Scotland v Ukraine

Postby SalvorHardin » June 1st, 2022, 5:28 pm

Anyone cheering on the Jocks?

Granted, being Welsh I remember Joe Jordan's handball, so when it comes to football I'm not one of those who cheers onbthe home team.

And when I was 7 years old being beaten up by some Jock [EXPLETIVE DELETED] because I wore a Celtic shirt (FWIW I got my revenge, a dish best eaten cold).

I want Scotland to be humiliated. Flattened. Pulverised. Stick your Braveheart up your jacksi.

£1,000 @ 12-5. Love it

Not watching it BTW. Somerset v Sussex T20. Much more important. Just off to the County Ground

William Wallace. Alexander Graham Bell. Gavin Hastings. The bloke on the Scotts porridge oats box. Hamish Macbeth. Tony Blair. Kenny Dalgleish. Bonnie Prince Charlie. Nicola Sturgeon. Can you hear me Nicola Sturgeon. Your boys took a hell of a beating. Your boys took a hell of a beating.

Absolutely excellent of the Scottish fans to join in with the Ukrainian national anthem.

Bad luck Scotland, well played

I always saw SH as a balanced contributor to these Boards but I now wonder. He has made his point and more than, by some margin. As a Scot, I am fairly unconcerned, but I am well prepared to give the Ukrainians their deserved place. I assume SH has indulged in too much of our national liquor and will give him the benefit of the doubt on that account.

Away with ya Dod :lol:. It was a joke by "Taffy". Sorry Salvor, I had to get that one in. The devil in me has been caged for far too long. You can call me a daft, gormless chuff who wears mufflers and a flat cap, Salvor and I'll still love you. I believe we in Yorkshire often answer to the nickname tykes too :roll:

I forgot about them. I should have included Joe Jordan again for his handball (he's Wales' equivalent of Maradonna for the English).

Worse still is leaving out Ally's Tartan Army

Sometimes bets work :D I did lose £40 on Somerset v Sussex last night though

Only for handball - he's nowhere near as talented (not many were)
Nice bet win btw

A bit of respite for the Ukrainian soldiers...hopefully taking their minds off the war for a brief time.

Hi Salvor,

I hope you're well and the euphoria of the Ukrainian win is nothing more than a dim and distant memory clouded by a well earned hangover :lol: My [very] badness 8-)

I wanted to share a little ditty from my exciting life. About 38 years ago my Dad asked me if I wanted to go with him to the dog track in Norton Cannes. One race came up with only four dogs in it. And clever old me thought it would be a good idea to bet on one particular do which had no dog in either trap at the side of it.

The odds were very short and odds on. The dog won. I'd put a £1 on the dog and was in a queue waiting to collect my winnings. I can't recall what the odds were but I vaguely recall I'd won about 60p (ish). The queue went down slowly. Then the guy in front of me put his hand out and the bookie started putting money in his hand. One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred ... needless to say I went from a state of euphoria to complete shame.

Hi Salvor,

Who have you bet on to win today's game?

World Cup: Wales 'knows most of world against us' in Ukraine play-off

Wales hope to put 64 years of World Cup hurt behind them as they bid to qualify for their first finals since 1958.

Good luck

No. I'm keeping my powder dry.

Being Welsh it's a hard to bet against Wales, even though I've never been all that bothered about the Welsh national football team. Except when they play England or Scotland :D (I didn't see any of Wales world cup qualifying games).

But Welsh Rugby, especially when playing England, gets my attention :D

What is it with the Welsh and Scots "anyone but England" to win stance :D
I normally support any British team in Europe or the World Cup
Last Wednesday I, probably like everyone except the Scots, supported Ukraine, and for the same reason will support them today

That suggests that you believe, if Ukraine qualify, all teams should stand side and let Ukraine win the World Cup just to bring "some joy into their lives".

What a bloody great idea!
Can you imagine the message of solidarity and support THAT would send to Putin and every other autocratic dictator in the wings?!
Is there somewhere we can sign a petition?

Ok on that basis as I support Spurs can you make every team stand aside next season so they can win the premier league
Supporting someone does not mean everyone else stands aside
or else it's not sport :lol:

Ahead of the game i saw a vox pop on tv and they asked an Englishman who he was sorting and he said "I am English so as you would expect I want anyone but Scotland to win". They interviewed a Scot who said that he was supporting Scotland but it would be wonderful if Ukraine won (a feeling i shared)

I found the "anyone but Scotland" attitude common when i lived in London but admittedly most people didn't care. Is the "anyone but England" attitude more common in Scotland? I don't know but I must confess i feel no more or less affinity with England than i do with France. I don't think that should be a crime. My continental friends have rivalry with their neighbours. Many English people have told me of their anybody but France or Germany views. Those German views are justified in the basis of two world wars and the French attitude in no particular basis but i assume the Hundred Years War and Napoleonic Wars are to blame. Perhaps the anyone but England thing comes from similar historic memories.
