🌧️ HOW DID THIS EVEN GO AHEAD?! 

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 .

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.

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

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.

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 🙂

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

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

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.

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!!!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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 😂

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 🙏

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

great quality reporting, thanks mate

So proud of my country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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

Took off the Loch Ness Monster and left Loch Ness behind. At least now we know Scotland not only has a better water polo team than Georgia, but also better scuba gear. The only let down was B&Q not having 50,000 brushes in stock.

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.

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

Have seen floods like that during the world cup the same heavy flooding no pitch in the world would have handled that storm .

The full stadium needs a full update

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

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.

nice one Sam, good video! awra best big man

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

I’ve said for a number of years. Hampden is an absolute shambles of a pitch

So some random Englishman has decided to become a Scotland fan the past 4 years 😂? Funny old game. Fair play fella 😂.

Great video again.

How on earth have you managed to find so many English Scottish fans? 😂

I've no seen weather like it before. Was wetter than Ron Jeremy's helmet.

"testing the ball in the water" couldn't have been more on point with that comment! 😂

Maddest game since Tallinn in 96. I wonder if it would have been postponed had not McGregor scored. I wouldn't blame the ground staff at all. I was watching it online and the rain covered hardly any area, it just happened to cover Hampden and be ridiculously heavy. I'm about 30 miles away and we had no rain at all. We're back. We're going to Germany in 24, just like we went to Germany in 74, and that was the first of 5 consecutive World Cups for Scotland. To answer your question in the video, the best Scotland player I ever saw play? That would be Kenny Dalglish, which I guess dates me.

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

Aly Mcceost as Unionist as you ever get

You really gave a sense of the utter nonsense that went on Sam!

Brilliant night of fitbaw Germany here we come🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

If you think those early conditions were bad, you clearly haven't seen games from the 60's 70's or early 80's, the pitches were only classed as water logged when you couldn't see the grass, they also played in mud pits, there's a very famous recording of a player hitting the ball towards the goal, turned around celebrating the goal and the mud was that deep it made it nowhere near the goal. The pitch in this video was barely wet compared to the old days

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

I was at the game and l when the ball boys came in to help brush the water of it was very very funny

Hampden was better with 149,000 standing in it, the Hampden roar in those days you could hear it all over Glasgow.

I’m from Sydney and was at the game. The local Sunday week pitch would’ve held up better than that and we get rain like that fairly often

Great vid keep up the great work Sam 👍👍

“The pitch has let us down”? Is he serious? Did he not see the rain? What a numpty.

Enjoyed your videos 😊

GERMANY! GERMANY! WE'RE THE FAMOUS TARTAN ARMY AND WERE OFF TO GERMANY!

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

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!

I'm from Clarkston, walking distance from the stadium, and it was bone dry here. It was a localised shower that was heaviest for 10 minutes. They made the right call by allowing the game to go ahead once they cleared the pitch. The fans would rightly have felt aggrieved if they postponed it, since the weather was mostly fine and dry after the sudden heavy downpour and the clouds started opening up and there was a gleaming sunset above the stadium around 9:30-10pm. Many of the fans wouldn't have been able to change plans and commit to returning to the stadium the next day, so I'm glad UEFA thought of them first and did everything they could to get the game to go ahead instead of giving up and taking the easy route. If the rain continued to pour non-stop all night, then fair enough, but a quick localised downpour that didn't even last that long should not get a game of football stopped.

AMAZING LOVE THESE VIDS

Well you got your moneys worth with the hospitality, you were in there for about 6 hours! 😂 To be fair after 6 weeks of really dry weather and then how the heavens opened yesterday I doubt many pitches would have held up. Fair play to the groundstaff for keeping the match alive and well done Scotland, Cyprus in September next!

MaGinn outstanding, and why one of the big teams have not snapped him up from Villa has baffled me.

It's always the hard way with Scotland. Got the job done though. Book those flights!

It didn't put a spanner in the works put it that way. Georgia were on an unbeaten run until they came up against us.

i love the new Scotland shirt stylish yet so simple 5 star

Longest night ever- but looking back, well worth it!!! Hospitality is FAR too expensive at Hampden, but thats the SFA ripping you off at every opportunity these days.

was watching this on tv last night crazy evening hahaha

I love you man! ❤ Keep putting the word out cause scottish football is pure... And untapped..imagine it was tapped by money..oof... We would be tunaway success imo from top to bottom

Scottish pies and Irn Bruuuu!!!! Love the River Plate shirt mate....I was at the game, East stand! I came over from Belgium, missed my train to Perth where I was staying with family, St.Johnstone Saints fans here so we love ya man!!!Got back tae Perth at 7 AM hahahaa but goood times!!!

Like a drowned rat walking from the bus to the game. Its been good seeing the younger ones getting to see what i did in the 80’s-90’s.

You'll never be a real Scottish fan yawning and hiding indoors during the game 😂 However your videos are good 👍

Glad it did, we have a team to be proud of. Handsome lads

I was listening to the BBC Scotland radio commentary(as I think it's better) one of them did say that Hampden is built over a dam. So hence the reason the water can get so bad. We're of to Germany 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

11.30 “It’s an act of God, God genuinely hates us” 😂 that guy sums up the Scotland team perfectly

Also, every Scotland fan should be able to agree. Hampden is a dump. Rotate the games between Celtic and Rangers’ stadium until the pitch and stadium is fixed man.
