I've been to a few Scotland futsal internationals (one in Perth at the Bell Centre), it's a decent game to watch not dissimilar to 5's. That said we're still novices and will get humped in all three games probably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing... never ? Unis will have juggled games around over the years - maybe back in the day some were cancelled outright, it's possible. Doubt enough ever turned out for (old) Scotland Amateurs. EDIT: Modern players have gone soft anyway: third and final qualifier is 5pm on Friday 1st February so that gives them over 21 hours to get back from Bosnia to Perth... ...Headlines you thought you'd never see #123... East of Scotland League game cancelled as club have too many players called-up for the national team.

HibeeJibee Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Scotland Futsal's games in the Preliminary Qualifying Tournament for the Futsal World Cup 2020 in Lithuania are as follows. All games are at the Zenica Arena in Bosnia-Herzegovina. I think kickoffs are BST:Tuesday 29th January ... 8pm ... Turkey Futsal v Scotland Futsal Wednesday 30th January ... 8pm... Bosnia-Herzegovina Futsal v Scotland Futsal Thursday 31st January ... no game Friday 1st February ... 5pm ... Switzerland Futsal v Scotland Futsal There are 32 teams in the PQT drawn in 8 groups of 4, each hosted by a participant. Top 2 in each progress to the Main Qualifying Tournament where they join 16 seeds with the same format (8 groups of 4). Top 2 in each progress to the Elite Qualifying Tournament (4 groups of 4) from which the 4 group winners, and 2 playoff winners for runners-up, qualify for FWC 2020. EDIT: Here's the Scotland Futsal squad - there are 2 Heriot-Watt Uni players too but I don't think they play much/at all for their EOSL side. Tayport has 1 man involved.

HibeeJibee Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Scotland Futsal succumbed 4-3 to the Turks, with a brace from McLaren and a goal from Yates, both of Jeanfield. Bosnia-Herzegovina thrashed the Swiss 7-1. Scotland face the Bosnians today - a loss coupled with a Turkish win would see them eliminated with 1 game to spare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Switzerland 3-2 Turkey was a good result for Scotland Futsal... Bosnia-Herzegovina 10-1 Scotland Futsal was not. Any qualification hope now rests on Scotland beating Switzerland by at least 3 goals, and the hosts continuing their rampant form by beating Turkey by at least 7 goals (or add an extra Scotland goal for every Bosnian goal you delete). Realistically that's an outside shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question - how is a professional players allowed to be signed/associated to another SFA affiliated club. Would this not be similar to playing for 2 teams and therefore a protest? Pretty sure I wouldn't be happy if a signed player of Linlithgow was to get himself injured whilst playing futsal for another club.

Many Futsal players around the world play the 11-a-side game for clubs as well as Futsal. In England, you can be signed for two different 11-a-side clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are paying wages as I assume are Jeanfield - a contract which entitles a player to a weekly wage. Add on discipline - if a player is suspended etc etc. You don't see Mo Salah playing for Liverpool, Futsal and Brentford. I know at lower levels in England you can play Saturday and Sunday teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Think it's OK as it's not 11-aside. Incidentally you can play for different Saturday + Sunday amateurs here, IIRC? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Don't forget university competitions, which - technically - involve "select XIs"... someone might play for (say) Spartans, but if a student, also appear for Heriot-Watt Uni on Wednesday afternoons.

I have never witnessed so much dross football in my life with so many teams no better than glorified amateurs. Keep being told how gd things will be from nxt season. Think alot of clubs will be wishing they'd stayed put. Apart from the good of producing a fixture list, this in my opinion has put football in the east back 20 or 30 yrs. Scottish Junior Cup days were special. There certainly isn't alot to get excited abt nowadays. Spot on -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
