[Chicog]

They're focusing on Euro 2020....

[smokie36]

Yup a piss poor result that. We will need to win the away game in midweek now.

[Intensified]

According to pat nevin ' it was apparent from the first minute , the ref didnt know what he was doing'

 

 

[smokie36]

An appalling result for us and Strachan's post match comments show he is living in lala land.

 

Gawd help us.

Happy to see Strachan sign on for another two years...at least we have a good manager and continuity...albeit the next Messi needs to be found lol!

The only respite for Scots is that England are not much better when it comes to achievement, how long now since 1966 ----  50 years is it.

It's all one word by the way, and no I am not an English teacher.

[smokie36]

Ordinarily we would be about 50/1 to beat England but they are almost as bad as us.

 

I might stick a fiver on the draw.

Not for long.

To be fair I'd be willing to play in this game myself....probably have a heart attack towards the end of the first half and then insist on reappearing at the start of the second half just to kick Wayne Rooney in the nuts.

 

In short if a Scottish player can't raise his game for this one at Wembley he should just hand in his nationality and go play for Plymouth.

Chip butty and a pint at half time and you'd be raring to go second half smokes

Perhaps look at "runners up"..."qualifying"...."Semi-finals"....etc for YOUR real picture and where Scotland came in any of those categories......Whilst you are at it, what year did Scotland win the World Cup, slipped my memory...?.............

And that famous Scottish delicacy, the fried Mars bar !  :)

[smokie36]

8/1 on Scotland....100/1 I'd have a quid.

[Chicog]

I see Strachan is maintaining the Scottish managerial tradition of showing despair...

Ahh, Ally MacLeod. That must have been one of the few occasions that he was at a loss for words.

 

The send-off for the 1978 WC was an absolute classic. From the open-top bus parade at Hampden Park to the crowds at Prestwick Airport. His wiki page has this gem:

Prestwick Airport was packed with supporters seeing the team off. When a journalist asked him "What do you plan to do after the World Cup?" MacLeod replied: "Retain it."

 

Of course it all came crashing down, but it was a wild ride at the time. Initially made all the sweeter by the failure of England to qualify for Argentina.

[Chicog]

Poor Scotland, first they get gubbed in the footy, then the convicts nicked the egg chasing off them with a late try and a man down.

 

[rott]

"egg chasing". I like that one.Permission to plagiarise?

 

Oh and Everton got a point at home.

[champers]

What is with the pink strip? I recall Everton once wearing pink for an away game at Blackburn. They got so much stick it was never seen again.

[smokie36]

A fantastic result to stay in contention for a play off spot!
