We didn’t have any issues with the Germans at all and no arrests in Munich with the Scotland fans. The polizei I spoke to said you Scottish fans are the best in the world and we would gladly have you all back here anytime. We’ve all enjoyed the bagpipes and the fans it’s been

Shocking I mean of all keepers to keep and not punt out is Gordon. So if Gunn gets crocked we will play Clark or Kelly? Cause they’ve got so much international experience and clean sheets? I tell you what I’m available for the group stages Stevie, I’ve a pair of predator boots

@chris_sutton73
Totally agree Chris. It was a best, a yellow card but they both equally went for the ball and I didn’t see anything that was deliberate. VAR has really killed football as well as sensible refereeing. Now it’s going to get ugly between both sides. Shocking to watch this.
I shouldn’t be doing this but I am “basquing” in the English sunshine that is descending on this country in mourning. I will leave this parting thought from the pathetic Scots who are apparently so💩 at football… just saying… 🏴🔥💪🏼

What an amazing game, it was hard to choose between the Spain home game and this away game but I think Oslo June 2023 topped it for me. We know how to keep the TA on its toes! One of the best comebacks I think I’ve seen in my time with the TA! 🏴⚽️💙
Who cares about 🏴 why can’t we talk about other games? Sick of hearing about this and only been home 48 hours. Want some German talking about the Euros in general. Energy in that England 🏴 team from Alan Shearer? Garbage football; they’ve had an easy group and it’s been boring.
@BraveheartCH
Pal, Morata should have let it go in but the fact he moved into an offside position and kicked it in meant it was offside. It was always going in and he should have just left it as no Norwegian would have got it. So it was in fact correct and it was Morata in my view who was

OMG - makes me feel even more sick at how we should have made more of our finishing and brought on more talent and fresh legs. Great 2nd goal by Vargas… and yet we managed to keep him out of our own half. Sitting here really going why? How could we have not taken 3 points?
As I said earlier this morning, Shanksy has be in the squad for the Euros! If Stevie Clarke doesn’t see what a lot of us are seeing from this brilliant striker then it’s criminal to leave him out of any squad. We have 4 friendlies between now and the opening game so am really
