for the trophy, but unfortunately they've hindered themselves by employing an oaf for a manager and retaining the services of an aging, undroppable captain with an ego the size of an elephant.

I've set aside an episode of Coronation Street to watch instead. 👍

The referee blew the full time whistle before the allocated 5 minutes injury time was up Award the World Cup to Hearts

Sadly had to miss the trip stateside but am in the Algarve (Faro) for the next week. Any Scotland fans here planning to watch the game in any of the nearby districts, Albufeira/Villamoura?

McInnes now confirmed.

541 with Tierney in for shankland. We play a relatively low block and leave doak and Adams high up the pitch when we are soaking up pressure then hit them on the counter attack and hope to nick a goal.

Looking at booking Rally Bus from Miami Beach to Hard Rock approx £58 return The journey is saying 3 hrs 15 mins each way. Surely can't be that long even with pick ups? We'd be leaving from Fountaineblue on Collins avenue

An evening of ten German bombers and ENG-GUR-LUND chants ahead

No Scotland No Party

He never says anything good about Scotland - typical of that type of Unionism

I have fanzone ticket you could take

Clarke, to the best of my knowledge has never tried that and I doubt he's going to use the WC to experiment. I can see it though: Hickey tends to go inside anyway. I actually wouldn't mind that at all but, as I said above, I doubt he'll do that.

Rest Easy brother, we have the watch

Looking for 3 Brazil tickets if possible as heading out tomorrow

To the family of Donny Strathie, stay and watch the rest of the World Cup he’d want that. America hugs you and grieves with you. Your family is now our family. I hope this tribute from an American gives you comfort.

The problem is that McGinn and McTominay are as guilty as the rest in terms or not turning up or having moments and not much more. It was like that all through qualifying. Just look at the other night: BGD and Ferguson were the only players outside the defence who can be satisfied with their performance. McGinn did score but he had a relatively poor game.

Hello good people, 4 of us are making the long journey down to Miami from Boston and making a couple stops on the way. Hilton Head, SC being one of them. I was wondering if anyone was in the area and fancied meeting up and bringing some of that atmosphere down the south east coast! Alternatively, if anyone has any good bars to set up camp that they know of, it would be much appreciated. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸 Cheers

At the time, I remember my perception of it was that we had a pretty good chance of beating Morocco. It's only now I look back on that group and see that they were ranked thirteenth in the world, with Brazil at number one and Norway at seven. We were at 41!

Because firstly, she looks bloody ridiculous; standing outside a mosque with a superfluous, badly wrapped scarf on her heid (I don't believe there is any 'requirement' for women to cover their heads outside a mosque). Secondly, while standing there looking ridiculous, she is uttering bland, hollow platitudes in her hectoring, shrill voice (she can't help the way she speaks though, tbf), that serve no apparent useful purpose. It was performative, and surely impresses no one. You could go a bit deeper though and point to the irony of someone very openly in a same-sex marriage championing a religious faith that regards such things as 'strictly forbidden'. You could also point out the hypocrisy of someone who publicly pretended not to know how to define what a woman even is suddenly falling into line and following the norms set out for...women, when it is expedient to do so. But I just thought she looked and sounded bloody daft in that video clip.

I think we go into this game with more realistic expectations than 1998. My memory is hazy but I have a feeling we may have thought Morocco would be the easiest game, but we came off worst. Now, we're almost expecting it to be worst or worst equal game. I think maybe last time, when we went 1-0 down it was as if things were all going horribly wrong, and fighting for a draw was not going to be enough. This time, if we go behind at least we know the draw is worth fighting for.

Domestic abuse is a heinous crime that appals anyone with even a shred of decency - there's a reason men sent down for hurting women and children are kept apart from other prisoners in jail. But it's a crime that tends to take place behind closed doors. Often people looking in from the outside know nothing about it until it is too late. I don't know what it is that makes some people abuse their partner or what, if anything, can be done to stop it. On the other hand, the apparent rise in sexual assaults and violence attributed, rightly or wrongly, to the poorly controlled migration of young men raised in cultures that generally view females, or western females anyway, with less respect than they deserve, is a more tangible problem and at face value the solution far simpler.

I’d say so mate

Great, thanks. Sounds like uber is the way to go

I'd say this match is definitely bigger than 1998. We have a great chance on Friday IMO, better than many give us credit for. We aren't world beaters, we know that but we can beat Morocco and that must be the aim, despite what the "Negative Normans" on here think, Clarke will be aiming to win the game as will the players.
