Ally loves his Highway to Hell.. let's go to the studio for their cover

Big night started off-key off pitch and we couldn't get a tune on it

"TEN bloomin' minutes," roared Mrs G. "They only lasted 10 bloomin' minutes."

I know hen, it was a shocker.

Don't forget, two of those minutes were the wee cartoon intro bit.

They didn't even mention the line-up or anything and then it was straight on to England.

The Mrs was puzzled. "What you on about? I'm talking about that bowl of nachos you've demolished... didn't even last 10 minutes."

Busted. Not lasting 10 minutes was a recurring theme, that being how long it would have taken the Tartan Armchair Army to start shouting at the telly.

And that was from when the coverage began rather than kick-off.

There were plenty of "for crying out loud" moments last night but the first one landed when ITV host Mark Pougatch told us they'd be right back after the break with the latest from Gareth Southgate's camp.

The FIRST ad break. Come on lads, can you not give us just one night? It's the opening game.

But nah, no chance.

Just when we were getting warmed up with a bit of Scotland chat, a few sights of the scenes in Munich and a bit of build-up at the stadium, it was off we go to see how the Three Lions were getting on a full two days before they even play.

It's like they couldn't wait to get on to England.

Meanwhile the teamsheet was out for the biggest game Scotland have faced in a generation but we were none the wiser.

Talk about having the jam whipped out yer doughnut.

It was a total buzzkill for those of us stuck at home rather than getting wired in over in Germany.
