England fans singing to the Spanish Juans: 'Are you Scotland in disguise...'

Maguire is a bit gormless sometimes. Clattering from behind like a dinosaur defender

Bit weird, given our last match ended in a draw with England needing a last minute equaliser. I know it's #topbantz and everything, but the record between the sides is a lot more even than I suspect a lot of folk realise.

You're right, and it surprised me.

It's one of my favourite football bits of knowledge. Another is that we top the table (by 4 games) in the Unofficial Football World Championships, which isn't too shabby.

A costly kick indeed! A £500 fine and no football for 3 years.https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co....ers-steward-who-celebrated-bradley-dack-goal/

To be fair, I didn't think there was too much wrong with his effort; but I suppose that nowadays thee's more emphasis on deft touches than oomph.

EBT McCann had left Dundee.

Back to Sky probably to tell others where they are going wrong.

Agree. Likewise I didn't see much wrong with Ramos on Salah which upset folk so much. Both at it.

His reaction to Dier's tackle proved what a prize daffodil he is - if you can't take it, don't dish it out.

I see Andy Robertson has come in for a lot of flak for his performance against Israel. As an LFC fan, I think he's great but I must admit I was surprised when I saw that he had been made captain. Surely you need someone with a bit more experience...

Although it seems that after Naismith, he's actually the second most capped outfield player in the squad at the moment. And maybe that hints at the root cause of Scotland's current problems - lots of young, inexperienced players.

Their current FIFA ranking actually flatters Scotland. No way do Israel deserve to be 50 places below them.
