Despite Ramy having a bit too much hatred for England I do find it strange that on a board for fans of the Scotland national team there are people who actually are happy for England to win. Definitely for the watchin those ones. I would suggest that these people are sensible well adjusted beings that can tolerate another nation winning a 90 minute football match.

ParisInAKilt Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Bit jealous tbh, they seem to genuinely try to improve, obviously they’ve more resources etc but a proper footballing nation. We really had no right being in the knockout stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Och away you go Nobby, the statement wasnt that you can tolerate it, it was that you want them to win. I can tolerate it and I am perfectly balanced thank you, but I most certainly dont want England to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here was me thinking this thread was a 100% unification effort. appalled and disgusted in equal measure at the responses. However each to their own and as I have my full name up here (oops) I won’t even engage. see you in September to talk football again. That’s me away for a few months. Eh?

Anyone who wants to pass time waiting for England to be papped out by Denmark or Italy feel free to contribute on the Anything Goes section. ‘Anything Goes’ except threads about England that is .

Aye, against North Macedonia and a 10 man Sweden side - in extra time! We also scored twice against Holland not so long ago, albeit in a friendly. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not disputing that we'd have been massively out of our depth in the knockout stages of this tournament.

That is not up for debate. Did they have a key player ruled out in two of their three Group matches? I don't think so. We had Tierney out V Czech Republic and Gilmour out V Croatia.

It’s just excuses though at the end of the day. Ukraine regularly produce better players and have better outcomes as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so that tells me then that you think Tierney and Gilmour would have made no difference whatsoever to team set-up and improved the team? Here was me thinking they are widely seen as two of our highest rated players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here was me thinking they are widely seen as two of our highest rated players. No they might have made a difference but they didn’t play and we lost. On another day we could have won, even with the same players, but also Stones scores that header and we get beat off england etc that’s football. Focusing on injured or unavailable players seems short sighted when the evidence suggests we just aren’t good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gets me is "All these years of hurt", like they're the only ones. Try supporting Scotland, then you know what hurt is really about!!!

Mazda Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 All is not yet lost There still exists the possibility of a Spain v Denmark finale. Otherwise it's a case of which team I least want to win it. & It will be unwatchable. For me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
