john Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Right, let’s start the party. That’s the official song from the Fratellis btw, remember them, they had that one big song twenty years ago so an appropriate choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Lineup - Marshall in goal, not the best keeper in the squad but he’s an absolute icon in Scotland right now. Tierney out with a knock, McTominay in midfield, Dykes as main striker. And we have a decent bench, which is not something I remember from 96 or 98. Highlight reel of Czechs at euros pretty intimidating, Poborsky and Baros. Now Soucek is real quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 The glorious hour approaches! I might have to give my voice a rest after cheering the fifth goal. But half-time should be long enough for it to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Superb defending there by O'Donnell. Shame it was in the Czech penalty area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I expected more from a Mcginn, Mctominay & armstrong midfield tbh. @john MCG I love your title lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Not sure why that wasn't a penalty on McTominay, tbqh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Yeah, could’ve been a penalty. Would’ve been quite harsh though probably. The goal was coming. Good pressure from Scotland but Czechs always looked sharper on the final delivery. Not sure why we’re so happy to give up corner after corner, maybe better to try and work it out from the back. Robertson looking great, the absence of Tierney not noticed going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Scotland have had enough good chances to have had two goals themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Oh mate, you have to score that. I would say the Czechs have been lucky but those were two good goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 If we're honest, if we and the Czechs swapped strikers we'd be 2-0 up. That's the difference. Not to bag on Lyndon Dykes, who's done well and come a long way, but his level isn't where Schick is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 That's it for Scotland I would think. This was a must win game for both sides really if they were to have any chance of qualifying. Scotland unlikely to get more than a point against Croatia and England so qualifying as one of the four best third placed teams looks to be beyond them.

john Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Not too bad a performance, made some chances. We’re objectively the worst team in the group so nothing has changed in that way. Just greater odds to defy. 1 hour ago, Raja said: I love your title lol Pure irony I assure you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Yeah, so many teams in these euros that just do not have a decent striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derfel Cadarn Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 It’s good we’re letting GenY and the younger millenials get to experience the crushing disappointment that is Scotland in a major tournament. And of course get to see our goalie get tangled up in his own net like a minor spiderman crook getting webbed up until the cops arrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
