The BBC Radio Scotland commentary team are sitting right behind the Scotland supporters in the San Marino ground.
So far they have had to publicly apologise for the 'colourful' language roughly every 5 minutes
edit: It's not every day your country wins 2-0 and still gets booed off the pitch... a tad harsh, but it has to be said that the team simply are not anywhere near good enough.

Montenegro 1-5 England. Montenegro actually took the lead here through a fine strike by Vesovic as England temporarily forgot how to defend. after that it was it was complete dominance from England with two goals from Barkley and other goals from Keane Kane and Sterling. Hudson-Odoi got an assist on his first England start.
Other results tonight include France 4-0 Iceland and Portugal 1-1 Serbia during which Ronaldo was forced off injured.

Unfortunately racist chanting marred the England game. Raheem Sterling, Callum Hudson Odoi and Danny Rose were all subject to monkey chants from sections of the home crowd, Sterling responded with a goal and an assist and for his celebration for his goal he stood in front of the abusers and pulled his ears out. Southgate said he heard it and that the FA will report it.

Well played to Turkey they sticked with their guns and won.
Disappointed by France, World class team and they give a performance like that I expected something better.

Scotland almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory last night, conceding a late goal to Cyprus and silencing (most of) the pub where I watched the game. Fortunately Scotland scored in the last minute to restore their lead, but it was a typically lacklustre display and, contrary to what the new Scotland manager said after the game, this result does not 'bode well for the future'...
I say 'most of' because my English pal thought it a good idea to cheer where Cyprus scored. Even by his standards, it was pretty churlish - and a few of the locals were seriously unimpressed. He is right, however, that there are plenty more Scottish people who celebrate much more loudly whenever anyone scores against England, so I suppose it is only fair that he dishes out the same treatment, but I'd still prefer it if he didn't do it in my company...

I was in the pub last night and they were showing the rugby (Scotland v Georgia), and everyone was happy and cheering as Scotland powered to a comfortable win.
But when the game finished, they immediately switched over to the Scotland v Russia football match only to see Scotland score an own goal and subsequently lose to Russia, all but killing any slim chance we still had of qualifying for a tournament that is to partly staged in our own country.

You're guaranteed a playoff spot thanks to the Nations League. That's about the only silver liningI was in the pub last night and they were showing the rugby (Scotland v Georgia), and everyone was happy and cheering as Scotland powered to a comfortable win.

Oh dear, the poor woman who is giving away the free tickets for tonight's game appears to be struggling to find any takers (other than me and my (Spanish) mate), as she just sent another email about them now

They're countries (well, territories)... so... yes?
Five years ago Kosovo didn't even exist as a football team. Last year it was ranked 178th in the world, below. Currently, Kosovo is 120th, 30 places below Luxembourg. At the weekend, Kosovo beat the Czech Republic 2-1.
Although it probably won't last, Luxembourg is third in its group, ahead of Serbia - the effective successor of Yugoslavia - after four games each (and Luxembourg has played group-topping Ukraine twice, losing 3-1 on aggregate; Serbia has played Ukraine once and lost 5-0). Kosovo is second behind England.
