Scottish football hasn't been interesting for 30 odd years. Apart from Rangers ceasing to exist.

And every other city in the United Kingdom under our great realm.

I think the second tier has been quite interesting in the last few years. The top league is always boring.

I did enjoy the 2016 Cup Final though.

I take as much joy in Scotlands lack of tournament appearances.

It's a bit poor that New Jersey teams feel the need to deny where they are from. I don't like the Man City tribute act either, though.

I see West Ham have got to play their first three fixtures away from home and also switch their League Cup tie to away from home. Is it just me or is it pretty farcical? Here's a new stadium, for diddly squat money (yes I know they pay rent, but compare that to building a new stadium), but because it's an Athletics venue, and the powers that be cant turn it back into a football stadium quick enough, then they can't manage the fixture list properly.

Just makes my blood boil sometimes.

Rant over.

You could also argue that it maybe gives them some sort of advantage so early in the season.

I see Baker has scored for Bristol City. Isn't he meant to be suspended?

What's with this 3 minute drinks break 30 minutes into the European Super Cup final? A one off, surely?
We don't want this creeping into league football.

Aren't they playing in 35 degree heat?

Any league match played at that temperature has my blessing to keep the players hydrated.

It is just a one off due to the humidity in Macedonia
