Optimistic Nut Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I do love the fact the first major tournament after that odious c*nt Scott Brown retired from international football, is when they finally make it back in to one of these things.

Optimistic Nut Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 They’ve got a great left-side, some fair midfield options now with McTominay, McGinn, Christie, McGregor, Armstrong. They’ve always lacked a top keeper (shame Gordon is past it now) and a centre-forward which will be their downfall in the summer. If they can find a decent striker out of thin air, they’re organised enough to be a pain in the arse. Tbf Dykes was superb tonight. Serbia couldn’t handle him and Griffiths will score goals. Mcburnie is awful tho Shame Fraser missed tonight They’re hardly top drawer though. Ireland had Robbie Keane for years for instance who could carry them through at times, Scotland haven’t had that in my lifetime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Nearly in tears watching that. I went to Euro 96 and France 98 Scotland games when I was 6/8 and never thought for a second I'd be in my 30s and not been to another one. But recently started to think I might never get to a tournament for decades more, perhaps never with my dad. So happy. Getting my flights booked back over from the US. Crack on with the vaccine please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years to come plus potentially our very own Elliott Anderson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serb Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Fucking Mitrovic, man. Just can't be trusted. If it wasn't for Mitrovic, Serbia couldn't even be in a position to qualify. It happens. If I had to choose a country to qualify over Serbia, I'd choose Scotland in a heartbeat. I still remember the qualifier in 2013, I think, when Tartan Army came to Serbia to support their team. Just before the match, a ton of snow fell and officials were thinking of postponing the match. Those lovely Scottish bastards entered the pitch during the day in their kilts, grabbed shovels and cleaned up every bit of snow, so the game wasn't called off. Serbia won 2-0, the Scots sang their lungs off, drank a month's production of beer, donated some money into charity and fucked off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Mitro's just gone off the boil at the wrong time for Serbia. If the game had been played when it was supposed to be, I think they'd have breezed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Mitrovic was the UEFA Nations League 2018-19 top scorer I'll have yous know.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Nigeria 4-0 up and only drawing with Sierra Leone stinks of match fixing. I assure it was nothing more than rank incompetence and an embarrassment upon a footballing nation that has already been frequently besmirched in the past. A disgrace. I have just seen it with my eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
