Illuminati-R-Us

It's not going well for the chiefs. I never imagined a QB as a rabbit, but the way he is functionally alone on the pitch against hordes of men in white certainly evokes the comparison.

2 min warning, unchanged score. Tom Brady doing the honours, Chiefs some 30 yards away at 4th and 6. Seems to be winding down, the yakking band is already turning up the volume.

Ah, they aren't even scrimmaging off anymore. Congratulations all round, final whistle.

I take it that was a good game?

Good night.

You lasted longer into a Superbowl than I have in decades.

Not much of a game. Good for Brady, I guess. He really didn't need another Super Bowl win, but, hey, if you're good, you're good.

Ross County are prevented from harming our tally this weekend. Match postponed - pitch is frozen. The Heroin Suppers will have to beat us another day.

Huzzah!

Does..... Does that count as a win?

At the moment, it's nine minutes into the second half, and England are leading Italy by 20-11.

So England are winning - but not by that much.

And no sooner did I type that, England score.

England 27 - 11 Italy, 29 minutes to go.

OK, 41-18. So it was a gimme after all.

Rangers 1 - 0 Kilmarkonians

Played 122, won 61, drawn 24, lost 37.

31 minutes in, and it's Scotland 17 Wales 3.

If that holds, Scotland could lead the tournament for the next 21 hours.

After that, it depends on what happens between France and Ireland.

Cunting bawbags.

Wales win.

No bolstering of the count, but Hertha won the first point, and aqay to a hungry young team, under our old/new coach.
VfB Stuttgart 1 - 1 Hertha BSC

Meanwhile, SpVgg got away goalless at the big former European Chapion Hamburger Sportverein. This is more than we could ask for, and it stabilizes the relations with my Hamburg in-laws.
Hamburger SV 0 - 0 SpVgg Greuther Fürth.

Greuther remain in fourth, three points behind the leading trio of Hamburg, Kiel and Bochum, all of whom have the same number of points and are only separated by goal difference. It's actually fun to follow the Second League at the moment.

Played 124, won 61, drawn 26, lost 37.

I was torn when I heard five Rangers players were in isolation after breaking protocols. Torn between "Throw the book at them" and "Please don't let it be anyone important". Five squad players only one of whom might have played tonight tomorrow. So fuck 'em.

20 minutes in and scoreless, we’re looking ok so far.

We went a goal up on 38 minutes and then gave away an equaliser right on half time.

Fucking fuck. They got and scored a penalty on 45 + 7. Softest penalty you’ll see in a long while.

And we get an evener, penalty, two all.

They get a third, our captain and defensive organiser is off injured and we’re all at sea at the back.

Three! Equaliser and ten minutes to go.

End to end stuff, one of them handled in their box. Penalty. Four three to us and them down to ten men.

All hail the mighty lucky shirt.
