Have you ever seen conditions this bad???

Every Scottish football fan should be subscribed to this channel. Man goes above and beyond for promoting our game. Way more than most.

Credit to the ground staff who got it back on. A truly remarkable feat considering how bad the rain was. And another fantastic result for the Scottish national team. STEVE CLARKES TARTAN ARMY.

Ive been going to Scotland games for maybe 12 years now. The most bizarre game ever. I'm a wheelchair user, so I sit right at the front (you were pretty much directly behind me, obviously higher up though) and every single wheelchair user there got absolutely drenched. I went in to the kiosk in the first 20 mins break and I poured about a cm of water out of each trainer! Every item of clothing was soaking. The whole experience was unbelievable, but I loved every minute. The atmosphere was unlike anything I've experienced at Hampden before.

on this occasion i wouldn't be overly critical of the surface at hampden. In all my years i've never seen a downpour quite like that in Glasgow. Not sure any pitch in Scotland or anywhere could have handled that volume of water in such an intense short period of time.

Me and my son (his first Scotland game) enjoyed this rather eventful evening last night. Stayed to pretty much the end. Managed to get the last train from Mount Florida but missed our other train home by 5 mins. Expensive taxi ride home😂 but my son loved it and will probably remember it forever. 4 from 4 comon the lads!

6 days worth of rain in an hour - most grounds/pitches would've had the same issues. Once they cleared it and the rain stopped it improved a lot, so the ref made a good call in the end.

Last year, as Sparta fans, we drove 300 kilometers to Slovácko for the final of the Czech Cup. We were already at the stadium an hour before the game, but it had rained so much that the pitch was as wet as it is now at Hampden Park. In the end, they postponed the match two weeks later, so that day we were going back 300 kilometers back to Prague, and I was going another 150 kilometers from Prague to Trutnov, where I live. So I left at 10 in the morning for the match that was supposed to start at 5 in the afternoon, because of the wet pitch we waited an hour and it still didn't start. We went from Slovácko to Prague at 7 in the evening, where we were at 11 at night and I got home to Trutnov at 2 in the morning. So it was a very long trip full of beer, slivovice and other alcohol, but there was no football. 😂😂😂

What a bizarre night. Was gutted at having to leave Hampden 10 minutes into the second half to get the last train from Kings Park, but glad I managed to see both goals and was able to leave with a bit of peace of mind that we were in the lead. This video has made up for it though 🙂

Genuinely thought that was gonna get called off, hats off to the ground staff and the volunteers who done a cracking job 👌🏻👍🏻

Watching from Australia, but I did a two year stint in Scotland years ago and loved the country. Really enjoy this channel.

Great video. Thank you. You do more to promote Scottish football single handedly than the SFA. Cheers lad.

🚨BREAKING: Hampden ground staff finally drain Rodri's tears off the pitch

They had 6 days worth of rain fall in an hour. Not many pitches in the world could deal with that.

Why does it always rain on me 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The game went aheed and we won, Great stuff, No Scotland no party, Deutschland here we come! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✊️

I got caught in that rain at work, got drenched. Absolutely soaking driving home on the motorway at 30mph! Never seen so much rain fall in such a short space of time. I doubt any pitch would have handled that, so much credit to the ground staff. What amazed me is the amount of people who stayed back to near the end. Well done the Tartan Army! Also, thought we played some decent football despite the conditions. Oh, Germany, prepare yourselves for a party, the Scots are coming!

Thanks again for the video coverage, Sam. Ive said it on your other videos, you've single handedly done more for advertising Scottish football than the SFA have ever done. Cheers!

That rain was monsoon-like (as an Arizona resident, I've seen my fair share of those). I don't think any surface, anywhere, could have dealt with that much better. What really disappointed me was that no-one thought to go get more equipment to clear that water - brooms for the ball-boys? There were plenty of people eager to help, but there were no tools for them. Pitch not to blame, field staff were heroes, leadership were zeroes. Well done players and ground crew and well done to the fans who were able to stick it out (and commiserations to those forced to leave to catch trains, etc)

I was sitting a few rows infront of you with the “turnbull” top, was nice to meet you mate and great video once again 🙌

Hearing that Celtic U18 played Real Madrid U18 in Airdrie is what makes these videos so special.

An absolutely magical night last night. The delay just made it all the better. Wonderful entertainment and the most extreme heart from these boys. Well done lads. You're making us very, very proud.

We got absolutely soaked on the way into the stadium, the pitch at hampden definitely needs a change, but still worth it to watch Scotland get the 4-0 record

When the wee man said he was a rangers supporter but looking forward to seeing McGregor.....good boy!!! A refreshing attitude.

The guy with the man bun sweeping the pitch was man of the match 👏

Big love for the little man who said his favourite player was CalMac despite being a Gers fan. He's obviously being brought up right, not to let his allegiance cloud his judgement. Great footage

The last time I saw rain like that was in Mombasa during the rainy season. The Hampden pitch comes in for criticism and some of it is fair but no pitch in the world could handle such rainfall. Another great performance and result for us and I get the booing when the Georgians finally came out again but I noticed a bit of booing at the national anthem, I’ve been to a handful of Scotland matches recently (not this one) and it’s becoming common, there’s really no need and it doesn’t put us Scots in a good light.

Good video son ! You're now an honoury member of the clan !

Thanks again for your service Brother!!

For a national stadium, its a disgrace and embarrassment. It needs torn down and something better put in its place.

11:30 sums up Scottish optimism for me 😂

This guy is THE best ! Honest, impartial and a true love of Scottish Football

Think what you do for our game is amazing honestly!! Top notch 👌 DEE4LIFE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👊

Just like to say a big thank you . Long time Clyde supporter but lost interest in Scottish football about 10 years ago .Been watching your videos last few months and it has rekindled my interest .Moving back to Scotland soon and will make effort to go see the Bully wee .

I was there. Don’t think there would have been many pitches that would cope with that level of water. To make my night even more memorable, after the game we were stuck in a traffic jam 3 streets away from Hampden for over an hour, then the exit from the motorway to our part of the world was closed due to roadworks. Got home at 1.15AM. Not going to forget that game for a looong time.

I was at the game and I thought that the Georgian players were a disgrace refusing to come out to play. You should have heard the booing of the Georgian players, my god was it loud. Anyway the fans were fantastic (Best in Europe) and the players did superb.

Great summary of what happened at one of the most bizarre games I've ever been to. A huge contrast from Oslo 🥵🥵. Well done to all the staff and ballboys that got rid of a lot of water, as the crowd rocked to a DJ playing some great topical tunes. A great win that gets us that little bit closer to qualifying. Once the Georgians refused that time to come out, I think there minds had gone, hoping the game was abandoned. Comical in the stands with all the rumours going around about playing the next day at Love Street and the like 😂😂. After the game it took us an hour to get on the motorway, and got home to Aberdeen at 3am 😴😴. Quiet day at work, although did manage to book accommodation in Seville for the Spain game. Can't wait for this minidrama called Scotland to continue in Cyprus. Oh and this has happened before to Scotland, in 2004 against Spain in a friendly at Levante's ground in Valencia. The night before returning from the U21 game in the hills the heavens opened up and in no time there was about two foot of water on the streets. Then at the game Scotland took the lead before Spain equalised. Again the heavens opened up, and we were told the game would be delayed fifteen minutes. With three quarters of the stands being open all the locals disappeared. Then the lightening started, power cut and game abandoned. Funny sight watching a kilted footsoldier belly flopping/splashing on the half way line whilst getting chased by a reluctant steward 😂😂. Took three days for my kilt to dry.

great video, Sam, thanks again ... what a bizarre experience ... hope you survived it all 👍🌧

Oooh, I feel your pain. Once sat in a ground in France (in the dark) for over an hour with a floodlight failure - was knackered by the time it ended and then had to get back. Big wraps for sticking with it. Thought the seat + hospitality was decent value at £150: have been quoted more at Rugby League internationals!! Love your stuff: keep up the excellent work.

Scotland was taking so long to put up the highlights for this match (in the US I couldn't find a service to stream the match) so I came to your channel to see if you put anything up last night after the match. Was disappointed you didn't right after the match, but watching this I DEFINITELY understand why. Great video as usual. And as the guy said next to you: We'll take it one game at a time, but these games have all been great so far. Mon Scotland!!!

As an 11 year old Scottish boy I love the Scotland team. CMON SCOTLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Never seen rain like that in Glasgow, something like 15mm in an hour. Nothing you can do to prepare the pitch for that, all credit to the ground staff, ball boys and everyone else that got roped into sweeping off the water.

Another smashing result for the bold Scotland, love the video Sam & your channel in general. I do feel Hampden needs another upgrade as the fans for me are too far away from the pitch & I would love to see a retractable roof installed wihch would of mitigated last nights problems with torrential rain. Bless Steve Clarke for his massive turnaround in Scotlands performance, long may he reign.

As someone half English half Scottish it's great seeing both teams about to qualify. Really hope they don't play each other again or my life is gonna be a nightmare.

great quality reporting, thanks mate

keep it up love this!!

Only following this about 2 years now but quite possibly the best channel I ever discovered on this... top job mate, I look forward to new material

Top quality Sam. I walked the 20mins from my flat to the game and got drenched. Not sure if many pitches would have survived that weather. However once the rain stopped I was surprised in the length of time it took to drain away. Anyway keep up the good work and see you at Stair Park, Stranraer at some stage again.

Great video pal its just awesome what the teams doing so proud of my country

Best football vlog av seen bud great work ,new subscriber and coming from a man who used do live down south lol great m8 keep em coming 🙏

6 days worth of rain fell in 1 hour. Hampden can usually handle rain no problem but that's an extreme amount. All credit to the grounds staff and ball boys who managed to get the pitch into a playable condition.

Hey m8 love watching your vlogs you deserve the upmost success to your channel. Especially coming from an Englishman loving the Scottish game

Having just found this channel, I'm now subscribed. Will look back at past videos too. Like the best You tubers, his enthusiasm is contagious.

"I'm a rangers fan, but Callum McGregor" - my dad would cut me out the will if I picked a Hearts player as my favourite Scotland player, haha

Amazing video as ever mate. Love it.. ❤❤❤

The young Rangers fan was brilliant, saying he’s a Rangers fan but his favourite player is Calum MacGregor. 👍

I don’t think people understand how much rain fell last night. It was like mad tropical South American rain

Great vid keep up the great work Sam 👍👍

great clip credit to the ground staff etc, was watching on tv and it looked like the ref was doing his best to get it called off lol great that it went ahead

my first game at Hampden (first in Scotland in fact) and certainly one I will always remember 😅 also visited Cathkin Park on my walk up from the city centre as I remembered your video on it a few years ago

The main issue with the pitch is the few weeks of dry, warm weather has left the ground so dry it was physically impossible for it to absorb the amount of rain that came down in such a short space of time. All credit to the groundskeepers, ball boys and stewards for sweeping it and allowing the game to continue. It was a great atmosphere though, even when leaving at 11:30pm.

Really wish Ireland had a united team ...great way to bring folk together .

Some effort for the folk that stayed on. Was a long night watching from home!

I’m an Englishman who lives in Wales & I love these vids on Scotland (so they must be good vids) ❤

Steve Clarke's side reminds me of the Scotland teams from the 1970's. Qualification is theirs for the taking. I don't expect Scotland to come away with anything from their trip to Spain, so Scotland need to make sure they don't trip up in the other remaining games.

cracking video as per usual there was a game few year back that we beat san marino 6-0 and it was like a swimming pool aswell so i think its a hampden problem aswell here is hoping the redevelopment happens as it will be a great world stadium real heroes of the night have to be the ground staff

6 days worth of rain fell in an hour just before kickoff. Im not sure any pitch in the world would be able to handle that

The country with one of the highest rainfalls has a national stadium with inadequate protection from the rain ☔️, someone was cutting corners .

The green shirt and black t-shirt combo is back! It must be summer! ☀️😎 Also great video as always pal! 👊🏻

nice one Sam, good video! awra best big man

The full stadium needs a full update

Yeah this is just normal summertime weather up here in Scotland. Fantastic win by the lads in these conditions 💙

One of the guys I went to the game with last night is a grounds man (I won't say which club, incase he gets into trouble), and he told me the pitch at Hampden is an absolute disgrace, and always will be, because it do's not get properly maintained, due to a lack of SFA funding. He got all technical about grass growth, drainage and all sorts of other things, I didn't really understand, and said it would cost a few quid, but not as much as you would think, to fix it properly, but the SFA won't spend the money.

Video brilliant as usual Sam, I think the hospitality was a bit expensive for what you got.

Streamed the game in HD from my Hotel Balcony in Palma Majorca with a duty free Malt to keep good company, attrocious conditions but fantastic effort to make it more than playable after it eventually restarted. Supporter since the 70s and its been a long time coming to witnes a Scottish team competing like this but it is competing and winning games like the first 4 that you have to achieve if you want to go to the Euros or a World Cup with a chance of going deep into the competition and not just qualify by the skin of your teeth and then not surprisingly find yourself bottom or 2nd bottom of the group and out and it all quickly forgotten. So happy for all involved in Scottish football to see this level returning. I live & work in Germany so I wont even have to book a flight.

You really do us proud mate. 😎

always enjoy your videos : )

That was a heavy but short down fall of rain, I was under the impression they never expected that amount of rain and hosed the pitch down with water pre-match as it was dry all day. That was a massive amount of water they were taking back of considering the pitch should take sustained downpours. They watered the pitch down during their Euros 2021 so it would have likely been a tactical reason.

I'm actually surprised to hear so many English Voices, nice to hear them adopt Scotland over England obviously England would be easier to support

Enjoyed your videos 😊

I appreciate you're videos pal good on ye there a good watch

AMAZING LOVE THESE VIDS

So proud of my country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

people are forgetting there is a real possibility that we top the group come the end of qualifying which is fucking mental

Those bagpipes are just beautiful

Amazing to see how much it means to even yourself seeing Scotland win on yerself Sam

This incident just happened in Thailand When it rains the field floods But the match had to be cancelled because the water cannot be drained out in time

Hospitality looked pretty poor, and atmosphere in the posh seats nowhere near as good as the North Stand. Still, you got to see two sports - football and swimming.

The rain was crazy, a tad heavier than normal, fair play to the staff helping to get the game back on, No Scotland no party

Great video again.

Chelsea v Norwich somewhere between 1984 and 1987. I remember Steve Bruce playing and the ball sticking in a very large lake. Kid you not We ended up getting relegated on account of Coventry having 3 games in hand. How times have changed. Last time we were there I think we got walloped 7-0. Premier league ffs

Not sure where that rain came from? I’m over in East Lothian and it was pretty nice to be honest! Well done Scotland.

Walked in that rain for 30 mins to get to the stadium with no jacket. Was well worth it though

It was a wild night! My sons first experience of a Scotland match, got home at 1am damp but happy!

I suppose you got a lot more for your money than usual. I thought the opening 2.5 hours were great 😂 Favourite moment was the stadium tannoy playing why does it always rain on me. Top class banter!

Hopefully the weather's better this weekend in Glasgow! As I'm gonna take a trip to govan/ibrox saturday😂

I went away with Bristol Rovers a few years ago away to Swindon Town, game got abandoned after a weather phenomenon they reckon a cloud burst, never ever seen anything like it before or since. Had to buy new clothes in Swindon for the trip home as we were soaked,good times

Enjoyed that one. A very different experience for the Scotland fans that visited 30°+ Oslo! They'd have taken some of that rain to cool off!

Yeah totally agree with Brianbru down below he does a fantastic job at promoting our game

Could not help but laugh when he asked what it's like being a Scotland supporter the last 18months do you know what it's like being a Wales fan yes I do remember Jordan s hand of God but maradona.s was classic against England I loved that one I think it made us happy😅 good luck Scotland
