    Thanks for posting that, Stirling. It reminded me of a wee boy I used to teach for about 3 years; he had leukaemia and died aged 14. He was the nicest kid you could possibly meet - not just saying that. Thought Erin was really natural with the kid.

    I'm not saying it wasn't a great win but we would not have beaten the current Spain first eleven.
  3. Third Lanark
    Hate to put a dampener on the fact that we beat Spain in qualifying; they really put out a second string v. us. Williams, Ruiz, Laporte for instance all started on the bench. Yamal not even in the squad.

    If Eng. had been in Spain's half of the draw, would they have beaten Italy, Germany and France? One maybe but not three.

    Difference is our expectations are realistic; I will be happy just to get out the group stage. It's the sense of entitlement that England have that gets us, though they have a good enough and young enough squad to win a trophy soon.

    Wasn't aware of the rules since 2015 so thanks for that. We can't compete with point 2 but we could emulate Iceland and Denmark both comparable to us in budgets and size

    I see your reasoning but look at the EPL; there has been much gnashing of teeth about foreigners blocking the rise of young English talent but they have still managed to put together a squad of EPL players, mostly from the top 6 clubs. You could say that cream always rises to the top.

    I've got an annoying feeling that Eng. will win on penalties; and maybe even win the Euros on penalties. No denying, they now have an impressive array of penalty takers.

    You just knew it. Slovakia played for a draw in the second half and paid the penalty. They looked dead on their feet.

    If we were ambitious we would go for Ralf Rangnick. Just look what he has done for Austria. Can't think of any Scottish manager I would want, even Moyes.
  11. Third Lanark
    Yes that would be a good idea. I began to get worried when he said his players would be 'spitting blood' v us! We still have this 'gerrintaethum' mentality and forget that other nations too are just as fired up as us.

    You clearly didn't watch them v Italy last night. Took a last minute 'worldy' to draw with them. Modric still has it if he wants to remain and Guardiol and Brozovic among others are special.
  13. Third Lanark
    Hanley and McKenna unless Souttar has a good start to rhe season.
  14. Third Lanark
    They are still better than us. Guardiol, Modric and Brozovic are better than anyone we have.

    Actually Ralston barely put a foot wrong last night. Problems are elsewhere.
