2-0!!
Get in!!
Laughing stock
120th in the world rankings in between super powers like Tajikistan & Guinea-Bissau.
OMG it's 3-0 !
Any country that believes the way forward is Alex McLeish deserves to be embarrassed
I would rather England qualified than Scotland, they remind me of the international version of Liverpool, so entitled.
Superb.
Great success!
Why no Pats?
I'd rather England qualify too. It's a summer tradition to sit down with a drink of your choice and revel in their misery as they cock it up again - and then the bonus of Lineker post match..Quote:

Plastic pitch , so due to a previous knee injury he was withdrawnQuote:

And they left McTominay (spelling ?) on the bench.
how the bloody hell is kazakhstan in Europe?
Of course they did. Surely you know that their best players play in the SPL (Sunday pub league)Quote:

Just switched on the radio and the first thing I heard was the BBC's Scottish football correspondent Roddy Forsyth in mid rant against the players who had decided to end their international career like Snodgrass, McArthur and Ritchie and those who ruled themselves out because of the plastic pitch like Fraser and Callum Paterson.
Darren Fletcher isn't happy with the last two either;-

I can't say for certain how I'd feel if Paterson played for someone else, but he has had two long term absences from the game due to ligament injuries and so I can understand City being concerned about him playing on an artificial pitch.
I don’t want Scotland to do poorly for Patos sake, but I do get the past hyperbole around them and why people dislike them.
That team could quite easily have been us if it wasn’t for bale and Rambo.
Good question. Last September I visited Moldova (including Transnistria), Ukraine and Belarus - which meant that I have visited every 'European country'. However, I haven't visited 'every country in Europe' as Kazakhstan's western sliver extends westwards over the Urals, which means that most cartographers consider that part to be in Europe. Needlesss to say, I'm working on it.....Quote:

Indeed. Israel v various Arab countries is not considered to be conducive to a pleasant evening out at the footy. Turkey is partly in Europe but predominantly in Asia, of course.Quote:

Juvenile, probably but since when was football about reason?
A couple of years ago I was working in Almaty for some oil companies and I was shown a map in/on which Kazakhstan as a country did not exist and all of the land (and mineral deposits therein ) were in fact Chinese and had always been part of China
According to the Chinese representatives
Can be easily missed when looking at a map.Quote:

Conclusion: China is in Europe. Well done everyone!
