Scotland V Albania And Israel

[Guest findlay_1903]

Our local village idiot lost his virginity at France 98, let’s hope we qualify for 2020 for more of the same.

Ps I promise I’m not local idiot.

Were you at France 98?

[Tyzo_1903]

All this chat about us "flying", we only beat Albania FFS. Winning this group should have been a minimum expectation. Comfortable 2-0 win tonight I reckon.

[Old manny]

I was quite relaxed aboot the game until you put the mochers on it.

[BitWait]

Scotland would be against Finland, Serbia/Romania and Norway as it stands.

 

°°°°°°°°°°

 

Finns are flying , Serbia/Romania would hump us . Winning this group only gets us a play off place against 3 other teams and not qualification for a major finals. Conventional Euro qualifying will be hard because of our seeding . Only positive thing is UEFA really want us there because of our colourful support and doing everything to help us , even inventing new tournaments . Still we will not qualify as far as I can see. Not with Eck in charge , change needed.

This might be the greatest fish ever.

 

But fuck that self aggrandising, delusional shite.

[Frank Grimes]

Yeah, the entirety of the conventional qualifying is played in 2019.

 

Nations League play-offs in March 2020.

 

I've got to be honest, i think it's a big improvement. We're getting real competitive games in place of friendlies. Plus, conventional qualifying being condensed gives us a better chance if we can hit form at the right time. Very often we've played well in half a campaign and fucked up the other half, this allows us the chance to get on a run and for it to really benefit us.

 

Aye

 

It's actually a huge game for Scotland tonight, I'd struggle to see Eck keep his job if we don't win tbh, the negativity going into the 2020 qualifiers would be unreal

Wait till Dad pitches up with his pre match prediction.

 

That'l put the fuckers on it big style :-)

[Mr John]

Not gonna try and predict tonight's score in case I get accused of anti-semitism or zionist bias.

[The Boofon]

In a break away group?

Group C winners.

 

That’s the whole point of it. Gives the “smaller nations” a chance of qualifying.

[Ten Caat]

Team played well at the weekend, picking players who are actually on form, not relying on past reputation and actually having a real go at the opposition rather than sitting back, absorbing pressure and trying to flue a goal on the break.
 

Hopefully same team tonight, flowing exciting football on show.

 

1-0 GMS (pen) 93

Never knew aggrandising was a word ? Now I know. Education to be got here if you want it. Probably Nations league not just invented for us but for us and a handful of countries like us that cannot qualify for fuck all.

Always happy to help.

Thing is tho, that was not what you originally said was it, it was because

You honestly think that when they are making decisions, they go yes we want the Scottish fans, not let's find a way to line our own pockets...

It's a parachute tournament to give the likes of Italy and Holland a 2nd chance when they fuck up the qualifiers.

[Redstar]

GWT....on the game in Israel...”they won the game rather luckily I felt”

 

Really...

True , if Scotland qualify for any major tournament there will be a 20 000 travelling support at least. Lining UEFA and host countries pockets. Not going to happen though as long as Eck is in charge unless they just give us a place.

[Dr_Manhattan]

2-0 tonight. 

 

Strange one. I'll be delighted if we top the group as it would give us a genuine shot at qualifying, but it's hard to get too excited about beating Israel at home. We should have had this group wrapped up already.

 

I suppose you can only play what's put in front of you though.

[robbojunior]

Big Eck walking away tonight regardless of result is what I hear

[aberdeen1970]

Hope Bob Carolgees has a better game at right back tonight.

 

Alan McGregor looking more like a serial killer every year that goes by

[BillyStarkDivinHeeder]

Any streams on the go @@Dad ?

[Dr_Manhattan]

Fucking dreadful goal to concede. Pitiful defending.

[Old manny]

Could be in for a long night. Some strike like.

[DelMonte]

Why is McGregor 6 yards off his line? That goal hit the back of the net in the bottom corner.

[Old manny]

The Israelis have clearly done their homework on Ryan Fraser. Crowd scenes every time he gets the ba.

[Dr_Manhattan]

Why is McGregor 6 yards off his line? That goal hit the back of the net in the bottom corner.

 

Probably because he's expecting McGregor and/or Armstrong to close Kayal down or force him wide.

[Old manny]

Forest on fire, Armstrong full of running. We should kick on from here.
