Notes
  • 1.^ Kickoff time in Western European Time/Western European Summer Time.
  • 2.^ Dundee F.C.'s goals first.
gollark: One in the cave, one by raffle, one by posting trades automatically and randomly picking offers, one via a secret link, one via breeding random dragons (they'd occasionally produce a new CB sinnerscale)...
gollark: They would each be given out in annoying ways.
gollark: Yes, the seven sinnerscales. Maybe seven colours?
gollark: (Shimmerscales recolored to Brimstones and with horns)
gollark: The most eeeevil dragons of all.
