Eeesh, this is not pretty for the Scots. This could end up being 5 or 6. They just havent been in it at all.

I don’t specifically remember that however… During the Beebs 1987 FA Cup Final Cov v Spurs coverage (Cov fan here), their half-time chat included a slow-mo montage (how very noughties :grinning:) of players performing bits of skill, quirky moments etc all set to New Order’s classic Your Silent Face. Silky housewives favourite Des Lynam introduced it after showing footage of a pre-match keepy uppy competition ‘sure it takes skill to make it, but you’ll also need a lot more besides’ etc etc. Cue the music, run VT.

Big NO fan but it always struck me as bizarre, in what’d been one of the most eventful 1st halves in a Cup Final for donkeys… Three goals and another disallowed that they put it on. The things we remember eh?? Still it was a lovely montage :ok_hand:

I’ll stop now.

That was carnage. When we crumble we crumble hard. On the plus side we’re used to it :rofl:

I’ve got a programme from that match signed by Keith Houchen. He did the presentation evening of my under 11s football team just after

On the plus side, plastic chairs all over Germany breathed a sigh of relief as England hadn’t arrived yet :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Well that was interesting. As an English person living in Scotland I always like to see Scotland do well. I watched it in my local with a couple of Scottish mates. My prediction of Germany scoring within the first minute didn’t go down too well (and almost happened) :scream::joy:

Did Scotland even let a shot off?!

No. We only had 2 touches of the ball in the Germany penalty box :upside_down_face:

My brother in law and nephews are going to the match on Wednesday. Would be an amazing experience to be there if they win.

This seems like as good a place as any to post this crackin’ World Cup single b-side from the Scottish team… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gJp9QrmxwQ

England: making average opponents look good since 1970.

I had 1-0 England on my Super 6 so it worked for me

Good ol’ England, could put a glass eye to sleep :yawning_face:
Only 3 things guaranteed in life, death, taxes and England underwhelming on the big stage.
I’d like to think it’s gonna get better but let’s be honest it probably won’t :unamused:

If I was English and won our first game I’d be buzzing. We got filleted by Germany and I’m already buzzing for Wednesday. Maybe this comes with the territory being. Dundee United all my days :rofl:
