decent result for Wales against Turkey FT 0-0 although Turkey were reduced to 10 for the last 30+ mins, i think they do have a good chance of finishing in the top two in their group.
Aye I enjoyed it tonight. Spain dominated possession as expected by Gemmill constantly has his teams structurally sound.Quote:

Ireland playing 3 up front against England. Absolutely zero fear shown there. We have better individual players but overall thier squad is better than Scotlands. What we would give to even have 3 strikers at a decent level to pick from let alone start them. Evan Ferguson not even in the squad.

As it should be :cb trust Rice to score. Ireland unlucky to be behind played really wellQuote:

That was a brilliant goal to be fair. England. Old hammer them here if they want to.
Not sure it would have made any difference. The gulf in quality is enormous.Quote:

I think our midfield is quite a bit better than them. We atleast have quality players in that role.Quote:

Rice was excellent for England.
Good start for Carsley. He did well at under 21 level for England so could be a decent move up. Wonder if we’ll do the same with Gemmill? Done well at Scotland age groups and could help bring the younger players into the senior team
They lost to an even better team in the Euros final pure and simple (yet actually got themselves into a position where they could have sneaked a win), didn't **** themselves at all.Quote:

Yeah. There was a lot of confused reporting on this today. England manager who played for Ireland won’t sing British national anthem. All very odd to be worrying about.Quote:

It's a non-story IMO, yet of course there are some whose agenda it will suit to highlight.
Are people forced to sing? Been to countless Scotland football and rugby games and not sung Flower of Scotland. I have a shocking voice. Personal choice.
I'm ambivalent about National anthems generally, but find the idea of being forced to sing one borderline totalitarian. Nothing would stop me singing an anthem more quickly than being told I had to.Quote:

No, they’re not. This really isn’t a story. Personally I’d do away with them being sung at all.Quote:

Nobody should be required to sing them though.
Same team as Thursday night. Clarke is clueless if he thinks Hanley and McLean are good enough.
Ronaldo on the bench.
Same team again. Why?

Pity the 2 guys that scored for them didn't stick with the national side they represented in their teens 😪Quote:

He is bombproof job security wise though.Quote:

McLean, Hanley, Ralston. LOL.
I'm fearing the worst in this game unfortunately. 😟
I hope we get humped and Clark ****s off takes his miserable unadventurous ways with him. Let's at least have a go and give Doak and Gauld a start.
Certainly stubborn.Quote:

Well we’ve scored :greengrin
get in goal machine McTominay :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Thought he might have been offside but no chance
What a team :greengrin
Pick that oot!
That team played well against Poland.
Good goal, McTominay has taken over the mantle from McGinn as the man for goals in the last year or 2.

Great goal!
Easy !
Hope this doesn’t annoy the Portuguese though….!
Well **** me that was a cracking goal by McTominay, and Man U decided to let him go too :greengrin
Get in there!
Still think we should change it to "Will ye no come back again" or "We're no awa tae bide awa", either would be more fitting.Quote:

I reckon he’ll do very well at Napoli.Quote:
