JECK

A fk load of empty seats in the second game last night - who would have thought it eh? A sign of things to come. 48 teams and the prices - ridiculous decision. Role on euro 2028 - a proper tournament.

Tbf I’ve fair warmed to Ian Wright, he’s been extremely positive towards us for a number of years now - there was a clip on itv the other day with him talking about Scotland. McCoist said during 2-2 game v England he was getting pelters in the studio from the fans at hampden all game and when Kane got the last minute equaliser he was going mental giving it back and the Scotland fans stood and applauded him.

Why am I quite worried about this - anything been specified? Might next thought is it contagious. Also whenever you see this thread at the top so close to matches it’s no good for the nerves.

This is fkin brutal. We are actually getting originals gear but the colour ways have been abysmal so far in pretty much everything. Looks like a wales top that. I’ve warmed to the away top just, but only the player version.

And to add to that are the away top “player versions” available in stores? Can’t see online. The neck line looks a wee bit better imo

Don’t know if this has been posted already but found this quite interesting re the Haiti match - not sure who John Walker is as such but shares some reasonable analysis for a back 5 as Haiti are so gung ho in final 3rd.

When you read someone saying the Haiti keeper is dodgy effectively I instantly think of the Italia 90 Costa Rica game where of course Roxburgh and Brown decided to play Alan Mcinaly to seemingly rough the goalie up who was meant to be of the dodgy variety

Fk me! There’s a lot going on there but that is stunning

“SFA and Hampden to shame” aye? Get a grip

You can gtf with that! Ally McLeod 1978 vibes right there. That would be picked apart by all and sundry in the press and it would lead straight into negativity. Low key quiet confidence is the name of the game.

I can honestly say only Scotland Haiti vibes is all I have. Because by a week on Sunday morning it could all be curtains, knives out for Clarke, national melt down etc after signing a new deal. There’s so much riding on this game. I’m actually a bit sickened by the prices and 48 team tournament idea, 32 was perfect imo. Started getting the dreams about Scotland Haiti about a week ago (won’t tell you how they went) My main interest in football is the progress/preservation of the national team - if they don’t make a proper go of this tournament ill be fkin devastated, took me 6 months to get over the last euros (naturally getting drawn back in with those back to back wins against Croatia then Poland)

Was quite amused and pleasantly suprised to see on that recent 28 summers video that Che Adam’s mum and grandparents were from Leith, unless I picked it up wrong. And he used to visit family there - straight from the man himself. All our non born Scot’s have fairly legitimate links. George Hirst on the other hand….seriously lucky to be involved at all. I just don’t rate him one bit.

Didn’t think they could be capable of that tbh. Jeez feels all too real now. My biggest fear is we have an absolute mare in the first game - would be absolutely horrendous and we’ll get it from all quarters re how shite we are at tournaments. British/English media will have a field day.Iran/Peru & Costa Rica vibes for sure. Does not bear thinking about.
