microdave Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 After someone mentioned the 1970 world cup final in the covid thread I looked it up this morning. Safe to say football has changed a lot since then. Some of the shots, corners and balls just hoofed out of play were comical.Unpopular opinions thread for this probably but today's teams would destroy them.The teams from that era would hammer teams from the 1920's just as much as today's teams would hammer the 1970's lot. Basic evolution of football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Watched the Sevco v Hibs 2016 cup final earlier. It never gets old hearing Andy Walker and that other commentator c**t (forgotten his name) trying to mask disappointment at Rangers getting beaten. You’d never think Walker had played for Celtic to listen to him. Anyway, to be fair to Hibs fans, the rendition of Sunshine on Leith at the end was really quite lovely to watch.

DA Baracus Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Darren Fletcher was very underrated for Scotland. He was always calm on the ball and got his head up to make a pass. He had to launch it sometimes because there was no other option but he only ever did that as the last resort. He didn't panic and seemed to know where players were, or where they should be. He kept us possession at vital times and kept the ball moving. Watching that game against France earlier he easily held his own against some outstanding midfielders. He always wanted the ball when it was on and never hid from it. He made a few absolutely outstanding passes, but most of all was utterly composed and calmed things down for us often and radiated that composure around. We could do with a player like him now. We could do with that team now. Quality in defence, midfield and up front. Great strip too. Edited March 21, 2020 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a lot of stick but Fletcher was one of my favourite players for Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Watched the 1986 QF - it’s remarkable that England had even the slightest grievance given that they played like a gang of absolute huddies. Glenn Hoddle was hilariously bad from start to finish - not just giving the ball away for the second goal. If he’s regarded as the ‘cultured midfielder’ of English football in the 1980s then the standard was objectively honking.

Maradona's first goal was the equivalent of removing all the stickers and putting them back on to suit, but his second was some wee mad Russian schoolkid of the 80s who completed it in 70 seconds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think either of them sounded too disappointed tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say I’d regard him as leaning towards either of the Arse-Cheeks more than the other. He panders to them collectively. And as if watching Scotland on Sky wasn’t bad enough , him and Provan together make the experience even more miserable.

TheScarf Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Watched the The Caley v Falkirk cup final there. First time I've watched the full match back despite still having it recorded on my Sky Q box from 5 years ago. Falkirk completely reinvented the shoot on site tactic thay day didn't they? I stopped counting after they had their 200th shot of the match about the hour mark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
