If Scotland had a half decent striker they’d be at least drawing this game.

Commentators talking up Nisbit coming on as a goal threat…yeah maybe against SPL opposition occasionally but not quite the same when you’re actually playing against international standard players (of which most of the SPL aren’t).
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?

This. Scotland gave it a good go and the scoreline is a bit harsh on them, but the Czechs took their chances and the Scots didn't.

Maybe a creator too. Fraser looked decent when he came on. But everything comes from Robertson

Is there a list anywhere of how many players from each PL club are represented at EURO 2020? We've got 4, which is apparently our best representation for some time but seems very low!

I wonder how comparable clubs / competitors based on where we are in the table e.g. Brighton, Palace compare?

Created chances the Scots but not good enough. Will be punished even more vs Croatia and England but I expect they will sit deeper.

Just had a meeting with a colleague in Denmark and were talking about what happened with Eriksen.

On Danish TV as soon as it was clear what was unfolding they cut away to a long range helicopter shot of the stadium so you couldn't see what was going on. Yet some people still believe the BBC bollocks saying it wasn't their choice and they had to use broadcaster footage.
My wife and I were mad that the producer kept cutting to camera shots of Eriksen and the team surrounding him, and even the commentators repetedly spoke of the players circling him to provide privacy - which seemed like their way at telling the producers to provide the privacy. All this to say, it wasn't specific to BBC, the Canadian (TSN) and American (ESPN) feeds also had the same issue, and I imagine it was that way around the world. Which isn't my way of excusing the BBC, but rather to say it was a widespread issue not unique to them. I do imagine in Denmark that had additional domestically produced shots, like the long-range helicopter footage you referred to - that nobody else had availability to.

Personally I wanted something to continue airing so they could at least provide an update as soon as they saw him conscious or their was good news to potentially take from it, but I absolutely did not want the camera on him or his family until anything positive was confirmed.

Yeah I do think all the broadcasters were stuck between a rock and a hard place. Had the cameramen not filmed him (or his wife, f***ing hell) I don't think anyone would even be questioning it, because otherwise your only real option is just to go to the studio to try to fill without knowing anything. At least in the stadium you can't see how upset the commentator is compared to sticking cameras on Lineker and Alex Scott as they try to process it.

Sweden need to get Krafth on, he’s used to playing for a team who doesn’t have the ball.
