heedthebaa Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 How the f**k did this team manage to get to the semis, mental stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 It reminds me of when Falkirk got to the Scottish Cup final against Inverness, playing no top flight sides until the final. Every diddy team longs for an opportunity like that and once a lifetime it might just come along. I think England will win it at least once in my lifetime, so I'm trying my best to make peace with the fact now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I do wonder if England did win the World Cup, would it suddenly kick Scotland right up the arse? As in, as a country, can't even celebrate England getting knocked out now so we've got nothing anymore. Maybe it's time we stopped hiding behind excuses and accepting failure. So often in the last few years we've seen examples of international teams massively over-achieving simply by being organised, committed, and getting results when it matters. ... though admittedly this could well be the greatest piece of clutching at straws of modern times.

RedRob72 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 There's an awful lot of arguments in here about what is a simple, immutable truth. I fucking hate the English. Get them to f**k.Aw c’mon be fair, I thought it was pretty decent of the England fans today, to ensure we were represented, with a number of their banners incorporating the Union Flag.[emoji6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm an incredibly petty and bitter man. I suspect you need to fill your time more fruitfully, so you have more in your life than hoping your neighbouring nation lose a football match. There is a whole wide world out there. Go for a walk, climb a hill, have a BBQ, spend time with loved ones and stop beating yourself up because a football team from a country near to you didn't lose a football match. Life really is far too short to waste this much angst and negativity on something you have no control over anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel any more affinity for England than the republic of Ireland or France or Denmark.France, Denmark and the ROI aren’t part of the same family of Nations as us though Pep, you know where I’m coming from. It just feels right to offer a wee bit of support to the other British teams, when we aren’t represented. I’d feel the same if it was just Wales or Northern Ireland playing in Russia.

It worked last time, in fairness. 1967 was the best year in the history of Scottish football. Off to bet all my money on Celtic winning the European Cup, Rangers making a European final, Kilmarnock making a Semi-Final and Dundee United beating Barcelona (twice) and Juventus. And Clyde finishing third in the top flight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
