Did he blame Pogba for Robertson having a stinker
The gulf between the two teams was as big as I have seen at a finals. Scotland were so bad, it's difficult to tell if the Germans are really that good.
Nah, you’ll find some delighted guy that’ll have opened up his own niche deep fried bratwurst stall making an absolute mint.
He also sells deep fried steins.
The point was that they'd have individuals you'd likely say the same about on paper. It was just a bad game but they clearly should be at this level because they you know...got there...on merit due to a strong qualifying campaign.
The last time it happened we won the WCThere may have been a free kick early in the second half... not sure right now
McTominay continuing his great form from this season. 12 passes tonight.
He is truly terrible at this level
He’s Scotland’s top scorer in the qualis with 7 goals.
The Scots have already started rioting. Police sirens blaring.
Aye. I agree with the wee lad’s sentiment. I love the fact that it was in Dunfermline and that the reporter apologised for the profanity. It’s like the BBC guy apologising for some bloke chanting “feck the Tories”.
I’m quite concerned by the amount of sirens suddenly going off
I've always thought of setting up a deep fried whisky stall in Glasgow. If you freeze the whisky using liquid nitrogen I reckon you might be able to successfully deep fry it into bite sized nuggets.
Since the Del Bosque Spain team, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a singular international performance as complete as the one Germany just put in. Absolute perfection from the first second to the literal last as that’s when they scored their last goal. Scotland aren’t a great side but they’ve got a lot of desire and have given England and Spain trouble in recent years. Germany just brushed them aside.
Euro 2000 (Kinda, Dutch did great)
Euro 2008 (both hosts)
Euro 2012 (both hosts although Ukraine started well)
World Cup 2010-Ghana I guess became the continental representative
World Cup 2022 Qatar
Hilarious that Tierney celebrating a throw in after 3 mins
fecking hell, Souness has lost his head after one game 
Comparing population sizes and everyone is stood there in silence.

Like the Scots say, you've got to be in it to bin it.
Not sure I agree with that. England beat them quite comfortably last year in Scotland.
I believe that's called 'doing the Paqueta'.
There were some positives to take for Scotland.
For example at the end of the game, the game stopped carrying on anymore

It’s been nice not having him on Sky, adds absolutely no insight at all. We’re about to watch Croatia play Spain tomorrow, let’s see how bothered he is about population size when analysing that game.
I've seen Buckfast churros (in Irn Bru sauce) so it could be possible with whiskey.
I got a giggle out of that, I must admit.
Keane
He doesn't like Robertson at all does he
Well, Robertson is a monumental wankbag.
Another positive is that, despite everything, that still isn't the worst performance I've seen from a Scotland team in a major competition.
Germany looked very good, hard to judge them fully though because Scotland were woeful.
Musiala is some player though, I do know that much.

Playing him as false 9 wouldn't be the worst shout really.
Scotland just hit endless long balls for Che Adams to be outjumped comfortably by Rudiger and Tah.
If that tactic isn't going to change much better to have McTominay up there as he might win a few flick ons for McGinn and Christie to run onto.
Oh feck yeah, l went and watched the Spain game in a bar in Denver. There was about 40 Spanish fans right beside me, they seemed to enjoy it.
Some American guy came in shouting "hey, Where's Messi? Where's Messi?" He bought them all a drink when they finally got it through that Messi was from Argentina and Barcelona are a club in Spain.
Probably one of the most miserable games of football I've ever experienced.
Which is not the same level. Top teams play very differently on the actual tournament. And we are discussing his midfielding abilities.
Yeah thats the one. 12 years ago today ironically according to RTE. At least we scored against Croatia, against Spain Im not even sure we touched the ball other than kicking off.
Chasing shadows. It was an absolute horror show. The worst of Trapattoni
Would have been a much better idea. Adams won a single header all night that was then mopped up instantly by the other defender because he was so isolated.
Locking Kroos in the locker room would have been a good alternative as well.
Kroos : 101/102 passes
Scored a cracker of a goal.
Fullkrug at United wouldn’t be a bad move IMO. Rasmus is the future but Fullkrug is a more than adequate backup.
Germany have strong players everywhere. Can't see England being better than them. They might be better than France too.
I said Germany were good at work and git laughed down. Scotland were obviously dreadful but it was clear to me that Germany are a good side despite that. They absolutely bummed them tonight and looked like they had a fair amount of quality all across the park.
