So er, apparently Scotland fans are the 'antidote to the ills of world football'.

Jesus wept <laugh>
Headline is sickening stuff for sure!

Just watched the highlights and it seemed to me as if they were somewhat fortunate to beat one of the worst teams to ever reach a World Cup. Obviously hard to tell without seeing the full game but you'd have thought both will struggle against Brazil and Morocco, both who looked very dangerous at points last night.

It looked onside to me anyway before these images were released. What on earth would FIFA have to gain by doctoring the images or covering up the truth? On field decision was onside was it not? So the absolute worst case scenario would be the technology failing and due to how tight it is they go with the on field decision. There is no reason to doctor images or lie. FIFA should have released the images sooner though to quash these ridiculous conspiracy theories.
Yep if this the same Fifa known for their outstanding integrity, step forward Me Blatter

Is this how Scotland fans typically feel about the Beeb's coverage of England? Because I finally get it. Jeez.

It was always the case that England got more coverage simply because they qualified for tournaments, I remember the BBC going absolutely apeshit when Wales made the Semi Finals of the Euros (rightly so).

The fact that some couldn't understand that just shows the effort some people will make to be bitter.

Now they have made a World Cup, hey presto they get the same coverage.
