Just for a minute there I was picturing Laurel and Hardy's confederate Billy Gilbert.................

Looking at the pre ordained set up of the round of 16 I think we need a Proper Chap agreement with the Czechs for a bore draw to shut out the Sweaties and Croatia leaving them to fight for a best four third place spot. And to avoid meeting a team from the group of death.

Yep, a negative thing to say but I cannot see what we have to gain by winning the group...second place is fine.

Whatever , we’re still not good enough. First really good team and we’ll roll over for our tummy to be tickled and they’ll boot us firmly in the derrière.

True. France and Belgium look streets ahead of us.

I'm still struggling to understand why, when one Scotland player gets Covid, two England (and no other Jocks) have to isolate.

Surely, logically, since they train and socialise together the whole Scottish squad should be quarantined. I'm sure, had the boot been on the other foot, (and especially with the positions within the group) Ms Sturgeon would have been howling in full McBanshee mode for the compete expulsion of the England team from the rest of the competition?
