iantjambo Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) At least it’s all in our own hands. We don’t need results to go our way elsewhere. Unfortunately, this is when we tend to blow it. I think I’m more nervous now than I was on Friday. The only thing that’s worrying me is our lack of goals. We’re the only team in the tournament not to have scored. We need to be more clinical in front of goal. Edited June 22, 2021 by iantjambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netherlands in Budapest is almost impossible now. This is all based on some very quick research... Everything hinges on Group F. If that group has a 3rd place qualifier then Croatia play Spain/Sweden/Slovakia at Hampden.. Don’t think so. Belgium will play third place from D only if third place in B also qualifies which they won’t pretty sure it’s Hampden or Budapest for third place in D.

WorldChampions1902 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Unfortunately, an inability to score goals has hampered Scotland’s progression at major tournaments for ever. I remember the 1974 WC in particular where our miserly 2-0 victory over Zaire would ultimately cost us progression out of the group stages, despite being unbeaten throughout the group stages. The other thing that remains long in my memory, was the sheer brutality meted out to us by Brazil when we drew 0-0, not to mention Billy Bremner’s one yard missed sitter at the end of the game. Bitter sweet memories indeed, but I honestly believe we will get the win we need tonight to progress for the first time in our history.

Outwith their own bubble there shouldn’t be less than 2 metres contact with ANYONE in another bubble for longer than 15 minutes. There is no need for any England players to isolate unless they both bummed Gilmour in the lavvies for 20 minutes after the game. There is more to this than meets the eye.

It seems the English stance is precautionary at the moment and Southgate doesn’t know if Mount or Chilwell can play tomorrow. One thing I’m confused about is why are Scotland taking advice from Public Health England? I can see why, in relation to training at their English training base but surely they have to advice from Public Health Scotland tomorrow in relation to a game being played in Glasgow or are they just being sneaky about this to achieve a more favourable outcome? The incident happened in England. And Scotland are based in England at Middlesbrough for the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't been decided yet. But I'll predict Mount and Chilwell will be allowed back with squad. Hyper sensitive/ politically correct even to take this 'precaution'. As others posted plenty other people hugged and spent time talking to Billy Gilmour after the game. I think the UEFA protocols have persuaded someone to do this, perhaps to get brownie points with UEFA when they talking of moving the final to Hungary.

A shadow of the winning team just four years earlier. I remember watching the opening game of the tourney, a sodden pitch and a dreadful 0-0 draw. Think it dawned on most people that this Brazil side was wanting. Good to see them get their just rewards when Holland showed them total football.

Got to be a good sign. Modric, Vida and Lovren were in those two games also. Interesting match.
