Get fucking in.

Wow you are on fire with all the posts Rico - totally agree about top spot tho I think if Tierney & Robertson injured maybe would struggle the next 2 games but I defo think we should be going all out to win them and hoping Spain slip up ha

Yep, it also takes the pressure off for the Georgia and Norway games and turns them into a bit of a friendly. They've barely put a foot wrong in the campaign, I think we deserved a chance to go for that top spot. I was actually surprised that there wasn't more made of it on Thursday to be honest. It was fleetingly mentioned in the commentary, but it seemed like our target prior to the Spain game was simply qualifying rather than winning the group. There seemed to be a lot of annoyance at the decision to chalk off our goal, but very little focus on why it was so bad for us. It was almost like there was still a lack of belief (among the general punditry) that we could win the final two games to win the group. Almost a relief that we don't have to go through it I suppose, which I thought we'd moved on from. They all seem to be stuck in the mindset that Scotland will strive to fuck it up at the death, which I think this group of players deserves better than.

Fantastic. Although still a little gutted that we're not playing for top spot. A draw would have been nice.

Couldn’t see at the game what the goal was chopped off for and having watched it back twice now I am still none the wiser. Totally agree with Rico VAR needs chucked in the bin. No decision that takes that long to review is a clear and obvious error. Seville is a fantastic city and well worth a visit if are down that way.

The ref signalled for a foul, but then about twenty minutes later, VAR released offside footage. It could be a case of the ref getting his signals wrong, but I wouldn't rule out him going to VAR without having a clear understanding of what he was looking for. I'd like Scotland to press for the audio to be released. It's a decision that will likely see Spain top the group. Another case of VAR ruining a great moment. The margins for offside are pathetic. There's absolutely no way that even the Spanish media would be repeating that goal back and forth to decide whether Hendry's foot was on or off (prior to VAR I mean). It ruins the enjoyment of the game. They either need to ditch VAR or change the offside rule to something that doesn't result in two minute delays and goals being disallowed for toes being offside. There really weren't that many outrageous offside decisions prior to VAR that has made this abomination worth it. Similarly handball. Basically 90% of VAR interventions. In short, though, as per the specifications laid out in the rules, the goal was correctly disallowed, but there is huge confusion because the ref signalled incorrectly. He was fucking awful all night, and worse than anything I've seen in Scotland this season.
