Koeman saw the game as most, they got out of jail so no need for any gloom or doom for the Scottish support. Koeman joked: "Maybe in the end, but not before the end. Yes they were maybe a little bit tight in the last 10-15 minutes and we got more space, and we know we can create good chances and score. During one hour the Scottish team was the better team and created more chance to score. It was unbelievable they didn't score because they had some really good chances."

A wee site just at Forfar. It;s got a restaurant on site so we'll use that on the Saturday night, Not far, as I said, but this gives a chance to trial the whole experience before going further afield for the next trip. If it all goes wrong I can be home in under 30 mins.

Almost all set for next weekend. Filled up the water tank today and added some cleaning stuff. Drain it out tomorrow and flush out again then we're all go. The overhead bed, as much as I fancy it, could be dodgy during the night getting down, especially after a sherry or two so safer to make up the bed in the seating area.

The death toll, unsurprisingly when you see the footage, continues to rise. Last I read 115 innocents had lost their lives. Putin continues to be Putin and try's to deflect the blame onto Ukraine. Pity they didn't shoot him, do the world a favour.

Shortroads from the 1990's, as I remember it. Alas, like many parts of the town, unrecognisable now.

The stats confirm that there was nothing in the general play, wasted chances and a clinical Dutch side saw us take another beating. That's 4 defeats from the last 6, with 2 draws. The 4 defeats have all been against teams in the top 10 of the world rankings. Need a win on Tuesday against N Ireland to get us back on course and build up the confidence. After Tuesdays game there are only another 2 games before Germany, away to Gibraltar and at home to Finland. 3 wins from these games will put give the support more belief before Friday 14th June.

Never realised iSIS were still on the go never mind capable of this deep in the heart of Russia. The USA had made the Russians aware that an attack was imminent but Putin being Putin, an power crazy lunatic, ignored the warning. ISIS claims responsibility for attack at Moscow-area concert venue that left at least 60 dead https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/22/europe/crocus-moscow-shooting/index.html

4-0, WTF.

3-0, quite unsure how that's the scoreline but that's the difference between a top team and us. 84 mins.

McTominay with another great chance. 78 mins, 2-0

And there you have the difference. They score, we don't 2-0

McGinn joins the list although not as much of a sitter as the two above.

Christie and Shankland miss two great chances. Our overall play has been very good. Just lacking a wee but of class/composure at critical ti es. Still 1-0, 64 mins.

1-0, out of the blue, good strike, a bit too much time/space. Probably one of the things we lack, a player who can/will strike it from outside the box. 41 mins.

Very impressive opening 20 minutes. Great football, the odd slack pass at times but been the better side so far. Only a great save by the Dutch goalie stopped a Christie header hitting the back of the net. 0-0 22 mins.

Murray due on around 8:30 tonight but I'm afraid the football will win the battle to be on my TV.

Strong looking team for me.

Very sad, as it is for anyone who has this worrying illness. Fingers crossed she gets through this.

Ditto for Nick Cave.

That was exactly what I said to Mrs Faraway at the Marti Pellow gig. Both he and his support act were overly echoey at times.

A tribute to the classy Mr Harley will be on Radio Scotland on Saturday night at 10pm by Billy Sloan. Seemingly they became friends over the years and Sloan has promised to play a few rare versions to please the fans.

🤣🤣🤣

Would Gary Neville get away with this nowadays.................. Gary Neville on playing against Liverpool: "I used to love playing at Anfield, 90 minutes worth of insults about my appearance, mainly from blokes who looked like extras off Planet of the Apes. I remember one game, a little chubby lad shouted "Oi Gary, my Dad says you're a w*nker! " | turned round and said "Yeah? I've got 8 Premier League medals, what have you got besides diabetes? You fat little tw*t!" He was in floods of tears, that's what the rivalry is all about.

Just watched a short, 15 min, round up of Murrays win and it was good to see him moving well. He won umpteen points from just getting to drop shots. Really needs a win in this next match, not sure if he's won two on the bounce this year.
