Win one we should lose (England), lose one we should win (CR), and draw or narrowly lose one we could have won (Croatia). Despite that I'm massively excited about this. They looked good vs Netherlands but not sure of that's a good sign or not. Happy to eat all my words about Steve Clarke if he gets us through the group stage. Hope he puts out a team that has a go. It was brilliant to see Turnbull and Gilmour get games. Tierney could ben one of the players of the tournament - definitely has to be our first choice LB in a back 4.

It's like the Scottish cringe but hyper targeted at the TA because some folk wear kilts and hats with feathers in them. (Yet Rudi Skacel in a ridiculous maroon and white wig is totally acceptable). These tournaments are supposed to have festival like atmospheres after all (and they do wherever the TA is, having been to several). The difference is our fans manage to enjoy ourselves without beating people up and destroying towns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really proud to have a keyring from France 98 which says 'Voted the friendliest fans'. I feel sorry for the younger generation who have never experienced a World Cup or Euros. I'm excited for the Euros but it will be interesting to see what the atmosphere will be like with reduced crowds etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stupidity and pointlessness of that song is exactly why it's so good. You haven't lived until you've been on a bus full of grown men banging on windows and singing a song for toddlers with all the seriousness of soldiers singing a battle hymn. It's the most ironic song in football. It perfectly defines a support that doesn't take itself seriously (mostly thanks to the almost complete lack of OF fans in the travelling support), unlike the England support.

Kiwidoug Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Do people think Souttar would be in the frame if misfortune was to strike any of our central defenders? I suspect the answer is no given that he's been playing at championship level. Would be a bit of a sickener if Porteous was called up instead. I've watched a fair bit of him and note that even some Hibs supporters are saying he's a complete liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland to get through the groups, beat Sweden in the next round and lose to France in the Quarters. I didn't realise but 4 of the best placed 3rd finishers in groups go through. As long as we win one game by a decent margin and not lose too heavily in the other 2 games there's a good chance of going through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
