SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2025-2026

I love these old clips, dangerous tackle from behind, blatant stamp, missed punch, Souness checks his perms ok....play on lads

Oh we've got very good Riefenstahls.

 

Wilfred Nancy. I'll repress my urge to tourettes tick PISH and see how it goes. Any thoughts on this guy, whiskey?

 

Crooks punch was bullshit. Literally could not have missed by more.

 

He looks fucking shite.

 

Had the pleasure of BBC Northern Irish commentary Vs Slovakia tonight on the BBC. Fuck me that must be what Rangers TV sounds like every week.

Slovakia had the ball in the net 3 times before they finally were allowed to score.

 

Football hipsters love him. Could be interesting at least. I don't love the thought of listening to that french accent for two years.

 

Joycey not having it

 

To be honest he looks like the sort of black hipster non-traditionalist that might terrifying fuck out of Rangers etc. He's not one of these "regular" black people, he has strong Deliveroo-Dinghy vibes off him. Could be useful in agitating the Royalists.

 

You have to be "big picture" in all things, eh?

 

Watching Greece Vs Scotland, Scotland totally outplayed for about 40 minutes, came into it for the last few minutes with around 4 big chances in the final minutes.

I only know this because the lesbian in the BBC studio told me so. I can't barely follow the game myself.

 

Incredible fightback by Scotland. Could win it now. 3-2 down Vs 10 men, 10 mins to go.

 

Brilliant from Ireland

 

Fucking planets gone mad. Liverpool strugglin. Ireland looking like Masters. Troy Parrot looking like Maradona.

 

If we'd beaten Armenia and drawn with Hungary at home and Portugal away (hugely achievable) I think we'd be top.

Maddening.

 

Brilliant achievement, Seamus Coleman was a huge factor, great to have Troy bloody Parrott in form. Hungary should have won, but their bollocks shrunk into peas after scoring the second. Hard to see us beating another two runner up teams, especially as Nathan Collins is guaranteed to cough up game changing errors....but...the dream is still alive.

On another note, entered the lottery for world cup tickets, it's a complete racket, designed to fleece desperate fans who will have to resort to FIFA's own secondary market. The end result will be large empty swathes in stands of first round matches....because of limited availability of face value tickets which will put off fans from small countries as well as casuals

 

"That's where you're wrong, so wrong, it's going to be a.... great tournament. Maybe one of the best. Ask anyone. People are already saying it's going to be one of the best, maybr the best, lots of tickets, in fact, more tickets than ever before. Nathan Collins?.Where's Nathan, come out Nathan, there he is, great guy"

 

Playoffs are fucking weird. One off game and then another one. We might beat Wales,Albania, Northern Ireland. There won't be any Estonia 2012.

 

Before the last week I would have said it was not realistic for to beat two teams which will likely be FIFA ranked higher than us....if it's Wales, Northern Ireland, Iceland (?), it's 50/50, but Poland, Italy, even the Czechs who aren't great...still hard to see it

 

Unfortunately we can't "bring them back to Dublin" or "take something with us to Prague" etc. It's one and done, twice.

 

Is 1990 the last time Scotland & Ireland were both at a tournament?

 

I think so.

 

Haha as much as we bemoan ai written slop, it does put a higher floor under writing standards than the bbc. Deary me

Scotland v Denmark World Cup qualifier - preview of Hampden game

 

"lying thick and still under the cover of plastic seats"

Right you are . Lol

 

Crazy stuff

 

"schhhheeuuuuuuuteeeee"

 

That was mental. Well done Scotland. I was a schoolboy the last time they were in it.

 

Same here. 1990.

Scotland will now dutifully crash out in the group stage having played Costa Rica in Phoenix Arizona, Senegal in Orlando Florida and Iran in Boise Idaho.
