maxjak Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Slightly biased half time analysis by so called experts? The Swiss are playing by far the better football, and if that stupid defender had not intervened, then the Swiss keeper would have easily collected a weak Mctominay shot?

Robbored Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Lots of coverage on TV about their tour around Germany and what a tremendous time they all seem to be having. They know that their team is pretty crap yet despite that they’re still enjoying themselves and hoping that they’ll witness history if Scotland beat Hungary They’ve apparently become legendary in Germany!

RedRaw Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Don’t really see what all the fuss is about. The media overhyping the underdog….”5hit team but look at our fans”, remind you of anyone? Yes they take numbers but so do a lot of other countries. They our colourful and sing a lot but so do a lot of other countries. They drink and party and apparently don’t cause any trouble but so do a lot of other countries. i think the only difference between Scotland and most other countries is they all wear skirts! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been out in Germany and everyone’s having a great time, Scot’s are no different . Dutch, Albania, Swiss, poles etc all got great numbers and are enjoying the German beer. Not all jocks play to the fun loving loser stereotype , one group we met referred to Ross mcRorie as an orange b ****. Told em we ain’t into that sectarian nonsense in the West Country. For a good time get out there and follow England (while we’re still in it)!! Following England away is always a laugh and the Germans are great hosts too. Great country for watching football- for all countries. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 It's primarily because Scottish participation is so rare. They interviewed one bloke who said that he didn't go when he was eighteen as money was tight, he would go next time thinking that would be in four years' time. Next time turned out to be 2024 when he was 46, hence it's a big event for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I was amazed at how many Scots there were in Frankfurt these last few days tbf. Given they aren't even playing there. And it wasn't like there was loads of fans from other countries there either. Was just England, Danes and Scots basically. Only saw good natured banter between England and Scotland fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) Had a good look at the draw and it is clear to me that we absolutely have to win the group. 2nd place will probably mean Germany in the next round and if we beat them then Spain. 1st place would be a 3rd place team then someone like Switzerland, Italy or Croatia. 3rd place would mean either Portugal or whoever wins Belgium's group followed by probably Holland. Basically don't finish 2nd. I get that we're playing shit and look hopeless but I'm old enough to remember Italy in 82, Portugal in 2016, Denmark in 92, Greece in 2004. None of these looked anything like eventual winners in the group stages but ended up winning. If we can play shit and win for a couple of games perhaps we'll be able to actually peak at the right time? I won't hold my breath though.

Swede Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I think Clarke will stick with Ralston even though there's a mistake in him every game and cost them two points v the Swiss. I just don't think he's seen enough of McCrorie to trust him. Upfront he will be predictable with Wancland over Adams as they'll have more posession but I think a fresh perspective curveball would be to start Tommy as the Hungarians won't know what to expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's it , Clarke has seen little of Ross and nothing of Tommy. In such an important game he is unlikely to risk new players, though I think it's riskier playing Ralston. As for TC , I think it will take more than chasing the game Dave . I think it will take maybe an injury as he is very much last man in. Maybe late on when one striker has already been swapped and they need a goal. If they throw caution to the wind and play 2 up top. Sadly I can't see Tommy getting on, Ross maybe, when Ralston drops another bollock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it’s very central between where they have played so it’s a decent base, good links to Munich by train and then between Cologne and Stuttgart. Probably half an eye on finishing 3rd which sees them return to cologne or play in Frankfurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
