Think I’ve mentioned before the incredibly biased commentary of one Stephen Craigan when working on N.Ireland games.Classic Craigo tonight on the France v N.I. game.

“Why is it when an Irish player goes to ground the ref waves play on but if it’s a French player he automatically stops the game.That’s not a head injury he’s holding his leg!All…[Read more]

15th June. Scottish Bank Holiday for the World Cup? Humph. Wales never got one when they qualified for the World Cup last time round. Not too late to backdate it Keir. Oh, apparently it is, the elections have already happened.
