We should have been this positive 20 years ago! If we say that we will beat Slovakia 5 - 0 often enough, then it will happen. Stop being negative.

Caledonian Craig Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 2 minutes ago, Orraloon said: You're calling me negative? You're mental. I'm pointing out how we can do it with 7 points and you're just lazily saying "we need to win all 3 games". Yes - negative since you did say we have slim to fuk all chance of winning our last three games. Seems very negative to me. It is you that is mental if you think seven points is going to be enough. You flung in a scenario of us beating Slovakia 5-0 - well if that happens or you think it has a chance of happening then why do you feel us winning all three games has slim to fuk all chance of happening? Odd, very odd. More chance of us winning 1-0 V Slovakia and 1-0 V Slovenia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoonTheSlope Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) It's all coming together nicely for another glorious failure We'll be all full of optimism going into the Slovakia game and the buzz around the nation will be electric! Scotland kick off and Slovakia are straight of the mark and pinning us back, less than 90 seconds in, a loose ball from Teirney will be pounced upon by Hamsik, he goes 1 on 1 with Craig Gordon and he slips a low side footed shot under his near post. The next 88 minutes(plus stoppages) sees Scotland pressure the Slovakians but can't break the deadlock. The full time whistles sounds and everyone is deflated but still manage to applaud another failure We all meet up again in Ljubljana and the "No Scotland, No Party" brigade are out in force. We beat Slovenia 3-0 going on 10 and the fans chant "there's only one Gordon Strachan". Wee chicken baws will bring the players onto the field to have a photo taken with us in the background. We all go home happy and have to settle with watching the World Cup on the tele Meanwhile the debate on Wee Chicken Baws' future will rear its head again and many a debate on the wireless, in workplaces and boozers up and down the country alike will divide opinion before Gollum gives WCB time to go away and decide his future which see' WCB remaining in charge for the Nations League campaign. Gollum will delightfully express his belief that there is no one else who could do a better job We'll mump and moan for a few days then when the £50 SSC memberships go on sale we will lap them up like dummy tits in oyster milk and treat ourselves to the new home and away jerseys to wear when we play friendlies in May/June as part of other teams World Cup training camps We'll meet up in September for the Nations League and be ready to do it all over again WHA'S LIKE US!

Aye, it's like the same old film being played on an endless loop. Except I think we will be 2-1 up against Slovakia five minutes into stoppage time and Hamsik pops up to score the equaliser.

I didn't renew my SSC membership this time or my kids. It's quite simply not worth it. Unless the price drops there's no way I'll be getting a membership ever again. I have a recurring nightmare of 0-0 with 2 mins to go and we get a penalty. We miss it and Slovakia break away and score. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being 2-1 up at Hampden has always been dodgy for us going into injury-time. Belgium, Czech Rep, Poland, England......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bino's Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Strachan's woken up and realised playing an attacking formation with the in form players on the park is a good idea Malta, will win Slovakia, can win Slovenia been looking very average too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Bra Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 We could have the weird scenario of Slovakia beating England then England needing us to do them a favour against Slovakia to avoid the play-offs...... Could actually be a 3 or 4 way race to top the group if England don't win on Monday and ourselves and Slovenia both win.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

er yir macaroon Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Qualification is a bonus, but i think we can have a right good side on the horizon. Some way off the top European sides, but enough to qualify for the next few tournaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that worries me is since euro 2008 we have had groups where qualification was definitely possible, there tended to one game where we made a boaby of it. Sooner or later we are going to get a stinker of a group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 The reality is, the conversation we are having here is the same one we have had for the last four or five major tournaments. We manage to turn in some decent performances towards the middle/end of the qualifying and as such, it becomes simple, if we win the last three games, we make the play offs. The question you have to ask though is will we take 6 points from Slovakia at home and Slovenia away? I'd wager heavily on no chance.
