A rare experience for me today - being disappointed that I wasn't wrong about something.
Still, what a lot of great memories to take from this campaign; it's just a pity that it'll be almost a year before another meaningful Scotland game. And it was absolutely fantastic that so many fans stayed to wait for a lap of honour after yesterday's match, despite the result. So the Tartan Army do have a sense of reality, after all. The players deserved it, too.
So it'll be at least another two years before a Scotland side is at a major tournament. We've waited 10 years already, though, and it'll make the 2010 world cup all the sweeter. Particularly when we win it.
I can dream, can't I?

In some ways it was our best performance yet. The early goal meant we couldn't sit back the way did against France twice, we took the game to Italy and carved them open on a few occasions.
ReplyDeleteI don't think i'll ever know what the linesman saw that compelled him to give that free-kick. Hutton looked genuinely world class though.
