Good morning. Someone pi**ed in your corn flakes again?

It should never have been there for all sorts of reasons (both humanitarian and footballing), but it is there so we just have to choose to be morally outraged from our sofas but still watch it and accept there is little we can do, or make our own personal stand and not watch it.

Your main objection appears to be corruption in football rather than human rights abuses. So boycott it and spare us your daily rant. We know how you feel.

I accepted football is corrupt a long time ago. Locally and globally. I can't change that, that would take a mass fan walkout/TV turn off. I object to the world cup being there on humanitarian grounds. After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing I decided I would watch it for the football. I don't watch the qualifiers, I don't rush to see every Scotland game, but I do enjoy the world cup to see nations and players who would normally fly well under the radar. It doesn't really sit right with me, but equally turning my telly off will change f**k all. There are other ways to push a human rights and equality narrative!

The only thing that would have had any real effect on what is wrong with this world cup being where it is, would have been for associations and governments to pull their teams from the competition as soon as it was announced - and to implement a system of banning any players who attend like they did with cricketers going to South Africa in the apartheid years. If public, government and associations feelings are that strong this is the only answer. Money eh! Helps 'you' turn a blind eye!

I only logged on to say good morning to you BB, apologies for the monologue!

Back to the football - when are Wales going to score? I am banking on them and USA both winning their remaining two games.

[DondyDan]

Well that looks like England will be going through now. Boooooooooo. Stupid Wales

Still hope if USA win tonight and Wales beat England. Got to live in hope!

[donsdaft]

Well done Iran
Completely deserved

You seem like a good man DD. Thanks... Sorry just not dealing well with my anxieties lately and feel more depressed than normal. Sometimes wish I wasn't here

Hey BB - keep the chin up mate. Wishing you well.

[DondyDan]

Well the good news is we won't have to suffer Neymar for the next two games. Hopefully be able to enjoy the Brazillians without him demanding all the attention.

Richarlison will be the man for Brazil this World Cup, that goal last night was superb! Maybe Dodgy Dave can try and sign him in January.

It was some goal from him like. The pass to set him up wasn't too shabby either.

My thoughts BB: we should all try not to get too involved in the things in life that we can’t change. Eat well, get exercise and fresh air, if you can. Speak to your GP if things are bad and there are helplines out there too. Go easy on the booze too unless the Dandies win the league 😅. Enjoy the simple things in life as we can all attach too much importance to material possessions, at times. Do things that are productive and make you happy and try to avoid the rest. Don’t give up, as things can mostly be turned around.
