sheepcrooky Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 A decent attacking open game. We got lucky with their non-penalty just before h/t when (Hendry?) a Scotland player his arm across their player at a corner. That was a penalty for me. Good defending overall and the front two linked up well. Israel next which really is massive. Three points there and we come second. Steve Clarke is a dour bastard. Link to comment

He'll try and he's honest, will run and run, just never a player at that level. Nonsense. “At that level” is such a weird term. It’s international football.

International football is not necessarily any better than club football and the cunts only play together as a team now and again. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hopefully we get Austria in the play of final, then... cause they were fucking awful tonight. And they still have to go to Denmark, I'm noticing. Smashed 4-0 by the Danes in Austria, previously. Fuck me... beat Israel and we're through to the play offs, fo sho. Link to comment

An away game in against the Faroes still to come! .... we've got previous there! I look at the fixtures too and I think we might get something from Denmark at home on the last day of the campaign. The Danes are running away with this group... will they be arsed by that stage? Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Repeat of the Paterson argument. If he deserves his place ahead of McGregor McGinn and Gilmore then crack on. If he’s being sandwiched in to somehow avoid hurting half of Glasgow’s feelings then fuck em. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Time to call up Ramsey. He's playing, and playing well. This is not a debate. 1 1 Link to comment
BonnieDon Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Great result. Did not expect us to win tonight. Gilmour is some player. Another cap for Ferguson. Should increase his market value. Link to comment

I'd imagine from the way things turn out with 2nd place teams, at present we have a chance against all in 2 x one off games. Apart from v Spain. Who we'd only have a 1 in 3 chance of being in same play off path. Austria in semis. Finland in Final. 12 quid* pints here we come**. *May increase for taking piss out of fitba tourists. **Unless luck enough to scrape a happy hour, which are horrific there compared to Dubai & Abu Dhabi.

The teams that have qualified for the Nations League play off who have not qualified as group winners or as runners up will need to go through a play off system to get the 2 places. Then they will join the 10 runners up and go through a play off to see who gets the 3 places. I think that UEFA hasn't announced the system on the 12 team play offs yet, probably to allow them the chance to fuck around the system to get any remaining big teams through to the finals.

Rico1903 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Noticed on the match stats that we have won consecutive matches for the first time since beating Slovakia and Czech Republic in October 2020 - all four games in the two-game winning runs have ended 1-0. Clarke is our George Graham, priority is not losing a goal so we won't get beat then hopefully sneak one ourselves to win. "1-0 to the Scotland, 1-0 to the Scotland". Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Good result. Austria are pish though, keep Alaba quiet and they are as lackluster as us going forward. Beat Israel and that’s surely us sorted. I doubt even we would manage to lose to Faroes and Moldova. Link to comment
RUL Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I think in fairness we deserved a fair few more goals last night. A very good performance. Defence string and midfield superb in possession. Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Think that three in midfield is our best option - Gilmour, Potatohead & McGregor. I think those three are going to give most midfields in Europe a challenge. I like McTominay as a player, but sure he's really hit the heights for Scotland, to warrant selection above those three. Grant Hanley is probably Scotlands second best player these days. How things change! Link to comment

Whether that's as one of the 3 central defenders or in midfield......he will be shoehorned in. If it's in midfield, it will either be at the expense of McGregor or one of the attackers Link to comment

I don't think McGinn is a particularly gifted technician - but he's a bundle of energy, presses the opponent really well and drives the team forward. Seems to have a knack of pinching a goal for Scotland too! Link to comment

Him and Gilmore should be definite starters and last position for whoever is the form player beside them for in there Link to comment
