Montenegro 3-1 Turkey is a hell of a result, to allow Wales to finish top and gain promotion to the top league. Montenegro had lost all five games before tonight.
Wales played with great spirit and no little skill in their 4-1 win over Iceland. Bellemy has got them motivated.
Wayne Rooney's Plymouth rescue a point in the 96th minute against Watford. Not sure they can keep up the pace of late home heroics:
v Sunderland: Winner in 93rd minute
v Blackburn: Winner in 97th minute
v Preston: Equalizer in 92nd minute
v Watford: Equalizer in 96th minute
With no injury time goals against they are +6 points after the 90th minute. So currently 17th but would be 23rd, one point above bottom QPR, without those late goals.
I wonder if Gaz is feeling a bit old today - one of his Shrewsbury players is the son of Stewart Castledine, who he was with at Wimbledon. (I know there's a Wycombe connection too!)
I'm watching the game on a naughty website and can confirm that Shrewsbury are running around like a team possessed and the manager is jumping around like jumping jack flash. He's doing the unbuttoned shirt, no jacket look which is pretty cool in this weather.
Some superb closing down from Castledine originally, then some signature sprint in to pressure the ref stuff from an admittedly woeful challenge from the Birmingham guy.

Wales v Iceland on S4C on BBC iPlayer now, in Welsh. Also on Sky channel 134.

Brilliant set of results for Wales 👍👍👍
Not so shabby for Northern Ireland too. ⚽️

If his dad at Wimbledon was anything like he was here Gaz might never have met him.
Can anyone find the Shrewsbury v Birmingham link?
Am on the Sky + through Now TV and there's a link for the other 2 12.30 kick offs in league 1 but not that game.
Coverage won't start for any until 12.20 but surprised there's not a link ready.
Can you access it via red button on one of the Sky football channels?
Read on a Birmingham forum it wasn't a sky pick it's just an oddly re-arranged kick off time. So not on.
Quite annoying, was looking forward to Gaz's first game.
Ah, how bizarre
And am way too tight to whack £10 on it especially!
Oh well, at least ours is watchable which is the main thing.

First 15 mins... Shrewsbury 23 % possession
Shrewsbury are my new second team. Get running through those brick walls you Shrews!
Possession can do one
AARON PIERRE!!!
None other than Aaron Pierre
Yes!! Pierre with the goal!
Some superb closing down from Castledine originally, then some signature sprint in to pressure the ref stuff from an admittedly woeful challenge from the Birmingham guy.
And nice set piece routine.
I wish I had curly hair too.
Shrewsbury two up now. 19% possession!
Fuck
Ainsworth is BACK
Flipping heck when that ends up in the net you cannot refute new manager bounce/ luck!!
Arse 2-1
Marquis hits the crossbar on 50
3-1!
Most bizarre goal.
Great run and hold up from Marquis, slight defection on the cross but the player lunging in arguably knocks it in by sheer accident
Gaz is Wycombe til he dies
The guys a genius.
Agents Gaz, Dobbo and Pierre doing the business
