Looked to me like he just fell over. 50-50 and he lost out. I'm not sure the Hungarian player was taken out be Gunn. It seemed to happen behind where Gunn punched the ball, but we didn't get many replays. Hopefully he's okay, it could be nasty. I think Gunn and Varga collided body to head, assisted by a nudge from a Scottish defender,,,, that's what I saw anyway. And yes, hope he's OK 👍 Hungary have switched on now,,,, final 6+ minutes.

chrisjpainter Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Well. That's that. If you only register 5 shots in 100 mins of football, you don't deserve to go through. They desperately needed a goal scorer - and more than just Scott McTominay feeding the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 Also, if you don't play well, in fact play poorly, back home early ! One team wanted it more than the other 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minky Posted June 23 Author Report Share Posted June 23 All over now. Scotland out. Hungary might not even get to the point of another match in the play offs. England need to pull out the stops and stop negative play or else we'll be in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redial Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 (edited) Interesting to hear Harry Kane saying it’s “tough” playing for England. I bet, having to rough it in those hotels and restaurants, planes, coaches and getting paid for doing so. It’s a lot tougher being on minimum wages and making your way to work on a winter’s morning at 05:30hrs. Edited June 24 by redial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted June 24 Author Report Share Posted June 24 It's a shame for the see you jimmy brigade crest fallen again. Still they had a holiday abroad away from the rain and the cold,,, well for some of the time. What gets me is the total belief that having a load of bagpipe players pulsing out some racket and getting tanked up on the beer is somehow going to translate into goals. There was somewhere in Scotland where there was a big screen and whilst the game was on was a hot bed of jimmies belting out Flower of Scotland and abuse directed at England,,, but after the end of the match the place was empty within a couple of minutes. It never came into their minds that they might lose. Oh well they tried. I suppose that there will have to be a lot of brainstorming to reset and look to go again. there were loads of excuses as to the reason for the poor performances. Ranging from lack of talent available to pick from. Poor facilities. Its bad weather for 8+ months of the year to its all down to the English. Sasenach fellows. There was a chart of how many Scottish players there use to be in the English Premier league as opposed to how many now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of sour grapes it sounds like to me 😆 There is no doubt a few good scottish players in the premiership, but put them all in a Scottish shirt and they seem to lose their minimal talents, hence looking pretty clueless in this tournament. There head coach/manager appears to have no conviction during his interviews, in fact he looks and sounds like he doesn't want to be in that position 🤔 Hey ho,,,, at least their travelling supporters had a great time, while it lasted 🥳🍻🍺🍺🍻🍺🍻🍻🍺🍻🍻🍺🥳 Edited June 24 by JKD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minky Posted June 24 Author Report Share Posted June 24 Still we (the English) are on stage tomorrow. AND they have to get stuck in straight away and kill. There can be no excuse for lack of performance or power. No excuse of the players look tired or anything. GERMANY PLAY TO WIN and so do the other top teams. Anything less than a top performance isn't acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 I tell you what, if England had the work rate of this Croatia side, we'd be unbeatable. Not the most skilful, but they chase everything, throw a foot at everything dive in to everything. It's so impressive to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Scotland don't seem to have the class players they had in the past:- Joe Jordan, Danny McGrain, Billy Bremner, Dennis Law, Steve Archibold, Archie Gemmill, Jimmy Johnstone, Gordon Strachan, Gary McAllister, Kenny Dalglish, John Robertson, Ally McCoist, Billy McNeill, Graeme Souness, Gordon McQueen, Alan Hansen and Eddy Gray to name a few. I can't think of one player on that list who wouldn't walk into the current English side. Sadly, I think Andy Robertson is the only current player who would make the cut.

This is why I hope they stick with Steve Clarke. He can't fashion a striker out of thin air. They've competed well enough against better opposition for 12 months, but no one's put the the ball in the back of the net regularly enough. McTominay's had a great tournament - probably better than Andy Robertson, whose delivery was awful vs Hungary - but he can't be an extra central defender, a holding midfielder, a distributer from deep and appear at the telling moment to score a goal whilst also providing the assist all at the same time! They need more attacking threat and that's down to the players and the domestic setup, not the national coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
