It was reckoned that there were about 100,000 of them in France for euro 2016. Although they may have borrowed the Celtic Seville calculator, right enough. 100,.000.Think they are in the land of make believe there.

BryanBlessed Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Any word on when the Netherlands tickets go on sale? They were really late in announcing the sale for the France game, but I live in the area so that wasn't a problem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Thinking of the squad we should name. Clarke should be looking at areas that he is not 100% pleased with. The midfield takes care of itself, the goalkeeping department could do with bolstering, the centre of defence sort of takes care of itself but may be worth looking for other options too and the strikers more chances have to be given to others not looked at properly. For me get Craig Gordon back in as back-up. Centre of defence maybe look at Hyam or another option but generally not much to change. Up front Shankland needs to be given real match time and Ryan Fraser should be recalled too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Gordon of a year ago maybe, he’s not at that level at the moment otherwise he’d be in goal for Hertz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect but i just can't see based on his goalscoring record for club and his lack of ability to force his way into the Scotland team that Brown should be anywhere near the squad for the euros. Think it would be a waste of a squad place. To have three forwards who between them have scored 14 goals in six months would be ridiculous. Dykes and Adams have contributed in the past but to me Brown is a step too far and a waste of a crucial squad spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how much he looks after himself he's 41, so I can't see him getting back into the Hearts or Scotland team. If he does, that will say a lot about Zander Clark.

We don't play with wingers so Fraser would have to be behind the main striker but I can't see him shifting the players we already have available there. Unless we're playing 4 2 3 1 like we did against Ukraine and Ireland. I'd definitely have him and Shankland in the squad and I think one of Dykes or Adams is enough.

Disagree. If he were getting kept out of his club team by a 41-year-old coming back from a serious injury, that says an awful lot. And it would say a lot about the paucity of good keepers if Gordon makes the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that if we were to get through (I don't think will get through anyway, by the way) then I think we could sell 20,000 no bother. Can only sell to SSC members though, no chance 20,000 SSC members would be going back over to Germany (or extending their stays) having been there 2 weeks already. There would 20,000 Scotland fans over i'd guess at a push. Every man and their dug are going for over for the group stages, i reckon Cologne will see 100,000 Scotland fans in and around the city. Seems to be the big one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zander Clark is and always has been a half decent keeper. Give me Gordon over Clark any day and that does not say “a lot” about Clark.

What age would Craig Gordon have to be for people to accept that him being number one for club and/or country is a pretty poor reflection on the keepers behind him in the pecking order? I can't believe we're producing so few keepers that Clark is even in the SPL. He makes saves I'd expect ato be ny keeper to make but rarely makes great saves like Marshall, McGregor and Gordon used to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
