Not The Town O'Clock News

Some days that job is going to be just ass-wiping bad, but Bengaluru was one of the least worst places I visited in India on business. It's only a 2-3 hour flight to Delhi, Mumbai or Kolkata (it can and does feel like 4) and the weather is generally hot and dry, just warm to hot or hot and wet. Your bodily internal combustion and exhaust system feels pretty much the same, only it can all be in one day, or several times each day sometimes. Like Geoff Boycott said - not the place I'd send my best friends or even enemies to, though Goa can be a tad more pleasant than the industrial parts.

I missed this one. Derek Stokes died on the 24th of May, aged 82.

Aaron Mooy took the corner that the bent stick chuckers from Darn Unda scored their winning goal from against the Emirates on Tuesday. That kept them in the interminable qualifiers that they found themselves stuck in. They next play Peru in their Final qualifier at the Al Rayyan Stadium, Qatar. on Monday.

Mooy, although still contracted to Shanghai Port is apparently training up in Scotland to keep himself fit. The Chinese League having been shut down due to Covid lockdowns.

I'm back from my International jaunt, It's safe to say you didn't miss anything football wise unlike us who left the Allianz Arena on 80 minutes and missed the Harry Kane equalizer Big Grin

Fantastic stadium by the way although not much of an atmosphere from the home support. It seems it's more families that follow Germany at home rather than Ultras

Munich, great city with plenty to see and do in and out of the City

Not bad. A full international cap before he's even made the first team squad at Town.

Making his full debuts tonight in Kosovo.

No Gonads for Kosovo. Whatever happened to him?

I watched Norn Ireland last night, Young Brodie set up the first NI Goal with a lovely dink to the far post and just before he was subbed towards the end of the second half he robbed a Kosovo player of the ball and put in a good ball into the box that NI should really have made the score 3-3 from.

Overall I think he did well when you consider he doesn't have any first team football under his belt and Kosovo are a half decent opponent, they can easily cause bigger teams as many problems as we saw against England not too long ago

What position did he play? Looked like right wing back, looking at the line up on tinterweb.

WakeyTerrier · 10-06-2022, 10:38

Not too sure to be honest, I think maybe right back/right wing back. Was noticeable that when NI had a set piece he was usually left back to cover whilst the bigger centre forwards went up
