Yeah Wales and ROI seem more open to it and it must help short term to boost their development. If the club manager sees them cutting it at international level then surely they move up the pecking order or puts pressure on to develop them. The last two games haven't meant anything so why not chuck him on? If he does orate it boosts his chance of a decent loan too potentially on the continent. Instead we've found out McLean's not brilliant out wide and Doak stands out at u21 which we knew both of already.

Be interesting see how his career progresses as he's only had 4 first team games at 20 according to Wiki. Looks like he needs a decent loan or move or could fade into obscurity. It was a bit like when De Bruyne ripped us v Belgium but not sure Bobb is that level - wouldn't be surprised if he had a nomadic career out of what could have been. If he was Scottish doubt we'd cap him yet whereas Norway playing him helps his development

It meant the square route of fuck all essentially tonight but if it wasn't for that final minutes in Oslo this and Thursday could have been calamitous. Injury played a massive part but goal keeper and upfront are more obvious an issue than even just a week ago. Brown isn't international class and doesn't score goals - that Dykes came on and actually did worse is troubling. I like 4 at the back but that isn't the defence to try it with. That Patterson looked arguably the best defensively is again troubling. I'd have gone 5-3-2 to see if Shankland off Dykes is an option. It would also be handy to have a wild card raw as fuck like Doak throw on for a bit of excitement (like Bobb) whereas we trialed a 31 year old on the wing who couldn't get near Bobb to help out and we seemed to have no idea how to do it all game - he's playing reserve football and shouldn't be ripping international players a new arsehole. Ultimately no damage done and fantastic achievement. Questions can rightly be asked of the manager though on tactics and selection this week outside of the injuries. I'd also say if we're whoring out caps to England C players we need to focus away from wingers.

Essentially it's a glorified friendly but this performance poses a lot of questions.

All came from Brown's dummy in fairness 😉

With the ball we look orate but with out it we're absolutely terrifying!! I loved Brown at Stoke as rums all day but massively out of his depth here. Them giving a player like Bob a go is something we're too shy of - Doak should be on the bench at least.

Don't fuck it up this time!

Car crash stuff without the ball. Bob's causing mayhem but Rita and Sue would probably cause us issues too.

Draw there is a decent result given players missing- could have won it if tighter at the back

Yyyyyyyyaaaaaasssssss! Round yeeee!

Frustrating- these are fucking horrible

Can't decide if his hand, shoulder or cock is hurt

Honking defending

8 selected and a big fat zero

From memory I applied for 8 games x 3 tickets and went for a mix of £150, £60 and £30. Fully expecting to end up with tickets for Albania v Switzerland for c.£500 if any at all 🤣

This and the Indyref thread will still be going in 2099.

'Al-QAEDA' in English with a fuck off huge font and all!

I've applied for 7 sets of tickets including the wee one (9) and see what get. Going drive I think and get ferry at Hull. All West and South so probably stay Bonn for a week and then Munich for a few days if that ticket comes in. Sods law means Scotland will be in Berlin though. Seems loads of theme parks, museums, water parks etc for the kids so should be loads for them busy too.

There's a tinge of envy in it for me as I wish we had an element of their self belief. However bugs the shit out of me how arrogant they are - you'd think they were a footballing powerhouse the way they talk about qualification rather than it just being their turn to have had a few decent players. In the rugby before Argentina they were dark horses to win the thing but after getting knocked out they were 'plucky' Wales just getting there past Fiji and a terrible Australian side.

Schnell!

Give them another 10 minutes and they'll find another reason to chalk it off.

Wouldn't be surprised if Luis Rubiales grabbed his cock and kissed the ref!

If he is actually offside fair play to the lad as his erection must be sizeable 😆 The ref can't be overruled by VAR for a foul then VAR overruled for an offside surely- it's beyond farcical as nae chance it happens the other way.

Get the Etcha Sketch line out - what a load of absolute bollocks https://x.com/M4rtyman/status/1712575999655784874?s=20
