Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
3 points. 'Twas two points for a win in the old days ;)

Also sure they were two goals off going through.
4-1 would have seen Scotland through.
It finished 3-2 though.

Is anyone watching this BBC "documentary" about the 1978 global embarassment that is Ally MacLeod and his World Cup team that reached new heights in shaming Scotland?
“Peru, Iran, Scotland, Holland. The initials spelled out what we could expect from our team...pish.”

Only a World Cup Excuse
I remember that the wind up sponsor drink was Barrs IranPeru .
That ‘Italy 90 Only a World Cup Excuse’ was the high water mark for that series. Really superb stuff, well researched, acted and produced. Worlds away from what its television adaptation eventually became.

Great team, Ally whipped it up and everyone loved it.

Only downside was that dick Andy Cameron.

Had the world cup come 12 months earlier I genuinely believe we would have been last 8 definitely.

we had gone over to Argentina on a friendly and played them off the park, they only got a draw thanks to a shocking referee

Drawing with Iran was one of the worst results in Scotland's entire history. That show confirmed previous stories, they did zero research on their opponents, and scraped a point against utter dross, and got pumped by a Peru side that they should be beating with the squad that Scotland had there. Then in classic Scotland fashion, somehow pulled themselves into having a faint chance in the last match, but also effed that up as well. The phrase "glorious failure" seems like it was designed for Scotland.

It's pretty ridiculous that Scotland have never got past the 1st round of a world cup. Scotland had some top players but failure all the time.

Even N Ireland got out of round 1 in a world cup ffs

Scottish Cup Final an evening kick off and promoted Livingston’s intention to lay a plastic pitch for next season means a quarter of the Premiership clubs will have artificial grass.
Well, one is a definite.

THE LATE SHOW SFA chief Ian Maxwell says next year’s Scottish Cup final could take place in the EVENING if there’s potential to cash-in
The former Partick Thistle supremo is hoping to announce a TV deal soon for the competition and admits it could be a later kick-off

"Difficult to argue with " the synthetic pitches ??? It really isn't.

And I wonder if he actually talked about the clubs in the order quoted in that piece :ponder:

Remember the time Lawwell was quoted as referring to "Rangers and Celtic".....

4-1 would have put them through, aye.

But it ended up 3-2 so in the end up they were more than a goal away from going through
Not if the extra goal had come against Iran.

All of his quotes read like they were written by a Scottish sports hack.

The “listen, ...” patter; sentences that begin “I’ll be honest with you...”.

It comes across as a Barry Ferguson or Kris Boyd piece, or a Jackson or McGowan opinion article, where it’s clearly a journalist writing in that annoying as eff conversational mode they seem to think sounds good.

Unless the Cup Final is going to be on a different day to the English one, then where's the commercial interest in having it in the evening? Unless its going to be 7.45, no broadcaster is going to put it up against the English Cup final especially when there's no other games that day. Its effing daft.

I saw a guy wearing that very top in my local baker yesterday.

Was instantly transported back to the inside of a shampooey caravan (which constantly smelled of fried, fatty bacon. Boak.) on a miserable wet day while watching the Iran 1-1 debacle on a tiny B&W portable TV.

Such was the trauma that I can't even remember WHERE we were on holiday at the time. Somewhere in Englandland, I think.

Noticed we did not have 1 player in the squad...before my time but were we THAT bad we had 0 player(s) in the squad?

NB - Know the huns won the treble that year was it close or where they far and away better than us and a other teams?

It usually coincides with the CL Final - so a 7.45 slot would pit the Scottish Cup Final against the biggest day of the biggest footballing even outside of the World Cup :lol:


Sounds like a classic SFA move

Joe Craig
Tom McAdam
Johnny Doyle
Roy Aitken
John Dowie
Tommy Burns

A selection of players from our team that year. Very much transitional. Huns did little after til Sourness.
Aitken and Burns were probably too young. Also have to remember Scottish players were mainstays in league and European Cup winning English teams at that time.

They are on different days now. UEFA insist that the CL final is the only game that day, its why the Scottish Cup final was a Sunday a few years back.
