Scotland's Euro 2016 absence hurts... and it's only going to get worse as we star in our own version of Home Alone next summer
- Scotland are the only one of the home nations not to qualify for Euro 2016

John Greechan is an absolute fud. But then, most Scottish football journalists are because they can't see past teams in cities.
And yes, our national side isn't particularly good, but we had the hardest group to get qualify from and were unlucky not to.

That's ok; we're shite and we know we are!

Rather that than be like a certain neighbour whose media have a tendency to raise the expectations to a level whereby they expect to win every tournament they play in.....
Only to be disappointed when the crushing reality emerges and they find they aren't quite as good as they thought they were.
Living on the memory of a lucky break in the form of a goal that never was, half a century ago

Just living for your superior neighbours to fail..how sad!
Besides, if the goal had been disallowed we'd have still won 3-2. That's why Sir Geoff got a fourth knowing you Jocks'd crow about if for decades.

I'm confused @Accy cyclist - are you English or Northern Irish?

Glory hunter if you ask me, he'll be claiming Welsh ancestry soon
The goal that never was obviously changed the course of the game; leaving the Germans exposed at the back as they went in pursuit of an equaliser, and thus allowing the 4th England "goal" and those immortal words that get churned out by the BBC at every opportunity - "some of the crowd are on the pitch, they think it's all over! It is now....."

I've had a Union flag flying outside my house(on a pole not from the bedroom window
) for the last few days. It's there for England and NI in the Euros, and Wales i suppose
, Also there for the result of the EU vote and for the forthcoming commemoration of the Battle of the Somme.

This must be the first game of the Euros featuring two serious contenders for the title.

This must be the first game of the Euros last 16 featuring two diddy teams who have no chance of winning the title (with apologies to Iceland who are there on merit ).

Of course, and that's fine.
But you've had a couple of cracks on this thread at me, which didn't need Mod involvement which is fine.
