I fear Euro 96 again where we miss out by one goal. We need to avoid a spanking against Brazil. If we can keep it down to 1 or 2 then we might scrape through. We did well to avoid a battering after losing an early goal.


Yep, been saying the same. Losing by 1 last night was probably the best we could have hoped for but I fear we needed another 1 or 2 against Haiti.

For a bit of context during the USA v OZ game , in SH a US defender completely blocked an OZ player in the box using shoulder. Far more contact and force than the challenge on McGinn…..No pen….No VAR..

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

Why were Morocco not trying to increase their lead while it was 1-0, JTH? Didn`t they want to increase their chance of winning the group by improving their goal difference?

BBC sport reporting that “the Referee told McGinn that the penalty was denied as ball was going out of play…. “ 🤔

Lol.....getting pushed over tends to make it harder to catch up with the ball!

The ref didn’t think it was foul so no pen.

We were rank. We got beat. End of…


That first is factually correct but doesn`t stop any of us disagreeing with him. Or are we not allowed opinions anymore?

I strongly disagree we were rank. We started badly but grew into the game and finished relatively strongly, in my opinion.

Doak must start on Wednesday and give them something to think about. We have to start our best players.


Here’s a question for you, Da. Why not start our best players against Morocco ?


Raymie I believe you`ve played the game at a decent level; surely it`s subjective as to who our best players are and also who the best team for that game would be? Otherwise why would that absolute dummy Oakley Boothe be on from the start in the cup final?


It is subjective and there are such things as horses for courses and what you want to achieve from a game. You then have occasions when the manager gets his team selection wrong or the players he picks don’t perform to their levels.
Folks on here will know that I am not a Steve Clarke fan. He’s a pragmatic and primarily cautious manager. I think the Scots could be a little more adventurous. He is the Scottish version of Gareth Southgate, who did well, to a point. Southgate copped criticism in similar ways to Clarke.

McGinn was definitely fouled inside the box, and to me
that`s a penalty all day long. The McTominey one was
50/50, Celtic and Rangers would have been given a
penalty in both incidents. The foul on Adams should
have been a red card, not yellow. Yes we were poor, but
a crap referee doesn`t help.
