It's probably karma.
Every time there's an international break, I bump my gums about having to endure an international break.
A Euro 2020 play-off semi-final is not your average international break though. The Scotland men's team could, for the first time in 22 years, qualify for a major tournament. Finally, an international break we can all look forward to.
Only now it's postponed because of a global pandemic. Classic Scotland.
With no real action tonight, I've taken a look at how Scotland's inevitable Scotlanding would likely have unfolded.
17.45: Malky Mackay is sent off for directing abuse at the Israeli dugout. Kick off is still two hours away. Three days and two hours away.
18.00: For the first time in three weeks, 'Coronavirus' is knocked off the top of Twitter's trending chart. It's replaced by 'Billy Gilmour', 'Wee Gilmour' and 'Billy Gilmore'.
18.45: Billy Gilmour is named on the bench.
19.00: Fans at home tune in for Sky Sports' coverage of a massive night for Scottish football.
19.35: Sky Sports' coverage begins.
19.37: Kris Boyd says qualification for the Euros would allow Scotland to test themselves against 'the Ronaldos, the Sterlings, the Messis".
19.38: Steve Clarke channels William Wallace with stirring 'Look lads, the sooner we get this over with the sooner we can go home' team talk.
19.40: Lewis Capaldi serenades Hampden with a stirring rendition of 'Flower Of Scotland And All That Pish Wahey!'.
19.41: Lewis Capaldi becomes the latest Scottish football fan to have his cans confiscated before a match.
19.43: With handshakes banned, Ryan Jack injures himself trying to pull off an elbow bump.
19.44: Steven Naismith laughs in the face of a prostrate Jack, before remembering they're on the same team.
19.45: KICK OFF
19.57: After misplacing a pass, Champions League winner Andy Robertson is told "You're f***in' sh*** Robertson" by a 46-year-old who has spent 38 minutes with grease on his fingers from a pre-match burger.
19.58: Thankfully this is Hampden, so the fan is 17 miles away and can't be heard by Robertson.
20.01: GOAL! Scotland take the lead as Callum McGregor slots it home after being played in by John McGinn.
20.02: Dangerous levels of optimism begin to spread throughout the population.
20.32: HALF TIME
20.33: An advert in which some English LAD tells you to be a good LAD and bet on the next goalscorer.
20.34: "When the fun stops, stop".
20.35: An advert in which an older English LAD tells you to be a good lad and bet on the next goalscorer.
20.36: Kris Boyd looks into the wrong camera.
20.37: Kris Commons nods.
20.47: SECOND HALF KICKS OFF
20.52: Malky Mackay is escorted from the stand after directing abuse at the Israeli dugout. "You cannae say they things son. I don't care if we're playing a game of football against them" says a steward.
20.53: "There's a game on?" replies Mackay.
20.57: GOAL! Scotland double their advantage. Robertson picks out Ryan Christie for a tap-in. Scotland surely can't chuck this away now.
20.58: GOAL! Israel are back in it.
21.24: Steve Clarke brings on his final substitute. It isn't Billy Gilmour.
21.31: Israel posing little threat. Scotland just need to see the game out now. Stuart Armstrong has it.
21.32: GOAL! Israel equalise.
21.33: GOAL! Israel, obviously. Eran Zahavi takes advantage of some textbook social distancing among the Scotland defenders.
21.34: FULL TIME - Scotland continue to self-isolate from major tournaments.
21.36: Malky Mackay is chucked out of Clockwork in Mount Florida after singing a version of 'Hava Nagila' with amended lyrics.
21.38: Steve Clarke ends his address to the fans with "Bye bye Scotland".
21.43: Oli McBurnie vows "We'll turn this round in the second leg".
21.44: Eilidh Barbour explains how the Euro 2020 play-off works to Oli McBurnie.
