The world cup 1986 will never be repeated

Shame we got beat, My spirits were lifted though, When I went to see Simple minds @ Ibrox stadium, Glasgow, Two days later, An amazing gig.

Bloody hell...big Roy was on by about 2 yards. Billy McNeill must've been half cut when he says the ref/linesman got it right. Shocking call!

I had forgotten about those shorts

i live in front of that stadium, now it's barely used and not even for football matches.

Have a nice day. Thank you so much for the nice video. Enjoyed and liked of course. Baku city

Re: the offside issue mentioned several times below: If you pause during the replay at 5:32, the moment the ball is played, you can clearly see that the Danish player nearest to the linesman is playing all of the Scotland players in the Danish box onside. It would appear that the linesman called it offside because he was looking further into the box and sees Aitken 'offside' with regard to the two Danish defenders retreating from the penalty box. He therefore misses the situation right in front of him. Human error, there have been worse decisions. Overall though, you make your own luck, and Scotland were justly punished for allowing Denmark countless times too much space in advanced central positions. Great skill by Laudrup in the 1st half, but should never have been given time to receive the ball and compose himself. Arnesen had 3 or 4 clear shots from outside the area and on another day one of them could have flown in, and then it wouldn't have mattered if Aitken's goal had stood.

Yes incompetent officiating. The Scots had some great generations of players, but never quite managed to put it all together when it mattered, and were let down by some shocking defending at times. Gave the Germans two very soft goals in the next game.

If you pause at 5:33 you will see that Aitken's goal was far from being offside. Denmark were lucky.

El estadio Neza que alguna vez albergo una copa del mundo,hoy no tiene equipo

One of several world cups where Scotland have performed well but had zero luck. The Scots were the better team in every game they played that tournament.

Would it have made the vital difference for Scotland if Kenny Dalglish had been fit to play?

You can hear danish commentator Sven Gehrs in the background, when Elkjær scores...

Yup. That wasn't offisde!!

En la serie, compartimos con Alemania (1-1), Dinamarca (1-6) y Escocia (0-0), clasificamos con 2 pts........cruce con Argentina (0-1) y afuera !!! En este partido, le anulan mal un gol a Escocia y se ve claramente que el línea está mal ubicado y que cuando parte el pase, hay un jugador de Dinamarca que sale tarde y habilita a todos.....gracias a ese error, clasificó Uruguay!!!!

fue en el estadio Neza 86 ,tuve la oportunidad de ir a mirar.

Wonderful team of Scotland, but the results were so disappointing. Just like Portugal, another wonderful team of its time. Looking forward 4 years, it could have been Ireland's tournament. I wish I had lived through those times, I wish I was born in the 50s :(

The way the Danes bypased the Scottish midfield with ease for their goal was shocking. I've seen better defensive shape in a Pub Team.

1-0 Preben Elkjær Larsen (57 min)

i wishd id had old denmark jersey

Souness was so bad in this game..he was bypassed with ease so many times

Watched this match as a ten yeae old, I seem to recall Charlie Nicholas breaking his leg in this match, can anyone confirm?

Scottish players didn't know what should they do for qualifying to the nest round...after death of Jock stien they had been lost....however...we wish to scotland to qualify to the world cup QATAR 2022 ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That was not offside, this should have been a draw and that would have put Scotland through in 3rd place to face Argentina. Which I think they deserved. Uruguay was the worst team in that group. Denmark, Scotland and Germany were really at very similar strength I think and Germany made it to the final. A shame for both of these 2 teams who were strong enough to have beat anyone that year. A year England got robbed too against Argentina, but with so small margins which could have seen both Denmark, Scotland, England, Spain, France, Soviet Union, Brazil and Belgium win it that year if not for some questionable refereeing.

Merecia mejor suerte en México 86 Escocia tal vez en otro grupo le hubiese ido mejor

5:50 goal line technology fail

Gol escocia no offside

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi Rasmussen avait été remplacé par Hoag.

Although heroes I was never 100 per cent happy with McLeish and Miller , and Malpas and Nicol The midfield was mixed , Strachan being brilliant Nicholas was good

Nicholas played poor ,
