I take it all back, Philsorapter. All is forgiven.
Life truly imitating art - It looks like UEFA have finally adopted the Alan Partridge model of the draw.
If a train is travelling backwards at 97 mph in a south easterly direction, on a wet Tuesday in June, while the blind man eats cheese on the staircase, Wales will play Finland in Baku.
Unbelievably, the draw is still not complete, dependant upon how Romania get on.
I do sports fixtures advertising for a living so try keep ahead of it all and understand what is going on. That draw lost me but I think I know what's going on now. Basically we need more qualifiers played before we know who plays who. Simples peeps
Thankfully this crap won’t be repeated again. It seems like UEFA didn’t realise the permutations of combining the geo-political issues, the lateness of the play offs and the ridiculous hosting scenario. The draw was half done in the first place due to the above and depending on the result of the play offs it may have to be redone 2 months before the start of the tournament.
