mccaughey85 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 8 minutes ago, Texas Pete said: Finding shite teams to try and guarantee a win would be absolutely pathetic. If you can’t see that then there’s not much else I can say. I didn’t say there would be security issues with teams coming to Glasgow. I meant there may be security issues with our players going to certain African countries. It's a case of mixing it up and thinking about the morale of the squad and fans. As i said i ain't massively complaining but it will slightly disappointing if we lose three in a row after the run we are on right now. It is what it is and we will just have to battle on and hopefully get a result in one of the games. I dont care as long as we get a result in georgia.

Ppl are getting a bit carried away, we are still a long way off the elite nations and the idea of getting beat three times consecutively after going on a such a great run recently is a bit of bummer. It's not that i am hugely bothered but if i had the choice I would swap the France game for an easier game but its done now so we will just have to battle through. We learn Jack from playing inferiot opponents. And we aren't in need of morale- boosting wins. At the Euros we were like rabbits in the headlights due to us having not played high calibre teams so Clarke is not making that mistake again. As he says to get better you have to test yourself against the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we lose to England and Spain I think we will win in Tbilisi. We’re due a win over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Chris Sutton blowing this theory out of the water that none of our players would get in their side by stating Jordan Henderson would not get into Scotland's midfield.

vanderark14 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I do care about tonight's result. Its has no bearing on us qualifying and if it was a choice between losing tonight and qualifying I would obviously choose the Euros BUT this isn't the choice. We play our oldest rivals in a one off game tonight and getting one over them would be great because we haven't beaten them since 1999. We never played them again till 2013 and since then have played them 7 times with 0 wins. IN TE THEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the england starting midfield nowadays? Surely we have something better than Maguire who is lucky to be playing at man utd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not as strong as they used to be at CH (when they had Ferdinand, Terry, Carragher etc) but I don't think there's anyone in our squad you could say is definitely better than what they have.

Caledonian Craig Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 And one thing I am certain of is that we have the better manager. I am more than happy with the Robertson/Tierney pivot and take that over anything England has. Hickey is solid at right-back and has proven himself abroad whereas people get gooet-eyed over Rice because of transfer fee. Give me our settled, well-drilled midfield who play as a unit too over England's much-lauded stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templeton_Peck Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Really hope GSTK isnt given the usual treatment tonight. Its a cringe when the boos start and all it will do is give England more motivation to beat us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be booing with gusto, not because it's the English anthem ( it's not) I will boo because of the arrogance of them thinking the BRITISH national anthem is theirs If they had an English one, I would stand quietly and listen like I do with every other anthem. So it's a BOOOOO from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I am aware no other anthem on earth is offensive to us so I don’t get why some people think it’s fine to boo any old anthem. I was just wondering why Face from the A Team was hoping GSTK wasn’t going to be booed tonight when it 100% will be. He might as well hope for every single Scotland fan to turn up sober tonight.

I also struggle a wee bit to consider the 1999 win a “proper” victory as England knew they were still 2-1 up in the tie. We’ll never know if we’d have won that game had it been a one off. So for me, the last indisputable victory was the Gough game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
