😄 True, and I only went outside from the couch to the bin last night. Ordeals like yesterday certainly justify awarding SSC points for home games.

And in their team, eg. the matchwinner.

I had a bad feeling when this game was announced. Horrible opponent to play, always a horrible atmosphere and probably horrible weather. Turns out the last part wasn't as bad, but still I'm not too bothered I decided to save the 30 quid.

Ach the craic will be good in Germany

Best team won, played out their skins.

Ahem... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68648714 Now I'm hoping we don't set up a team for damage limitation, but playing Germany in Munich in the opening game of their own tournament is going to be one of the toughest challenges our players will face in their careers.

Doubt you'll find many takers for that swap on here!

Yes. Home team in the semi finals is decided on performance (Nations League for the Euros / best group runners up in the World Cup qualifiers). For the play off finals it's luck of the draw. Appreciate the fixture congestion but I think the finals should either be two legged or played at a neutral venue. The Welsh have been jammy buggers twice and I think they'll get through to Germany.

If all the yellow parts were white it would look fine.

A lot of criticism being rightfully directed at the defending late in the game, but the space left at the back for the opener was criminal. Can't switch off like that the Euros or we'll be home before the postcards yet again.

And Harry Maguire is our joint top scorer.

This didn't age well.

On tonight's showing we need all the shooting practice possible.

Getting 2003 flashbacks here 🫣

A major shortcoming at this level unfortunately.

The first Dutch shot 🫤 If it means we're using up our bad luck for the year now, I'll take it 👍

Jeez didn't realise that was a potential clash. Would be wild! I'm just arriving in Dusseldorf that night, I imagine the atmosphere will be spilling over there 😱

TBF it will be much harder to paint on a beer belly.

Well neither Bale nor Ramsay and they're nearly in Germany...

Thought you were talking about the £125 price tag, then I saw this... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/03/21/england-multi-colour-st-georges-cross-kit-woke-nonsense/

I like both forums but they are a very different experience. Posting on the TAMB is like going out for a pint with a couple of mates, whereas posting on Pie and Bovril is like taking the karaoke mic at the end of a stag night.

I can remember when Iain Gray was bookies favourite to be the next First Minister. Long way to go til the next election.

I'd second this. My brother took the test (saved me a job 😁) and while the results were pretty much as expected (68% Scottish Highlands, 27% Irish with a little bit of English and Scandinavian mixed in (our mum's grandpas were from Killarney in Ireland and Cornwall)), the links they gave to people you may be related to that have also done the test were surprising. A couple of close relatives were mentioned to corroborate the findings, but also distant cousins I'd never heard of, with common names to the family that the people compiling the test would never have known.

I heard the start of Kaye Adams programme this morning, the first listener comment "This is Humza's final solution to the Tory problem" 😱
