We hardly created a chance all night until the first goal(which we arguably didnt even create). I could maybe stretch to a draw but we really didnt deserve a victory. If you have watched that game tonight and cant acknowledge the huge amount of luck we got then you need to put the pint down and take off the tartan specs. Theres nothing wrong with being lucky but at least acknowledge it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most of my life, other teams have done that to us. We now have a team that can do that to other people. Exactly this! So nice to be the ones doing it for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs, but if a team does that against us, in the same circumstances, it's all "You make your own luck", "it's all about putting the ball in the net". Blah, blah. But when we do it we're just plain lucky? Edited June 17, 2023 by todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a whole lot easier and less expensive than when I was living in England. I'm just at the point where if the games not on the TV I'll not check what's going on until it's all over. It's just better for my mental health and general well-being 🙂 Edited June 17, 2023 by Hertsscot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. We were shit scared of a non existent Haaland, him going off and Gilmour coming turned the game. Gilmour change should have been made just after halftime, he came on and bossed midfield and gave us composure and a forward pass 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our second goal was well worked but i am able to acknowledge that we didnt deserve victory based on our performance tonight. Its delusional to think we deserved that and that we didnt have a huge bit of luck on our side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) SPLstats @SPLstats The only other time Scotland's men won a match after trailing going into the final 10 minutes was a 3-2 victory over England at Kennington Oval in 1889.

It wasn't a dodgy penalty (theirs was), it wasn't a bad refereeing decision (he was against us all night), and it wasn't an o.g. You need to check your definition of luck. Winning a game where you weren't the best team isn't lucky, it's football. And it's why we watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviebee Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
