Agree with this. I think we need to really target Swiss game. I watched them v Israel in qualifiers and thought they were awful defensively. Scrambled a draw v Belarus at home too with 2 injury time goals and drew home and away with Kosovo. They looked to me like a maybe coming to the end of their cycle. The Liverpool midfielder (not even gonna try spelling his name) is absolutely key to Hungary, he single handedly defeated Montenegro in their last qualifier. Could be an issue for them if not fit. Tierney, Robertson, McGinn and McTominay key for us, injuries to any and think we will struggle to get out group.

Goal was very similar to the chance he missed v Norway before Armstrong put us 3-2 up. Still dont think good enough.

Havent read that but maybe true.

They need Israel to qualify. Massive game tomorrow, Israel v Romania, winner all but qualifies.

Reckon he will play for an hour. Man City must be raging though why play the guy for 45 minutes v Faroes? Odegaard, Sorloth, Meling, Nyland and Nusa are definitely out, probably four of them would start.

Cracking result. Only saw last 15 mins, looked like we rode our luck at times but to be expected. They now need to follow it up though against Hungary. Too often under Gemmill we have had a big result against likes of the Netherlands or Croatia and then followed it up with a poor performance and result.

You are right, and Hornby then signed with Darmstadt who got promoted to Bundesliga. Has started first few games but been injured and on bench since. Dont think he is good enough for Scotland senior squad

Hickey out for remainder of 2023 due to hamstring injury. Struggling for full backs for upcoming double header.

Cannot see Gordon playing for Hearts before international break. Think it will be Zander Clark between the sticks for final qualifiers.

Rhodes scored 9 in 10 games now for Blackpool. Haaland-esque...

Ryan Fraser with a nice finish in 95th minute to win game for Southampton: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CysvfapMW6U/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng== Know he has made some questionable decisions in his time, but still thinks he offers something in terms of pace, crossing ability and a goal threat. Was just over a year ago he played well in all three Nations League games to secure our League A status.

There was a blatant penalty to Cyprus towards end of game where goalie pushed over Cypriot forward after poor pass back. Referee wasnt even asked to look at it by VAR.

2-0 now. Still wouldn’t want to take our chances on going there to get a result.

I dont care if its a draw or Spanish win on Sunday, as long as one of those results come in and we qualify. If goes to last two games I do fear for us.

I think he is fit but he made a big error against Burnley few weeks ago and hasnt played since.

Yeah good point.

My concern is if Spain beat us, they are qualified essentially (provided beat Cyprus away and Georgia at home in November which they will) so maybe arent at 100% v Norway or rest few guys as they did against us. And obviously the Haaland factor as well.

I wondered same thing. The other is the lad Conway at Bristol City though he maybe injured

Messaged earlier, not sure if driving yourself or looking to share a taxi? Four of us are on same flight over to Charleroi i think (6.20am from Edinburgh?) and were going to get trains but if wanted to share taxi we would be up for it. Another two guys potentially also keen so can get a 8 seater for around £23 each. But If misread message just ignore this!

Thats what i meant. You cannot download til 10 October so wondered if French will cancel Scottish orders before then. Could be wrong though.

I used my own details for the invoice section as wondered if my credit card company might flag it if i put in some french address. But did consider using my hotel address. I am bit concerned that the tickets arent being emailed until 10 October and that French may review and cancel any UK address orders in that time.

Great stuff 👍

Hope you managed to get one for laddie, if not might be worth phoning supporters club up in days before you leave as they sometimes get tickets handed back by members.
