Surely if we cant play at Hampden the Aviva would be off limits as well for same reason.

Was there not chat of them staying at Marr Hall and using Murray Park or whatever its called these days.

I watched the Russia/Slovakia game yesterday and it had even more in it. Yes I know its Russia and all 😂 but still was great to see.

I would like to see him try that, maybe against the Faroes, a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 with him in front of Robbo. Tierney is wasted at left centre half despite the great job he does there.

From watching a good bit of this game yesterday I would be starting Adams, Fraser up top with McGinn in behind. The really struggled with Denmark's pace up front.

From Twitter this afternoon and BEIN Sports journo Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeri BOOM! Euro2021 very likely to be played solely in England as UEFA are opting for the one hosting country format and England is the one they believe being in best position to do so. Decision expected to be taken within mid-April

Need to remember that Spain, Belgium, France and Italy will go into the groups of 5, so get one of them you need to ignore pot 6.

Christ, one defeat in 9, after making 8 changes from Thursday and the doom mongering has set in again. One thing I took today was maybe our depth isn’t as good as we think it is. I’d imagine Wednesday will pretty much be the same team that played last Thursday except maybe Robbo to Tierney and Cooper possibly keeps his place.

We could be in a group of 5. March and September are triple headers again, to facilitate the re-scheduling of the June matches.

Almost certainly wont be Norway. See post I put up earlier which explains their situation.

I dont think Norway will be winning their group. Their game off today away to Romania as Norwegian Government wouldn’t let them travel so looks like they will be handed a 3-0 defeat. They have had to call up a completely new squad of foreign based players for their game away to Austria. Russia, Wales and Austria the teams to look at.

Its a different format for the World Cup. There will be an expectation that the 4 league A group winners will finish top 2 in their main qualification group. Thats why is important we try and pick up at least 4 points, ideally 6 from these two games to be best ranked League B side so we are 5th in line. Its detailed here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_–_UEFA_Second_Round

There is no way SC will make wholesale changes, 2/3 that will be it Id say, its a game we need to win and he knows that. McBurnie for Dykes for defo.

Lets just worry about the Czech game first 😂 Its also possible we could play in Budapest or Bilbao if we finish 3rd. In fact there more chance of Budapest than Glasgow.

That’s what I’ve been trying to tell myself even if we dont manage it tonight. After the Slovenia game 3 years ago I was so f**king angry that we bottled it again but looking back there didn’t seem much hope for the future after that game. We now have that regardless of the result tonight with such a young squad. Anyway, Im trying not to predicit anything for tonight. Take it as it comes but I know I’ll be a nightmare in the house. Ive already told the mrs it might be an idea to pack off to her mums. 😂😂 Come on Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Sorry for your loss McTeeko, hope all goes well. I missed out on France 98 when I was 20 as had just started a new job and couldn't afford it or get the time off. I said ach well I'll go to the next one. Well we all know the story. Still seems bizarre that none of us are heading off on flights today and tomorrow to make our way to Belgrade but we are where we are I suppose. Has it changed my outlook on the came? not a chance, I'm as hyper and as nervous as I normally would be if we were going to it. Not living in Scotland, I'm a nightmare watching games on the telly at the best of times, especially qualifiers. I've warned the wife and weans that this isn't going to be pleasant so stay away if they wish 😅 Finish as early as I can, bite to eat then the me and lads I travel with are all doing a zoom call and watching the game at the same time. Hopefully we'll be celebrating into the wee small hours.

They cant cancel it. As long as they have 13 fit players including a goalie the game will be played. UEFA rules.

No, he misses the Slovakia game. Different tournament.

Other than Fraser he didn’t have a great choice to select from last night and need to remember how much loosing the 6 players on Wednesday probably buggered things up for him, 3/4 of them were certain to start.

Be interesting to see how UEFA deal with the Internationals. Can see the Nations League being scrapped to make way for the playoffs in September then bring World Cup qualifiers forward to October and November from March and June, leaves March for friendlies prior to Euros. A later World Cup in 2022 certainly gives them a bit of room to move things.

If Im correct the final could be at any of the 4 semi finalists. So we could end up playing Serbia in Sofia or Oslo? Im convinced that as a host nation UEFA will give us every chance to be there. Wouldn’t shock me if the play off venue was ‘randomly’ drawn as Glasgow.

Patterson hasn’t played a game a right back for Cardiff since the early part of the 17/18 season. Most have been played in midfield of up front.

Yes, went off on Saturday with a bad injury

Yeah Goopti is best, we got a private cab for 6 of us, return to Rimini for £31 each, airport straight to digs and back again.

Flights booked to Bologna for the Saturday morning and staying in Rimini for the two nights
