Worst match of the Euros 2024 tourney!! However, that pk was a "stonewaller" in a match that Clarke clearly played to just win it in any way he could possibly do it and finally "kill" a quali bogey that has haunted Scotland and Scottish fitba for decades and decades and decades!!!!! That chance came with that diabolical denial of a certain pk where, to anybody who has any doubt re that awful decision - Orban has clearly caught the back of Armstrong's leg and brought him down (you can see it on a slow motion video rerun!!!) - Orban's facial expression of guilt was also a giveaway!!!!!! HE KNEW IT WAS A PENALTY!! We may not have deserved the win, but that was a real shitheid decision with astoundingly no VAR review of the incident!!!! It was the goal we needed and there was always only gonna be one goal in it!! Btw Clarke's tactics/strategy were totally unimpressive with no shots on target AGAIN!! But one can see what he was up to in his typical strategy of killing a game while eventually "nicking it", all going well with the type of strategy he deploys. His post-match attack on an Argentinian referee being used in a Euros tourney a bit odd - "Why is he not a Euro ref as expected" said Clarke??? "He got the big decision wrong"??? Argentinian referee, a British team, ensuring that team is given no advantage like a pk that is actually a "stonewaller", coupled with no VAR review to confirm the leg contact that toppled Stuart Armstrong. Is that what Clarke is implicitly inferring??? We'll never know!! Anyway, the quali bogey irritatingly haunts Scotland and make no mistake - that punchless Hungarian team was there to be beaten tonight by a semi-decent positive attacking side with a solid commitment to win a game much like Belgium yesterday: obviously a far better side than Scotland, but magnificent in the effort and outright commitment to stifle a vg Rumanian team and absolutely "bust a gut" to make sure they were gonna beat them under difficult group circumstances - hugely impressive!!!
