OK guys, I watched the game yesterday and it turned out as I expected, although Scotland were unlucky with all their near
misses.

See some blaming the manager and his team selection, well the last manager that I can vaguely remember getting us to the final was Ally MacLeod (God rest his soul) .

So what does that say about Scotland's international football
(WE ARE JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH) .

I still hear in my head the song "we're on our our way to Argentina" every time Scotland play. That's some memory to stick from all those years ago.

Ever since Ally left I lost interest in our national team because of the results from all his successors.

Aye I'm still a Scotland team watcher, expecting nothing tho.

Dont know a song with those words and the last manager to take us to any finals was Craig Brown I think.
Ally was 40+ years ago, Brown was 20+.

Bluebilly - the Czechs had quite a few near misses of their own. And yes I remember the Argentine world cup - - were Scotland not ranked in the Top 10 in the world before that one?
and they should have played Big DJ who was on fire then.

OK guys, don't know how that song got stuck in my head I wisnae born 40 years ago.

Maybe my dad was on about it or I saw some repeats somewhere .

When reminded by DEEB about Craig brown that brought back my confusion cause I do remember Craig as Scotland manager (one of several now) .

Cheers guys.

And we'll really shake them up,
When we win the world cup. 😁.
Ally really believed Scotland would win the world cup, he even had me believing.
Ally was a wee fibber. 😁.

Remember the crowd at Hampden to wish them all the best as well, Brexit!
And then the static Roughie in goals blew it for us!
Hammered from Peru, draw with Iran and then we beat Holland!
But we'll always have Archie Gemmill's wonder goal. 👍.

I was at the previous home international games just before the finals DJ couldn’t have been any better, blew headers home from almost outside the box, only player I ever seen head a ball quite like him was mario Kempis at ibrox, with power and accuracy, DJ was fantastic, but they left him out, a shocking decision imo.

Wee Gemmils goal is in the word cup goals Hall of fame, magical.
I remember the cans of tenants lager mph with the dolly birds on and Alan Roughs other half was one of them.
Scottish goalkeepers back then were a joke, maybe if we'd had Andy Goram we would have won the world cup. 😁.

Aye Tom, I believe big DJ and Ally had a right falling out pre tournament in a Doune Hotel? Daft decision to cut your nose off. Remember Joe Harper getting game time in front of big Derek who was on fire going in to the tournament.

Wasn't Carole Smillie ( Wheel of Fortune ) one of the Tennants Lager girls as well, Brexit?

Yes she was mph, being on those cans must have got her noticed, and she's a blue nose, we've got Carol smillie the Tim's got Susan Bhoyle, I know who I'd rather be stuck in a lift with. ☺.
