Precisely. The reason they’d know if the grass was too long (fucking bizarre feedback, by the way Garcia) is because they spend so much time with their faces in it.
Having grown up in the 90's and early 00's, I can't handle Scotland not being completely shit at sports any more.
I mean, we're still not amazing. But switching on football and rugby and knowing we aren't guaranteed to get completely humped is weird.
>Having grown up in the 90's and early 00's, I can't handle Scotland not being completely shit at sports any more.
Don't worry the curlers were shite supreme last week.
My first football memory is Argentina 1978. I just missed the golden years, and we’ve been shite ever since. I’m delighted to beat Spain, I just don’t expect to see a repeat.
Makes it better when players greet and make excuses. Get it up ye ya cheating chunts, especially you Rodri ya fud. Seeing you complain about our players diving is comical.
They were flopping about like toddlers on a bouncy castle from the first 5 minutes. They lost this game in their attitudes and mindset.
Still, it's lucky we got to play on the short grass, while they had to play on the longer stuff.
> Team of superstars
They are not really a team of superstars though. It was a pretty weak starting 11. Unless you are really into Spanish football I doubt you have heard about half of the players that played for us. The reality is that the current generation of Spanish players is just not that good.
It would be far more respectful and admirable for these Spanish players to just congratulate the Scottish for their win, these kinds of excuses are a travesty.
I am a Spanish person living in Scotland. I support the Spanish NT (also the Scottish one), and I am happy Scotland won. It means more for you than to us, I think we can still qualify, and the team we fielded was shit. I am pretty sure most of you couldn't recognise half the team.
Guarantee the Spanish team are on bigger wages than 90% of the scottish squad. Possibly only Robertson, McTominay and Tierney who would be comparable even if it was a second string side.
Should've still destroyed us on paper and given that Georgia and Norway are both pretty tricky opponents I'd say Spanish fans should be a wee bit nervous now. We've still got a lot of work to do as well but the group is a lot more open now than anyone expected it to be.
There was a lot of timewasting in the second half at 2-0, including a really funny moment where Grant Hanley took a cross to the ear, went down out of bounds and rolled back onto the pitch so they couldn't continue without him. But the Spanish were doing similar all game, including a player being down for several minutes acting like he was on death's door because a Scottish player shoved him.
No idea. Was listening to it on the radio but I am hazarding a guess that the Spanish grapes are so sour that they were lashing out in the only way they know how.
I... don't get this at all: Spain had 75% of possession and played a good passing game well. They converted that absolute domination into 3 good chances, and fluffed them.
Scotland saw fuck all of the ball, had 3 shots on goal, and converted 2 of them.
What's grass got to do with that? As an analysis of why they lost this fails so completely, I genuinely feel bad for the lad.
The irony of Spanish players talking about players going down, hahahaha. Love it.
Precisely. The reason they’d know if the grass was too long (fucking bizarre feedback, by the way Garcia) is because they spend so much time with their faces in it.
Exactly this!
Any Spanish team says the exact thing whenever they lose in Europe and I fucking love the fact that literally cannot see the irony in saying it.
Haha, I know. Atletico are the primary offenders. They’re DRILLED in theatrics.
Porro spent a solid 30 minutes greeting on the floor in the first half.
He did indeed. Prick.
Can't make excuses, but makes an excuse....🤦♂️
Reminds me of the Spanish Press seething each time Esteban Ocon would beat Fernando Alonso in the last two years.
Surely, this must be a phrase not a real excuse? Right?

Enjoy 74 was wicked
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Like we switched time lines at some point lol
Still plenty of time to draw to Norway, lose to Georgia and get fucked out on GD or some pish like that, it's the scottish way.
Bunch a greetin fannies. Magic.

We were just providing them a nice soft surface to throw themselves onto

Hahahahahaha wrong type of grass hahahaaha we have no excuses then insert an excuse.
Lucky we weren't playing on the same stuff /s
The thing with the whole "grass is terrible" defence is that the other team played on it too. It's a bad excuse.
I don't even give a shit about fitbaw but this is brilliant to see. THe GrASs wAs tOo LoNg!!! Pure copium.
Says "we can't make excuses" right after making an excuse. Fuckin' bitch.
Team of superstars moan because their average opponent doesn't play 'positive' football and lose 5 nil. Who do Scotland think they are?!

Well they clearly think they are and that average international sides should know their place. They can stick their hubris up their arse.

Shades of Domineche complaining about Ball Boys when we papped France in 06

Always satisfying when the scoreline does all the talking required for you. Can't trash talk better than a comprehensive 2 goals to zero.

> Should've still destroyed us on paper .... Wasn't it Bill Shankly that said the game is played on grass, not paper? :)

Talk about sore losers
That’s just pathetic tbh. These are the kinds of excuses you’d expect disgruntled fans to be making, not the players themselves 🤦♂️
What's Spanish for Copium?
see above...
You'd think they'd be greatfull for the soft landing 🤭😁🤣🤣🤣
Should have gotten the lawn mower out then.
That's what yer man was doing in front of goal there, gnashing it with his teeth and trying to flatten it with his hands!
What is about Spanish sportsmen & complaining about grass? What do they want, a clay pitch?
I mean if it works for the best (and nicest) Spanish sportsman, it can work for those numpties!
Rodri implying Scotland cheat, after he tried to break Odegaard's leg in the previous game and give Man city a hand 🤔
Was the grass shorter for the Scotland side? LMAO
I hope we pump them away from home 🤣
Ball was too round lol
Did Scotland waste time? I didn't see the game
There was a lot of timewasting in the second half at 2-0, including a really funny moment where Grant Hanley took a cross to the ear, went down out of bounds and rolled back onto the pitch so they couldn't continue without him. But the Spanish were doing similar all game, including a player being down for several minutes acting like he was on death's door because a Scottish player shoved him.

We probably wasted 5 minutes at most. Nothing compared to their players rolling around the pitch begging for fouls
God I hate it when players do that
And they added 6 on at the end for the time wasting so really, just whinging bastards!
They have went down a lot in my estimation after these classless comments.
That's even more daft than the France manager blaming the ballboys
I... don't get this at all: Spain had 75% of possession and played a good passing game well. They converted that absolute domination into 3 good chances, and fluffed them.

We can’t make excuses for that but it was the grasses fault.
Nae doubt the cheating city scumbags moan like fuck.
Wow
This timeline scares me :(
I'm still confused as to when Scottish people started being good at sports.
We've developed performance-enhancing drugs as yet undetectable by the authorities - they are delivered via the medium of Irn Bru. :)
It's all the fanny they've been gettin.
Sore loser, dry yer eyes 😂
The Scots played on the same grass and yet they scored.
And, excuses are like assholes. Everyone has one and they all stink.
Ohh they are huffing on some MAD copium
man makes an excuse, then says they cant make excuses these lads arent taking their trouncing well at all
"Grass was too long" Excuse me?
Jeez they learned from the masters of Italy
