BryanBlessed Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Watched McGinn live in Lille last night. He put in a poor performance as did the rest of the Villa team except the GK. I'd love to have Martinez on my team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn plays too much football & might have benefitted from them going out but on the other hand going into the Euros in a happy place after lifting a European trophy & finishing in a champions League place might boost his form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember the commentary team on Radio Solent a couple of seasons ago (including Dave Merrington - the man who brought Le Tissier, Shearer, etc... through the youth system) finding it hard to comprehend how Armstrong rarely started for Scotland. Still can't forgive him for not getting it to fuck against England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger intae them Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Doesn’t grate at all …….. he tried to finish the game, like a high quality player would. I’d hoof it out, he saw a killer pass ……., and fucked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn’t have to be a killer pass though, just a simple ball over the top into an area, and it would almost have certainly been 3-1!!……can you imagine the scenes!!

Arbroath1320 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 If Bremner had hit it with his left foot, he would have scored. I always told my son to learn to use both feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its fair enough having angst and berating ref and UEFA for decisions. What I do not get is people holding things against Armstrong and other players of ours because an error cost us. The players give their all and errors happen and the players will be gutted enough. Do our players not get forgiven for a mistake?

Overweight, out of condition, middle aged blokes who couldn't run at their peak, couldn't head a ball, couldn't tackle, had no tactically awareness and couldn't make a five yard pass seem to be the worst for berating players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things stay with you. A massive moment in Scottish football history, if Bremner had scored we’d have beaten Brazil and won the group, who knows what might have happened? Our entire history could’ve been different, getting that monkey of progressing past the groups out of the way so early. Who would’ve though back then that all these tournaments and decades later we would still be waiting for knockout football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does their opinion only matter when everything is hunky dory. Lap up the praise by all means but equally accept the criticism when it is deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I'd criticise someone is a lack of effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs that England match was seven years ago and yet people still bring it up as reason to hold something over him. That is not fine after so long.

I seem to remember their keeper making a save that was shortlisted for save of the tournament. Although I was just a loon then so could've created my own version of events over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
