RightPeg Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Haven't seen this anywhere on the forum yet. But, wouldn't it be soooooo Scotland to draw nil nil in the semi and lose a penalty shootout? As it's a single leg I'm assuming we got to ET then pens. Would you fancy our chances in a shoot out?

vanderark14 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I honestly can't remember us being involved in a shoot out, you have to be good at football and reach knock out stages for that to happen You would expect McGinn, Naismith, Christie, Forrest and McTominey to step up, all of which I would be confident would be capable of scoring.

AndyDD Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I don't even want to contemplate that. Imagine a penalty shoot out in the final? Horrific tension. Anal nerves collapsing nation wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha aw you're right, it would be sensational. The outpouring of joy and relief would be all the greater due to the tension. I reckon we'd blow a penalty shootout, though. No many players in our squad who have taken part in one. They will need to practice it but, for the first time since, what, the Dutch playoff under Vogts? Been no prospect of one since then. Thankfully we'll no need one, we'll skoosh the final at Hampden by two clear goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Pete Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I don’t think we’ll be any worse at penalties than any of the teams we’ll play. It would be a lottery though and would be a horrible way to go out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also say that Scotland's problem is not quality players (apart from CBs) it's playing as a team unit but we have good individuals. Penalties would probably suit us on paper. I'd happily see Naismith, McGinn, McGregor, Fraser, Robertson, Forrest, Tierney, hit them. Shouldn't get further than that.

Orraloon Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 If we get drawn against Romania I would settle for penalties right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Quick quiz question while we are waiting for the draw. Should be easy for older viewers but the youngsters might not know about it? Which Scottish team lost a penalty shoot out but still went through to the next round?

Scotland have never taken part in a penalty shoot out at full international level. Potentially we could have been had we drawn with England at Wembley in the 1986 Rous Cup game or if the play offs V Australia (1985), England (1999) and Holland (2003) had finished level on aggregate. Only ever one full Scotland gone to extra time - Czechoslovakia in 1961 the play off for the 1962 World Cup. 2-2 after 90 minutes, Czechs won 4-2 in the end. Again those three two legged play offs could have gone to ET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they all went ahead with the shootout and later on some journo told them they should've been through cos of the away goals. Something like that anyway. Totally changed days.
