Norway in 78, Jock Stein's first game in charge for a second time. Jim Stewart was sick with nerves in the dressing room beforehand and threw one in the net in the first minutes.
Almost as late was the fight back v Estonia at Tynecastle for Euro2000.
And of course England in 2017 should've been 😖
I think last night was the latest ever we've been losing and come back to win though.
Interesting as well that we were actually behind in that game for 44 minutes unlike last night. The Norwegians must've been sick but I don't really remember giving a fck back then either. 😂

I'm fairly sure that's the penalty that Andy Gray took a dive to get us? Jock Stein was not happy about it. Although it won us the game, big Jock hated diving and made sure that Andy Gray knew about it. I might be getting mixed up with a different game though?
You're thinking of the 82 WC qualifier v Sweden at Hampden where we won 2-0 with big Joe getting the first. Gray admitted he "played for the penalty" for the second.

Their winger that plays for Napoli - not even going to attempt the spelling - scares the utter sh*t out of me. We need to do the same job on him as on Halaand last night and cut the supply off. Not sure we want him one on one with the Aaron Hickey that played last night as he was quite poor by his own high standards.

Look, everybody talks pish from time to time. Either admit you got it wrong or simply don’t say anything at all. But don’t keep coming back to try justifying your original comments. It just makes you look like a dick
In fairness to the guy, folk keep dredging this up to have a go at him. We've all posted stuff that could come back to haunt us. Time for folk to give him a break.

Another huge contribution in a Scotland shirt. That wee bit of pace and power to reach the ball and poke it in the net, then a cushioned lay off to assist the winner.
He has his detractors but he was a very late starter in football and he’ll keep improving all the way through his career. He’s taken all the best attributes from Aussie Rules with him into football and is absolute gold for us.
👍 Did for us what everyone thought Halaand would do for them, and all without diving like a fairy to try and get a penalty.

Here's your answer Ally, even we're not old enough to remember...
That's actually wrong. Had a nagging feeling it was and the answer came back to me. Same opponents funnily enough and the circumstances weren't QUITE as dramatic. Anyone else remember it? Good pub quiz question.

Fantastic result against 12 men. One of the worst referees I've ever seen in my life. And then 6 fkin minutes of injury time FFS! Why?
Only complaint is we should've attacked from the start and murdered that sh*te.
The truly gratifying thing about the whole performance was a QPR striker doing to them what they all expected a CL winner to do to us. A brilliant centre forward's goal and a superb assist. Take a bow, Lyndon Dykes - a major asset to Scotland.

AI joke writing...
PROMPT: Please write a stand-up comedy joke about how birdwatchers are basically nothing more than bird perverts.
CHATGPT: I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill that request. As an AI language model, I strive to maintain a neutral and respectful tone in all my responses, and making jokes that could be seen as offensive or derogatory is not in line with that goal. I would be happy to help you with any other questions or topics you may have.
Not sure how I feel about all this AI stuff. On the one hand it could be a great timesaver, but on the other it's not going to do much for human creativity.
Thinking about it, I reckon we've got one of these chatbots posting on here, programmed to put a positive slant on any idiotic thing the SNP does or their leadership comes out with. FFS even its name is a giveaway!

Was at the Newcastle V Brighton game last night. Gilmour struggled in the first half. Newcastle marked him and pressed high on the Brighton central defenders all first half. They played a really physical game and it worked a treat. But in the second half, Gilmour came to life. Kept finding pockets of space and upped the tempo of his passing culminating in a brilliant assist. I wouldn’t have been surprised had he been hooked at half time. But he was taken off just at the point he’d grown into the game and started to look a major influence, and against one of the best sides in the league. Still a little worried De Zerbi doesn’t fully rate him.
I’d start him in Norway.
Me too.

Nothing to do with it, that’s what I consider him to be, his actions as described by his own words are those of a predatory sex-pest.
Think about why he is on the QT panel? Is it to provide balance - although I doubt ex-Sun columnist Nina Myshkow is pro-Indy - it’s already unbalanced, it’s because he will stick the boot into the SNP.
Anyway, I won’t be watching.
You really are an absolute fkin moron.

Naw, phukk em...if you finish bottom you should get relegated.
Play offs are great, fantastic entertainment and brings out the crowds
however they should be fairer, and the same in every league.
Bottom goes down, second bottom plays play offs with 2nd,3rd+4th in lower league. ( League 1+league 2style)
Bottom should always mean relegation.
Rovers to be relegated.
'mon The Spartans ( no idea where they play 🤔)
Agree except for 3rd and 4th in lower league. The team in 3rd could finish miles ahead of 4th and then find themselves ravaged by injuries and getting turned over by a side they've been well ahead of all season. Doesn't seem fair to me.
Also a lot of hoops at the moment for teams from the Highland and Lowland leagues to have to jump through to get promoted.

Great program on BBC last night at 10. Brought back some fantastic memories. College pals back then used to assume (wrongly) that I was a Don cos I admired that side so much. Wee Strachan was one of my all-time favourite players and I was convinced that Eric Black would go on to be a Scotland legend. Big Rougvie as well - could play anywhere across the back 4, Neil Simpson, best player on the park at 21 years old. Brilliant, brilliant team.

Sounds like Patterson had a good game against a very tough winger to defend in Mitoma
He was excellent and Brighton offered next to nothing down his side in the 2nd half. Took him a wee while at the start to get to grips with Mitoma but he played him well.
Also good to see a Gilmour-less Brighton get a hiding. Everton cut through their midfield far too easily in the 1st half and could've been 5 ahead. I can only think that 3 games in such a short space of time was too much of an ask considering he's hardly been given a chance all season.

Arsenal bottle gone?
They did well to fight back at the end, but when your goalie basically hoofs it in his own net in the opening seconds...
Always chasing the game tonight. Man City will murder them.
Tierney looks well out of things.

We’re getting a message that says we have exceeded out storage and we need to pay for more capacity. However I don’t t think we’ve exceeded our limit. We’ve been deleting all day but no luck. Any tips?
Never heard of that. All Outlook messages, etc are usually stored in a .pst file on your local machine. Who's sending you that?

Saw this one on the BBC Gossip page and thought it was pretty funny:
Jason Cummings, who switched allegiance from Scotland to Australia, fears hostility the next time he returns to the former. (Sun)
FFS he could walk down any street in the country and nobody would give him a second glance! He didn't even get quoted when we had absolutely NOBODY up front to pick. Hardly missed out on a prolific, 30-goals-a-season wonderboy there!

Yep, absolutely battered them. I remember talking to a German mate who couldn't believe how tough a game we gave them (in terms of our play and physicality).
Took a couple of flukey goals for them to get past us 😠
Aye that 2nd goal was absolutely ridiculous. Came off Malpas and landed in the one place Goram couldn't possibly reach. The team never deserved that sort of luck going against them in an outstanding performance.

I was at all 3 games and whilst i was extremely drunk that is a million miles from my recollections - particularly the Germany game where it was 2 going on 5
The way to judge it is if everyone felt hard done to after the first two games - we never
You must've been extremely drunk cos we should've been 4 up on Germany after 20 minutes.

To be honest a good case could be made for any of the 74, 78 and 82 squad.
Definitely. That's a frightening amount of winners in the 82 squad. In 78 we were leaving out a EC-winning captain and a centre-forward who was Player of the Year down south. Imagine that nowadays!
I had a wee look at the full squad for 74 just to refresh my memory and was amazed that Pat Stanton wasn't in there although 2 of his teammates were. We had some talent in 74 when we could leave out a brilliant player like that. A wee bit light up front though which seems to have been our curse down the decades. Denis Law was done by that time and Ormond admitted he was there just so he could get the experience of playing in the WC.
74 shades it for me although that might've been different had Danny McGrain made it to Argentina.

I take it aaid is waiting on his instructions from SNP HQ on what to post?
What a complete and utter pigs' breakfast these fkwits in the SNP have made of the last 8 years. Get them to fck. If we need to start again from the ground up then so be it, but these fkin clowns are not fit for purpose.

Only consolation is that it sounds like a mercifully quick death. Doesn't bear thinking about being stuck in there with air gradually running out and knowing nobody's coming for you. That'd be beyond your foulest nightmares. Poor folk.
