The let’s all laugh at the Jocks thread.

Personally, I'd rather that Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland did well in competitions so, unless they are playing England, wish them well.

As for Scotland, I think that they were unlucky tonight as that certainly looked like a penalty but then again they didn't create enough chances in the game and Hungary were always pushing.

The fact is that Scotland simply lack the quality to progress far in these competitions. It's no good having a handful of half decent players in international games, you need the whole team to be of a standard. ( Mind you, even that's no good if your manager can't get them performing...)

What is the point of having VAR if it isn’t used? As with the majority, to my mind it was a stonewall penalty and should have at least been referred to VAR. Extremely poor refereeing in my opinion. It doesn’t matter how poor or how good Scotland were, they would have almost certainly won the game if the penalty had been awarded.

Same here Omeg, always support the home nations unless they are playing England. In the Olympics, we are Great Britain and Northern Ireland, so the mentality is different from football as we all cheer on the GB and NI athletes.

It is the footballing mindset that differs I suspect.


As for the penalty that wasn’t. As Leicester says what a poor decision and why no VAR! I thought VAR had to look at anything in the penalty area. Absolutely crazy.

Goodbye Bravetarts No Scotland lets party.

Totally agree with you OB, I support all of the home nations. Most families have some relation who is either from Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Mind you, the same applies to them, they should also support England.
