Hertsscot Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 1-0 down to Portugal having been dominant but have let in a very soft goal courtesy of keeper's error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Goalkeeper is definitely Scotland's weakest area. Other countries seem to have made a lot of progress in that position but we're behind the curve there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stitch Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Kirkie that is your choice but some people do feel Scottish and British. If they are still willing to give their all for us then who else they play for doesn't matter. We don't have independence yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In men's or women's football playing for Scotland should be the ultimate, the highest honour. TEAMGEEBEE can chuff right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 It's basically an England squad with a couple of tokens who happen to be Scots. I'm so glad it's unlikely to ever be repeated in men's football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfieMoon Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Looks like Hampden is the new home for the SWNT. The press release talks about their ambitions to grow the game and somehow link this decision to making that happen. Given the apathy at times towards the men’s team playing at half full Hampden, I’d have thought that there was potentially more value in moving the women’s games round the country to try and grow the game and reach all areas of the country, rather than simply sitting it in Glasgow. Maybe have the biggest group game at Hampden and then any send-off type matches before a tourney like they did when they played Jamaica before a previous major tourney. If it’s about giving equality then that’s fair enough but for if it’s about growing the game then it’s maybe not the best decision.

KirkieRobRoy Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I think there's a pride about playing at Hampden and it may bring bigger crowds. In any case, there's going to be socially distancing for a while so if they pull in 10k, better Hampden than somewhere smaller. The two announcements- manager and stadium - were nicely timed to coincide with TEAMGEEBEE playing at the Olympics, a reminder of which women's national team actually matters. What a pity a few days before the SFA had broken their silence on that by congratulating Kim Little for her token TEAMGEEBEE co-captaincy.

Malcolm Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Would we have the same problem playing a European team? I personally don’t care. The reality is that these players are all Scottish, British and European, so it’s fair game to represent any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I’m not pretending to be thick, I am aware of the perceived threat to our status as an independent team by some.

I don't agree with GB anything, I think we should be an independent country with everything that entails, including sports teams. However, at the last time of asking my view was the minority one, so we are where we are. There are definite cons in this instance but one of the pros is that it gives these girls experience of playing tournament football, something, hopefully, they can pass onto their Scotland teammates should they qualify again soon. Banning these lassies - two of our best players in the women's game - from representing Scotland again really would be cutting our noses off to spite our face.
