Lion Rampant Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 First goal is absolutely crucial tonight. If we get ahead then the crowd will be lifted, and the players will be that little bit more confident and the Ukrainians will have to chase the game and they might not have the match fitness to do so.

Just seen the BBC breakfast report about the match, they were talking about the 3-1 game back in 2007, but then showing the Ukraine players crying and with the fact we'll be singing their anthem, this is adding up to something in not looking forward to. They might lack match practice, but remember they are still a good side and they were unbeaten in their arranged friendlies Anyone that does this should be banned from Hampden.

He has a very distinctive look that can be easily replicated. He comes with his own catchy song. He has 'putin' in his name.

Even in wild dreams if we went a couple of goals up and they appeared broken mentally I'd be bricking it sympathy would kick in unconsciously allowing them back into it.

KirkieRobRoy Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 They have very good players playing at a very good level and have a very good record but fitness MUST be an issue. So we must spring out of the traps and keep the pressure on throughout the game and use the entire pitch. I haven't heard of any Scots wanting Ukraine to win (except Souness). Probably everybody else does, though. Fair enough. War bad, Putin bad, sympathy to Ukraine, I'll applaud their fans, team and I've got a Ukr flag for their anthem but then that gets pocketed, it's football not the preliminaries and we get out there, 11 playersand 50,000 in the stands and do our very best to, effectively, shoot Bambi. Passing thought - everybody wants us to lose; this must be what being English feels like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
