MySpazz Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Young players, great coach, full house..............play offs. In with a chance, where we'd have been 2nd bottom from 5 teams in the group under many previous regimes. We have something to hope for............that's a big change.

So we will now be seeded, and at home, in the Play-Off semis in March. Draw a week Friday. The host for the one-off final, incidentally, will be determined by a draw. Slight worry that both Portugal and Italy are in the Play-Offs, but if we play like that....... Crowd were braw, according to my laddie, who was there. Great to have a national team to be proud of once again. And brilliant that we have a player in the squad. Hopefully, there will be some warm-up matches, and he might get a game. Brilliant performance brilliant result, Did not expect to see Portugal and Italy in the play offs though. At least we can be sure the SFA will refuse a request from FIFA for a loan of their heated balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Russia and Ukraine, apparently, can’t be drawn together because they’ve fallen out. There’s a lot more of this than you think (there’s half a dozen countries Kosovo “can’t” play against). This isn’t right - thats who your playing, and if you don’t like it feck off home. Maybe St Nicola should declare war on Italy and Portugal........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 So long as we maintain our current performance level not too worried about the semi final at Hampden though I would not refuse North Macedonia since I understand this Alexander bloke is no longer available. Would not want Portugal or Italy in our final even if win win the draw for home advantage. If we lose home advantage I think I would hope for Wales, we would have a big support and hopefully less chance of the ref being influenced one way or the other. Anyone know when the draw takes place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abernethy Saint Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Home to Ukraine, then away to the winner of Wales v Austria. Could have been a lot, lot worse. Either Portugal or Italy will not be going to the World Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we got home in the semi by means of our qualifying position (one of best runners-up) and there was then a seperate draw for home in the final, which went against us.

Saintdunc Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Wales, at home, will be a big test, as will Ukraine, both of whom are above us in World Ranking I think. Edited November 26, 2021 by Saintdunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a 37 year old who is clearly drifting towards the end of his career is preferred to a guy who is in his prime for a friendly. A game which will be a very friendly friendly in view of the circumstances. What kind of planning is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall playing for QPR now so keeping his hand in as it were and probably at a higher level there than we are………..at the moment of course!

Cagey Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Hickey a left back at right back ? McTominey in back 3 ?. On paper we have a decent midfield but they are non existent. Ukraine are miles ahead of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixties saintee Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) Real Scotland turned up, getting a fitba lesson fae Ukraine, McGinn misses a open goal wae a header fae 5 yards. Why McTominey keeps getting a game feck knows. This could get embarrasing. Edited June 1, 2022 by sixties saintee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
