Scotland vs Czechia 14th June 2021

Lyndon fucking Dykes

 

[Sprocket.]

Scotland’s exuberance and desire to score has made this difficult for them to bounce back.

 

[Badgers]

Robbo on the cross/corner is excellent

 

[Sprocket.]

I’ve noticed many of the team appear to be one footed.

 

[campanula]

all these chances falling to the wrong man

Whole goal to aim at

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I think Scotland are a bit lacking in the 'right man' department to be honest.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Gemmill-esque!

 

[JimW]

No luck either

 

[Lord Camomile]

It's been a decent game in terms of action, and it's a shame for Scotland as it's not like they've failed to create chances. I guess that's just a different kind of problem, though.

 

[Sprocket.]

Andy Robertson is a quality player. Top man for Scotland. He reminds me of Terry Cooper.

Yes, lots of chances, but unable to put the ball in the net.

(We need an 'exasperated' smilie.)

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fucking hell... I really don't think that performance deserved boos at the final whistle.

First appearance at a tournament for 23 years, created a lot of chances, just failed to take them and were a bit shaky in defence at times.

Don't boo that! How's that going to help??

 

[Badgers]

Gutting

Played hard but lacked the end product. Some bad luck but the Czechs took their chances.

Robertson would be first on the team sheet for any country in this tournament.

 

[weepiper]

Well, fuck.

 

[Rebelda]

Ach but don't boo your team.

Very entertaining game to watch as a neutral but must have been awful for anyone backing Scotland. Some lovely play into the box but nothing doing.

 

[starfish]

Frustrated more than anything else. Had enough chances but lost a couple of sloppy goals.

They might have been booing the ref or the Czechs. At least i hope they were.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I feel like they're maybe expecting a bit much of Henry to know that he shouldn't take a shot because it will ricochet off a defender, to an opposition player who will then score from 50 yards.

It's not quite "passing it across your own goal" in terms of fundamentals.

 

[Athos]

On today's performance, England ought to beat both those sides, very comfortably. #famouslastwords

Why would they boo either the ref or the Czechs?

I was sat there thinking, they'll beat us won't they

 

[Athos]

One thing's for sure, they'll be up for it, especially after today's result.

 

[Rebelda]

Why. Why would you say that? No. Shush

 

[starfish]

Why would they boo either the ref or the Czechs?

Because it would make more sense than booing your own team, considering we actually played pretty well.

 

[brogdale]

Probably not part of the visualisation preparation they'd undergone.

Where was VAR? That ball's clearly not over the line.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Pougatch claiming the second goal in the "top 10 of Euro goals".

I strongly disagree.

 

[Athos]

Because it would make more sense than booing your own team, considering we actually played pretty well.

I suspect some of those there felt differently. And I've not known a crowd boo an opposition team or ref for no reason. It did sound very much like they were booing their own team.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Because it would make more sense than booing your own team, considering we actually played pretty well.

In one sense it might, but how common is it to actually boo the opposition team at the end of a match? And what of the ref's actions/decisions would they have been booing?
