DublinMagyar Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Wasn’t great but why the overreacting to the Czech team? Technically Eastern European players are much better than us. It was not their 1st squad but they have embarrassing riches compared to us. No they fucking don't, but they have more balls than we doAnd an actual manager 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Don’t understand how excellent to decent English based players can look woeful when playing for Scotland. Robertson, Fleck, Tierney, McTominay, MacLean et all. Can they really not be fcked playing for the national team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like Andorra could get more points against San Marino etc than we do against better teams and they get a playoff? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically Eastern European players are much better than us. It was not their 1st squad but they have embarrassing riches compared to us. It’s not their first team but also it’s not the normal coaching squad nor did they have any training time together. It’s not just about their quality - we looked less organised and less tactically capable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll always get a playoff. I think you're likely to get a harder one the further up you are, although you might get lucky with others already qualifying. I'd rather be in C than A though. Fair enough. #ClarkeIn then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyFerrino Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I mind I used to look forward to the Scotland games. Now I dread it like a visit to the inlaws or cutting the grass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Just now, G51 said: This is what I want to know: is it better for us to be in Division A, B or C when it comes to trying to qualify for Euro 2024? It's pretty worthless when it comes to WC 2022, because all it gives us is access to the runner up playoff, and only two teams get it. If we're in A, is there a chance we qualify automatically because everyone else is already qualified through the normal route? Or are we better in C so we're playing weaker teams in the playoff, in which case we're better off being relegated? I think we’re better in A, because we’ll be almost guaranteed a playoff spot for turning up. Iceland got a playoff for losing 6-0, 3-0, 2-1 and 2-0 last time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 A win is a win but you’ve got to wonder about the gaffers thought process keeping that for formation to not play Tierney...and still play McTominay at the back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Wasn’t great but why the overreacting to the Czech team? Technically Eastern European players are much better than us. It was not their 1st squad but they have embarrassing riches compared to us. Also, I’ve said for years, STOP picking non Scots. We must have better players than Palmer, Cooper and Dykes. I’d rather see young Scots, desperate to play for their country than some of these journeymen. This would maybe make sense if we only played players from the Scottish leagues.Oh I see, you're and idiot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Fair play to Robertson spinning that. Do Scotland have Malcolm Tucker in that dressing room? Edited September 7, 2020 by TheScarf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only point of that system is to get both Robertson and Tierney in the team. I can’t understand it at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
