Was he into sodomy?

Ally was okay. Suffered a terrible head injury before he joined us but did a steady enough job for the Don I thought

Elvis Costello and the Attractions - I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down

I worked in Motherwell for ten years and it used to piss supporters of the local team off no end to see bus loads of people heading to Glasgow every weekend to watch one of the Old Firm. We get it to a lesser extent with United and Liverpool fans in East Lancs, but it is in significantly greater numbers in Scotland. Completely unhealthy.

We almost always played a pre season game or two up there during Kenny's time as manager. I remember us playing the likes of Motherwell, Ayr United and also Celtic at Hampden Park. That last one was a few days before we played United at Wembley in the Charity Shield, therefore playing in both England and Scotland's national stadiums during the same week. We comfortably lost both games without scoring. This was August 1994. The rest, as they say, is history.

Dexy's Midnight Runners - Thankfully Not Living in Yorkshire It Doesn't Apply

Assuming you are arriving at Central station you exit at the rear of the station (Argyle Street exit) turn left and head for St Enoch's Underground station which is about 150 yards along Argyle Street. The underground will get you to Ibrox within just a few minutes, so you should be okay. Don't stop for a pint on the way though!!

Personally I'd rather avoid that - it only takes one dickhead and Rangers have plenty of those among their support. Anyone coming up on the train can nip into either Kitty O'Sheas on Waterloo Street or there's a Wetherspoons on the corner of Hope Street and Argyle Street called the Sir John Moore, both literally right next to the train station. The Wetherspoons has scaffolding around it at the moment but it is still open as usual. There are also a couple of pubs on Hope Street between those two. We will have my partner's kids with us so are likely to be in the Wetherspoons (Kittys is my 'local' and there will be no Rangers fans in there!)

I think Aus would rather play NZ than England tbh. NZ have zero momentum whereas England have plenty. I would rather play Australia than India to be honest, so i’ll be happy if the Saffers see this out for the win.

Looks like it could well be an England v Australia semi final. Bring it on!!!

Anybody not think it’s in the bag now? ?

I ‘kind of’ see where you’re coming from Vinjay, but as someone posted earlier it was a bit of a throwback to the less cynical football that many of us were brought up on. Hope you are well by the way.

It was tongue in cheek mate - though England are still very warm favourites with the bookies, who rarely get it wrong.

Aye it all went downhill after my post Still an outside chance of 350

As someone has posted, the blue in the shirts the players are wearing looks darker than this.

England's openers have got us off to another cracking start. Let's hope the total is 350+, which it really ought to have been in the last match.

I think we can all agree that the example you give is an exceptional one, and most of the added on time in the other games has been as a result of normal stoppages plus VAR. The USA defender who was penalised for the ‘penalty’ last night got booked for the ‘foul’. Given the nature of the decision and the state of the game at that point, I defy anyone to simply nod to the referee on receipt of that card, in the way that she did. If I were her captain or manager I would be giving her a pat on the back for that. Could you imagine a male professional footballer reacting to that decision in that way? That’s the sort of example that is more representative of the WWC, not the ridiculous Cameroonian behaviour.
