microdave Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Following on from the player thread, I thought this might be quite good too. Mine would be the 0-3 defeat by Morocco in 1998. I was convinced we would win that game and progress to the knockout stages for the first time. The performance was rotten and my mood wasn't helped by Norway beating Brazil which would've rendered the result meaningless in any case. I was totally scunnered with fitba and was finished with the game. It took me a few days to get over it which is very unlike me. It usually only takes me about 15 minutes to get over a defeat. The only other Scotland game that comes close to that disappointment was Italy in 2007! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slide tackle Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 For me, im only 15 so only been to 2 entire campaigns i need to say the 0-0 against serbia first game last campaign. After all the hype going into it with craig levein saying we were capable of winning every game in the group to draw 0-0 i really left hampden deflated, then after drawing to macedonia it became clear we werent making it to rio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Italy at home in 2007 was a massive disappointment because hopes were so high that day and to have it snatched away from us the way it was made it worse. I have the campaign DVD which I still can not bring my self to watch the last 5 minutes of as it still makes me feel sick inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Was Italy 07 worse than getting knocked out of France 98, euro 96/92 Italia 90 etc? Italy nov 07 is definitely worse I know being a Scotland fan of my era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigos Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 The two losses against Wales recently were unbearable. Even thinking about it scunners me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernscum Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 The two losses against Wales recently were unbearable. Even thinking about it scunners me. Really? They don't even appear in the top ten for me! The Italy game takes a bit of beating (in recent times anyway) but the 2-2 against the Czech republic in 2011 was also a bit of a gut wrencher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltedsteamer147 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Where do I start? There are too many to choose from. Monaco, the Faroes fiasco and Macedonia 2008 all spring to mind. My biggest disappointment was probably Holland 2003 though. Only because we had won at Hampden and we were totally outclassed a few days later. I thought we had a real chance.

fringo Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) As unfortunately reminded by All Bongo in the other thread ( ) - Costa Rica 1990 and also Peru 1978 are up there - oh - and England 1996. (I wasn't actually there for any of them if that's the criteria?) Edited July 4, 2015 by fringo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLT NY Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Uruguay 86 for me. A lot of competition, but this wins it hands down. Group of death, but with a good team. Needed a win to advance and couldn't buy a goal against 10 men for 89 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Aye that Uruguay game was a scunnerer. That was the first campaign I was into in a big way, going to Hampden with my mates etc. So deflating for it to end like that after the emotional rollercoaster of the qualifiers. St Etienne 98 was up there too. Only crumb was knocking back £100 ticket to watch on the big telly in the square. Spent the cash on the Cote D'Azur afterwards...

I have the campaign DVD which I still can not bring my self to watch the last 5 minutes of as it still makes me feel sick inside. Yep, I've never felt so upset at a football match, a mixture of rage and utter sadness all in one after one of, of not the best atmospheres I've ever experienced at football. Paris was amazing but the buzz at Hampden that day was unreal. Still get raging thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoofitharder Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 the missed penalty against England at euro 96 was the worst moment for me.I wasn't at the game i was in a pub in Bradford surrounded by about 200 English. there were about 6 of us supporting Scotland and we were getting dogs abuse.when the penalty was awarded there was 6 of us dancing around the pub giving it what for.then the miss.the pub erupted and when Gazza scored I almost cried.my most disappointing experience as a Scotland supporter was the first time i went to Hampden park it was in the seventies what a shithole i couldn't believe my eyes.i was so exited to be going to watch the national side but nothing could prepare you for the state of the ground no proper terracing the toilets were a joke folk were just pishing against the back wall.I was in the north enclosure and at the back the pish was running down wall from the stand on stilts above.what an atmosphere though. ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 ^^^ 100% agree. For all the slagging Hampden gets now, imagine the TAMB was in existance during Hampden's previous life as a cesspit! Oh and I couldn't imagine what it must have been like watching the 96 game with an English crowd. Torture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 The game we lost under walter smith at hampden, prior to playing slovenia away. Pretty sure it was scotland 0 belarous1. Was all booked up for a trip to lubjuana but felt so sick at the result i didnt want to go. Ended up going we won 0-3 and had a ball, but result meant nothing. No germany wc. Wasn't smiths fault as he inherited a poor start from berti. Wee gordon has had the full campaign and i am hoping he can make up for all the didsapoinments. Didnt make tiblisi in 2007, but wathed it on tv. That was also a gut wrencher after winning in paris and beating ukraine at hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASTA Mick Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 So many to pick from; Holland 6-0, Georgia 2-0, Italy 2-1,Belarus 1-0, all the games in Cardiff, England in 96 and Brazil in 98 (I know it was Brazil but that OG!). But the worst I've felt was after we blew a 2 goal lead against 10 man Belgium at Hampden. Totally deflated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Italy 2007. Nothing can come close to that. The success of the campaign and the build up that week made the defeat so hard to take. England 99 Holland 03 Czech Republic 10 / 11 Spain 10 Norway 09 Morocco 98 England / Switzerland 96 Notable mentions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
