The most damning criticism was that it was like watching England play

And Wanderers sadly.

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

It was a clear-cut penalty as well 😁

[Dimron]

What did they expect from an Argie Ref the day after Hand-of-God Day?

Makes it even sweeter. They'll be fucking moaning about it for a good while now. Nothing like as long as they have celebrated Maradona's cheating.

Why’s an argie ref refereeing in the European championships?

Tello’s selection for the tournament is part of a collaboration between Uefa and their South American counterparts Conmebol. By extension, Italy’s Maurizio Mariani is taking charge of matches at this summer’s Copa America.

Feel for Scotland.

They clearly lack quality but not heart.

Ask them how much they feel for us when we get knocked out in the next round

[wiggy]

You’d be gutted not to get the penalty but should never have come to that. You’re clean through. Go and score instead of trying to earn yourself a penalty

Same, except I'd deny it's irrational.

The whole media build up asdumed a win & that Germany would win. Yet ingored that those results needed a +7 goal difference switch for the Jocks to go through.

And you ”ingored” the fact that it didn’t need a +7 goal difference ‘switch’ and that a win would be 99% likely to be enough as one of the best third placed teams, regardless of the result in the other game.

As it is, Clarke got exactly what he deserved for his negative attitude.

And as this is a complete continuation of the play off disappointment, I’m quite happy to not watch another game of football until August.

That was 100% a pen. How is VAR not pulling that?

Tbh I didn’t think it was a pen at the time, and I still don’t. Kind of typified the performance really that Armstrong should have gone towards goal and got clipped rather than end up in a wrestle.

Only watched a bit of the post match stuff but Andy Gray (I know), Ashley Cole and Joe Cole* were all convinced it was a penalty.

* Only the big guns on beinsports3.

Never a penalty. Armstrong makes the most unnatural jump to his left to get in front of the defender who then can do nothing but collide into him. It's a foul by Armstrong.

Imagine there's no defender there, Armstrong actually won't be able to catch up with the ball running through towards the goal after that movement.

I was embarrassed for him in honesty. That was a decent chance to win it for Scotland and he chose to try and win a penalty instead. Pathetic

Same on the BBC punditry panel - they all thought it was a stonewall penalty. Crazy.

Anyway, Scotland got what they deserved in that game. Hungary were by far the more attacking team. Scotland can't turn up to big tournaments thinking aiming for nil Nils every game is good enough 

[London Wanderer]

Gutted. Wanted them to go through. But they weren’t good enough tonight, first half was absolutely awful.

We will be out with a similar whimper in the knockouts unless something clicks into gear. 
 

And it was definitely a penalty. Without VAR most refs would give it.

You are of course correct 👍🏻

[jayjayoghani]

They were saying on the Guardian football podcast that Scotland could qualify with a draw, and hence 2 points if 4 other results happened (from other groups). One was England beating Slovenia 3-0 for instance.

So I'd lump on those 4 results now 😆

Switzerland decent, Germany not at it or a bit of both? 

This is correct. It would not surprise me if they faltered at the next step though. They must be utterly fucked after an effort like that.

Not seen the best of the Germans yet. Their campaign is developing nicely.

Really glad to see the back of them. If I want to see blokes parading in womens clothing on the BBC I'll watch Ru Pauls show. Not sure where I'd see one making a god awful racket squeezing an octopus.

(I wish I hadn't typed that last one knowing that Gonzo's about)

Precisely (although I am expecting it to be the quarters).

You reap what you sow.

Exactly my thoughts. The jump was opposite of what he needed to do to prepare for a shot. 

[Biggish Dave]

Delighted they got what they deserved. They always want us out so bollocks to them.

Hungary had far more intent in winning even though they were also average at best.

Toodle pip
