Scotland had not qualified for a major finals since the 1998 World Cup, but it was announced that Euro 2016 will be made up of 24 nations, an increase from 16 previously (that is 8 more, Glasgow residents) thanks to a proposal put forward by the Scottish and Irish football associations. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/7636495.stm

Very clever these people.


Scotland were drawn in qualifying group D with the World Champs Germany, along with Ireland, Poland, Georgia, and Gibraltar. No easy matches here!




In the first match Scotland faced Germany away, and only barely lost

Next up was Georgia. A huge win for Scotland. Georgia came up to Glasgow and got their asses handed to them to the tune of 1-0 thanks to this goal

and Scotland is off to the races.

The 3rd match was a tough one away to Poland. Scotland was winning til 76 mins but then they gave up a goal and drew 2-2. A credible result for the lads! Och!

Scotland then beat Ireland 1-0 with a sweet curler off a sick corner routine here. Pish!

After beating Gibraltar 6-1

the table looked like this





Sadly they had to play 5 more matches, can't find any news on the results, but according to wikipedia, Scotland did not qualify. What the hell? You're telling me all the other fake British
"countries" made it, even Wales, and Scotland didn't? Anti Scottish conspiracy? You be the judge.

Here is how it ended up:



People all around Scotland were dejected at the result:









It looked for a while like Euro 2016 would be deprived of fat, pale, unintelligible men in dresses, but I've recently read that quite a few UK D&D posters plan on attending.


Scotland will be missed, but we can now look on the bright side, World Cup 2018 qualifying, where Scotland currently stands unbeaten

The powerful Irish lobby that has infiltrated Scottish football relegated Rangers so that no good home grown players could get in the Scotland squad, ensuring the RoI team could get their third place.

"I'll be in Bordeaux tomorrow to see Wales against Slovakia and I know I'll get betting all kinds of stick from the Welsh fans," Strachan said.

"That's why I've already looked out my disguise. If anyone sees a Japanese navy admiral walking to the stadium, get out of his way and give the man a bit of peace.

"The truth is, the closer the kick-off gets, the more difficult it is for me to watch any of it.

"I'll nip in and watch the games and then nip out again because I am not going to enjoy any part of it."

All Scots are racist.
