    Sadly true, even Scottish history is under assault by being Tartanised by the Nationalists, you'd think Culloden was all about "gallant highlanders" defending Scotland when in fact it was an attempt to keep Catholicism in control and many lowland Scots fought against the Highlanders and their shitebag prince who fled and hit the bottle after his  military  obliteration on the moor.

    Not to mention they all think braveheart happened as portrayed in the truly abysmal movie.

    He looks awkward as fuck.

    So does Sadiq.

    He's brave enough to take a stab at football and I respect him for that.

    I loved Channel 4’s coverage of the NFL.

    The NFL wouldn’t have been as popular over here, if it wasn’t for them showing the games and highlights in the 80s.

    This one has been all Seahawks, with Raiders dropping like flies.

    I think the Seahawks blew the spread apart and were playing well when the Raiders were incapable of raising their game.

    It's allowed in many places except the UK where we have 4 wee parochial states, in fact a Bahraini club just recently joined the Saudi league, not in itself earth-shattering news but illustrates it can be done.   FIFA and UEFA are about as corrupt as the sFA

    FIFA and UEFA are almost as corrupt as an African government, the sfa are just as inept as one.

    I know the Seahawks are over the hump post-LOB, but they should still have enough to take care of the Raiders.

    Even the Broncos beat the Raiders, ok, just beat the Raiders but I don't see the Seahawks having much trouble if any from the current Raiders offensive line-up. If you're watching the game on bbc it changes to the red button halfway through so they can show river city. 

    I wish the terrestrial tv option was back with channel 4 or 5 because the beeb is ruining it.

    Thought Canada was an independent country, not north America.

    North America is the geographical landmass which includes The USA and Canada.

    Another pointless exercise. 

    Pushing brand awareness is never a pointless exercise.

    It’s not really about finding new players - it’s brand awareness- finding a decent player would be a bonus but increasing brand awareness is what these initiatives are all about 

     

    Not often I agree with you BP9 but you've got it right here mate.

    Buzzing for this Sunday! Got my tickets for all 3 games through the post this week!

    Seahawks fan and genuinely excited to see them in the flesh. Hope they maul the Raiders.

    Fucking hate the shehawks and have for years, but It's the Raiders and this year they are even more rotten than usual, unfortunately so are my team, the Broncos. Some cunt please run Case Keenum down with a truck.

    Pat Mahomes looked decent last night. 

    Let's be honest if the AFC conference game Isn't between the Chiefs and the Patriots then something will be seriously wrong.
