Nice theory to start Griffiths and hook him at half time but it's never happening. 

Dykes all the way.

Don't think it's a nice theory at all. It would be a huge gamble and this game is too important to be doing that. What if we get a couple of early injuries and Griffith's spent by half time? Agree with starting dykes.

[Reed or deed]

Probably looking at the usual 2-1 or 1-0 agonising defeat in this.

Hope not like as we are due a bit of luck.

Get Griffiths started, the cunt scores goals. He doesn’t have to be fully fit as most of the game is likely to take place in our box.

A fit & on form Cooper is a better option than a fit & on form option of either of McKenna/Considine for LCH.

Not going to let bias blinker me on that but still hope Considine gets the nod as he’s earned it in his two games to contribute to a third clean sheet & get us through. Romance & dreams & all that.

 

Be harsh as fk on him to bin him now

Kieran Tierney plays LCH for for Arsenal. So he must be in the mix.  That's his position for his club team in the EPL.

Personally I think he would normally get the nod... however could be a mismatch physically if Mitrovic continually peels off and targets Tierney.  Having said that, Tierney is doing a great job for Arsenal in the EPL and plays against big, strong strikers of that quality week in, week out.

I'd have Griffiths on the bench.  If we need a goal with 10 mins left, just fling him on.  Doesn't need to be fit... a chance is going to fall to anyone in the box, you want Griffiths on the end of it.

Yeah. Griffiths definitely as an impact sub for the last 30 mins.

Anyone else hoping Scotland lose or is it just me?

Absolutely. Have been vocal about this for years. An achieving Scotland squad will mean no changes at league level as they will believe their set up is working.

Then there's the added loss of integrity to any dons fan who can cheer on Ryan Jack etc. You're either a dons fan or you're not, you can't do both. 
 

It's also great watching the glengarry lot cry.

 

I'll be rooting for Serbia.

A bit too obvious for my liking, but you'll maybe catch a tiddler.

I dunno.  I have a major problem supporting any team with Ryan Jack in it.  Would imagine there are quite a few Dons fans with similar feelings.

@The Boofon you don't agree?

I've been pretty consistent about hating the national team, there's nothing fishy about it

No I don't. I don't want Scotland to win. Hope Griffiths breaks his legs.

If its any consolation, a failing Scotland also means no changes at league level

If we lose we can look forward to someone like Gordon Smith telling us things would be better for the national team with Hun and Celtic colt teams in the league. 

That's about the sum and substance of the Scottish football 'think tank' 

[Ramandu]

Doubt Considine will be in Clarke's mind for the Serbia game. He's there for the Israel and Slovakia games, as there's no way it'll be the same 11 for all three games. Wouldn't be surprised if some of the usual suspects will pick up 'a wee knock' after Thursday and head home.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Id say Robertson, Tierney, Jack and Macgregor's flights will be booked already.

[Parklife]

I think there may well be some sort of "understanding" between Clarke and the clubs in regards to certain players.

3 points from the last 2 games will see us secure a Qatar 2022 play off route. If we beat Slovakia on Sunday I can see the entire squad apart from Considine pulling out of the Israel game. 

Israel 0 Considine 1

Slovakia beat Norway to get here, we squeaked past Israel. 
 

Norway would pump us as well. 
 

Hate to piss on the cornflakes but everyone is a bit optimistic I think.

Serbia -1 are 3/1.

I think it’ll be 2-0 them so I’ll be having some of those odds.

As for the game, I’d rather Scotland won, but won’t be bothered if they don’t.

It would be class if the euros in question were to be held in one nation, but this jetting about all over the shop for games I have no time for.

Has to be the glorious failure yet again. In off someone's backside in the last 10 mins for the Serbs to win 3 - 2 and go through. We used up all our lucky breaks in the Czech game.

Went to the euros in France a few years back and it was a brilliant week away. Games in 4 different cities. Tremendous. 

It'd be so Scotland to qualify for the shittest tournament ever, when no cunt can go because of Covid.

Scotland are going to win. Qualify for first time in decades for major tournament & tournament will then be canceled due to COVID

Two home games and an away trip to Wembley isn't that bad? Optimistically thinking there might be some normality next summer.

Although hampden is crap, decaying relic of a ground, Murrayfield, or either of the ugly sisters grounds are a better option for Scotland games imo, the atmosphere is pish at hampden, too far away from the pitch.

I don’t think hampden is crap Iv been there when there has been some brilliant atmospheres there. Times it’s crap is when it’s half full and the games should never have been there
