What about the penalty claim? Strong refereeing? I do like this fella he recognises it’s a contact sport

In John Lennon’s case, taken more shots in 90 seconds than Scotland managed in 90 minutes?

He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice. But they didn't have Ice Cube, so he bought Vanilla Ice.

Feck aff, mate. Pen all day, every day for the big teams, or even Eng. Laughable it wasn’t given, but no surprise.

I wasn't convinced it was a penalty, it seemed that Armstrong blew the chance and was trying to engineer a foul. However, I do see the point of view that the defender was clumsy and would understand if it was given.

Surprised it didn't even seem to be checked by VAR.

Looking for it or not, it was a pen all day long. Mbappe, Kane, Ronaldo, Morata, any German cant that’s given every single time, no arguments. We were pash overall and deserved fook all, but that decision is an absolute shocker.

Nah. He jumped in front of the defender to ensure there was contact. He almost jumped backwards. Defender is running and can't suddenly stop dead because an opposition player has jumped in front of him. Armstrong should have looked to get the shot off and for what he deserved.

For me it was 'more a pen than not', but Armstrong seem more interested in trying to get the pen rather than score. I don't know if he was a touch offside also, but it shouldn't overshadow what was a negative disappointing display from Scot who didn't create much at all.

Hungary were disappointing also. Maybe the occasion got to both teams, but it was like lets just play for a draw until the last 15-20 mins and then go for it.

Shankland showed great energy when he came on and probably deserved more time in all the games. But compared to other teams, Sco looked so negative and lacking ideas. I never liked the approach of let's go for 4 points - settling for a draw against Swi, when they copuld have been more positive towards the end, and having so much of the ball against Hungary and not doing much with it.

Clarke will deflect to the pen decision, but ultimately Sco didn't go for it enough in the last 2 games and whilst the fans will be missed, the team won't in terms of football it produced.

Other than it was a stonewaller penalty, completely agree.

And Clarke should do the honourable thing and fwck off

Have to say, that Scotland let themselves down by not going for it, and being too negative, whether it was the managers fault or just the teams safety first attitude, who knows,but I expected more passion at least.

Yes ,I thought Steve Clarke might have been to safety first in his approach, I did expect the jocks to at least show some fire and brimstone !

...........


This, for sure.

I was looking forward to a graph from Barry, today.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I watched the video back in the BBC website about 10 times. The movement that Armstrong makes isn't natural. He deliberately jumps in front of the defender to ensure that there is contact. As I said, he almost stops/goes backwards. He had the chance to score and make history for his country and opted to try and buy a penalty instead. I've no sympathy for him really.
