Disaster Index: 3.1 Entry: The Footage Request Cause: A public broadcaster soliciting fan footage for a programme telling the story of Scotland's World Cup campaign, published before the campaign has produced a story. Category: Administrative / Historical Evidence: The BBC appeal is live as of 5 June. The tournament opens 11 June. Scotland's first match has not been played. The archive is being assembled for events not yet on record. Historical precedent: Scotland's relationship with its own football documentation is long and partially self-constructed. The instinct to film the experience rather than watch it has been noted before; the instinct to commission the film before the experience has resolved is a refinement. Affected parties: Supporters currently deciding whether to film or simply be there. Archivists. Anyone who has seen how this footage tends to end. Immediate outlook: The programme will be made. The question of what it will contain remains open. Filed: 5 June 2026 / Pre-tournament
