SlickDT Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I'm actually going just to see the quality players that Belguim will have on offer. There squad is unreal and if they play to their potential they will easily beat us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There squad is unreal and if they play to their potential they will easily beat us. Â ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Â Ne'er mind, you can always admire the faceless men in their 'suits' and 'brogues' who, no doubt, will be taking their dignified positions up there in the VIP sections. It's a pity folk won't boycott these events until the SFA can be coerced into running Scottish football in a more honest fashion. An empty Hampden would certainly provoke the media, if not in Scotland, to ask some questions. blueheaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 If Scotland play like they did against Croatia and England they can give anyone a reasonable game. Â I fear that we lack a fearless leader though - a Colin Hendry type who would put everything on the line for his country. Â That strength of character spread through the team. Â For all Scott Brown is a tough character, I feel his aggression is often misdirected. Â While I don't think he is of an appropriate standard yet - someone with Muzz's drive and determination would really benefit the Scotland squad as a whole. Â Scotland have, for the first time in a long time, got some genuinely creative players. Â They need more drive though, more national pride. Â I think playing England again will have helped that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Quite a few short-arses in that starting team.....Forrest...pffffff....massively over-rated imo. Â Good to see Griffiths start as he is the kinda player that might snatch a goal from nothing, and I reckon we wont get many chances tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Any score yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 No, but Griffiths booked!! Â Hope he doesn't make an arse of a real chance for him by being, well, himself!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think playing England again will have helped that though. Â You still sticking to this drivel? Scotland got a lucky result in Croatia by defending well and catching Croatia on a rare off day. We scored a lucky goal and a great goal at Wembley and played some decent stuff at times against a lax, over-rated England. And because of that we can give anybody a game? I'll glide over the blinkered Muzz part and come to ask: who are these talented creative players we have? I keep hearing about our talented attacking players and I can't think of a single genuinely talented and technical forward player in our squads. We've got some workers who have some strong individual aspects to their game but no gifted creative players. The two Belgian fullbacks, who are both actually centre halves, have more ability, skill, better passing and composure than any Scottish player and more than the majority of the English squad while we're at it. The real positive that has come from the Strachan era, other than the return of a little rub of the green, is that in Martin and Hanley (who is still rough and makes rash decisions but could be a very good deender in time) we have a centre hal pairing that has some understanding and some promise. In the words of Chuck D, "Don't Believe the Hype!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltrane Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Were not in the same league as teams like Belgium unfortunately. Probably not even in the league below them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babychunder Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 A reasonable performance against a very classy team. I fell though that the 2 CBs have some way to go, and we didn't get any supply to Griffiths. Maybe we should have started Rhodes, a bit more physical against these big Belgian defenders.

Real Madrid Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 The biggest positive to come from the Strachan era is that Levein is not the manager. Coltrane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
