He slept from around the 25th minute through extra time. In retrospect I should have woken him up to end my suffering . It was one of those things where you have watched 30 minutes and then end up throwing good time after bad.

I support no team (other than Ireland and QPR who I have a sentimental attachment to from my time in London) so I suppose my priorities are elsewhere. I’ll know better the next time the youngster kicks up and I’ll turn on the QVC channel for the final.

Incidentally Trappatoni at his first Irish press conference came up with the quote – “a beautiful game gets headlines for 24 hours, a result stands forever” which I’m sure Walter Smith would appreciate.

For the last time Yen Sid I have no sour grapes about Rangers. I hope they don’t win but good luck to you and the Rangers fans. I notice the top scorer from Zenit (and the competition) is out.

Ok Wittmann, fair do's

Suppose the Trappatoni quote is very apt then.

Get the bairn in bed early next time then you can shout and swear and throw the tv out the window ..
