Euro 2004 play-offs second leg

Get in there! We love you Latvia, we do, we love you Latvia, we do, we love you Latvia we do, ohhhhhh Latvia we love you!

Re: Prso, for some reason Coleman thinks he'd want to move to Fulham, and was planning on buying him in the next transfer window. Little chance before, but surely no chance now!

[PompeyPunt]

Well scots definately going out, Welsh have had their chances, can they pull it back?

[GETT1NLOTS]

Scotland look like they're out.

Watching Wales on the TV. Still 1-0 down. Looks like one of those nights that they will never hit the back of the net.

Come on Wales. Hope I am wrong.

Wales are tired, can't see them saving it now. Scotland are just a woeful excuse for a team

Went to the pub, pub heaving, big expectancy in Scotland.

First goal - you can't let a player like that run for 30 yards with no pressure and pick his shot.

Goals 2 and 3 - you can't defend like that at free kicks and expect to get away with it.

Went home at HT. Got in, switched on the telly to see RVN lob in number 4. Switched off the telly.

6-0 doesn't surprise me given first half. A lesson for us tonight. And probably confirms that Saturday was more of an upset than the better team winning. Glad I didn't travel.

Now onto the weekend coupons

Honestly wanted to see both home nations qualify but the best teams won over the two ties without doubt.

Aye Crowie, I think that brings us back to reality a bit. Think that Sat. had (basically shyte) players like Wilkie playing the best game of their lives and the Dutch being below par at the same time.

Tonight, I think normal service was resumed ..............

(Still think Vogts has done a good job though.)

[GETT1NLOTS]

Well it just seemed one of those nights for Wales.

Whilst they never put on enough pressure for me, they were worth the draw if never the win.

Worst thing is I feel that if they would have scored the crowd would have got behind them, Russia's brittle away form would have been exposed and then.... well we will never know?

Wasn't that strange as well? Very little noise from the Welsh crowd tonight? Sounded like the Old Trafford crowd in a European tie....

As for Scotland I didn't see the match so I can't comment on the game.

For those Scots who support England (quietly maybe) I am sorry.

For those Scots that bought Brasil shirts during the World Cup and love to see England lose - well, I won't stoop to your level tonight...

On a positive note - Turkey are out. (sorry if you had money on them guys :o but I HATE the Turkish team).

Oh God, that news did make me feel better. There is truly a God after all.....

Very true Zonker. And I also won't waste any money going to Portugal to see it either. Now thats 2 positives already

[GETT1NLOTS]

Zonker you are a bit harsh mate? Why not find some paper cuts on a Scotsman's arm and put a lemon juice drip in?? :rolleyes

Crikey mate I thought I was bad.

Turkey are out.
good night of football

Sorry lads, just joking with you all Even I didn't think Scotland were capable of losing 6-0 though. I did want them to win, but when the second went in it was clearly all over.

Wales needed a goal from somewhere. Hartson, Speed and Giggs all missed pretty good chances. The longer it went on at 1-0 though, the poorer Wales played. Last 30 minutes you'd at least have expected some more aggression and effort from them. Seems like they missed Bellamy and Davies.

The only reason I like to wind the Scots up is I have a few friends who are constantly saying how much better than England they are And as for people who said Wales would've qualified from England's group before the last game (even though that was impossible) to you too!

I would've liked to see the home nations through, but find it hard to be upset that they're not when I saw the Turkish flag being waved at Hampden when Scotland and England were both playing their final games

He has a point you know?... >D

[Dub Cee]

We'll be coming We'll be coming

we'll be coming down the road

When u hear the noise of the tartan army boys

we'll be coming down the road

[Dub Cee]

Scotland were crap tonight, they were worse than when we played the french. But hey at least we beat them at home and we gave them a shock. We'll be back!!!!!!

[Dub Cee]

Just in case any1 hasn't noticed yet i'm drunk, drowning my sorrows after those arrogant wank**s beat us, I hate them and i really hope that England or some1 beats them

I could lower myself to your level, but I'd rather not bother. Thought the population of Scotland was closer to 10 million anyway?

And you'll find that in the World Cup, England beat Denmark 3-0. In a meaningless friendly with loads of substitutions, England lost. Scotland meanwhile have never been past the first round of a major competition, and will probably not even qualify for another one for many years to come.

Don't get me wrong the rest of you though, I did want Scotland to win tonight It's a real shame they didn't make it. I won't be shedding any tears over it though, mainly due to that sort of anti-English sentiment England gets from a lot of Scots. The Scots on here seem to be above all that though (mostly!)

A bit of harmless banter is fine, but I don't appreciate your needless personal abuse Dub Cee. Everything I said was intended in good humour, shame you're too bitter to see it that way.

[Matt]

Sorry Zonker, So what scotland r out we have a population of 5 million odd.

No need to bring population into a football argument, I mean, Costa Rica has a population of 1.5million, doesnt mean Scotland deserve to beat them............................oh.............who ops forgot :o

For those Scots that bought Brasil shirts during the World Cup and love to see England lose - well, I won't stoop to your level tonight...

Well I will.

Cheerio guys, yet again you totally humilate yourselves front of the world while you cousins south of the border are YET AGAIN having to the fly the british flag alone during a major tournament, sometimes I wonder what how the British empire was so big considering you occasionaly poked your noses in

My younger cousin turned to me whilst watching and asked me why there were lots of grown men crying in a stadium with wigs and skirts on. You'll be happy to know I told him it was national transvestites week to save you boys any embarassment:o

now for the welsh........Was a shame I thought as I really thought they could do it, I also couldnt believe how quiet the welsh crowd was tonight, for a game of this magnitude i was amazed, Russia must have thought they were playing on a neutral venue at times.

and the turks....... , serves you lot right. HAHAHAHAHA! thats karma for you, well done Latvia, screwed me out of a bet but I think im happier now than if it won.

All in all guys................

be happy and look forward, theers a british team in another "major sporting world cup" on saturday.........oh whoops again.............its England again. >D

(goes to sleep humming)............"and did those feet, in anc.........."

You'll be happy to know I told him it was national transvestites week

to funny
Shame as it would have been nice to have at least one more British contingent in Portugal. Scotland was very poor and after 3-0 I switched to Wales but it wasnt any better.

-Turkey won third place in WC2002 => ??? qualify for EC2004

Well Im great believer in tradition and I had my share on Latvia. Im delighted that they stuffed the turkey and my forgiveness must be shown to Sweden after they went down to Latvia to let them go to play offs (at Polands cost ). Never liked Turks and not only because the way they play. They are bunch of cheaters not only in football.
Well done to all that qualified. Lets hope for a great tournament .

We were rubbish last night. Hyped up by our own media far to much and Vogts didn't recognise that the formation and team that played on Saturday had weaknesses that should have been fixed.

However, the positive side is that we can now listen to how great England are for 8 months before watching them get a doing from any of France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Spain and Portugal in the summer

Scotland can win, lose or draw with dignity. England cannot.

(awaits predictable response) :rolleyes
