That was the same night England equalised late against Romania then conceded again even later, provoking incredible scenes in the Saint Etienne fanzone. And as well as that and buying the ticket I also bumped into Alloa legend Keith McCulloch in the fanzone. So aye, I did . You didn't buy it for 80 euro would be the guy's point I expect 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a while ago . It was the equivalent of £80 (and a Scotland flag, which actually sealed the deal).

Empty It Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Cant find a post about it, but it's on BBC 1 Scotland right now and the Iplayer. It's about France 98. Colin Hendry and Craig Burley come across as grade A p***ks but the rest of the guys seem decent Just watched this and what a egotistical cock Burley is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 9 hours ago, Sergeant Wilson said: They'd qualified in 86 and 94. Indeed. In 1986, they won England's group and only went out in the knockout stages courtesy of a last minute goal by final bound West Germany. It's a nonsense to suggest that by the late 90s, people still saw the likes of Morocco as minnows to be easily dealt with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just comes across as an obnoxious arsehole. Hendry was arguably even worse on the programme. His comments on both Norway and Morocco were delusional. Aside from that, this was a decent watch. World Cup 98 was the first tournament I can remember properly getting into and watching all the matches, and it was interesting to see some of the footage from behind the scenes in addition to the highlights (albeit few) from our games. Collins’ penalty vs Brazil is still one of my favourite footballing memories. Can’t wait for Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky me Yeah Hendry came across as an utter arsehole. Dismissing Morocco and saying Norway were always too big for their boots. Theres a lot of countries I'd say that relates to but Norway wouldnt be one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Watched this last night and enjoyed it. Auld Broon did say that Morocco were the African champions at the time. He was usually pretty meticulous in preparation for games, so it was surprising to see how badly the whole team seemed to underestimate Morocco, although it didn't help that the team played, as Burley put it, absolutely shite. I'm still unsure why we were made to play Estonia after they never turned up. Seemed a pretty clear case that they were completely in the wrong. Unsure where the stuff about Hendry here is coming from. He was an absolutely fantastic player for Scotland. Let himself down in his last game, but he was at the end of his international career then anyway. Anyway, some top nostalgia there. I was 13 when France 98 took place and it's still my favourite tournament for many reasons. Scotland being there is a big one of course, but the amount of talent was astounding and there were so many entertaining games. Zidane, Bergkamp, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Cafu, Salas, Zamorano, Maldini, Del Piero, Baggio, Buffon, Inzaghi, Viera, Deschamp, Pires, Henry, Thuram, Petit, Trezeguet, Desailly McCarthy, Stoichkov, George, Okocha, Chilavert, Raul, Enrique, Mpenza, Campos, Blanco, De Boer (x2), Davids, Overmars, Kluivert, Matthäus, Klinsmann, Bierhoff, Ziege, Mihajlovic, Stanković, Valderrama, Asprilla, Shearer, McManaman, Owen, Scholes, Merson, Petrescu, Hagi, Sensini, Ortega, Veron, Crespo, Batistuta, Zanetti, Prosinećki, Śuker, Jarni, Boban. So many great players! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let himself down in his last game, but he was at the end of his international career then anyway. The Moroccans had drawn with Norway and got hammered by Brazil, they clearly had some talented players like Hadji but we had to be confident of getting a result against them. Dreadful performance though. In hindsight we should've had Goram in goals for the tournament, would've been hard to drop Leighton after that performance against Sweden at Ibrox however. On the subject of Sweden, I'm pretty sure the fact Lennart Johansson was UEFA president at the time influenced the decision to reschedule the Estonia game, still didn't help them qualify Agree about Hendry, fantastic player for us, at his peak we had the tightest defence in Europe.

I don't think Goram would have made any difference in the Morocco game. We were just so gash and seemed surprised by Morocco. He probably wouldn't have chucked one in like Leighton did mind, but he wouldn't have been able to boot the arse of those in front of him unfortunately. Just a terrible, terrible performance that night. Didn't know that about the UEFA president! Dodgy stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a terrible, terrible performance that night. Didn't know that about the UEFA president! Dodgy stuff. Leighton was terrible at both the first two goals, off the back of an awful season at club level. The match was tight till the second with us having quite a few good chances, Burley in particularly missing a great chance to equalise. That said, Goram had been pish that season at club level as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
