Wee Billy Gilmour covid + so that`s that . Oh well....... it was a good feeling whilst it lasted.

Does that mean he'll miss the final?

Yup, v pleased for them.
(they almost had a narrow escape; if they had been tied with SWI on goals etc, then that red card would have pushed SWI above them! And a very debateable red card, at that ... )

Now that I've read the rules, a quick poll:

Who else knew that a group could be decided on a penalty shoot-out??

How does that work if the two teams are playing 3rd games at different venues?

I'm prepared to bet you that he won't play in the final. Shall we say £5?

 

[MrGrumpy]

Does that mean he'll miss the final?

It means at least he didn’t catch it from any of the English players as they never got close enough .

 

[Stephenite]

If it's ten days isolation then he could be back for the quarter final.

A coin-toss instead (presumably in a leather-lined EUFA office?).

The most Scottish thing ever.

Interestingly, if the team had been based in Scotland they would all have had to self-isolate due to the Scottish government rules

I've found a free fill-in-as-you-go Euro 2020 spreadsheet. If anyone is interested.

It's working fine with Libre Office on my laptop. But as always, folks, be careful when downloading stuff.

Aww, the poor wee bairn 😢

Never mind: he inspired one of the best chants not to make prime-time TV. kalvin phillips was interviewed on the pitch, and the fans in the adjacent stand nearly drowned it out, singing:
"Crap* Billy Gilmour!
You're just a crap Billy Gilmour.
Crap Billy Giiiiilmoooour,
You're just a ...
"... etc etc ...

Apparently Phillips took it in good spirit.

*EDIT: forgot to add - "Crap" is not the actual word they were singing.

Mm, not great but probably should be worse as somehow there's no close contacts.

In true Scottish style, we will just need to do it the hard way and maybe Patterson will get a game now.

We never ever make it easy . I’m hoping and praying we win tomorrow night.

Well done Denmark 🇩🇰 after what must have been such a tough week for them all.

And that third goal was an absolute screamer! 😳

Tough gig but you never know, and having all our best players available would just be so unfair on the Croats. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The first was none too shoddy neither! Fantastic performance overall from the Danes - best I've seen so far.
