King Kenny, the shark Joe Jordan, Gemmil and others: Scotland was a good team ! From Italy 🇮🇹🏴
Yes, but Italy was better though. From Austria!
Daglish excellent player
We still never got out group, nothing changed in 43 years since :/ I'm 46 and don't think I'll ever see it lol
@@clemensgruber7278 Someone's salty because Scotland beat Austria in September :D
No, I'm simply a big Fan of Italy🌞
But Scotland lost to Belgium at home weich deines us qualifying for Euro 1980😱
I'm English, but that Scotland kit is iconic....Umbro diamonds everywhere
Even AC/DC wore the shirts back in the day.....
And as for the Welsh kit....another classic.....Remember the Coventry City brown away kit ???
Scotland has the best kit in the World Cup !!
That and the tartan hats and jeans ! Classic fans
Joe Jordan was a monster at corners and McQueen
I painted a subuteo team in a rainbow Wales/ Coventry strip. They were the international Multiracial Allstars; painted coloured players. My A team! P.s it’s fine being English, ya bawbag!
Wales kit was beautiful as was the Scotland one. Wanted a Scotland shirt in Stirling but only had the white away shirt! Admiral kits were gorgeous though.
How did we muck up the Scotland Kit? P.S. Yes, I do remember the Coventry City 2nd Kit, Brown!🤔
I love these videos and the vintage classic football
Not to mention the outstanding haircuts!
I remember watching the Wales vs Scotland game- very critical game. The penalty was pretty controversial- I believe Big Joe touched the ball.. a Maradona special… anyway a tough game. Wales has a strong squad: Flynn, Toshack, Yorath, Jones etc no easy side w a very memorable jersey-classic! The Czechs were a formidable side w/great pedigree, which they still have today! Big thanks on the channel!!
But now seeing scotland was denied 2 penalties in hampden...seems justice served
Thanks big man!
@@HeavyH2006 u r welcome. At 5' 6"...i am as wee as strachan
@@weetak
But being denied a penalty due to a referee's poor decision is quite different Jordan's deliberate cheat.
@@thevillaaston7811 you hv a point hence the 2 denial compensate 1 blatant error...i think the jocks would take it and the welsh not having it
The goal by Dalglish against Wales makes for a really interesting pub quiz question -
Who scored for the away team on his home ground yet it was not an own goal?
Although it was a home game for Wales, it was switched to Anfield from Ninian Park in Cardiff because of previous crowd disorder involving Wales supporters. Anfield was Dalglish’s home ground at the time since he was playing for Liverpool however in this game he was playing for the away team - Scotland. 🙂
Well color wise it was like playing vs Liverpool lol
It wouldn't have been an own goal technically Sharad 🤔
As far as i remember this Scottish team was the best of all times...brave and strong..11 warriors on the field...👍👍🇸🇻🇸🇻
as far as I remember they went on to win the world cup they were that good
02:30 Danny Mcgrain doing his best 'Road-Runner' impression !!
'Fonzie' was class.
Beep beep!
What an incredible amount of world class players we had back then! I'd almost forgotten. If we had one or two of their like now we'd be pretty damn good!
Danny McGrain was an absolute beast at RB... I'm more of a Gers man, but what a player 👏🙌👌
utterly superb
@@stuartjinnes1 'Fonzie' was a great loss to the team in '78.
And Jardine on other side? Fullbacks for peace!
Recuerdo muy bien ese gran partido Enel mundial acá en Argentina
ESCOCIA 3 HOLANDA 2
EXTRAORDINARIO gol de Gémmil
Le faltaba 1 gol y clasificaba Escocia
Un GRAN EQUIPO ESCOCIA 78
Some terrific players and great goals in these games but, God, we were jammy. God knows how we got the idea we could win in Argentina!
Totally agree - I was devastated in '78 but looking at the qualifiers the signs were there. I thought here that Dalglish and Rioch looked the part but very workmanlike otherwise
I was 11 years old. I totally bought into the hype. Happy days.
If we'd actually been able to field that team in Argentina, we'd have been in contention for a medal. As it was, only one of the back four was able to start in the opening match against Peru and we had a makeshift defence.
McGrain. One of the greatest defenders ever!!!
Great goal from Dalglish at Anfield.
why Anfield????
@@seanbonella The Welsh FA thought they would get a bigger crowd than in Wales.
Always great to see Scotland stuffing the Welsh.
Great Jordan, King Kenny, Artist Gemmill...🏴❤🇷🇸
"King Kenny" played about 20 decent games for Scotland, out of his 100 caps.
@@iananderson3799 Unfortunately, I agree.
@@iananderson3799 that was because they never built the team around him. Unfortunately, Scotland played the long ball game to the head of Jordan rather than to the feet of Dalglish.
@@MarkHewitt In his autobiography, Kenny admitted he was poor for Scotland because he was always too scared to try anything special in case it never came off. That being said, I was at Hampden to see his goal against Spain in 1984...and that was pretty special.
@@iananderson3799 That is Kenny being Kenny. But you have to admit if the first target is Jordan's head then you need a nippy striker to fight for the second ball. Dalglish was swift of thought not swift of feet.
England managers have done the same many times. So have Scotland (I.e. Jim Baxter).
Uno de los goles más extraordinarios de los mundiales , un poema al futbol, lo hizo Escocia a Holanda , Gemmil
Lucky enough to have been at Annfield for the Wales Game...in the kop end
Czechoslovakia were European champions at the time
Yup, their missed qualification came as a big surprise.
@@frankwells7520 Well, 3 very strong teams and only one could qualify. England and Belgium also missed that tournament.
But in bad form then.
@@clemensgruber7278 Yugoslavia, too
Scotland also knocked Czechoslovakia out of the 1974 World Cup at the qualifying stage. In between Czechoslovakia won the European Championship beating West Germany in the final on penalties (I think that might have been the first major trophy decided that way).
Great team we had but the team didn't fulfill their potential . We didn't do our homework on Peru or prepare properly for that match and the rest is history.
Failure to beat Iran too
@@weetak that was more like a hangover from the Peru disappointment.
The 82 team was even better
I WAS AT ANFIELD WATCHING THE GAME BETWEEN WALES AND SCOTLAND AND JORDAN DEFINITELY HANDLED THE BALL AND TO THIS DAY HE STILL DENIED IT
He should have said it was the hand of William Wallace!
Se creía en su momento que iban a ser campeones del mundo, es lo que se decía en Escocia
Buen conjunto tenían, pero creo que echaron en falta a Gordon McQueen en defenss
Great watch, great action particularly Scotland win v the Czechoslovakia. First time I’ve ever seen the game at Anfield with BBC Wales commentator Idwal Robling’s voice; usually seen it with the Scottish commentators. He was right about the first goal - it should never have been a penalty.
So, that time Chile did not make it to that cup. Peru did instead. I was heart broken, but when I saw Scotland vs Peru I cheered for the Scots. Well, they lost. But what a team they were. I was a small kid then. I thought of how athletic those players were. Peru ended up selling themselves up to Argentina for $$$ so they could reach the finals and leave Brasil out. It was a corrupt tournament anyway
Perú $$
Peru were a central American team & not too be taken lightly, but the players did & got stuffed & it went from bad to worse, but hey England didn't get to both the 74 & 78 WCs so stick that into the English roast beef.
Toshack had great feet for big man.
This is what World Cup qualifying should be like today, smaller groups where every game matters, no games against minnows like Gibraltar or San Marino.
The best squad we ever had.
1974 WC we didn't lose a match in the group stage & still came home early. Just can't make it up with the Scotland team. It's always a glorious disaster in the end but we love 'em.
The squad did a lap of honour at hampden on an open top bus before they left for Argentina. As usual they were home before the postcards.
Thomas moron Och youse are sae sae 'funny'??!.
It was 1745 again, so near yet so far eh Charlie boy!
Why did,nt McLeod take Andy Gray and Derek Parlane of Rangers to the World Cup, instead of Joe Harper and Lou macari? Bad decision.
They ended up getting drunk, playing football with a hangover, they believed their own hype, failed miserably. Should have at least made the last 8.
@@daveratcliffe1016 Nothing wrong with Lou, Andy Gray yes - Derek Parlane!!!! - a good player at club level. More to the point, why didn't Derek Johnstone start after 41 goals that season?
Ese team escocés era uno de los favoritos para estar entre los 4 primeros lugares en ese mundial del 78 en Argentina.pero se encontró con una selección peruana que con baile y remontada lo superó por 3a1 con dos golazos del gran Teófilo "nene"Cubillas en la fase de grupo de dicho mundial.arriba PERUUUU!¡!!
Czechoslovakia were the European champions in '76.
The best time ever 💓 💖 💕 ❤️
Increíble la multitud detrás del arquero de Gales, me gusta ver el fútbol británico especialmente los antiguos,. saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
I was at that game at anfield.supporting Wales
The ground was 98% full of Scots.
Scotland had every part of the stadium. Wales fans were in the kop with Scotland fans. A handful of police spent all the game trying to keep the fans apart. There was fighting throughout the game in the kop. It was terrifying. There was a nasty atmosphere throughout the game in the kop. When Scotland scored we decided to leave the ground while the jocks were celebrating, only to be chased outside by scousers chanting Merseyside la, la, la.
In 49 years supporting Cardiff city and Wales, i have never been that scared for my safety. And iv been to west ham, Millwall Leeds, Chelsea, spurs, man u and more.all in the 70s. Nothing comes close to that night in the kop.
Missed McGrain at wc78
I'm glad they were humiliated in Argentina, Jordans behavior against Wales was despicable, his manager and team mates turned a blind eye.
If i was welsh id have been pissed off as well but in the heat of the moment with so much at stake did you expect them to admit to the ref who had handled the ball? There are plenty if examples of teams/players getting away with wrong decisions. Ultimately its on the refs and linesmen to notice.
@@tonygunk8261 Ramsey would have sacked him for such gross dishonesty. Ultimately cheats never prosper
@@JC57515 he didnt sack geoff hurst for claiming a goal that didnt cross the line...
@@tonygunk8261 yawn, the linesman gave it not Hurst
@@johnmudd6453 yes and the ref awarded the penalty not jordan.
There was a trivia question doing the rounds at the time ,what player signed for Liverpool but made his debut at Anfield for the away team,apparently it was Dalglish but not sure it’s true or not….🤔
Alan Hansen.
Joe Jordan aveva un elevazione pazzesca negli stacchi aerei pur essendo alto 1,86 cm ovvio che a quei tempi svettasse su molti difensori più bassi o della stessa altezza ma sono convinto che anche con difensori alti come adesso anche di 10 cm in più li metterebbe in seria difficoltà perché aveva molto tempismo
Magnifique équipe d'Ecosse
Poor Ally MacLeod. Felt sorry for him as he buried his head into his hands. Classic shot of him. He did get us there & the players didn't perform until last match. So let's not be too hard on him. A nice guy & a fair manager all round.
Yes he was a nice guy and a gentleman but his arrogance in not watching the group opponents especially Iran and Peru before the tournament was his downfall
@@09weenic His selection policy was all the place too.
Scotland will never have a world class team like this again!....
it was not world class then, but a good team.
Wrong ...the 1982 was better.
@@sachsgs2509 You must be a baby because Scotland were 6/1 to win the 1978 world cup fact...never been so high and I watched a world class team who have never been bettered and just fell short ....
@@cliffheywood9224 It was a world class team !!!6/1 to win 1978:world cup....fact !!!!
@@davidchamberlain5425 compare it with the 82 team...
I'm waiting
Do i need to mention the players of 82?
Iam from saudia and i like history
Can you imagine VAR at that game? No penalty and Jordan sent off.
It did look like it might have been Jordan...but not one complaint from the Welsh guys...and there are stills that seem to show that it wasn't Jordan that handled the ball...only saying
Took us years to get over argentina
Lástima de 🇨🇿 que venía ser campeón de Europa. 🏴 y 🏴 un juego de toma y dame en ambos juegos, si 🏴 hubiera ganado vs 🏴 como local, dependía de sí mismo pero lograron los escoceses y calificaron al mundial de manera sufrida en los últimos minutos. 🏴 hizo sufrir a 🇳🇱 en el mundial 1978, aunque ganó el juego pero por diferencia de goles fue perjudicado, 🏴 quedó al borde de la eliminación tras el empate vs 🇮🇷. Excelentes recopilaciones de las eliminatorias al mundial.
Big Joe never took dives like that playing for my school team St. Aidans High in Wishaw.
Grande Scozia
rip Joe Jordan, headering at a time when a wet ball weighed 5 stone. legend.
Gordon McQueen died not Jordan.
Is 2-0 away from home a "heavy defeat"? Gerry McNee at his slavering best. 😛
Best Scotland team that made world cup.
The Scottish team was great at that time .
there were players in that team who would be worth a fortune today.
Please, someone, help me with my decades of uncertainty... back in these days I could only see these matches in black-and-white on tv - and in color magazines sometimes it seemed the Scottish team wore black jerseys and sometimes the same jerseyes seemed a very dark blue. I could never be sure... the Scottish team never in fact wore black jerseys, right?
Always dark blue.
18:21 The thinnest goal bar pn football history
Dalglish would be sent off today for the challenge on keeper.
Never understood why the Scottish national side never seemed to do brilliantly. They had so many world class players at club level.
Too reliant on an aerial attack when all the best teams were playing at ground level. The British style of play didn’t really change until more international players came into the Div 1 and eventually EPL.
We were lucky to have Brian Clough at Forest. He was a great believer in playing football on the ground. I think three of the Scottish squad were Forest players. Archie Gemmil, Kenny Burns, John Robertson. Robbo was an amazing player.
Willy Jonston was unfairly sacked after Match against Peru for too much "caffeine" in blood!! Just Outrageous!! Absolutely insane !! This unsettled the team. But players like Hutchinson, Lou Macari, Souness should have been brought in. Ally MacLeod selection played without imagination against Iran drawing 1-1. They had to win their next match against Holland by 3-0 or bust! With Souness in, they played their best football and beat Holland 3-2 but couldn't make round two. Sadly Scotland went home because of the coach's blunders! So many talented players just wasted away !!
McLeod was clueless. A spoofer. Jock Stein would have got that team to quarters or semi final place. Imagine leaving Souness, Macari out. Madness
@@tomellis4324 macari never performed in a Scotland shirt,not in the same class as Kenny Dalglish,Derek Parlane,Derek johnstone both of whom should have played,Mcleod did,nt seem to like Rangers players.
@@daveratcliffe1016 that’s utter garbage and I’m a Gers fan
Wasn't this the, we want our my back WC?? Peru n Iraq ????? 😂😂😂😂
@santhanaraj5863
Macari played against Peru (and he was shite.) His major contribution was ducking out of the wall when Peru scored directly from a free-kick.
Peru les dio un verdadero baile en el mundial del 78
Peru $$ Argentina
Si pero Perú se le vendió a argentina y ya todos sabemos lo que pasó f por Perú 🇵🇪 y de pasó argentina ya tenía ese mundial de 1978 comprado f también por la tramposa y corrupta argentina 👎🇦🇷
@@richardlascarrocure9493 eso no esta comprobado es solo especulaciones . por como avanzo
@@xtremegold2950 todo el mundo sabe que el mundial de argentina 🇦🇷 1978 fue arreglado para que argentina fuera el campeón del mundo en ese mundial el único que no lo reconoce eres tú y seguro que tú eres argentino
Still laugh about it now,45 years later.
danny mcgrain!
The second time against Czechoslovakia - it was already the European champion.Say thank you to the Welsh Celtic brothers for beating Czechoslovakia.
If only Jock Stein or Alex Ferguson was in charge at Argentina 78! 🇦🇷
With that squad Scotland would have had a real chance rather than what happened under Ally MacLeod 😳
Alex Ferguson was only really starting out in management at that time
Easy to see why Scotland were seen as one of the favourites in Argentina after topping a tough group containing Czechoslovakia (the European champions) and Wales, who had reached the last eight of that 1976 tournament won by Czechoslovakia. Both teams would have been sick of the sight of Joe Jordan at the end!
If anyone had bothered to think about it, Scotland's position as one of the favourites was based on turning over Czechoslovakia (who were not the team of the previous year), in the autumn at Hampden Park. There's a big difference between that and taking on the world's top teams in South America 9 months later.
Interesting
Them was the days when you had to be Scottish to play for Scotland.
What about Bruce Rioch?
@@wonjubhoy He’s the SON of a Scottish born mother & father so that in my opinion makes him very Scottish. He just entered the world when away from his homeland.
Scotland had some very talented players, but they were always too predictable. The attack was much too aerial which meant they relied too heavily on a # 9. When that didn’t work they didn’t have a plan B. England used to play much the same way.
I see Craig burley
Alan Rough lol
Our biggest failure was Alan Rough as I was wondering why Peter Latchford or McCloy weren't in net as both were used to the big stage in Scotland, Rough was shit as when he got thoroughly tested he bottled it.
Rough was not up to international standards but I will defend him as he was a part time-keeper and McLeod knew this, and in the game against Peru he actually saved Scotland from a bigger defeat.
For one thing, Latchford was English so selecting him would have got Scotland disqualified!
Truly a brilliant Scotland team but Scottish FA comitted suicide by stupidly and unfairly banning influential Captain, Billy Bremner for life in 1976 for a silly scuffle in a bar! Scotland's hope got buried by that unforgivable, suicidal decision. The Scots sorely missed Bremner's inspiration, influence, and leadership in the World Cup. To make matters worse, the FA appointed Ally Macload who messed up the team selections, leaving out key players, Tommy Hutchinson, Peter Lorimer, Jimmy Jonston. Jock Stein should have been the team manager for the World Cup.
Johnstone, Lorimer and Bremner were all way past their best by 1978.
@@iananderson3799 Maybe Jonston but Hutchinson & Bremner were indispensable and were still in good form. Graham Souness was brought in only for the third match against Holland which Scotland won 3-2 with Archie Gemill's memorable goal! Ally MacLeod wasted all those super talents. Jock Stein should have been the manager!
@@santhanaraj5863 Yes, but Jock had his bookie debts to pay, hence taking the Leeds job.
@@iananderson3799 No, Jock never went to Leeds. Don Revie was replaced by that obnoxious arrogant Leeds hater, Brian Clough and all hell broke loose at Leeds. He lasted only 40 days than sacked!
@@santhanaraj5863 JS went to Leeds in 1978.
I was actually worried that they could win the world cup with that team, great midfield. When they did their lap of honor at Hampden before leaving I was full of dread. No need to worry first plane home as usual, karma for the lap of honor!
they couldnt even beat Iran that was going thru Islamic revolution, lol
One word;Corrupt.
Christ, you’ve got it bad.. talk about grudges.
@@B.Precision That was a year layer in 1979.
@polaris7122
The so-called "lap of honour" at Hampden was on the advice of the Strathclyde Police who were worried that Glasgow Airport wouldn't be able to function if thousands of supporters turned to see the squad fly out. It was therefore decided to open Hampden beforehand so that the fans could give the team a send-off before they went to the airport.
Back when you was allowed to tackle
Johnstone, - remember, - back go home duet to doping.
You don’t get qualifying groups like that now.
Yup, it's Iceland, Greenland & any other place smaller than Scotland that kicks us in the bollocks. These qualifying groups now go on for ever & I just lose interest by time finals arrive.
Peru, Iran, anyone?
Just 4 games to get to the world cup, and no need to play Andorra, San Marino or Gibraltar. Damn shame they came up against the superpowers if iran and Peru.......
Those pigeons from Peru soon sorted this lot out
And as for the Joe Jordan hand ball at Anfield will always be remembered
Dry your eyes taff.
Footage from 1890s New York City is clearer than this. Get your techs on side...clean the camera lens.
Remarkable how Scottish the Celtic players were back then, the Billy’s, Jimmy’s, Danny’s, and so on on. It seems good Scottish Catholics back then were proud to be Scottish, and didn’t name their children the likes of Aiden and other pseudo-Irish names.
You can tell be their qualities as men, as well, compared to their cretins today.
Rangers fan here, as you may have guessed.
That bloody awful song and Ally McLeod’s hubris, water the defining moments of that campaign 🤣
Better than England in 74 & 78! It was good while it lasted & Ally gave us hope. We are a small nation of 5 million but produced so many great players that English teams needed to win anything. The players were at fault not Ally. He was a good man & overall a good manager. Should have took Alex Ferguson with him.
@@seltaeb9691 You're joking, McLeod was way out of his depth.
scoAAs went to werld cup to draw vs RII !!
"We're coming back wi' Allie's Army, we're coming back frae Argentine, and we're really shaken up, 'cause we've lost the World Cup, for Scotland are a crappy fitba team".
Scotland were robbed of blatant penalty awards in these highlights then given a penalty for Joe Jordan's handball in the Wales box! It might be karma but refereeing in 1978 suuuuuucked.
Scotland co beack
A very good team with a mediocre manager, an absolutely rubbish GK and players who believed their own hype.....who should have easily gone through the group stages.
bob wilson is blind...keeper me arse
I guess Wales bring their own referees.
Scotland were a great team. Pity they resorted to cheating against the Welsh.
Scotland should have had two penalties at Hampden.
How the fuck did Scotland get a penalty. Seriously like Scotland, but would of bottled Jordan that night .. Wales done twice ..thank fuck wasnt against Emgland . Be hand of God again 😊
Who takes 11strikers to a world cup ? 😂
Scotland 1....
Judging by their qualifying display, its little wonder Scotland failed miserably in Argentina.
Very true. They had a GOOD side not great and were handicapped by key players being injured and off the boil/past it by the summer and a manager who was out of his depth. He picked his old mates from Aberdeen - Bobby Clark and Joe Harper - PLEASE.
They played well against the Czechs and Welsh in the autumn of '77.
After very lucky qualifying - don't no why the jocks didn't throw the kitchen sink in .
Don't know why you bother to watch the video then. Troll. England didn't even qualify for 74 and 78 world cup
What are you talking about Engo
England were just as hopeless as Scotland during this era.
You had the players to have lifted 😆 the 78 WC , top midfielders coming out of Alleys arse , Dalglish Jordan Joe almost always turned up on the Big Occasions , maybe the Defeat to us knocked the stuffing out of your Boys , strange you had it All going for use , I think Bonnie Scotland got caught in the headlights - Pity Really as at that time you had us English behind use as well .
Cheated blatantly against Wales...karma came in the form of cubillas n Peru...n the Iranian s
Cheats
Oh dear, still greeting!
Cheating Jordan.
Boohoo.
