Euro '16

[Slaninar]

:evil  When's Scotland's opening game?  :pokefun

Lol.


I can say only the best praise for Scotland's fans when they played Serbia in my city. It was winter, they cleaned the pitch off snow so the match doesn't get postponed, cheered very well, and went on to party, without violence and ruining anything after the match. Just loads of good positive energy.

Yes about that snow clearance..really must send the Bill

That was settled during the match - our team stopped after 2 goals. 

[mtread]

To be fair, the Scots don't get to play international football very often, so it was probably a treat for them. And clearing snow before the game can start is the norm for home games

well good luck with the football tomz England fans,  as you are playing the greatest nation yet.    all abuse welcome as I am a rugby fan,  also watch out for them Russians  :evil

[Frosties]

:agree

It might be the wake up call the game needs to get some respect into the game. You only have to watch a premiership game on the TV and you will see how spoilt the players are thinking they can get away with anything on the pitch. This cascades down to the supporters and we get the mayhem.

IIRC, years ago, it was a gentleman's game and the players were well behaved on the pitch.

BB, it was and still is.............it's called Rugby  :pokefun

[BIG MAC]

Scotland seems to be in the process of putting a Rugby Team together. Give Strachan a couple more years and with the split hooves back in the top flight...reasonable to assume that the footie will follow.

[BBROWN1664]

Frosties - by years ago I meant the early 50's from what I recall seeing on the TV. Rugby has always been a thugs game played by gentlemen who respect the ref and the fans behave.

[celticdog]

Decent match today, Hodgson's plan worked. Bringing on Sturridge and Vardy made all the difference. England and Wales at top of the table, it's entirely possible that they both can go through  :thumbup

[taylor]

I am welsh and we are shit, but we gave them a run for there money  for a country with 60 million to choose from against less than 2 mill.  they done well.    good show England,.

[BIG MAC]

Bit like the Wenglanders playing England wasn't it?

[taylor]

the bath rugby team has 12 welsh players,.

if we vote brexit on the 23rd we won't be in any further european tournemounts anyway so our opening games this year won't matter....

Not quite, we're voting to be out of the EU, not Europe. (ffs)

i didn't think anyone was going to rise to it....

[Slaninar]

Was happy for Ireland last night - they deserved a goal!

[mtread]

Scotsman walks into a pub. There should be an Englishman, a Welshman, an Irishman and an Ulsterman there...... but they're all off watching the Euros

[YamFazFan]

I'm no expert on football, but after watching the England V Iceland game last night....why doesn't every team have a player trained to do really long throw-ins? :rolleyes

Now you can change that to....
A Scotsman, Englishman, Irishman and an Ulsterman were in a pub, there should of been a Welshman but he WAS STILL AT the Euros
