Ally Bongo Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Since i have been on this earth i have never known a Scotland National Team to win in those circumstances Seen it often in club football but never with Scotland Maybe it has never happened before at all No doubt some statto will remind me of a forgotten friendly where it did - but i doubt it It has always been defeat from the Jaws of Victory - not the other way round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didnt have any urgency or creativity and that result is done to a lucky goal and one brilliant move late on for mcleans goal. I will take it all day long but we need to be a bit better in our remaining matches. Yep, we were lucky we did something brilliant 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e we have played relatively well, led until late on, and then somehow lost the game. It makes me think of our last minute winner v Israel. A game that we never would have won in the last 20 years (even when we deserve it). And tonight, we weren't at our best, conceded a dodgy penalty, but still won the game. It genuinely feels like we have began our golden generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember thinking 'this never happens to us' on that occasion. I think it was an injury time winner in that case? Just checked. Gough in 90+ 6 minutes (!). I seem to remember we really needed that one - maybe more than today's result. It helped us edge out France that year. Norway in our group, too.

Yeah, but how many times have we said that about goals against us? We weren't great, but Norway were fucking shite. For most of my life, other teams have done that to us. We now have a team that can do that to other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been unlucky in the past but often its was more a case of us being a poor side who couldnt get results. We look alot better these days but we cant always expect luck to be on our side. Both teams looked poor tonight. Will need to up our game a bit if we want to beat georgia on tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I don't agree with view that we were lucky. It wasn't most free-flowung football ever, but performance roughly what I expected. A draw probably fair result on balance of play. Norway were hardly any better than us and did not create many chances despite higher possession. We defended well. Desire, belief, and poor defending from Norway won it for us in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Sure it wasn't our greatest performance but if anything that makes the win more impressive. We showed immense heart to dig ourselves out of a hole and not only equalise but go on and get the winner too. Great spirit. Especially, when you consider tge roasting temperatures in a match at the end ofca long season in June.

Templeton_Peck Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Yeah i agree I dont think it was lucky at all. The referee was a joke all night and got conned into giving a pen when Haaland threw himself to the ground. Performance was really diciplined and defending was excellent keeping odegaard and haaland quiet. We dug in and got our reward. On to Georgia on Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertsscot Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I just blank these games as I've been through the wringer too many times. We were out watering the garden when I heard a couple of shouts which I thought might be good news and so it turned out. Excellent result, roll on Tuesday.
