    Can't see anybody overtaking Rose Reilly. 😉🤣

    Aye,true.

     

    But is she not Italian by fitba rules🤔

    I'm sure she played for Italy.

    (Won the world cup ?🤔)  

     

    While she was born in, sounds and says she's Scottish, in fitba terms I don't think we can count her.

    I do agree she would be better than McBurnie .👍

    I think the draw is a 7/5-8  out of 10.

    Would have preferred n Macedonia instead of Ukraine. But apart from that, we didn't get Poland/Czechs.

    Also missed Italy/ Portugal if we get through.

    We are in the best/ easiest group of 4.

    The only team I would swap places with is Wales ( only cos they have potentially 2 at home) 

    IMO Very few other combinations are any better than what we have.

    If we beat Ukraine, would prefer Austria .

    I heard this morning that Italy have played 19 games this year.Since march...

    So I would put the result last week down to fatigue.

    Deffo don't want them home or away ( although like Wales, they are due a doin at Hampden)

    That’s our situation too. South upper would be perfect for the wee man (age 10) but I always like to get my tickets early and as you say the south upper tickets are last to be released. We sit in the south lower which is a decent view but lacks atmosphere. When he’s old/tall enough to stand and see from the north stand we’ll be back there 👍🏼

    My wee fella(10) has been coming for 2-3 years now.

    We always in West close to North.

    He just stands on the seat everyone around keeps an eye on it 

     

    He loves it , sings all the songs has never seen Scotland whilst on his bahookie.

    Get back over where the action is.👍

    There were also reports in Scottish papers that Clarke was against it too and wanted it changed. However, again this is UEFA. I cannot see them budging on it. Especially, as it aids countries with bigger in depth squads and they tend to be the bigger nations.

    I wonder if Ronaldo Is on a yellow and if they would change the rules if he or someone of similar standing got another to miss out on playoff's..🤔

    Grant has been asked and declined. Harvey Barnes is 'English through and through' says his dad talking of his son's call-up to the England senior squad:-

    "Harvey Barnes: The England star who turned down Scotland and loved watching Cristiano Ronaldo dominate at Manchester United" https://talksport-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/talksport.com/football/770909/harvey-barnes-dad-england-scotland-cristiano-ronaldo-stats/amp/?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a6&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=16349226502076&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Ftalksport.com%2Ffootball%2F770909%2Fharvey-barnes-dad-england-scotland-cristiano-ronaldo-stats%2F

    The issue is Harvey Barnes and Karlan Grant have been asked,and said no,that they considered themselves english.That should be enough to end any interest in them pulling on the dark blue jersey.They consider themselves english,until they can't make the breakthrough with them,and as if by magic they are suddenly Scottish.No thanks.

    I was unaware they had been asked..

    Adams had been asked and said not just now, the first time 

     

    What have the others actually said? 

    And when were they asked? 

    I'm sure Clarke hasn't asked. .

    This campaign was really all about progress and becoming a pot 2 team and qualifying for the 2024 euros.

    Qualification for Qatar is still a long way off and will be very difficult.

    Remember it's only 13 teams from Europe that qualify.

    This time last year we were 24th in Europe (last to qualify for 24team euros)

    We are up to 21st? In Europe after euros.

    A win in Moldova and a good draw in the playoff semi.....

     

    Then we will see.

    Would tonight be a good time to play a new keeper? 

    I'm hoping Paterson could be brilliant tonight, poor first half on sat, but this is the sort of game he could Excell in.

     

    Cristie and dykes for me up front.

    We'll see what SSC picks. I'm confident in his judgement.
