A Photographic History Of Scottish Football


Recommended Posts

Scotland drew 0-0 against Uruguay at Mexico in the 1986 World Cup when a win would have set us up with a last 16 meeting and, inevitable hiding from eventual winners Argentina. 

The Uruguayans really were a shower of fucking animals, going down to ten men after one minute after Jose Batista tried to kill Gordon Strachan, in typical Scotland fashion we proceeded to make an arse of it and failed to score against a side who played with ten men for the entire match, Steve Nicol in particular guilty of a fucking horrendous miss which I still haven't forgiven the p***k for, Charlie Nicholas and Graeme Sharp spoke of how they finished the match with their 80's mullets covered in gob courtesy of the filthy b*****ds from South America, SFA president Ernie Walker described the Uruguayans after the match as the 'scum of world football' , a remark he, quite rightly refused to apologise for till his dying day.

Furthermore to the Scotland v Uruguay post, the antics of Ian St John in the ITV studio at Scotland's brutal display is, in hindsight fucking hilarious, that Steve Nicol miss I referred to is at approximately 0.35, still can't believe he fucking missed it, useless c**t :thumbsdown

Terry Butcher does likewise in 2010 after a narrow win at Somerset takes ICT back to the top flight at the first time of asking.

Did Charlie Nicholas play in that game?  I thought his World Cup ended after a bad tackle in our opening game with Denmark.

Missed the West Germany game after a crude professional foul late on in Denmark game for which the defender was only booked, Nicholas was clean through on goal, came on as a 70th minute substitute in the final game of the group v Uruguay.

That's Arthur Albiston.

Edit: sorry I see you are referring to him getting mentioned in the text, rather than the photo.

Ah right.

My old memory's playing up.  I had it in my head it was a nasty one that finished his tournament.
