Thanks, as ever, for all your answers and questions. Here is this week's column:

A bizarre and cruel elimination for Papua New Guinea at the Pacific Games. After drawing with Vanuatu they lose out to them on goal difference in their 3-team group because Tuvalu didn't arrive in time for their game giving them a 3-0 win by default opposed to Vanuatu's 6-0!

Today is the tenth anniversary of me opening up Football Manager 2013 and starting a new game with Dynamo Dresden.
I could never have imagined where that decision would take me over the following decade...
This is a screen shot of Harbour View v Molynes United in Jamaica's National Premier League. It's important to note that this photo contains *both teams*. I only saw some footage once the game had been stopped, but apparently they played 15 minutes like this... 1/4
While this was being resolved the TV pictures showed some earlier footage. My best guess is this is them trying out the alternative strip option to see if that worked any better. It did not. 3/4
I had a quick search this morning but couldn't find any more info on how this was resolved, though I note it ended 1-1. So a well matched set of teams in every sense. Any clarification on the details appreciated...
@paul_c_watson you might like this.
Ditto @Duncan_Gates.
4/4
I discovered something absolutely blistering with #chatGPT last night. It just makes up song lyrics and denies it straight to your face. It is as amusing as it is baffling.
This doesn't work with something well known, say Hey Jude. But go a bit more obscure and... gold. 1/3
Reader, those are not the lyrics to Air Guitar (listed in MANY sources online)
The full throttle lyrics and the bare faced lie amuse of course. But it's the eerily human desire to pretend it knows something it clearly doesn't, just to save face, that makes it.
Anyway, try it!

If you can find highlights of today's match between Pendikspor and Tuzlaspor in Turkey's 1 Lig, then I highly recommend you watch them. 14 minutes of injury time? Three separate 'last minute winners'? Blood? Sweat? Tears? It's all there.
