The DA Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 8 hours ago, D.A.F.C said: Chris Sutton is a decent pundit and actually pretty funny. He does go off on rants occasionally and lose the plot like the lying down claim but I enjoy his views and he says it like it is. Give me him over boring Ian Wright any day. He's funny for the first half of the season and then he gets a bit wearing. By the end of the season, he's throwing out any old thing to get a bite. Come the start of the next season, he resets and off we go again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Did people at the time actually believe we were going to win in 78? Why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 1 hour ago, YassinMoutaouakil said: Did people at the time actually believe we were going to win in 78? Why? Scotland had an impressive squad in '74 and acquitted themselves well against world champions Brazil and European champions Yugoslavia. Had they played Zaire 2nd or 3rd, rather than 1st, they would've known better than to sit back on their 2-0 lead and could easily have scored more, thus progressing on goal difference rather than being eliminated without losing a game. (Remember Ireland once got into the second round without winning one.) The '78 squad was believed to be even better and with names like Dalglish, Sounness and Jordan, maybe it was. I'm not sure anyone really believed they would win the thing but the media got us all revved up and anyway, it's fun to dream. Given the draw, a second place finish was at least expected and after that, who knows what might happen with a bit of luck. Fervour was high. As a result, nobody predicted the utter shambles the campaign turned out to be. Gordon McQueen's injury keeping him out of the squad, player dissent over bonuses, certain stars being perhaps beyond their sell by date, the infamous lack of discipline in the camp, and of course, Willie Johnston's drug scandal, the reasons for the failure are myriad. But then you look at the game against Holland, a team many believe to be the best that ever played the game and see how the Scots played against them, and you have to wonder what might've been. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crroma Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Music festivals are bad. If people would just admit they only go to get fucked up on drugs and get laid then fair enough but going to see 2 bands you've heard of and 40 you havn't sounds like an awful experience. Then again they are that high on ket and dope as they try and finger 18 stone Maggie from kirkintilloch that they probably don't care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
