Owsley Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Am I right that this game is only on Premier Sports, which I don't have? Not even non-HD on ITV4 as apparently snooker is more important. Of course England's meaningless match tonight is free on Channel 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers pick squads to give themselves a group to work with obviously and there's a requirement to name a squad for tournament finals. Genuinely not sure there is for qualifying matches. Clearly there are the practicalities of getting a valid passport and potentially a visa for the destination country in some cases (I assume we can move freely to Poland for work can we?). I'd have thought if it took our fancy to fill out a squad there's nothing to prevent Stevie Clarke naming himself and Steven Naismith in the squad as long as he submits a teamline the designated 2 hours before kick off, or however long it is. Anyone know for sure? Each match is treated individually as far as I can tell, but you need to get your matchday squad finalised and confirmed to UEFA by midnight of the day before: "44.01 Each association must provide the UEFA administration with a list of 23 players (surnames, first names, club and date of birth) as well as the surnames, first names and date of birth of the head coach and assistant coach, mentioning their coaching qualifications. Three of these 23 players must be goalkeepers. 44.02 For the league phase and for play-out matches, the list of 23 players must be completed online by 24.00CET the day before the match. A signed copy of this list must be handed to the UEFA match delegate at the pre-match organisational meeting." https://documents.uefa.com/r/Regulations-of-the-UEFA-Nations-League-2022/23/Article-43-Player-eligibility-Online The list of 26 or so that comes out a week or two before the first game in a triple header is only so published so that fans / clubs / players know who's been called up. Basically, if Shankland or whoever was called up today because Adams is shitting himself inside out, it seems we could get him into the squad for tomorrow (assuming of course travel is possible, which it surely would be). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also drew 1-1 in Moldova. 2008 ECQ - Lost in Georgia 2010 WCQ - Lost in Macedonia 2012 ECQ - Draw in Lithuania 2014 WCQ - Drew at home to Macedonia 2016 ECQ - Beaten in Georgia again 2018 WCQ - Drew at home to Lithuania 2020 ECQ - Humped in Kazakhstan The most recent campaign was the first one since the 2002 world cup qualifying that we didn't drop points against any minnows. Lithuania, Georgia and North Macedonia have been particularly tricky customers for us over the years. I don't think the 6-0 against Holland belongs on this list. They were a very very good side. Mate your still not getting it, its his personal feelings as to what was an embarrassing game. He can't be wrong. There is no correct or incorrect answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Wonder why we all announce our squads then and give the game away. If I had a key player - and the opposition would want to work on how to stop them - I'd announce that they were injured, not include them on my announced squad and then look at their faces when he swaggers down the tunnel. I'd probably put on some triumphant music for effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 No announcement on any replacements, so either one or both are expected to be available (Adams sounding more likely than Dykes) or it’s going to need to be a 4-6-0 or 5-5-0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news, I think this will be a game well suited to Adams, maybe us playing on the counter attack a bit. A downside to his game though is hold-up play, really just plays the channels a bit, but anyway him being fit is at least a good bit better than having him out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Scran and Scallie thing, its now looking more likley that some Scotland players infected people there than the other way round !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left the pub just as we scored the winner heard the roars but didn't even turn back. Defeats and 0-0 vs Lithunaia were also filed in a similar category. Also the2-0 defeat in Georgia. Last two probably down to missed opportunities more than anything else. Despite being an absolutely atrocious game the #scenes in Hampden when we scored the winner against Lichtenstein were great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I'll be in Birmingham. Premier Sports doesn't really carry much in the way of football that will interest English pubs to pay the exhorbitant fees I don't think? Might need to be the iPad in the hotel bar.
