F knows who I would play next week I don’t think either team is our first team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's team will be the starting 11, unless anything happens behind the scene, next Monday IMO. The good thing is we have a decent bench, not said that for a few years.

Saint@Johnstone Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Lol, 1-0 against ten men. Nothing up front, rather pathetic and that’s without seeing any of the game. Ought to qualify from the group but of course, won’t. Also heard some fans are being told to turn up hours before kick off. What a nerve.

Ok, since you seen confuddled why Clarke has BT on his tracksuit when the games are on Sky let me explain................. BT, which we've established, are THE main sponsor of the Scotland football team are not BT Sport. I do hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is we have a decent bench, not said that for a few years. Disagree mate. for a start I don’t think both Dykes and Adams will start. I also think Cooper will replace Gallagher and possibly Hendry will replace Hanley. I think one of Christie, Armstrong or Fraser will come in for either Adams or Dykes. Probably Adams. Il not saying that’s the team I want to start, but I think it’s the team Clarke will pick. Edited June 6, 2021 by TPAFKA Jersey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 We are a reasonable 6/5 to qualify, that's including one of the best third place positions. On a more amusing note, we are 200/1 to win the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 The media, quite rightly, are really going to town on us qualifying with all sorts of piss poor programmes on TV. I don't buy/read newspapers but I assume they will have be similar. At the same time I am genuinely excited, although I usually look forward to a major tournament, at our involvement. By the time next Monday comes round I'll be really up for it. C'mon Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I see the Czechs beat Albania 3-1 last night, decent enough result TBH. Been having a wee look at the results/form (aye, tell @oaksoft it matters) of Croatia. Out of the last 5 they have won 2 (Malta & Cyprus) Drawn 1 (Armenia) and lost 2 (Slovenia & Belgium) Scoring 6 and conceding 3. They have quite a few "big names" in their side but are not prolific scorers. (Hope I'm not tempting fate) All we can hope is that by the time our game against them comes around it matters and we have an opportunity to go through to the next round. C'mon Scotland.

faraway saint Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 The kick off times for the Euros are 2:00pm, 5:00pm and 8:00pm, the majority being at the two later times. Quite a lot of football over the next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland are almost 2/1 to win the first game, interesting enough for me to place a small wager, although I'll probably wait till closer to kick off.

faraway saint Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Another decision that is baffling by the Scottish government. The 12,000 fans that are allowed into Hampden can't buy food/drinks. What's the difference buying the same items in a shop? Oh, @div was just on the same item on STV.

I planned to watch the game myself but ended up going out for something to eat. Although it can’t be denied that 3-1 against Albania is an ok result, I’ve heard from many sources (including our own Jimmy H) that the Czechs were far from impressive. Also a lot of folk saying that they looked incredibly vulnerable down the flanks defensively and had zero width in attack. The inference being that a better team than Albania would have exposed these frailties more. Let’s hope that’s true, but we all know I guess that the only thing that matters is what happens on the day. I’m definitely a lot more confident than I was before.

Honestly not doing my usual jump to the defence of the SG, but (genuine question) do you know for sure that it was definitely an SG decision. If so, it’s made even stranger by the fact that UEFA are allowed to have a souvenir stall open, but the pie stall has to shut. What’s the difference?

My apologies, I was misinformed and never checked it out. It seems it's a UEFA decision. Yet Wembley are still offering hospitality packages and I can't find anything to support similar conditions for the general football supporters.

Scott-Leeds Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I won’t be able to watch this live I leave home before 5:30 every weekday and generally finish work by 2:30, however I’m doing the School run between 2:45-3:15 so will see most of the first half - pause - restart , then skip half time pish and probably be around 20 minutes behind all of you watching it Need to keep off my phone so no spoilers Czechs 1-3 Scotland [emoji2528] I think we will win 1 , lose 1 , draw 1 = 4pts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Wonder why we're based in Middlesbrough rather than in Scotland? Surely there's facilities sufficient for us closer to home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
