EURO 2020 in 2021

[The Cockney Don]

Can see Scotland beating the Czechs, and draw with Croatia.

Should be enough to qualify out of the groups.

 

6 Group winners, 6 runners-up and 4 best third place finishers qualify for the last 16.

[The Boofon]

Scotland to win it.

I reckon us and Croatia will both be on 3 points heading into the last game, with it all at stake. a 3-0 defeat reminiscent of Morroco 1998 sends us home and we don't qualify for anything again until the 2042 World Cup in Madagascar

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

I see we should be getting about 15,000 in the ground for the games now.

I was half confident of us at least beating Czech Republic before but now I can't see us getting a point or even scoring a goal

[Studebaker-90]

Czech Republic are a good team, managed a draw with Belgium recently. Scotland will beat England and lose the other 2 games. 

[NEM]

Uefa announced what the craic is for fans getting in yet?

[Studebaker-90]

Looks like 12k-15k for hampden NEMinsky

The Czechs lost 1-0 to Wales last week,  they're no world beaters. 

[Poodler]

Croatia will obliterate the England hype Machine.

 

it’ll be a laugh 

[Guest]

The Czechs are a really decent side.

 

Could see us finishing 3rd with 4 points in any case, which might just squeak us through. 
 

Be a glorious failure somewhere along the line. 

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Dunno why folk still talk about Scotland and “glorious failure”. 
 

we used to always qualify. Then we had about 10 years of the glorious failure where we’d take it to the last game. 
 

now we are so fucking shite we are usually out after about 4 games

It's going to be great. Whatever the results. 

A whole generation have never seen Scotland play in a finals competition. Going to be great for my boy and millions like him.  I have great memories of watching the games with my dad and other family members as a boy and great times watching the games with my mates once we were older.  Good times. I remember the buzz around it and the laughs rather than the games or the results now looking back.

26 man squads for the Euros, up from 23.

No doubt Patterson from the huns will be packing his bags as we type.

Considine will be chuffed

Hope he is. Has to be a better option than Palmer. 

Imagine Scott Wright walks in though

[Henry]

Mentioned elsewhere, but Kenny McLean is out for the Euros. 

Pretty shit getting injured in a dead rubber match, missing your only chance at an international tournament as a result. 

[eddiec]

Consi never made the squad but that young Hun full back is in .... probably based on his 7/8 starts this season  SFA cunts

McTominay securing his place at RB under Clarke with an incredible performance in midfield tonight.

I missed the 1st half,  but from what I saw he was their best player.

I started watching from the second half too. Thought he played well too

[1983]

I see that’s the SFA speaking about an extension for Clark beyond the World Cup, and they wonder why we never achieve anything? Only the SFA would reward the manager before he’s delivered an acceptable euro campaign, never mind qualifying for the World Cup which already looks a difficult task. The management team should have the same pressure on performance as the players do.

Best crop of players for a generation - we should be expecting to be performing well and qualifying but we seem to be happy with being nearly-men.

Found that strange as well. Clarke has had about 3 good results as Scotland manager. Serbia away then Czech Republic and Slovakia at home. Even with a huge slice of luck in that Nation League group we still managed to finish behind Czech Republic.

Hopefully the Euros make it look like a good decision

Clarke stated the other day McTominay will play in midfield 

[Henry]

Don't trust a man who carries a hankie in his pocket. 

[Andy_123]

The ex hun Fleck has COVID and is self isolating. Hopefully hasn't taken down half the squad with him.

[NEM]

?

Fuck that - would rather chuck my ticket in the bin. Only stadium in the tournament you can’t get a beer as well 

[Bluto10]
