Erhalten Sie innen dort!

As they would say in Liechtenstein. Well it’s German really but I don’t think they have enough inhabitants to create a Liechtensteinian language. Come to think of it, I think the main reason is that Liechtensteinian would be too hard to pronounce. But what’s this got to do with football?

Well due to constant disappointments with England, I was trying to think which nationality I’d like to have a link to. I think the boys in blue from Vaduz get my vote.

In one of the biggest matches in European football history they beat Luxembourg 3-0 the other night, only their third ever competitive win. Imagine the celebrations when you actually win a game, or even score probably.

I’d love to have some Liechtensteinian (I wish there was an easy abbreviation!) blood in me, I might have got a game for the national team myself! The fact that I read a book about them a few years ago must make me eligible surely? It worked for Tony Cascarino and Ireland anyway.

As you guessed I don’t really enjoy weeks of international football, it gives me less chance to talk about Macc. That service will resume at the weekend when we get thumped by Carlisle, don’t think I’ll be going myself and with our form at the moment I can’t see us doing anything special. Having said that last time I was so pessimistic we won at Forest so maybe lightning will strike twice.

Oh and for those non German speakers amongst you it means Get In There, if you were wondering…
