JohnGalway 1,043 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 The only possible entertainment of the depressingly bad England displays over this tournament is listening to the Scottish,Welsh and Irish and then realising just how jealous,poisoned and hurt they all are that they are the overspill of Britain.....its like listening to a divorced couple where the husband keeps constantly trying to rattle the wife,calling her names,trying to get under her skin....but she doesnt give a f**k because the little man means nothing to her Do your psycology lads.....hate is a feeling,just like love..........when/if Scotland,Ireland,Wales play in the world cup i will be hoping they do ok..............thats because i have no love and no hate for them,in fact they simply dont matter...... Us English obviously matter so much to you boys you need to get a dig in every chance you get...just like the poor little husband who nobody cares about anymore.... Oh I like finger pointing. Do you not see how you're painting yourself with that post? You feel the need to respond due to all the little people of the former Empire telling ya to go do one? It's gotta hurt I admit.

chimp 299 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) ripped from another site , intresting read if anything , shall we call it a day now lads lol Scotland’s Incredible yet Appalling World Cup history Ah, Scotland the inventors of the television, the telephone and golf. However our best invention may well be football Now usually the inventors of a certain sport tend to be fairly good at it. However we may prove to be the exception (we aren’t even participating at this World Cup which is why it is I, not Daryl, that is bringing you this blog). I hope to show you this as I describe our interesting, weird, unsuccessful and at times, catastrophic World Cup history. 1954; Hello World After not even attempting to qualify for the first 3 World Cups, Scotland weren’t a member of FIFA, and refusing to participate in the 1950 World Cup ( despite qualifying!!!!!) Scotland made it to the 1954 World Cup, qualifying ahead of Wales and Northern Ireland, although behind England (but that didn’t matter, we were on our way to Switzerland!) Scotland were drawn in a group against reigning champions Uruguay, eventual 3rd place finishers Austria and Czechoslovakia. As per usual at major tournaments Scotland got a very difficult group. Scotland were defeated by Austria in the first game 1-0. In the next game against Uruguay, Scotland needed to win to set up another game against Uruguay (the format in this tournament wasn’t great) to see who advanced to the quarter finals. Needless to say Scotland lost. 7-0. It remains Scotland’s heaviest defeat in an international game. Our World Cup record was off to a dismal start. Squad rating- 5. We had a difficult group so it was no surprise we exited early. 1958; Er, hi again. Remember us ? We were beat 7-0 last time We turned up in Sweden, who’s best invention is either IKEA or ABBA, trying to gain a wee bit of pride back. We were drawn in a group against France (who boasted Just Fontaine and Raymond Kopa), Yugoslavia and Paraguay. In our first game we drew 1-1 with Yugoslavia. Jimmy Murray of Hearts created history by becoming Scotland’s first player to score at a World Cup. In our next game against Paraguay, Scotland needed to win to stand any chance of getting through the groups. Needless to say we lost. Jackie Mudie and Bobby Collins scored but alas, it was to no avail as Scotland were defeated 3-2. In our last game against France, meaningless for us as we were out of the tournament, we were defeated 2-1 with Sammy Baird scoring the consolation goal. So we signed off with a point and an ounce of respect from the watching world, waiting for our next move. Squad rating- 5.5 A better team than ‘54 and we had an easier group so we could maybe have expected a quarter final appearance. 1974; We’re back After failing to qualify for a World Cup during the 1960’s, incredibly considering we had the Lisbon Lions, Jim Baxter, Dave Mackay, John Greig and Denis Law in our side, we returned to the World Cup in 1974. We were drawn in a group against Brazil, Yugoslavia and Zaire. It wasn’t the best Brazil side (but still it’s Brazil) but it was a fairly difficult group (minus Zaire, possibly the worst team to appear at a World Cup). Our first game was against Zaire. This game ultimately cost us in the group (more of that later) but we won 2-0 with Peter Lorimer and Joe Jordan firing us to our first World Cup victory. Our next game was against reigning champions Brazil. The game finished 0-0, Brazil’s second blank scoreline of the tournament. Yugoslavia meanwhile put 9, yes 9, past Zaire. In our last game, against Yugoslavia, we needed to win or hope Brazil didn’t score more than 2 against Zaire. Joe Jordan scored a last minute equaliser to make it 1-1 but because Brazil beat Zaire 3-0 we were elimanated at the first stage again. However we were the only team to go home undefeated in that tournament. Squad rating- 7.5 Older players from the 60’s, Bremner, Johnstone, Law etc coming together with the young lads who would start in ‘78, Dalglish, Jardine, Jordan, McQueen etc. 1978; “We’re on the march with Ally’s Army, we’re going to the Argentine, for we’ll really shake them up, when we win the World Cup, ’cause Scotland are the greatest football team” The Scotland team that left for Argentina was the best national side produced by this island (sorry England’s ‘66 team but this team were better, plus your World Cup was fixed). We were drawn against Holland (runners up of the last tournament and this one), Peru and Iran. It was a difficult group, no doubt. But the Scottish press forgot that and went into overdrive. The reason for this was Ally McLoed. He was appointed in 1977 and won the British Home Nations Championship after a short while in the job. So everyone forgot about the fact we had to work hard and prepare well to win the World Cup. Our first game was against Peru. The nation was watching the game and expecting a win. When Joe Jordan put us ahead after 20 minutes it was expected we’d go on to win comfortably. But Cubillas had other ideas and he scored twice to make it 3-1 to Peru. So after that embarrassment we went straight into another one. Peru were a good team, Cubillas their star, unlike our next opponents, Iran. Scotland hadn’t played very well in the first half but went in one goal ahead, thanks to an own goal. But bang on the hour mark, Iran equalised with an Iraj Danaeifard. Scotland failed to score with half an hour remaining. Going in to the last game (against possibly the best national side in the world at the time) Scotland needed to win by 3 clear goals. Scotland went in 1-1 at half time, Resembrink scoring a penalty for Holland before Dalglish equalised. Straight after the restart Scotland were awarded a penalty which Archie Gemmell scored to put Scotland ahead. The Tartan Army were daring to dream again. Then on the 68th minute Archie Gemmell scored the goal of the tournament. But Scotland’s euphoria was short lived as Johnny Rep scored a belter 3 minutes later. The Scotland World Cup dream was ended prematurely…again. Squad rating- 8.5 A truly fantastic squad but Ally McLoed and the SFA let us down. 1982; We have a dream After the misery of ‘78 we went into the 1982 World Cup a little less optimistic about our chances. Even though we had a squad of similar ability we weren’t quite as buoyed up about us potentially winning it. There are a number of reasons for this. One is we got a very difficult group (minus New Zealand) as per usual. Another is that we were up against an unbelievably good Brazil side, a team who EVERYONE thought would win the World Cup. There was a lot of quality at this tournament. Brazil, Italy, West Germany, France, Spain, Argentina, Poland all very good teams, all better than ourselves. At the last World Cup only Holland, Argentina and West Germany were really better than us and even then we could still beat them (as proven by the fact we beat the Dutch). The fans however, seemed to be really enjoying themselves. While the chances of us winning ‘78 were larger, very few fans had travelled to Argentina. However because this was Spain, everyone went there for a massive party. The football wasn’t as important. Our first game of the tournament was against World Cup newbies New Zealand. At half time we went in 3-0 up, Dalglish and a Wark double putting us into the lead. In the second half New Zealand pulled it back to 3-2 before John Robertson and Steve Archibald made it finish 5-2. Our next was against Brazil. Bloody hell, were they good. However after 18 minutes Dave Narey scored. That’s a bit like poking a lion in the eye with a stick. Not advisable. Brazil soon turned it around with Zico, Oscar, Eder and Falcao putting the ball past Alan Rough. So in our last game against the USSR we had to win because if we drew we would go out on goal difference. Which is precisely what we did, draw. Joe Jordan scored his 4th World Cup goal in his 3rd tournament to put us one-up before Chivadze equalised on the hour mark. Then Alan Hansen and Willie Miller bumped into each other allowing Shengelia to race clear and score making it 2-1 with 5 minutes to go. Graeme Souness pulled one back with two minutes to go but we couldn’t find the net again. See the highlights of this incredible match here Squad rating- 8.5. Unfortunate to be in one of the best and most talented, in terms of teams competing and the players in them, World Cup’s. 1986; OK we won’t win this one We had the best manager of all time on the bench (before he moved to Man U). We also had a very difficult World Cup group, as per usual. West Germany, runners up of the last tournament, and eventually this one before winning the next one, Denmark with Michael Laudrup and Jan Molby and a couple of the players who would win Euro 92 and a very stern, aggressive and defensive Uruguay side. Our first game was against the Great Danes (kinda literally) and we lost 1-0. Then in the next game we lost 2-1 to the Germans with Gordon Strachan getting our goal. In the last game against Uruguay we could still have progressed to the last 16 had we won but we drew 0-0 in a game only remembered by the fact it had the fastest sending off in World Cup history (Batista after a foul on Strachan after 56 seconds). Squad rating- 7. A good team but inferior to the Danes and the Germans. 1990; Another first round exit probably Scotland had the least talented team of their 5 World Cups in-a-row. Which is a great shame because we had our first ever easy group. OK we had Brazil who were boasting Romario and Careca but you can’t seriously tell me that Costa Rica or Sweden were better. Our first game was against Costa Rica. They were the ‘90 equivalent of Zaire or New Zealand, the probable whipping boys of the group. Yet we remarkably lost 1-0. Only Scotland, folks. So to try and get some pride back we had to beat Sweden. Stuart McCall scored after 10 minutes and Mo Johnston converted a penalty. Sweden pulled back a late goal but we won 2-1. If we could draw against Brazil we would qualify. Of course we didn’t, we lost 1-0 so we ordered a pizza and headed home. Squad rating- 6. Probably better than a 6 but when you get beat by Costa Rica it’s hard to claim you’re good at football. 1998; Brazil again ? Scotland would be playing in the game everyone would be watching. Not the final silly, the opening game against the reigning champions ! Who were the reigning champions ? Bloody Brazil. For the 4th time we were to play against each other at the World Cup group stage. So the big game. How would Scotland start ? The only way Scotland could, losing an early goal. However, a few minutes before half time, Scotland were awarded a penalty. John Collins stepped up and put it away. Then with 15 minutes remaining Scotland did something only Scotland could, score, but into the wrong net. Here are the highlights. Our next game was against Norway. Norway managed to take the lead before Craig Burley managed to equalise. It remains Scotland’s last goal at a World Cup. If Scotland could defeat Morocco they would get 3rd place (as Norway would go on to beat Brazil). However Scotland were defeated 3-0 by Morocco. Our last game at a World Cup. Squad rating-5. Our current crop are better than this lot were. World Cup Record Games played: 23 Won: 4 (vs Zaire, Holland, New Zealand and Sweden) Draw: 7 (vs Yugoslaviax2, Brazil, Iran, USSR, Uruguay, Norway) Lost: 11 Edited June 28, 2010 by chimp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
