I would love to know why people take random flags of their non-participant countries to games like this? Why do they think anyone cares where they're from? 

Like this?

This Austria dark horse thing looking a valid shout.

For a few brief moments a year or so back, that was Scotland’s label by some for this tournament.

They finished 3rd in 1974 and 1982 World Cups. The '82 team had some great players like Boniek and Lato

Boniek was a fantastic player.

The 74 team had two I always remember.

Grzegorz Lato was the Golden Boot winner - he also won Olympic gold in 72 - and stayed on to be part of the 82 team.

Jan Tomaszewski is remembered by the English for his performance against England, in the 1973 qualifying match for the 1974 World Cup, which England needed to win. Tomaszewski was labelled "a clown" by Brian Clough before the match but had the last laugh as he turned in a man-of-the-match performance repeatedly denying England's attackers; the only goal he conceded being an equalizing penalty from Allan Clarke. Poland drew the game 1–1 and qualified for the finals at the expense of England. He was of course Scottish Footballer of the Year for 1973 . . .

Agreed. Most of the best kits have been 3 colours.

Why is Kevin Gallacher wearing 2 & John Collins 6?

Luckily, I was only a little kid for that 1973 game, but the video makes you cringe.  However, Ziggy Boniek was imitated during secondary school break time games.  One of football's finest muzzies, competing with great Scots like Souness and Willie Miller.
