Weekend Debate - Sat 12th Oct - Int Break

Scotland are flying

San Marino are no pushovers

 

Peps successor will be a manager/coach who has won a load of silverware. You can be sure Of That

 

Huh?

 

that was a piss take when the jocks were still 0-0 with the worlds worst team

 

Yes, 210th

 

Scotland may be many things, but they've never, ever been 1-0 down to the world's worst team in 8.33 seconds. A world record at the time too!

 

And if matches lasted 8.33 seconds maybe you would be going the Euros, but they don't. Same with rugby, if a game lasted 4-5 minutes you might not be on your way home, but they don't and you are.

 

Don't follow rugby. Don't even know the rules. So water off a duck's back. Could be talking tiddlywinks for all I know. Or care.

But 1-0 to the worst team in the world? Wonderful. How do you live with that humiliation? Guess it's easier to live with since Belgium knocked 0.23 seconds off the record against Gibraltar. Oh, wait a minute - that was a great team scoring against a crap team, wasn't it? Not ...

 

It's 90 minites in a game, that's where you are going wrong, you look great for 8.33 seconds but **** from then on. Some teams lose over 90 minutes to Kazakhstan, I didn't know it was a real country, just thought it was a joke country for borak, turns out Scotland was the joke country
Talking of Tiddlewinks, maybe you should take it up, give you something to do during the Euro's next year.

 

Just twigged!

Your coping method for the humiliation is abuse & snooty condescension. No surprise there then!

How typically english. Pity it doesn't work - england's record will be remembered for ever!

Btw, what's a minite & what is their role in football? Is this opportunities for further humiliation?

 

Abuse ? are you a vicar or something.
And as you said yourself, England don't hold any record, but Scotland are still a laughing stock.

 

No, you still hold the record of having the quickest World Cup goal scored against you by the worst-rated team in football.

It's always very, very difficult for the worst-rated teams to score any goals, far less do it so quickly, so your record will most likely last forever.

It may have escaped your notice, but we Scots are well aware of our team's capability. Well aware. It's you english that have the real problem with your team. Behave like petulant children when you lose. Perhaps your drunken louts think rioting will keep the embarrassment of defeat off the front page? Which would sum up just how thick they are!

Btw, we beat the Czechs in Prague when we last played them there in 2016. Not bad for a laughing stock. What does that make england?

 

Ah yes the very same year that England beat scotland 3-0

 

Only in context if england were the worst team in the world! They aren't.

Sadly.

How you doin', matey? Long time. You back in the fold, or is it just a curiosity visit?

 

Always been watching in the back ground, usually read the morning thread, just can't be bothered posting these days. The weather these last few days has meant more time on the laptop.

Hope your recent trip was not spoilt too much by results.

 

In that context, losing 3-0 to us would make you the worst team in the world surely you must be as there is no team we beat so easily.San Marino made a game of it, Scotland didn't.

 

You're making it up again aren't you, it wasn't a world cup game, it was qualifying for the world cup. Another world cup that you and San Marino didn't go to, maybe that's why you made the mistake, you wouldn't know there is a world cup after the qualifiers would you.

 

I think you will find they were 31 places above being the worst team at the time.

 

31 they were probably above Scotland then, as I don't think there are 31 teams worse than them.

 

Glad to hear all is well. You do tend to fear the worst when a poster disappears for a while, given the average age of the contributors.

LOL - trip is just as much about camaraderie & partying as it is about football. Googling the result next day is not as uncommon as you might think! And we don't have high hopes when we Google. This time around, I must have been asked for a photo op at least 200 times, as most were. It's a conservative estimate. We took 90 minutes to walk from the Metro to the ground. It's normally a 10-15 minute amble, but not when you're getting stopped for loads of photo ops. Gets a bit annoying though, as queues start to form the minute you stop. It was the same in Red Square, even though it was chucking it down. Think it's the full regalia they all love. Certainly isn't my looks.
