Malta-Scotland: live updates

Day -648. WorldCup2018

Part 1
How to "watch" a football match on social media. Not only can I not be in Malta to watch Malta-Scotland, I am also nowhere near a tv or computer. So all my updates will come from Twitter, Facebook and BBC online updates.
Match started with me driving. A quick stop just before kick off and another stop 10 minutes later. Terrible. Walked into a mall and Scotland just scored. Snodgrass. What a goal but did he mean it, says the BBC. I don't care. They scored. I used to sometimes have to turn away from a tv because I couldn't stand watching. Now I have the fear of the next update on twitter. Hope it's a good one.....

Part 2
Yessss!!!!! In the time I wrote that last post Malta equalised. This is going to be hard to "watch". Back to twitter.

Part 3
Now the wifi's not working. I didn't want it anyway. Oh this unreliable technology! Give me a radio any day. Wifi turned off. Back to updates.

Part 4
And I can breathe. Halftime All this switching between twitter, facebook and bbc is exhausting. Back to the car now, but a passenger now. Scottish fans on twitter say Scotland are terrible, embarrassing to be drawing against Malta. Pity there aren't Maltese tweeters. Want to hear the other side. I think it's amazing. Now I hope Malta can keep it at 1-1 and score a winner in the last minute.

Part 5
Deflated. Sitting in the car, not enjoying the view, and Scotland score. Just read tweet that Chris Martin doesn't deserve to be playing for Scotland. Then he scores. Typical. Between searching for updates, news of the goal came from my Scottish friend, huge Rangers fan but caring less about Scotland today than I am.

Part 6.
Losing all enthusiasm for this project. 1-3, Malta down to 10 players. Almost at destination, with stop for now much needed beers on the way.

Part 7
Bbc baffled by the penalty decision. "Was never a penalty". Even harder to take.

Part 8, maybe?
It's 4-1 now. This is terrible. Malta don't have many of these embarrassing results anymore. Against England maybe. But not Scotland. I guess I can say at least I wasn't there. All excitement I had 2 hours ago is now gone.

Part something....I don't care anymore.
1-5. Can we stop now, please? Car ride almost over. Malta coach's job almost over?

Part 10?
And I didn't end there. Another player sent off before the end, our English Malteser Luke Gambin. 5-1 and two players sent off. Right now I don't think it could be worse against England at Wembley in October.

Part 11.
Nightmare match ended. Silver lining if there could be one. Just enjoyed Toronto's move into the 21st century: finally being able to buy food and beer in one stop. Time to forget the 1-5.
