mccaughey85 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I said it in another thread but I have been reading/posting on this board since about 2003/4 and its amazing to finally get to discuss Scotland going to a tournament with ppl on here. Its going to be amazing this summer and even if we get beat in every game I am still going to enjoy every minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLT NY Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Delighted! It was less than two years ago that we lost to 3-0 to Kazakhstan because more than a team full of players that were selected decided to call off like it was the Parable of the Great Banquet. At that point I finally threw in the towel. I didn't think the players we had cared about playing for Scotland, so why should I care about them doing it? Meantime, we have a rugby team with real promise that obviously does play for the shirt. I went full rugby, and I don't think I watched any of the remaining Euros games having never missed a game in 20 years. The best thing about this terrible year has been the resurgence of a Scotland team that sings the anthem (Tierney gets diplomatic immunity just because it's his only visible fault), plays for each other, and clearly loves winning together. Give me guys like Kenny McLean over "stars" that turn up when they feel like it anytime. I know who I'd want to be stepping up for the last penalty for us anyhow.

86glebestreet Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Woke up 30 minutes ago, started greeting🤣 but thought about McTeeko who buried his dad yesterday as I did when the game was over, his head must be all over the place, i don’t know you McTeeko, but I am thinking of you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottincarlisle Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 My head is really sore this morning. After the equaliser & what subs we'd done I thought extra time would have been a real struggle. If Serbia had gone through last night on that performance I don't think I'd have coped.

er yir macaroon Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 A bottle of wine slightly took the edge off the penalties. Got the giggles this morning. Feeling like we will get 7 points in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Bit rough, too much Cardhu. In at work but it's Friday only a half shift. Then I'm going hame to watch the game again (make sure I'm no dreaming).😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Wee bit rough too, but my wee boy screamed the house down and it was great to hear 😂. I'm optimistic. I've an emotional attachment to our manager and I'm not surprised with what he's done with this squad. I'm also not getting the fear of Croatia? They have a sprinkling of talented players at top clubs but so do we. Modric is now 35. Kovacic at Chelsea? Meh. Their most capped defender in the current squad has 14 caps and plays for the Huns. Their keeper is a subby at Aston Villa. In qualification they lost in Hungary and drew in Azerbaijan and Wales. We have nothing to fear. I'm even picturing Fraser running at Kyle Walker and Dykes elbowing Maguire for 90 minutes 😂. This is brilliant 😂💙⚽️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hampden_loon2878 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I was 14 the last time we qualified, watching my brother away on the bus to france,, little did i know it would take 22 years to qualify, so chuffed we have made it, i cant really put it into words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Jim Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Woke up early today. Despite feeling a bit rough, I couldn't get back to sleep. Still buzzin'. Went through all the emotions last night. Watching the interviewees fighting back tears (or trying to) last night had us all going here too. This is the last time I'll mention it (as there's no need anymore), but they had me thinking again of the old guys in bunnets greetin' at Hampden in '73. They only had to wait 15 years, but were there to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parklife Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Have watched that Christie interview about 15 times and it makes me well up every time. Love it. So incredibly chuffed. For myself, for my mates who I'll (hopefully) get to go to the games with, for every Scotland fan on here who's had years of torture following the team, for all the wee kids who'll get the chance to fall in love with the team seeing us at a major tournament & for the players and staff who've shown ability, determination and bucketloads of courage and thoroughly deserve this. Im so happy. Roll on June! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other side of the coin is systems and coaching. Put it all together and you can get the rub of the green Thankfully, Steve Clarke knows what he's doing.

Bristolhibby Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Yes. We were owed this. The blood, sweat, emotional trauma we have put into following Scotland. If you are of a similar age to me, or a bit younger, you have never been to a tournament. My cousin 10 years my senior (he’s 50) has tales of Euro 92, 96 and the World Cup in France 98. My Dad in his mid 60s has tales of trips to Wembley on the Wembley specials, Anfield and the likes. We have nothing (bar qualifiers). Finally we catch a break.
