What a game that was, a few dodgy decisions by the ref but a cracking fourth goal from half way line over Caspers swede.
-
Genuinely pleased for Scotland, fully deserved!
-
Yep, some great scenes up there, well done to them.
-
Great game.
-
Great game. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
-
Cracking game loved it. Obviously hope England win the thing next year but great for the family and delighted my 95 year old grandfather particularly and the rest of the family gets to see them in a world cup again.
-
I was a bit late home tonight and was looking through the scores so decided to watch the last five minutes of the game.
Incredible end to it.
-
A Villa night.
-
I’m in Edinburgh staying at the Caledonian Hotel.
Just enjoyed the last 5 minutes of the game with the hotel staff in the lobby.
The Concierge jumped up and down and gave me a massive hug when that 4th goal went in.
An American lady guest looked very perplexed - she was trying to ask the Concierge what the postcode of the hotel was!
F**k of you silly cow!
-
f**k Scotland!
Jesus, next it'll be you lot wishing Rotherham well in a play off final.
Utter woke nonsense.
-
“Woke nonsense”?
What does that even mean?
It’s a great night for our inferior neighbours, cut them some slack you bitter old sod.
;)

No, I'm not down with this love in for one of fiercest International rivals.

“Fiercest international rivals”?!
Are you having a laugh?

Being half scottish im extremely happy for them, obviously i want England to win when they play them but in the off chance we go out and they go further ill support them.

It was a very good game and pleased for my Scottish mates (as pleased as they’d be for me if it was England!), but how aggrieved must the Dane’s feel. Well on top for most of the game and dominating and 1-1 when they got the red (2nd yellow) card. Never a yellow, not even a foul imho, but good luck to scotland & hope they’re in England’s group for an easy 3 points! :coat:

Serves them right for time wasting..

Don’t forget Donny is still the most southerly Scottish city.

Soft second yellow but the penalty was outside the box for me. Justice, you could say.

Yes one of our fiercest rivals, how are they not? You never heard of "The auld enemy"?
They absolutely hate us, they'd be pissing themselves if we didnt qualify.
I hope they get smashed 5 nil by Iraq.

That's fair enough Fal, you have the misfortune of being half Scottish so I get that you'll be pleased.
It's all these other soft English, half n half scarf wearers that I dont get.
-
They were dominated by a 10 man Denmark, I’m with Nudga, f**k em, even their anthem is about a battle against the English, they hate us with a passion
And the first goal was scored by an Englishman
-
Born in Scotland, so happy for them, but the Danes were all over them. Being in Hounslow, nice to see two Brentford players on the pitch.

I live in Edinburgh and that is absolutely true. Friends, family, workmates aren’t able to contain their glee when we lose. I was looking forward to giving it back today when Denmark looked like they were back in it!
I’m pleased they’ve qualified, though. Means a lot to a lot of people that I know and what an incredible way to do it. They’ll have to improve massively to even compete at the World Cup, though - they’ve been rubbish for the entire qualifying campaign and it’s taken a lot of luck and moments of individual brilliance to get them there. That’s not going to run on forever, particularly against the better teams.
I’ll also be very pleased if they lose to Cape Verde or Uzbekistan.
-
Denmark absolutely outplayed them for the majority of the game, which seemed to be a result of them sitting back trying to defend the early goal lead. I couldn’t understand.
There were some terrible decisions by a World Cup final ref, so what chance doe we have in the lower leagues! It didn’t look like a foul which lead to the sending off.
However what a great watch for a neutral, the 3rd goal was absolutely superb and the last 10 mins or so plus injury time was just crazy.
I can understand some people’s comments regarding not being happy for Scotland, which I would not make, I just enjoyed the game.
However some of my best friends are Scottish, and have many friends/ex work colleagues from spending a lot of time working in my old employers Scottish office, and therefore feel confident to say that the majority of Scot’s hate our English team and do not support us when we play!
-
They do hate us Nudga and it isn't just a superficial sporting rivalry hatred.
-
They are going to be on par with the Welsh now, aren’t they? Northern Ireland much more bearable but those two are off the scale. Could Scotland match the Welsh humiliation in Qatar? It’s possible.
-
Robertson's foot was plainly on the line so no argument that is part of the area and the reason the penalty was given.
Glad they have reached the finals, but on that performance I don't think they will bother the main contenders, England included.
What is becoming obvious with the home countries as a whole doing ok in qualifying, if they have a good number of Premiership players in the team they have a good chance of doing well.

Where the JIT JOCKS whooping and hollowing for England ever? They will not get out of their group next year.
-

They wish.
-
Couldn't help thoroughly enjoying the drama, seeing the jocks both suffer and celebrate.
As much as the noisy neighbours will give it large for the next few months, I do wonder if we'll get drawn in the same group or half of the draw. I think we'd be the more nervous.
-
Scott McTominay, what a fantastic piece of skill & technique to score that first goal.
Man Utd want shooting for allowing him to leave, but credit due to him to make a name for himself in Europe since joining Napoli.
Glad to see ANY of the ‘home nation teams’ qualify for major tournaments. I’d include the Republic in there too.
I love Scotch eggs.

I used to work with a great Welsh lad who described Irish and Scots as like Welsh men but with no brains.

Englishmen and Scots are natural enemies. Like Welshmen and Scots. Or Japanese and Scots. Or Scots and other Scots!

Curacao, Cape Verde, Haiti, Scotland. Almost as if the yanks want a bootload of goals at 'their' world cup.

Yep. Two years of European qualifiers just to get rid of San Marino, Lichtenstein, Andorra, Cyprus and Gibraltar. The Faroe Islands only just missed out. Everyone else is off to the finals. It’s a farce.
-
Give it another 12 years & the ‘Cooke Islands’ will be qualifying.
-
It totally debases the tournament doesn’t it.
-
Cape Verde qualified through African groups, so well done to them!
Curacao and Haiti are in the North America, Central America and Caribbean group, helped by Mexico and the USA being hosts, so understandable. But, why are Suriname in that group, they are in South America!!
-
Not a Scotland fan by any stretch but that was magical! As a football fan brings back, Stoke, Wembley, Brentford, marvellous isn’t it! jumpers for goal posts.

No, I'm not down with this love in for one of fiercest International rivals.
This. I'd much rather hear this than some of the patronising "I'm pleased for them" stuff. How do we feel when the likes of the Sheffield clubs, Leeds and even Rotherham and Barnsley don't think we're rivals when playing in the same division and are pleased for us when we get promoted, etc. Like it or not it's the oldest international match and just because one of the sides is way better than the other doesn't mean it isn't a rivalry.
As a Scot it felt very much like Brentford. Was pretty sure we'd **** it up as we always do and we looked terrible for most of the game against a decent Denmark team. The ref was shocking all game for both sides, not just for the penalty and sending off. The release of tension with that ending was the same as Coppinger scoring.
I've already had half a dozen comments/messages with the "three and done" and "you'll never make it out of the group" from friends and colleagues. And they're probably right and we'll probably get stuffed by Iraq... but much like following Donny it's about what your expectations are. Rovers never winning the premier league or FA Cup doesn't diminish our support or pride in their more limited achievements.

I've missed you Ríos. Either I have selective blindness ref your posts,or you've been absent a pretty long while. Whichever, I'm glad you are there now.

Don't worry Filo,Nudga,they will do a Wales,be all singing,dancing and bragging,our news media will be having a lovin with them for months, doing cringeworthy fans interviews with locals who have never been to a football match,spending thousands on their country world cup souvenirs cheap tat,only for them to go out in a whimper after only the first 2 group games.Looking forward to it,just need Trump to Tee off pre-match with his St Andrews clubs on the pitch before their first game,to put the cherry on the top,as others says,they hate us with a passion,so only right they get it back,Karma.

They have only ever won 4 games at the World Cup in their entire history, and one of those was against Zaire, a country that no longer exists. In more recent history across their last three tournaments (1986, 1990 and 1998) they have won a single game. Form could change come the summer but on past form it will be another humiliation for them.
