FOOT AND BALL


Good night for England who won 5-1 against Croatia. They were superb and looked far superior to the visitors. Now that England have qualified for the WC the hype machine will be turned up to maximum. Get ready for the inevitable let down in South Africa.
N Ireland lost 2-0 to Slovakia. Their dreams of qualifying are all but over. Still they were a little bit unlucky. It was nice to see the crowd cheering the boys on even when Celtic player Niall Mc Ginn came on. Jackie Fullerton described the second goal as like having acid thrown to the face. His words. Now I love football but I am pretty sure acid attack survivors do not go around comparing their ordeals to conceding a second goal in a world cup qualifier.
Scotland and Wales both lost. Shortly afterwards some bears had a shit in the woods. So there you have it.
Tomorrow we go for lunch. I had a nice day walking about Belfast listening to my Aunt and Uncle reminisce about their childhoods. I seen the street where my Dad was born. It is now on the corner of a gay bar.

  6. Thanks Will, way to go for being supportive to my attempts at doing something like this. I dont think this blog is shite. I think its good. I think having somewhere special to be yourself and express your thoughts is a good, good thing. It is all new to me anyway. So there you have it our first real fight on twitter. Ironic.
