@footballcliches.bsky.social Landed in Spain earlier and realised my first tentative "gracias" at passport control is a bit like a goalkeeper getting a touch of the ball early in a big game. Settles the nerves.

Was just listening to New Order's 2001 single "Crystal" and was taken right out of it by an instance of "iconic football commentary in things" at 29 seconds. It's a common phrase, and not even the right one, but the intonation and timing is spot on. m.youtube.com/watch?v=KVMy...

In both Adelaide and Brisbane it was also notable that there were loads of Christmas events put on by the cities, completely free rather than sublet out to private companies. Even at tourist attractions it was refreshing to not feel like everything was an opportunity to empty your pockets.

Just back from 3 weeks in Australia, and while I'm sure they have their own problems, it really highlighted the state of the UK at the moment. Proper investment in infrastructure, pricing to encourage people on to public transport (50c per journey in Brisbane, regardless of mode or distance).

Craig Anderson @craig-killie.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Obviously if a pitch is unplayable (or has a high probability of being), the conditions around the actual stadium are bad, or a team can't get there, fair enough. But do we really want to be starting to call games off if a handful of away fans might not be able to make it?

Craig Anderson @craig-killie.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Probably my most "old man yells at clouds" view is about whether we really need to expect the whole country to grind to a halt if there's some slightly bad weather. A lot of people willing football games to be called off because of bad roads 100 miles away or whatever.

Would imagine the South American sides would be their first choice as invitees, but after them there wouldn't be many teams with a bigger support out there I'd guess.

Craig Anderson @craig-killie.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Chance to get further major tournament experience, and also in the same place as the World Cup which would help if we qualified. Downside is players getting a bit less rest.

Yes, but these domain names as part of handles look terrible and I'll be amazed if they're not gone within months.

Craig Anderson @craig-killie.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Going to float a daft idea here. Due to being in a 4 team group, Scotland won't have any qualifiers in June, but will be required by UEFA to play. The CONCACAF Gold Cup takes place in the summer in USA/Canada and has a space for an invited team. Lots of downsides, but could see many benefits.

🤓🚨 QUIZ TIME 🚨🤓 Since November 2004, Scotland have scored 20 meaningful goals in the last 10 minutes of *competitive games*. This is any goal that was scored from 80 minutes onwards which either equalised or put Scotland ahead. How many of the goalscorers (and opponents) can you name?

Looking at the other guys who have over 50 caps for us, I think it has to be.

Was just watching the goals back, guessed it would be the case and looked it up to check.

The 89 minutes and 18 seconds between John McGinn's opener and Andy Robertson's winner is the biggest gap between two consecutive goals in the same game in the 152 year history of the Scotland Men's National Team.

Craig Anderson @craig-killie.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

That seems the most likely, though I did see a suggestion UEFA might have to fiddle with the seedings because of certain teams (including us) needing to be in a 4 team group.

One of the downsides of the migration is the loss of the ability to keep receipts, so I'll have to do this.

Craig Anderson @craig-killie.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

That is an incredible goal to win it, excellent character from the team to keep going, and who knows how important it will be in terms of staying up in this group.

McKenna was part of it for longer than Hanley

Conway was fine with a hard shift but think this is more of a Dykes game against a fairly physical team.

Craig Anderson @craig-killie.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Happy with the rest but really don't understand Hanley playing ahead of McKenna. Thought he was the right pick last month when McKenna isn't there, but felt we saw the difference between the two on Friday.

Thought the first half was atrocious, but second half was miles better and we thoroughly deserved that in the end. Rough around the edges but Doak is an absolute superstar. A joy to watch.
