I didn’t think it would be possible for Trumpfantino to debase this great tournament anymore than they already have done but they sure did. To wake up to that great result from Belgium just proved to me that Karma exists and is alive and well!

That brought back a great memory thanks Mantis - my favourite Tartan Army chant of all time… “One team in Tallin, there’s only one team in Tallin…”

Such a shame and a sad ending for him after all he’s achieved climbing up the Nations League and getting us back to the World Cup and UEFAs. He did make us competitive again to a certain degree but after those displays I think he’s done the right and honourable thing by resigning. So a new chapter awaits, Whoever takes over has plenty of time to work with his chosen squad before the next tournament and hopefully can build on the base Steve Clarke created and move us forward to the next level.

It’s the feeling of Déjà vu from ‘74 that I hoped wouldnae happen - well 50% of it anyway. In ‘74 we came home losing out on goal difference because we failed to score enough goals - this time it was because we screwed ourselves by faffing about in our own penalty box and failed to learn from it. We came home with our heads held high in ‘74. The guys did us proud and the reception we gave them at Renfrew airport on their return was awesome. This time I’ve never felt so p’d off about our national team failing to reach the knockout stages - what a wasted opportunity!

I lost all interest in the World Cup on the night of the draw. Couldn’t stand to watch the disgusting, sycophantic display from Infantino awarding the FIFA World Peace prize to one of the most dangerous, warmongering and deranged people on the planet. The corruption in the football world is still alive and well and there for us all to see - it completely destroyed any enthusiasm I had for this great tournament. So sad to see it abused so badly in the USA. I wish our lads well but, sadly, I’ll not be watching any of it.

Ooh hopefully get to that one as I’m planning on visiting the folks in Brig o Don that week 🤞

Yup agree and, apologies for going off topic, help to cement our position when everyone at SPFL HQ finally sees sense and reorganises our league structure.

He could still do a decent job for us in the Championship…

Sames…

I feel we could have done without the distraction of this cup, pretty sure it hasn’t helped with the concentration needed to finish this season as champions. Silver lining is, I suppose, the 100k runners up prize money but I worry that the whole episode will dent confidence before the real cup final against Stenny.

Would be grand for the girls get a half decent crowd to cheer them on tonight. Great to have a game like this in Inverness and to get more if all goes well. Hope it’s a great night for the girls and everyone that turns up.

Today’s wish list: 1 Beat the Accies - job done ✔️ 2 Montrose to beat Stenny - ok I’ll take the draw ✔️ 3 Beat the English in the pointy ball game - gubbed ‘em ✔️ 4 Tranmere to end their losing streak - Boss kidda ✔️ 5 Canaries to reach 5th round - On The Ball City ✔️ Oh just a perfect day! Cheers Lou for the perfect song for today 😁

You’d make a great statistishun Mantis 😄

Never in doubt 😁

I’ve long been a supporter of three 16 team leagues playing each other twice instead of four times. In the grand scheme of things it wouldn’t make a massive difference to the total number of games played in a season but the reduction would be a step in the right direction and give scope for a mid-season break if there was an appetite for it.
