Just watched “The Best of Saint and Greavsie” on ITV 4.
Hilarious part when after slagging off Scottish goalkeepers, they sent a camera crew to the Scotland training camp to interview the keepers, including Jim Leighton.

Jim Leighton was a good keeper. Had one really awful game for United in the 1990 cup final v Palace, and Fergie fucked him off. United won the replay with Les Sealey in goal.  Destroyed him mentally. He refused to accept a winner's medal, and only ever played one more game for Utd. 

over 90 caps for Scotland. 

He had been Fergie's first choice at Aberdeen, won the league twice, 4 Scottish Fa Cups, the European Cup Winners Cup... SAF was fucking ruthless. 

Leighton came back to Aberdeen though, and did well before he retired. Dons hero.

Right goal

Hungary look wank. I’ve backed a draw, no chance.

When will commentators get it that we’re not interested in a running commentary of their Wikipedia knowledge.

It seems to get worse.

Maybe the TV companies should have a poll? The John Helms of yesteryear, or these pillocks today?

I suspect it was Motson who started this nonsense.

One and a half matches in and I’ve muted the twats. Just pointless waffle and little in jokes.

Absolute vile set of white supremacists for fans. Hopefully they crash out with zero points

[terriersyndrome]

Game on now

[ldr]

Bloody hell, Hungary have brought on a right unit up top!

[Christ in Shades (art)]

Both these teams ball and game management is shocking. Hungary are chasing yhe game yet constantly giving free kicks away taking the pressure off Switzerland. Switzerland lobbing corners in the dying embers....oh shit they've scored again.

Imagine being Scottish

It’s not been great for this one this week ! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ☹️ 

(Wednesday) - In Glasgow ROBBED of £85 for the new Scotland top...

(Thursday) - Back home on one of the worst ferry journeys ever - everybody spewing everywhere and me in the end as well... 🤮 

(Friday) - The least said the better me thinks... 😉 

(Saturday) - The actual hangover from hell - and a 5-1 thumping to go with a thumping headache and stomach...

(Sunday) - I’ll inevitably meet Lewis the Leeds fan from next door, Stan the Newcastle fan across the fence and Gary the Newcastle fan across the street - all very fine English lads and they’ll rightly give me ma slagging and I’ll take ma medicine in good spirit - talking of which I need a curer now... 😊 

Aah well then - Good Old Bonnie Scotland eh - Ach well it’s not too bad, at least we’ve still got the dear auld whisky !!! 🥃 🥃 👍

Like the big No9 Hungry have brought on. Exactly the type of player town have been lacking for a long time

Another quick VAR decision. That's how to use it.

Semi automatic offside system is much better .

It didn’t do Gunn much good last night as Germany Rifled Bullet after Bullet past him ! 😉

[Scott Chegg]

Karen Carney's voice is like nails down a blackboard.

Had to switch over.

Very apt - As it was Goodnight Vienna very rapidly for Scotland last night ! 😬

He looks about 50 years younger. Modric must have had a tough paper round

[joeyjoneslocker]

This is equally as boring as watching Man City

[joeyjoneslocker]

Brilliant goal.
Was boring for 20 minutes 😀

Wonder if Westie is feeling a bit better now

Bit of drama in Spain v Croatia, clear pen in front of a gaping net, but no red card... then Croatia miss the pen, sore on the follow up, then have the goal ruled out due to encroachment.

VAR working as it should, and much quicker than in the PL.

It’s Stuart Atwell thought on VAR so no wonder there were errors

Went down easily really but then surely a red card if the penalty is given ?

Didn't think the "double jeopardy" rule was in play, but maybe it is. He went down easy and the keeper was covering well, but surely the keeper doesn't count when deciding if the defender was the "last man"?

3-0 and it's the lowest scoring game so far. Italy play Albania later though, that's nailed on as a 1-0 to the Azzuri...

Yes thanks utttrooper ! - Headed up to the local shop for another bottle of Whyte & Mackay there, met Lewis, he was very sporting about our pasting and wished us luck for the rest of the tournament...

We shall of course bloody well need it - And in spades at that for sure...

Just sitting with a dram and a can of Lager now, had planned quiet night but think I’ll take a dander up the road to the pub later to see what’s going on - 

It wont be anything Scotland tonight for sure...

But it will most definitely be Huddersfield Town attire for sure ! 🥃 🍺 👍

Not sure .

Trouble is we won’t know what was said so in the dark .

Spain were very clinical though and good on the break .

Agree about tonight .

2-0.

Yes good start, 13 goals from 3 games. After our season, and the other stuff, thought I had lost a bit of interest. But...here I am....last of the 3 for the day. Like the ITV pundits btw. Wright, Neville, Keane.

Rodri is like Fernandinho used to be. He can make a handful of cynical fouls before a referee even thinks about booking him yet someone like Xhaka gets booked for their first. It's strange how referees end up subconsciously treating players differently

Not sure it was a red card but it seems daft that you're about to tap the ball in to an empty net and 2 mins later you're still without a goal. Perhaps a yellow card and a penalty goal is the best outcome in those situations but I doubt we'd ever see that introduced

Does my head in.

[Million Dollar Babies]

This is a pretty average Italian side. No chance they can win it again but Southgate would still shit his pants against them

[ilsonterrier]

What a start

[westislandterrier]

Bloody Hell - What a start for Albania !!! 😊 👍
