I knew that. But the players clearly didn’t. Why do you think I put those comments in quotes? Because at tournament draw Masson and Rioch said: Masson said: “I think Scotland are certain to get to the quarter-finals, at least.” Rioch said: “I think it is marvellous for us. “Scotland will almost certainly reach the quarter-finals for the first time ever.“ https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/past-times/4053994/scotland-world-cup-1978/ I can’t find the quotes attributed to MacLeod about taking an injured McQueen to the World Cup for the later stages but it was one of many mistakes by the bold Ally.

Because you were apparently quoting someone. You put an entire sentence in quotes, not just the references to quarter and semi finals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others faces (shown) that I can recognise in that photo include Gordon McQueen, Tom Forsyth, Bobby Clark, Alan Rough, Sandy Jardine, Jim Blyth, Kenny Dalglish, plus Joe Harper, Archie Gemmill, John Robertson, Kenny Burns and Ally Macleod. I apologise in advance for any mistakes as it’s over 44 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
