Smart. Uncontentious.

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one to be delighted at only being 1-0 down at HT! Looked somewhat out of our depth initially, but had a much better 2nd half and competed well. I fear only scoring 1 v Haiti will be our downfall in terms of qualifying, but you never know.

Well it’s a much needed winning start for us, but that second half was brutal and Haiti did not deserve to lose.

Switched on ITV’s coverage for the Swi-Qat match this evening. The good news is that an ex-manager of ICT is one of the panel. The bad news is it’s Big Dunc.

I see they have brought in Wilson Isidor after finding out his ancestry made him eligible. He was Sunderland’s top scorer in 24/25 and is very fast.

Or Costa Rica. The public holiday for the day after the game could easily become a day of national mourning.

Dull and pretty uneventful. PSG deserved to edge it but created hardly anything and looked nothing special in this showpiece match.

No surprise at all that we are interested in him, but he has supposedly had a (disappointing) 2 year offer from Aberdeen and it’s not easy to see how our offer could be better. Hope we get him though, even past his best he is still a good player for this level.

Another huge penalty call tonight which hands Celtic the advantage. I think VAR and then the ref have made an assumption that the ball must have hit the defender’s hand, but the footage shows no real evidence of a clear and obvious error.

I’d expect that Naysmith will take the best to Ayr.

I’m sure some of you will know that a Scotland fan has been walking across the USA. I see that in a town in Indiana he met a guy with a huge ICT tattoo on his chest! Hopefully link to the video works. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1923414121710772/?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&fs=e&fs=e

Presumably someone somewhere has a similar stage proclaiming Stenhousemuir as winners?

I’m reminded of the time years ago when Brentford (the Bees) for promoted and their rivals got relegated, resulting in the brilliant chant “Bees up, Fulham down”, to the tune of Knees Up Mother Brown!

What an amazing 24 hours that was, starting with County getting relegated 20 minutes after their fans were chanting “we are staying up”.

First time we’ve won this league I think. We’ve now won 3 of the 4 leagues, so just one more needed to complete the set.
