  We also failed to slip up against the minnows as so often happens.

This is the first time since 2002 qualifying we haven't dropped points against one or both of the bottom two seeds. Obviously in that group it was our record against our rivals for first and second that fucked us, but in pretty much every group since we've missed out by fewer points than we've dropped against minnows.

Stunned that appointing a good manager has rectified this issue.

Patterson is as good as any other right back in world football? 

Wow

He's a good young player with a good chance of making it to a high level. 

 

Clarke seems to rate him and Patterson is paying back his faith in him.

Yeah but that wasn't the statement made. 

The statement was that he was as good as any other right back in world football. 

England have at least 4 who are better for a start.

Steve Clarke said previously they will look to tweak the system from the last time we played Moldova where we had Gilmour sitting with Christie and McGinn in more advanced roles supporting Dykes and Nisbet.

I can’t imagine he will use to the 3-4-1-2 against Moldova. While it an effective strategy against nations such as England and Austria it’s maybe not best suited for Faroe Islands and Moldova and isn’t really in line with hints about tweaking the shape.

Steve Clarke said the gameplan won’t stray too much from tried and tested so I’m still expecting wing backs and three centre backs so I think we will see a 3-4-2-1 something along these lines. Maybe give or take personnel but something like that.

Spot on mate.

Which is why I gave an alternative opinion.

In that case, James Tavernier must clearly be an Intergalactic Class player.  You'd think he'd get a sniff at an occasional England squad then, wouldn't you?

Tavernier is nailed on at rightback for the Milky Way XI when they take on Andromeda Town.

I remember listening to that match on the radio.

You're having to go back to the early 80s and the 70s (40-50 years) to find a comparable Scotland team from the past.

The country is in a good place right now.

We'll never have the spine of a multiple European cup winning side again 

Current crop are vast improvement on last 20 years but world class,  afraid not

I know it’s the Scottish way, but can’t we all just get pleasure from a great run of results, with a young squad, who I believe SSC has playing more like a club side than any other Scots team in decades? 
I’m fucking delighted today, it’s been a great journey, and seeded or not, we have at least 1 more “cup final” to look forward to.

Its been a long time since we’ve been able to say we are 2 wins away from being in a World Cup finals.

Also- GIRFUY Israel!

I certainly will not.

And no, we haven't really.

And yes, we most certainly do.

Enjoy your day.
