Was at that game and it was at the Emirates. It’s money making scheme for the African and South American teams. Much like the rest of modern football the fans do not come into it. Yes I am a massive hypocrite and will be at this game as well before anyone says anything.

Ivory Coast are “home” team in this case.

Firendly against Ivory Coast at Everton’s new stadium announced.

Finished 1-0 to Boca. They made hard work of it. Plenty of the ball but rarely worked the Deportivo keeper. Always sounds like great atmosphere at La Bombonera.

National League draw is on 12th February with the League B pots confirmed as follows: Pot 1: Scotland, Hungary, Poland, Israel Pot 2: Switzerland, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Austria, Ukraine Pot 3: Slovenia, Georgia, Republic of Ireland, Romania Pot 4: Sweden, North Macedonia, Northern Ireland, Kosovo Ties played in September, October and November next year.

0-0 at half time in Boca game. Some industrial tackles as usual.

Roma awarded a ridiculous penalty for handball when striker pushed the defender into ball. 1-1.

Saw up to half time and not sure how it was 0-0 at half time. Roma well on top. Just turned it back on and surprised to see Milan 1-0 up

Probably going to watch the Roma v Milan game followed by Boca v Deportivo Riestra from Argentina at half 9.

2-2 Another set piece

To be fair this is fan base who didn’t complain about cunts like Walter Kidd and Dave McPherson kicking folk up and down the field for 90 minutes and have regularly seen their team relegated so not as if they have particularly high standards.

Victims down to 10 after Trusty harshly sent off for an alleged last man challenge.

And probably to nobody’s surprise Tierney goes off injured.

Ah 1-2

Hearts equalise with yet another goal from a set piece.

0-1 at half time. Victims controlled first 15 minutes but since then Hunbos have worked their way back into the game and probably unlucky not to be level.

Victims 1-0 up after 6 minutes. Decent free kick from Nygren

Craig Gordon starts for Hunbos against Victims.

Saw him playing for Herriot Watt in East of Scotland league and while he looked decent would not have said I expected to see him scoring in premier league. Good luck to him.

Having watched videos with several different angles of the incident there is no weapon in the guys hand in any of them only a phone. There is one video where an officer does take something off the guy and walks away. The shots are clearly heard after that so even if this was a weapon he is unarmed and pinned to the ground when shot repeatedly. It is state sanctioned murder plain and simple. Same as Iran but just not on an industrial scale. Yet.

Club have issued statement saying player denies saying anything. https://www.afc.co.uk/2026/01/24/club-statement-livingston-match/

It was already going to be that anyway. Now it is probably going to involve lines of security “for your protection” and any sign of dissent or protest hammered. Really not regretting my decision to give this a miss.

I thought that initially but from article they are suggesting during that pushing shoving by a number of players so might not be Milne.

Completely forgot to post that Dons won this 4-1 to progress to semi final.
