He was completely knocked out cold and on the reply I was looking at the Hungarian guy running closest to Ralston and Gunn, but it wasn't him that got hit. Same, couldn't work it out. Can only imagine he had a flailing arm or knee hit him on the way down? Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 23 Subscriber Posted June 23 Somebody said Gunn caught his temple with his elbow. Didn't really see anything myself. Hope above all else that the guy is alright. It didn't sound good. Credit to the players carrying on the game so soon after because it sounded and looked quite traumatic. Quote
Gunnersaurus Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Was that a penalty for Scotland? Looked like the Scottish player bought the Hungarian down to me Quote
Inverted Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Not impossible but would have been a soft penalty. There was a bit of mutual pulling but once its not given by the ref, you're never going to get that on a VAR review. Quote

I was saying that the other day it wasn't a 'great result' to only get a draw. It was 'better' for them to win in their penultimate group game as opposed to leave it til the final group game where the pressure is higher. When you lose your first match, the next 2 matches are going to be high pressure matches and the odds of the Scots beating the Hungarians is higher than beating the Swiss. This match against the Hungarians was probably the only match that the Scots would have thought they have some chance of beating before the tournament. We have to take the opposition into account, otherwise we could also say that it wasn't a great result to lose to Germany. Quote

Scotland played well vs Switzerland and had their chances to win. It would have been better going into tonight's game if they had 3 points on the board as opposed to 1. As it turns out, they had 1 point going into tonight's game, having to win to give them the best chance to qualify. A draw is not likely to be enough, therefore the pressure mounts and becomes higher that they need to win. To be honest I don't think you'll ever get my perspective so let's leave it there Quote

Armstrong plays for it somewhat, but Orban does clatter into the back of his leg. Quote

You've totally ignored what I just said Whether it's a good result or not, I'm saying they had the chance to take 3 points given the performance they put in, regardless of opposition, and that would have put them in a better position going into tonight's game...

Teams have chances, it's about putting it in the back of the net. They've had chances in this match, teams always get chances. You said that the result against the Swiss was not a good result for Scotland before, didn't you? After I commented that it was a good result. Anyway, I thought we were going to leave it lol. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 23 Author Administrator Posted June 23 Hungary score!! Scotland are out. Last minute goal. Quote

Michael Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Csoboth scores deep in injury time to give Hungary the vital win they needed! Scotland 0-1 Hungary Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 23 Subscriber Posted June 23 Yeah I thought that was a penalty before for Scotland. Shame for them. Perpetual pain of just not having quite enough quality to compete at this level. Also feel like the quality they do produce is either in defence or out and out goalscorers. Lack of creativity really limits how you can hurt other teams at this level. Support was top notch though. 1 Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 23 Author Administrator Posted June 23 That was dire from Scotland. Didn't even look like winning at any stage. Hungary had slightly more chances and quality of them, probably just about deserve the win. Suppose having to rely on Che Adams leading the line for you doesn't give you the best chance at all to progress. Quote
Inverted Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Yeah, get Clarke out. Basically didn't make a single chance in a must-win game against broadly equal opposition until 90+ minutes, and even then, only did it by throwing on half a team of forwards and abandoning any sense of a shape. Quote
Michael Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Schafer and Szoboszlai both forced Gunn into saves with shots late in the game and Csoboth also hit the post late on in the game. So Csoboth's last minute goal was coming. Hungary will hope to make the Round of 16 after finishing 3rd in the group, but it's a waiting game to see how other results go, to know if they definitely advance. Quote

Michael Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Scotland are out, it's a shame for their fans, but they were always ranked the weakest team in the group, so we shouldn't be too surprised. Scotland have the oldest team at Euro 2024, you would have thought their experience would have helped them a bit more, but the other sides in the group are clearly better than them. On a serious note, lets all hope that Varga gets a full recovery. Quote
Machado Posted June 23 Posted June 23 This is the draw right now if everything stays the same. The green ones are confirmed. Group A closed plus Spain. Not looking too bad for England if they finish first. Quote
