Success in football often comes down to who doesn’t make mistakes at the back. For all France’s pace on the break, it was their sheer solidity at the back which saw them through the World Cup. England reached the semi-final, with little more than a mid-table select, but they made remarkably few mistakes, and just as importantly, understood the importance of set-pieces – don’t give them away and exploit them when you get them.
Viewed through the prism of an educational World Cup, Jozo Simunovic’s chest-high Alashkert was worthy of a red card on the basis of sheer stupidity. It was an intolerable mistake, a relic of a former era.
That Uefa doubled his suspension to two game is no surprise. Perhaps they have a stupidity threshold.

Both seeded GFTB
Embramike
Cheers, as I hit “post” radio Scotland mentioned the seedings
Just adds to me get many things incorrect :-)
From the beeb
Some believe this could be Kyle Lafferty’s last appearance in a Hearts shirt. If that is the case he really would love to sign off with a goal.
*have they not learned from being shafted with the grass or is he the deal maker.

Zombie flute bands playing in the torrential rain yesterday, I almost felt pity on them.
The usual Build My Gallows, however one band played that Johnny Preston track Running Bear, another band was playing Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Bizarre.
Sad.
HH. ?
::::::::::::
In the BBC Billy Connolly film from 1975 called ‘Just another Saturday’ the orange flute bands were playing the tune of ‘The Celtic Song’.
Hail Hail
Tontine Tim…
Re : J Spencer 100% correct about his family.

*Hail Hail is from the Pirates of Penzance, the huns used tae sing “hail hail the Popes in jail”, well back in my youth they did.

Or distrust SMSM and wait and see.
It’ll be interesting to see what levels of mibbery that Killie and Stevie Clarke will have to endure against the huns.
Tea time calls, Hail Hail.
NavanBhoy: I’m watching it. Great game.
Who is the cuter (not in a good looking competition :-)
Stevie Gee u-18 manager
Or
Stevie Clarke with years of experience managing top class footballers
Who knows ?
Almore,
Agreed. Great game and a great victory for LImerick.

HH
TC45
BP1 as in Lisbon – Green
GENE,.correct knew you would get it, how are you pal.
Thecelt45
When Lawrence won it with liverpool – gary spake (welsh) was in leeds goal
From the impartial BBC:
” Lafferty, 30, spent four years at Ibrox before leaving in 2012.”
Not a jot about why he `left`.
JJ
what have Ronnie simpson and alan shearer got in common.
ALMORE/NAVANBHOY
I watched the hurling a great game to watch !!
both played for newcastle – although Ronnie won something :))
I remember when we signed Paddy Turner from Morton in 63 – 1 turner and 10 apprentices is what we were taunted with – enjoy the present day success
GENE, cant beat you right again.
