  1. It’s early doors but he’s got us playing football again and he seems a cracking bloke, let’s hope it continues and that is a cracking chant 😉
  2. I’d like to see Scotland actually qualify for a World Cup but we don’t always get what we want do we ? Bring on les bleus should we beat Senegal. No point claiming your the best in the world unless you beat the best in the world is there ?
  3. To be fair, we have to play Senegal first, but I would say that on current evidence England are capable of giving any of the teams a game. To say the above may come back to haunt you. Our record in the last couple of tournaments isn’t that bad. And again those “diddy teams” actually qualified for a World Cup, which is more than you can say for some other teams 😉
  4. Like it or not their first job is to go there and win football matches not solve the problems of the world. Whilst it is a noble cause and gesture and one that I support it should not jeopardise what they are actually there for.
  5. Nope 👎 fifa have said that any captain wearing the armband would be booked. You’d have to be thick to get a yellow card for walking on the pitch and presumably again in the next game and then miss the next (without and cards actually picked up whilst playing) thats not bottling it, it’s having to put up with the rules that fifa lay down.
  6. Not a chance. As soon as this is over he will disappear. Charles and William won’t have it . He’s toxic. I know people who have had the misfortune to cross his path and every single person who has related a story is the same, it’s about what a Shiite bag he is. It’s the one area where the queen failed in that she indulged the twat too much.
  7. I didn’t say you had. Behaving like that during a funeral procession is simply rude and ill mannered and I would tend to disagree that it wasn’t an issue. I suspect 99% of the people were there to show their respect. Plod probably did him a favour getting hold of him as he would likely have gotten a hiding off of people in the crowd. All he did was make himself look like a prize cockwomble, imho of course 😉
  8. They are protesting at what is essentially a funeral procession. Whatever you personally think of her she has done a pretty good job over the last 70 or so years. Now her second son is a bellend of epic proportions, but there is also a time and a place. Protest away but plot up away and do it.
  9. Haven’t been on this board for a while and it’s nice to see things remain consistent 😉 . I’ll watch the europa final and hope the better team wins and I’ll watch the CL final and hope a meteor hits the pitch. Unless of course Bale comes on and then I hope he gets the winner and gives the finger to the Madrid fans. Long live football rivalries !!

    I hope they catch that idiot with a laser pen and ban him for life and preferably a short custodial sentence.

    I really couldn’t give a monkeys 😉 it’s sport it happens week in week out some go for you some go against you. Last night the better side won albeit off an iffy decision so I’ll take it and I would stake my house on the fact that the majority on here would react in exactly the same way. I get you’re Scotland fans and you really don’t like the England football team and the moral outrage Is laudable and deafening but also highly predictable 😉

    Do you think Maradona or any Argentinian give a monkeys about what the average England fan think of them ? Maradona put the ball in the net with his hand and I’ve seen plenty of posts on here laughing and celebrating that fact. It’s football I get it . I’m equally old enough to have watched that game and imho he’s the best footballer the world has ever seen and we could’ve played for a month and not beat them. I’m sure Copenhagen is a no go area for Sterling for the foreseeable and they’ll bemoan that soft penalty for years and curse their luck. Welcome to the world of the knockout stages of a major tournament.

    Cheating in football and most team sports has existed since they began. Hacking someone down when through on goal. Stopping a ball on the line with your arm. What happened last night was a defender made contact with a player in the box without getting the ball and the player went down and the ref gave a penalty. It happened years ago and will continue to happen. You call it cheating others call it playing the game. You might not like it but that’s football in 2021 Nicking a wallet is theft and against the law, going down in the penalty box because a defender made contact isn’t. I would totally agree that it was a soft penalty and years ago it would never have been given but in today’s game it can and was given. if you want ethical validity take up chess because it has never existed in the game of football. Granted there are moments when individuals show great sportsmanship and that is to be applauded, but I refer to my previous comment that most on here would be pissing themselves laughing if that penalty was given the other way. Karma is a bitch and we are up against the masters of gamesmanship on Sunday so look forward to Italy returning the favour on us 😉

    Nope not in the slightest 😘 Italy will probably get one on Sunday and if they do I’ll moan about it for 5 minutes and move on. It happens every week and if you got one against us in the group game, most on here would be laughing their arses off. Whether you like it or not there was contact and Sterling went down. It was a ridiculously soft penalty granted. But like I said if it goes your way, you take it. When I see Scotland refuse a soft penalty in a knockout game I’ll cede you the moral high ground 😉
