They way your trolling them it seems to me that you want Wales to win . You write industrial strength nonsense with a dash of racial superiority thrown in ('natural order of things') that can only galvanise the proud boyos.  Have you learned nothing from Max Boyce, you fool !

What on earth are you on about? Very strange post. It's the natural order of things because Wales is a smaller country that isn't interested in football, there's nothing racialised about it.

Bar a few exception years, on the whole Scotland will have a better football team and Wales a better rugby team. Just as it has always been.

The system makes sense (hopefully!)

Without Tierney the usual system wouldn't work same 

Though Mcginn plays best stuff at 10

Would rather Mctominay in midfield 3 and drop Christie with Mcginn playing off front two

Don't let the excitement of Scotland playing tonight distract you from the fact that it's a disgrace that the Qatar World Cup was not boycotted.

The wc being there certainly sticks in the throat.

Given I'm up for offering people out for what they do to the Gaelic bit of Loch Lomond I'm not sure that's true. 

Hope, hope, we live in hope. That's what I sing anyway at that bit.

I'm usually more nervous than this but I've just got a feeling we're going to completely turn them over. 

An early goal would do wonders tbh. The longer it is 0-0 the more I'll get the fear.

Isn't anyone worried about Yarmolenko and Malinosvyi attacking the left side of our defence? or Mykolenko, Mudryk and Zinchenko attacking the right side of our defence? or big Yaremchuk going up against Grant Hanley?

I'm worried about the whole thing. We're favourites but...Ukraine will be so up for this. We need to be ready to deal with a team that will be utterly pumped for this. Like I've said before, tiring them out might be a gameplay to consider.

There's also the prospect that Ukraine are gonna go full pelt at kick-off and we'll just need to weather a bit of a storm, hopefully with Gilmour and McGregor calming things down when they get the chance. I can see the first 20 mins or so being pretty dodgy and fans getting annoyed, but hopefully we're able to take the sting out of that and take control.

I'm banking on them being far too emotionally invested that they lose a bit of focus on the basics. Hoping also that their recent friendly successes were helped, at least in part, by nobody really wanting to beat them and that had given them a false impression of their abilities.

Whatever happens we cannot let them get ahead.

I predict this will be the team:

                     Gordon 

     Mctominay Hanley McKenna 

SOD                                                Robertson

             Gilmour      Mcgregor  

        Mcginn                      Christie 

                           Adams

think there’s absolutely zero chance that we change formation. I would be tempted not to play O’Donnell, he has never let us down defensively but he is very limited on the ball, looks like he’s been passed a live grenade when he gets it. Would also see justification for Hendry/Souttar and pushing Mctominay into midfield two but would be happy with either. Hope we don’t start Dykes and Adams

Its questionable whether this Scotland team should be getting beat at home off any team who have to contend with the circumstances Ukraine have had to. Thats before you take into account that against England as mentioned above, they were an absolute gang who had zero to offer. 

I am beginning to shite myself cos its us, but we should have way too much for them tonight.

I think thatll be close but with Hickey at RWB, Cooper over McKenna and Dykes over Christie.

My Nephe.w in Canada reckons the fans should burn an effigy of Putin before the game.

I explained that the TA is now civilised (-ish)  and Hampden is all seated so would be difficult.

I'm sure we'd have been up for it 40 or so  years ago.
