@nessisonett @Keith_Zissou @Iver I reckon Bertie Bassett could do a way better job at this point.

Fantastic. Celtic out the Europa League after throwing away a 2-1 lead over Leverkusen with 8 minutes to go. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother watching 😂

@nessisonett And Rangers going through is another kick in the teeth for you!

@JohnnyShoulder True enough but after the awful conduct of Sparta Prague the first leg, even Celtic fans were hoping they got put in their place. You know it’s bad when Rangers are the lesser of two evils!

@nessisonett Oh christ, I forget about. Yeah Sparta Prague totally deserve to be out then.

Very interesting draw for the World Cup playoffs. Either Portugal or Italy won’t make it! Wales will have a tough time against Austria but I do think they’re in with a shout, similar to us with Ukraine. It would be nice to see a Scotland v Wales playoff final in Cardiff actually, at least one of us would make it!

Looks like more teams are reporting cases of covid amongst their staff and players. So expect fixtures to be shifted around in the coming weeks.

Me and the boy can't be at Selhurst tonight - so Come on you Palace !!!

1 nil

Blimey, that Spurs v Liverpool game was a bit tasty! Not sure I agree with some of the referee decisions (like the kane yellow card and the Robbo red card), or convinced Klopp got his starting XI right.

@nessisonett Sounds like they could’ve had loads more goals too.

Hatate seems a bit alright too!

@Thrillho If it wasn’t for Rangers’ goalie playing a blinder, it would have been about 5-0 as there were several other clear cut chances held off the line by him. Hatate really is a talent, he’s an absolute workhorse. I dread to think what his heatmap looked like, he ran the length of the pitch several times over!

As are Middlesbrough fan, just give me this one moment. @get2sammyb where are you at?

@AdamNovice There was a time when I would be mad, but I expect it from this team now.

Fair play, I hope you win it.

(It was a hand ball, though!)

@AdamNovice As a Derby County fan, I was hoping you lot would be thrashed. 😉

Can’t believe LeBron James plays for Middlesbrough!

@LiamCroft So like most Derby fans then, it's almost as if we were the ones who did something wrong jk

@nessisonett @get2sammyb Except LeBron means to handle it

@AdamNovice I’ve got family down in Middlesbrough so genuinely glad to see you do well. Especially at Man Utd’s expense of all teams 😂

@nessisonett Cheers mate, place has been buzzing

Rangers beating Dortmund may be a fantastic result for Scottish football as a whole but I can’t bring myself to share their excitement 😂
