Tryhard Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Good tale, Parrhesia lad. That is certainly a dive if I hadn't seen one, though. The only thing I have to bring is a tale of overall woe and misery. So it's the 2010 World Cup Qualifiers and Scotland are placed in a group with the Netherlands, Macedonia, Iceland and Norway. Netherlands understandibly dominate, but there is a second playoff place that Norway and Scotland are looking for. Overall, despite being gash, the other teams were gash enough for us to have a chance to really take it if we can beat Norway. It's 0-0 and honestly was quite a boring game to my recollection, but Iwelumo had a chance to take the lead and really go gunning for a possible playoff spot. Cue this, notice the linesman even thought he scored: The scottish commentary on the second run still cracks me up. "Yer havin a laff!" The game ended 0-0. Iwelumo has kind of been our pantomime villain for not qualifying for that world cup and we haven't qualified since 1998. Norway finished on the same points as us but higher goal difference, taking the second place. In 1954, the SFA only sent 13 players to the finals, even though FIFA allowed 22 man squads. Scotland lost 1–0 against Austria in their first game in the finals. This prompted the team manager Andy Beattie to resign hours before the game against Uruguay. Where we got humped 7-0. We had some success in 1974 getting a win against Zaire (now Congo) and a draw with Brazil and Yugoslavia and went out on goal difference. We have been in 8 group stages and been eliminated without reaching past that, the highest number in World Cup history. Perhaps our closest was in the 1990 World Cup: 0:36 in this video. #FootballisDeadHere (the Tartan Army will probably have a drink with you though) Edited June 9, 2014 by Tryhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryhard Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Great documentary on the Escobar murder of 1994, and the background to it. I always wondered the real reason about the murder of Escobar. RIP. At least I'll probably be around for most of the games, I *might* be able to catch all of them though I may skip some of the ones I think will be more boring cough greece Edited June 12, 2014 by Tryhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Third goal is probably for the best. Brazil deserved the second even if they only got it through Fred falling over and Neymar with the dumbest penalty ever. Fair result, shame about the fact that neymar Edited June 12, 2014 by Parrhesia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryhard Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I have to admit neymar is a cunt even if he is a cunt that's good. looks like I'm wrong with it ending 3-1 but that penalty was a sham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
