Reevesy Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Was a fantastic campaign. Was buzzing heading to every game. Ukraine at home was my personal favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 David Weir and Stephen McManus in central defence were a good partnership at international level. Don't think we appreciated what a good international player Gary Naysmith was for us until after it had come to an end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reevesy Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 The Georgia home game from that campaign gets pretty much forgotten about but that was a hell of a finish to that one as well. Took an early lead through Boyd then Arveladze equalised for them. Beattie came on as a late sub and scored at the death. Hampden was rocking. My favourite period following Scotland, which I suspect would be the case for most folk around my age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Jim Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 My favourite period too Reevesy, and I'll be a lot older. We were spoiled before then as I was always so bitterly disappointed with the finals in the end. Oh to think on that now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh to think on that now Absolutely Would take another Morocco type defeat in a heartbeat if it meant we could just get there for once. Had always hoped we'd get to a tournament again while I was still fairly young but not looking likely. Think now I would probably bite your hand off if you offered me qualification while my grandkids were still fairly young! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

er yir macaroon Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 We've got Burke, Fraser, Armstrong, Aitchsion, Gilmour, Phillips, Macleod, Tierney, Middleton, Burt, Kiltie, McCart - some established, some on the horizon and there are plenty more. Why all the pessimism? That period was ok and we had 3 or 4 good players (e.g. Ferguson, McFadden, Weir mainly) but hardly a period to get all misty eyed. Maybe you guys are too young to believe it's possible to have a good team. I can remember having a few cans outside Hampden pondering our front three of Dalglish, Johnston and Cooper. I'm optimistic there are similar days ahead. The u17s won 6-1 last night - chin up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertsscot Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 The Post Office actually made drafts of stamps for Scotland winning the World Cup in 78. As per normal it didn't quite happen but that was a good team, as was 74. I'm not old enough to remember the 60s but we all know what happened down at Wembley in 67. I hope that we will come again but things have moved on, its now a more global game though that doesn't explain why we have done poorly in comparison with other European teams. My father always said the best team he ever saw were the Magical Magyars who took England to the cleaners in 53 - they've been out in the wilderness longer than us - always someone in a worse position!

Hertsscot Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Just now, Bino's said: they qualified for the last euros no one I can think has been out in the cold longer than us True but Hungry did spend a long time in the football desert. They were number one in the world, we never got that far. Still them qualifying gives me a modicum of hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
