Salt n Vinegar Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Amazing. Woke up this morning and heard a radio report about last night's result in Norway... it wasn't a dream, we actually DID beat them with 2 late goals. Can still scarcely believe it, but I'll take it. One of our nephews was at the game. His condition is unknown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(P.S. - Haaland is a total fraud compared to the Aussie) Brilliant. Great win last night and one that was deserved. Norway for all their possession at times did little or nothing with it. Andy Robertson superb. McGinn, Dykes for the goals and McTominay all superb. Porteous and Hendry a bit bombscarish with their ill-discipline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not examined him but pretty confident he's suffering from delirium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like half of it was used in celebrating the first though. 30 seconds. You can hear the ko whistle on the radio commentary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moomintroll Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 The morning after the night before, as a Killie fan it would have been utterly selfish to keep him to ourselves & I am astonished that the SFA finally got something right. Breaking new ground as a Scotland supporter being positive about anything but mibbe John Carver is actually a decent coach who was right all along. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmegaSpeedyPro Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 We went from a ranking low of 88 in march 2005 to a high of 13 in October 2007 . In the space of one and a bit qualifying campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly, when Johan Cruyff, died I watch a lot videos from his Ajax and Feyenoord days and was stunned to hear every single Dutch commentator pronouncing his name as 'Crouff' 'with the crou' pronounced as in 'crouch'. I watched the game on Dutch TV and the Dutch commentator pronounced Haaland the way most of us have been pronouncing it, kind of weird you'd think saying Holland would be easier, you're spot on with the Cruyff pronunciation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Commentators sound like such wankers when they show off that they know how one player's name is pronounced in their home country and then just butcher the pronouncations of every other player in the team. Norwegian, Spanish, Georgian, etc commentators and fans aren't going to be pronouncing the Scottish players' names the same way Scottish people will. It's fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Foot Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Just watched the highlights. f**k me, that second goal. As well worked as any you’re likely to see. And the finish. Sublime. What is this Scotland team, and what has it done with the bodies of decades of huddys that we had become so accustomed to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye absolutely, case in point the Dutch guy last night when the 2nd goal went in shouted "Mcleeeen" and I was totally fine with that because it was an absolute beauty of a goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Fantastic result - sign of a great team to pull out a win when far from your best. What an amazing time to be a Scotland fan, happy to have been pushing back against some of the absolute shite some of the players get on this sub forum. We are a really good team, the table doesn't lie. Time to change the description of this sub forum? It's no abject source of misery that's for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like Jonathan Pearce for pronouncing players' names correctly. It's professional and respectful and as important as knowing some stats and details about players. But aye, doing it inconsistently would be weird and lazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar_Army Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 At the second goal we had four players in the box when it hit the net. Shows the determination of the players to try and get a winner. Just wish I had a ticket for Tuesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to make the effort to do that for every player you commentate on, fair play. I don't think it's anywhere near as important as actually knowing about the players as footballers. I think some folk think it shows some sort of colonialist mindset to not pronounce foreign names exactly as foreigners would. It's not. All countries do it. The Uruguyan defender, Coates, has Scottish ancenstry and that's where the name comes from, but they all call him 'Co-ah-tez'. It's not disrespectful or ignorant. It's perfectly understandable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott666 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 It's worth watching where McLean is when the move for the second goal starts. He's well inside his own half, running towards the 18 yard box and tracking back with a Norway player. From that point to the goal only takes 14 seconds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
