Have Denmark beaten Slovenia into 2nd place on Alphabetical difference?

Did they not learn anything from Peter Crouch v Everton?

Don't come home too soon lads. Oh dear.

Moon Pig are front and centre in the sponsors list. Starling Bank and Draper also feature along with Utilita.

Cannot imagine the pain you are going through, but the strength you have had to share is incredible. Difficult to know what to say aside from deepest condolences.

Correct, i'm in education, not logistics.

With Stripes on the back and the badge correctly scaled. Job. Done. Who are DP World?

My main takeaway here is the placing of a wing back as a defensive midfielder to reinforce us in the centre of the park, only for us to be repeatedly over-run there. Southgate didn't get it right tonight. We still got the win though, mainly due to individual excellence from Saka and Bellingham.

This feels like a draw.

Be realistic, he'll be managing Paris Saint Germain by that point.

Two blokes taken at far too young ages. Thoughts to Sarkic and Campbell's families. Remember Sarkic playing very well against us in February. Wish we had him that day rather then Baz.

How can you love someone who only loves himself?

Now, there's a debate. Who was better? The Rat or the Speed Merchant? I would bet the Rat would have loved to score a hat trick vs Croatia and a goal at the Euros v Sweden. I'm on team Theo as the better player.

I disagree. I like having the immediate view from someone with officialling experience. Particularly in terms of what they specifically look for rather then a potentially emotive view from a pundit. This aspect of how ITV are set up works for me.

Behave yourself.

Gundogan is lucky to still have his foot attached. Porteous had to make the tackle, but oh dear.

What were the club thinking with this? It's repulsive.

You have me worried for a minute.

For reasons that have already been done to death. Not impressed. He is not welcome. Strange timing to announce it with the Euros starting tonight, trying to bury bad news when attention is elsewhere?

The biggest issue firstly is wages. All teachers, regardless of subject are on the same payscale. This means that in terms of pure money, PE and Art (Not wishing to disparage, but clearly very different disciplines) are regarded as the same as Science. So, how are you going to entice those across with lower wages? The unions will never agree to subject specific payscales, but we have a situation where subjects like Art, Photography, PE have a surplus of applicants (because they will earn more in teaching) and the more traditionally academic subjects, especially science, have a shortage. Also, in Science, you are teaching three subjects. As there are less of you, you work to full capacity. This means that you are more vital in your existing role, less able to engage with activities that could strengthen your career development (E.g. desire to be a head of year...) so career progression will be difficult, especially if you are in a stable school that isn't constantly churning staff. Further to this, you would be walking into an atmosphere which needs personal resilience. You will be widely disrespected by students and heaven forbid you are in a school with weak leadership. The mix of academic ability, indifference over wages being less then you would get elsewhere and social worker mindset is very rare. The only reason I switched is because i've always liked working with children (Ex youth football coach) and I have an Engineering degree, after getting dissillusioned in my old life, and with a big fat bursary to keep up with mortgage payments while I trained, the switch made sense. I love my job, but it is absolutely not for everyone.

I say this as a teacher in the subject with the greatest skills shortage. (Science) No chance. You will not find enough people with the right qualifications willing to work in the profession. The wages and working conditions simply do not match their expectations.

Hopefully they have got the sponsor wrong.

Taking advice from the Skates 15 years ago.

Take off the sponsor and it would have been up there. But that single plastic panel ruined it.
