  1. Past hour
  2. Stephen O’Donnell with a pair of goalie gloves on
  3. Careful this is far too positive as a post on this thread.
  4. If squad numbers increased then we will end up with Stephen O'Donnell and no Doak
  5. Anybody know what the attendance was given at?Whatever it was it was far too many to suffer that abject performance.
  6. At 96, we had both Holland and England and we narrowly missed out on goal difference. In 98, we were tipped to qualify with Brazil but aye as you say, very good. Honestly have better things to do than troll mate... What are my zany takes exactly?
  7. The world at war. Has there been a better series about ww2. I'm watching at all again.
  8. So we didn't qualify for the World Cup in 94, didn't make it out of the group (and only scored one goal in three games) at Euro 96, but we were "favourites along with Brazil" to progress from the group stages for the first time in our history? Aye, very good. He thinks you're a troll with exaggerated zany takes intended to deliberately provoke a reaction. Are you?
  9. Aye thought as much ya big jessie
  10. What's the past got to do with anything? Expectation is based around our current squad, form and who we are up against. We are playing on world class team and two above average teams that are beatable. You've honestly got the most negative mindset I've met of any Scotsman.
  11. For a neutral take on expectations, I took a look at ELO ratings. They have us out of the picture vs Germany, but close behind Switzerland & Hungary. So any more than 2 points in the group and we are punching above.
  12. Nope. I'm enjoying watching the show. Crack on sir 🍿 🍿 🍿
  13. Today
  14. Are you sure? Look at the aggressive offensive gesture in your avatar 😮
  15. We are a country that has never been out of the group stages in 11 major tournaments that we have qualified for and you think getting out of the groups should be expected. Why? What are you basing that expectation on? We have some decent players but our squad is very weak in certain areas. I am not suggesting that qualifying is the ultimate pinnacle but it's pretty close. Expecting much more than that is delusional based on our history and squad strength. Thats not to say I don't think we can make it out the groups but it's definitely less than a 50 percent chance imo.
  16. How dare you actually read something correctly. That isn't allowed on this thread.
  17. I'm going by the previous few years where Shankland has barely had a sniff despite scoring regularly (apart from his time in Belguim). Adams/Dykes were always the preferred main striker. Mcginn/McT are undroppable. I love Gilmour, great wee player but I'm not so sure he fits the Scottish team as we are not really the best team at playing possession football like a Chelsea or Brighton are but not sure you can leave him out still. McGregor is a very good player but not testing himself at a high level and wouldn't put him in the undroppable mould. You could rejig the midfield where Ferguson gets a place instead of him and work out a system to fit him in with great effect. Ferguson hasn't been given the opportunities to do an awful lot, he needs a run in the team which he ain't getting as we have been getting results with the current midfield but every good team is always looking to adapt and upgrade if options present themselves... I don't see McGinn as a lazy player and every other option we have up top lacks pace and we are not really a long ball team anyway and don't score many headers unless it's from a corner. He can use his arse like King Kenny did and he has an eye for goal and could rotate with the other AM's in a fluid formation but aye this is pretty outward thinking and I know i'll get pelters for it but don't really care.
  18. It’s possible to think we’re more than capable of getting out of the group whilst not expecting us to do so.
  19. No idea what you are talking about tbh... Are you actually gonna weigh in with any constructive feedback?
  20. Better to be so called delusional and carried away rather than a miserable bastard. Your expectations are far too low, it's part of the reason why we are so shite at sport as too many negative mindsets that is ingrained into the Scottish culture. Thankfully that's changing for the better but still has a long way to go... Worst teams than us have got through tougher groups btw...
  21. Kilt. Kilt hanger. Couple of bottles of Febreeze.
  22. I'm not making stuff up, we were a good national team at the time and were favourites to qualify alongside Brazil. We were slaughtered for being pumped by Morocco especially and Norway
  23. We have qualified for two euros were twenty four countries do if that’s our pinnacle heaven help us. We have five players playing for top six teams in the top leagues in Europe. we have a dozen others with EPL experience. last sixteen should be expected anything more than that and you can start talking pinnacles
  24. You're just making up percentages now that is not possible to calculate... The fact is everyone has played a part and Clarke has played a huge part especially in the last campaign
  25. Let's just agree to disagree on this
