Its perhaps a shame the PSV/Galatasaray game is now such a forgone conclusion, or we'd have Celtic fans also pushing to allow Galatasaray to play in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibbydoo Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 What I don't get is how can UEFA force us to make a decision by Tuesday when we don't officially know who we are playing? They surely can't just assume that Galatasary won't win their home game 5-0 can they??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Thinking about it, would a one leg affair at a neutral venue be better for us, in terms of progression chances, than a 2 legged tie that meant we had to play in a packed stadium in Turkey? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I guess you can claim you have zero contact with anyone abroad with a training camp, while we can't really. Sounds like positive news coming out tonight though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I don’t think the government would’ve said they’re looking at it without positive news myself. Why set yourself up to piss off a large amount of people in 2 marginal constituencies without having a plan in place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 "International travel restrictions remain necessary to limit the importation of the virus and variants of concern,” a Scottish Government spokesperson told The Sun.

If they manage to make exceptions they're on to a winner, if they can't they'll blame the Tories in Westminster and score points on their main competitors in those two marginals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) A bit late, but built a model that can find "similar" players, based on how they play + a splattering of how well they play it. This is the 5 most similar players in our top flight to Wotherspoon. Perhaps club have used similar and thats why Gardyne and McAllister were looked in to? Hedges/Wright unattainable, while Polworths lack of defensive work makes him a poor result for this really? Harry Paton appears high too but similar issue to Polworth. Wotherspoon really is a unicorn though, its genuinely hard to find someone so good attacking wise and defensively. When I open this up to include all Scottish leagues, and look only for AMs, Luke McCowan comes out top Edited July 22, 2021 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something in this. Over 2 legs beating them would be a tough ask, but in a single game..... especially after they get a roasting from their own fans if they get beat from PSV again. If we do play over 2 legs, then we should play it somewhere cold and northern. Iceland maybe? Make them travel as far as we can and also in conditions that are an advantage to us. No point in going to Croatia or Malta where we will be at a disadvantage with the heat. I'm sure Galatasary will look to keep the game as close to them and not make it easy for us. Its not like they will look to play their home leg in Norway or anything. Time Scottish club got a bit more clever about the gamesmanship side of things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csteinle Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Westminster isn't responsible for health. It's a Scottish Government decision.True, but Westminster covers border control and international travel. Easily allows finger pointing in the press even if it's disingenuous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
