Unfinished business for Roy. From wiki on his first spell as Bristol City manager in the early 1980s "Bristol City was nothing short of a disaster in that we had only been there for a matter of weeks before the banks started to pull the rug from underneath the club. My job when I eventually took over, as caretaker manager, was quite simply to carry on in the aftermath of all the players leaving the club and just fulfilling the fixtures."

Bright. Energetic. Bounces off the physical defenders at this level, making him look lightweight. VA don't play him as a finisher. He's part of a front three. As you say, he's very young and still developing.

Given that Abi and Rento have been coming on as subs, it's really just El Hadary to replace. However, it has been the volume of attack VA have managed to field that have got them over the line. So, opportunities for Osman. Especially if the coaches have already worked with him.

After the first of which, we'd be saying "he really is better than Downs." 🙂 Besides, he should come on for Tiss, for old times sake.

Although they've had the odd chance, Wales' defence were hanging on a bit. James went off just after he had a good attack. Hopefully, they've still enough in the tank. But Bosnia look stronger.

Agree with Whelk. Visiting a Magic Cake Shop where you have the best cake ever is frankly taunting all the cake lovers on this thread. 🙂

I hadn't spotted pingpong already saying that Khelif intends to take the IOC test. That's the IOC confirming eligibility. I hadn't realised they'd conducted similar testing in the '80s. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/cdj7dgvlj0no

No harm in a reminder that our freedom of speech and liberalism champion is the first to say who shouldn't be allowed to vote, and insult all of their views.

Especially, as your destination is Missing In Action. 🙂

I'd seen a "I'd like to return to English football" from Poch the other day. I guess he could rejoin us, should Tonda move on. 🙂
