Surprisingly not to bad, nothing special, but it was something different on match day from the normal pubs-shed-pub-match routine on match day. Unsure if I want to go back again, see what the others are doing first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordyA88 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I've just seen the new world rankings. Scotland are at a lofty 67th. Benin are 66th. Its all getting very ridiculous. I know the rankings are a farce anyway. No doubt there will still be people on here saying it's not Strachan's fault and Benin have got a better squad than us.

Grim Jim Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 FIFA rankings are silly, but even just looking at UEFA teams, were behind Slovenia. Need to sort that. Please... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to rossy, I know exactly where he's coming from when it comes to European qualification. it close to impossible for a team like Aberdeen to get to the latter stages of the Europa league so it is a complete waste of time for us but we obviously want to finish as high up the league as we can. Double edged sword for Aberdeen and most Scottish teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aberdeen team now are probably a better team than the Aberdeen team then and certainly have a better manager too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it is so hard to qualify for the group stages for a club like Aberdeen now. Coming through 4 2 legged ties, 2 of them as unseeded, is a tall order. In the last few years we've faced Real Sociedad (lost), Groningen (won), Rejika (won), a Karait Almaty side with a compartively huge budget (lost), Maribor (lost). Qualifying for the group stages is very, very difficult. Having said that, we really should have made it this year. Losing to a Maribor side that we outplayed in both matches was a real sore one, especially when the refereeing incompetence in the 2nd leg is factored in. Having said all that, i totally disagree with Rossy that Aberdeen shouldn't want to get in to Europe. We should, we do and we have a team that, with a bit of luck in the draw. is capable of qualifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd also have to get very lucky with our draw for the final qualification round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39331350 Ginger bellend is really irritating, wont be long until he is finally unemployed. If he really thinks one win will get everyone all excited he really should fck off and eat a yogurt before it goes out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossman4 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The way he was talking today has me even more frustrated. This talk of rejuvinating the side, more pace and excitment. He should have done that 2 years ago, he should have done that away to Slovakia when he was advised to play like that by his scout. I'll believe it when I see it on Sunday though. To little to late, a win on Sunday might make it look a bit better and will probably ensure he sees out the campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Clearly I'm not the only one who has lost his Scotland mojo. This campaign is pretty much over. We needed to beat Lithuania and get a result in Trnava. As it stands we have little chance of making the playoffs. Slovenia is a must win. Lose and I like WGS to go. Huge error not sacking Levine early enough, I fear we've made the same mistake with Strachan. The Draw at Lithuania should have been the catylist, the defeat (and its manner) in Slovakia should have confirmed it. The Wembley debacle has us asking WTF is going on. Shoogly peg is an understatement. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time they did bin someone on time was Burley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudScot Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Final score; Scotland 0-1 Canada Can just hear Strachan now, "Chris Martin was exceptional and we created chances. Robert Snodgrass hit the post with a brilliant curling effort" You mean that cross Gordon... and Martin was mince... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
