Good to see and hear fans there, not really bothered who wins tbh. 

Because you are torn between the maroon and the Rangersy blue 😉

Werner did well not to commit there or could easily have been a red. 

Took a sore one for his troubles.

 

Not a great 1st 45.

 

Great to see fans in.

Na mate , that sounds nice on paper doesnt work on the field , no way it would. Be respectful , dont slag it but **** singing it. 

 


Na the British one is one thing , English and Scottish are different. Pretty sure they didn’t play the British one before any game Iv been involved in. 

 


🤣

 

 

Likewise 🤣

For a game between two of the top clubs in supposedly one of the best leagues in the world it has been pretty poor. No shots on target ... reminds me of watching Hearts this season.

BBC trying hard to make the best of it!

Hoddle does great analysis as ever but the "commentator" is a pain in the arse.

Chelsea can play like this. Chelsea 0 is a common scoreline.

I guess it's the different between a tiny handful who are positive and a larger handful who are positive 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sorry to go on, but you don't really give a reason for this.

 

If I had managed to earn a great living as a top footballer in a foreign country and reach their national final, the least I could do is learn their anthem so that I could sing it before the game.  Firstly I think it's respectful, and secondly I'd be proud to do it.

 

Why is this wrong, I'm genuinely interested? (Sorry my phone won't let me delete your smiley in my quote).

 

 

Personal opinion , I only have interest in singing our national anthem no matter where Iv played or what games Iv been involved in at any level.

Maybe 🤣 Just seems a weird thing to do , If it is social distancing that is stopping a larger attendance then why let them be wherever they are. Is there any sort of passport or pre match test they had to do?

Sung it at my sister's wedding to an Englishman.  All the Scots did. All the English joined in the Scottish dancing. I thought we Scots were supposed to be tolerant outward looking internationalists not narrow and petty minded. Maybe we are a tad off topic!

Yeh I agree, just trying to get my head around their thinking.

 

Not sure if there was testing pre-match or not.

The boy on just now said most were tested pre and will be post match to see about transmission rates as an experiment. Also the same in terms of mask compliance (thats well out the window though by what we have seen) , loved they cut to a camera after with one person in a mask one it under his chin and the rest not bothering 🤣

Fair enough but you did say in any circumstances.

 

Anyway let's hope the second half offers some more distraction from the peripherals.

I cant think of any circumstance I would but your one above isnt one I had considered. Certainly in a sporting situation theres no chance.

 

Indeed 👍🏻

Just reminded me of Ted Lowe the snooker commentator

 

Lowe uttered the occasional on-air gaffe, one of his most famous quotes being, "and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green."

 

 

Remember it well

Was that the first shot on target? First goal attempt on target according to commentator. Even by Hearts standards this season that is not good.

Can't think of many decent FA cup finals

 

Spurs / City replay 1981

 

Brighton  v Man Utd 1983 first match maybe

Short corners - why? Every team is alive to them and so often they lead to the ball not even getting into the box...

Having watched Giroud at Arsenal quite a lot it says something that the prospect of him coming on is welcome. Not that I want a Chelsea win. Just to relieve the tedium.
