What part are you referring to - him not knowing we needed another goal till midway thru the second half? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, everyone knew what was required albeit it was very unlikely. It was all over the media leading up to it that we needed a huge favour from our rivals. I can only assume hes getting confused with another fixture, there is no way our management team dont know to check goal difference if you finish level on points with another team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Him saying we thought we just needed a win was definitely seemed weird to me. The table going into the game was: England 4pts +2 Netherlands 4pts +2 Switzerland 1pt -2 Scotland 1pt -2 It was always going to come down to goal difference if we won, and we were always going to require a 4 or 5 goal swing over the Netherlands.

vic kasule Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I think he’s not explaining it fully. England were 4 up and Scotland were heading through as long as results stayed the same. England conceded in about the 80th minute, at which point we needed another goal. Either for us, or for England. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Craig Brown often gets stats wrong these days. I remember he was on Off The Ball a while ago where he defended Scotland losing to Georgia because Georgia "is a country of 35 million people." Georgia's population is 3.5 million... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until Kluivert scored, we were through.Anyway, Broon is old enough now to be forgiven for forgetting the odd fact! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was head to head as the first tie-breaker if points were equal so we needed England to win. A win for the Netherlands would've meant that England finished above us because they'd beaten us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Craig Brown got a bit of a rep for Scotland being quite negative and defensive but watching these Euro 96 games back again, Scotland carved out some right good chances against real quality sides. Tom Boyd was quite under rated as a full back I've noticed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 McCoist should've had a hat trick in the first half, rendering Kluivert's goal immaterial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just McCoist to be fair. Burley, Collins, Durie, Booth all missed good chances. And Pascolo's first save from McCoist in the first half was incredible. He should have scored the second one though. He scored with probably his hardest chance. It was a really good performance and if we'd won 4-0 it would have been fair enough. That said, Goram had a great save in the second half to keep us in front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got your tin hat on ? I thought Tom Boyd was pretty good in one of Scotland s better defences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people forget how good Goram was, he was feckin wonderful, and genuinely one of the world's best keepers for a good few years. Carried Rangers almost to the CL final too, top, top, top keeper. Got to be the best we've ever had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure this was when Kazakhstan beat us 3-0. Nevertheless, the population argument is always a feeble excuse/reason for defeat or failure imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
