I'm pleased to see Shelvey in the side, a very underrated player in my opinion. Is Sterling 'injured' tonight?

No, he's on the bench.

It's nice to see Withdean still in use.

I have a soft spot for San Marino since playing with them on Football Manager, but I can't see them winning this somehow.

I am expecting us to scrape a 1-0 win against the mighty San Marino

Do they share the same groundsman as Blackpool FC? Pretty shocking for international level football in late summer.

I just looked at the TV and my first thought was:-

'I wonder how many of this team have played at Withdean?, the experience could be handy now.'

Not soft at all. It was a CLEAR handball. Nice to see Hoops promoted to International football.

Gives a soft penalty but doesn't book the player for garroting Vardy!

Was the penalty given for handball or for the push on a player between penalty spot and 18 yd line, not sure which England player went over. It will be highlighted at half time so we shall see then.

It was given in sympathy for Milner who the ref has worked out is utter utter SHITE and he needed to give us a goal to compensate
