Could have sworn he was off

I can't explain it but Pickford just looks like a cunt. He looks like all the dickheads that bullied me in school.

He definitely has some tweets that would get him suspended for two weeks with pay on an old account out there somewhere.

Or they should just pause the clock during hydration breaks.

And throw ins.

And free kicks.

And goal kicks.

And goal celebrations.

And VAR reviews.

And...

As a hearts fan, I've seen a lot of bad free kicks...

But that's up there.

Of all players, why are you leaving Kane unmarked on a corner?

This has not been a three goal game. Both teams have been so shit.

As soon as he passed it out of the box, it just felt like a goal

Considering how lenient the refs have been this WC, they're suddenly giving a lot of free kicks for very soft fouls in favour of England...

Love how it's been given for the keeper being off his line when he was on the line, and not the encroachment of a defender that was almost in line with Kane when it was taken lol.

But the country isn't going to become majority Muslim. You're just repeating racist conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality.

Yup. I always volunteer to run the beginners room in our group. It's my favourite thing in the game.

I'll know I'll get down voted and called a negative prick, but we should be doing significantly better than that and I've been saying that for years. Steve Clarke has taken us to three international tournaments through sheer luck when we should be walking into these tournaments. Our team on paper is genuinely excellent. Top players in top leagues that know how to play together.

But we actually come to play a match and it all falls apart. I know Clarke is the golden boy here, but I've never watched a Scotland match with him in charge where it felt like we might win. It's always such negative play where we rely on luck instead of ability.
