22/6/21  Kick Off. 20.00

We should top table with 9 points.

 

 

Here’s the thing, I believe we can actually win any or all of these games.

No fear of this group

Of course whether we win any remains to be seen, but we can definitely win them all.

Let’s get sensible here. We failed miserably from the qualification group, suffering heavy defeats along the way. We subsequently managed to qualify via the back door after draws against Israel and Serbia, scoring one goal in the process. We have improved, but from a very low point and may continue to improve, but goals are our Achilles heel. I am very pleased the national team has finally made it to a finals , having been at France 98, but a huge improvement is required to avoid our perennial failure at mixing with the big boys. 

The sensible thing to consider would be a remarkable consistency in results and solidity at the back.

Here is another group in which Scotland “can actually win any or all of their games.”

World Cup qualifying.

Pot 3: Russia, Hungary, Republic of Ireland, Czech Republic, Norway, Northern Ireland, Iceland, Scotland, Greece, Finland.

We can't be drawn against any of those teams.

Have I missed something?

No, oxter -  you're right on the money!

 

Those are the other teams as rubbishy as Scotland so they are also in that pot to be drawn.

 

But I would mildly  fancy Scotland's chances against them...

Looks like there will be no Euro Matches played at Hampden.

 

 

All because unlike the other countries, Nicola isn’t prepared to give false promises that she knows she can’t guarantee keeping.

No not that. My thing. 👍😃

The numbers in Scotland are well within levels to give this decision on attendances the go ahead.

If wee Nicky doesn't,  she'll continue to lose support.

 

On a brighter note, Kenny Dalglish, possibly the best Scottish player I have ever seen, is 70 today. 

Wonder what he'd be worth in todays market?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest there's probably not much of a market for a 70 year old ex-footballer.

Ah! The magnificently plummaged epidemiolgy expert has arrived on the scene to lend us his wisdom.

You know for a fact that the other 10 countries have given  an assurance that they will allow spectators?

As far as I know no one has given "assurances", that's due by April 7th. 

 

So, only a couple of venues have changed for the Euro's.

Dublin, replaced by St Petersburg stadium, quite a long way from Dublin, and Wembley. 

BIlbao matches moved to Seville, not as much of a change in distance.

All remaining games are as were planned. 

Tournament kicks off on Friday 11th June with Turkey playing Italy in Rome, kick off 8:00pm.
