I've always found getting bothered about shite teams scoring a goal against you to be a bit weird. I remember folk going on about how embarrassing it was that Gibraltar had scored against us at Hampden, even though we battered them 6-1. Bad teams can still score goals without too much hassle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually found them scoring against us quite amusing. It was a very attacking lineup IIRC, I don't think Strachan was too bothered about defending in that game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Considering rotation and reactions to the Ukraine game, I think this is a harder lineup to predict than a week ago. - McTominay could well replace Gilmour in midfield, but McGregor tends to get rotated these days so may well be again. - Robertson could get a rest, though I'd imagine he'll be raring to go. - While I think Adams will start, there's a (slight) chance Clarke will want to try something new up front like Moldova at home. - Clarke's shown faith in Hendry over the last 12 months or so, so is he the guy to come in if McTominay moves into midfield or is it Souttar? Providing everyone's fit, I'd go with: Gordon Souttar Hanley McKenna Patterson Gilmour McGregor Robertson McGinn Adams Christie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The corollary to that is that we can't get too excited when we score against good teams. If we can't moan about Gibraltar's one goal, then we can't celebrate Dave Narey's toepoke that gave us 15 glorious minutes of beating Brazil in 1982. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why, as I always thought he was great for Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it was a back three, but rather than the usual three centre backs with two wing backs, he basically played a single CB and two full backs. I think he ended up having to make a change pretty early on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to him BTW? He seems to have disappeared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a book of letters between him and his Swedish pal written during the 2014 world cup. So it's at least a little appropriate for the company. There's a Ghanaian lad and one from Slovakia too. High level of diversity here. Only seen one glengarry too. Genuinely excited for this game now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more than happy with that team. The dream would be coasting at half time, with the ability to see new faces and rest key players in the second half.

I often think fans are guilty of not realising that football managers obviously know a lot more about the game than us, but then you get belters like that lineup. The village idiot could've pointed out the flaw in the system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
