'Bear Pit' reminds me of the night we sadly lost Jock Stein, when TV match commentator Brian Moore described the atmosphere at Ninian Park as being 'like a bear pit out there'.

I think that their fans would think so. A bit punky-poppy. I'm not a great fan of them, but I think that they're alright. See for yourself

I see that dear Pete has assumed the Crawley position:

I've had 4hrs sleep due to listening to the crigget, done 9hrs at work and am looking at Pete, not for the first time, with envy 🙂

Thanks Joe. I miss my cat dreadfully (called Dee Dee, not Dreadfully, obvs) and this has made me happy and sad at the same time.

Due to the way my mind works, and MES' famous aversion to it, I'm always wary of inadvertent plagiarism. Can't tell you the amount of times I write something I think is unique, only to look it up and find that someone somewhere has beaten me to it.
Original thought is seriously hard!

Excuse my assumption that all 'Merkins know who their football players are!
We've (Broncos fans) gotten very little out of our encounters with Mahomes in the last 15 match-ups (2-13), so please forgive me for enjoying our little day in the sun 🙂

One of the first times I ever had a conversation with you over (on the other channel) was about how often expectation massively overwhelmed talent when it came to Scottish football. Always made me laugh. Not quite as much as the look on Schmeichel's face 4 times tonight, though!

The 12.5% Scottish part of me encouraged the remainder to leap from my seat when the 3rd Scotland goal hit the back of the net.
