Got a couple of lads playing on Eurosport now for Scotland in the U17 euro cup.

Zak Jules and Jake Sheppard, looked promising against Germany in the previous game. Looking forward to seeing more from them.

They aren't really playing the academy way in this game so it's difficult to judge performance.

Defensively Jules looks solid though, my video froze for the goals so no idea what happened there.

Games bypassing Sheppard a bit, but it's all long ball from Scotland

Nigel congratulating the U14's. Good stuff all round.

Just a shame that Teddy will inevitably be enlisting them all as builders for his new development when he takes charge.

1:0 last minute winner
Chelsea would of won due to their goal difference from the group stage. No penalties for some reason. They had a red card with 10 minutes to go.

Seems a bizarre one to go for a guy who was part of BM's backroom staff while he was at Reading considering they just sacked the guy. Admittedly he does seem to prefer a more technical, passing oriented style of play than McDermott but I'd wonder how the Leeds fans would receive his appointment.

Jeez, Dolan too? Must be a money-saving thing.

This is beginning to get VERY serious

Money saving for them surely? He will come for a small compensation and small wages.

We will try to keep him I'm sure!
