    France 98 was pretty magical.....up until the Morocco game

      The Norway draw was frustrating, I may be remembering it wrong, but I thought we did enough to win - Dailly had a great game. Can remember thinking we were going to walk the Morocco game too...

        I think after we ran Brazil close in the opening game of the tournament optimism was pretty high.

        Keeping in mind it was 26 years ago () my memory of the Norway game was that it was pretty even game.

        It's the Morocco game that stings.....in fairness they had a pretty good team.

          It seems even third place gets a medal this time. Even still I think itÂ’s an ask.

          Yeah, the failures are etched in my mind. England letting one in v. The Dutch meaning we didn’t go through. Gary Macca mysterious ball roll on the pen. No Johnstone hitting the ball ‘too well’ v Sweden. Morocco. Costa Rica…

          Still, Id not choose to follow another country ever. Seeing my kids realise what theyÂ’ve got to contend with in supporting Scotland. The endless romanticism in supporting a team destined to be just a bit too ****e.

            Had to check to see if I was in the Everton thread then

              My first tournament north of the border. A naive Brit with an English accent (71% Irish!) thought all the home nations supported the others. It was the 90th minute of the Romania game when Petrescu scored the winner and the place went off that I realised how wrong a I was….

              There was a hilarious dubbed commentary of the Brazil v Scotland opener, that focussed on John Collins trying to avoid any involvement in the game.
              We are here for a good time not a long time....

                  [Charlie Gordon] Understand Brentford have joined Leicester and Southampton in the race for Ben Doak. Liverpool have told the 18yo he can leave on loan this summer following conclusion of pre-season tour.

                    I think he needs proper games to show what he can do. The few times he has got on the pitch for us he looked prretty ineffective.

                    Hopefully a run of games will allow him to develop for next season.

                      Yeah he looks a talent - needs the platform to prove it. Hope he goes to Brentford, good manager solid club.

                        Elliott didn't get loaned out nor Curtis. I'm nor sure it's always best to loan out the youngsters. How many come back and make it? Most end up getting sold.

                          Elliott had a very strong season loan at Blackburn. Played 40 odd games for them.

                            Doak needs that sort of volume of games… maybe Championship is best just to ensure he gets the minutes.

                              Bradley and Quansah both also made their LFC 1st team breakthroughs on the back of successful loans too.

                                Ah I forgot that. Absolute zero recollection of it. Lol. Fair enough, I stand corrected.
