Edit - The Caley have given me joy I'd never get supporting Scotland in a million years. Going to a tournament with Scotland is excellent. Back in the day when Scotland regularly qualified, International football was better thought of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 1 minute ago, Honest_Man#1 said: If Christie is chosen over Armstrong I will be fucking livid. I think he will. Clarke's interview the other day he said Armstrong was "more of an attacking midfield player" and that he was happy with Christie's performances playing off Dykes. If he can fit both of them in then great but think it'll be one or the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club football is nonsense, its not important, it doesn't matter at all. Its just a bunch of mercenaries who hadn't heard of your club six months ago who came there and pretend they care cause your club offered fifty quid a week more than anybody else, and who can't wait to move onto the next club who will offer fifty quid more than yours. International football actually matters, club football really doesn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 It's probably two of Armstrong, Christie and McGinn that plays. The chances of Clarke abandoning the midfield due of Jack and McGregor must be very small. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely hope I'm wrong. They are better than us, by a bit of a margin. However, we also have a good few players playing at the highest level, so it I think we actually have a chance tonight. Compare that to the squad of 2012-2013 under Levein, for example. Holy f**k was that a brutal team compared to now. It's almost like night and day. We're up against it, but if we can continue to do what we have been, frustrate the life out them, go in at the break level then I think they will panic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 We should just use the Trump method of winning. Say the game was rigged and we are really the winners because we shouldn’t count goals that Serbia score illegally with their right foot. If we ever had a legitimate chance of claiming corruption or defeat by nefarious means, it was for the qualification for this tournament. Russia were defos at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - The Caley have given me joy I'd never get supporting Scotland in a million years. I just find that a bit parochial and lacking in imagination, but then, I've been lucky enough to be among 20,000+ Scotland fans in Genoa, and partying with Brazilians in Paris and Norwegians in Bordeaux, and had my heart broken in Birmingham, St Etienne and Turin. I can see how supporting a relatively small team and seeing them win a national cup would be amazing, but apart from that, nothing comes close. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, these same people who come out with pish like this are the very same types who'd be getting saltires tattooed on their baws and spending a month hammered if we ever did anything. There is nothing but nothing that comes anywhere near international football, not in sports in general, hardly even in life. The way it can unite and energise an entire country is unparalleled. For example, lets say Scotland qualified for WC 2014 and did really well, got to the semis or something, we'd have voted for independence that year and would be an independent country now. It has that big an effect. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very interested to see how Dykes and Armstrong work together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I've got a meeting at 3pm that I'm dreading and should be preparing for, but all I can think about is this game. Marshall O'Donnell McTominay Gallagher Tierney Robertson (Jack/Armstrong) McGregor McGinn (Christie/Armstrong) Dykes Tough on McKenna and Considine, but Gallagher has been a rock and Tierney is in very good form in that exact position. Ryan Fraser is a huge loss, and I think he might go with Christie in that role for his goalscoring ability. Clarke is a big fan of O'Donnell and I don't think anyone has done enough to shift him from that position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I mean I remember the games in 98 and 96, the whole country stops for a couple of hours. Everybody is either at a TV screen or radio, nobody is interested in anything else. There's nothing else can do that, not an election, a war, a concert nothing. The streets are deserted during the game its an incredible thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been present when the Caley been promoted 4 times (3 as league winners), won lower league and national cups, beat a much fancied team on penalties to reach a final, take the piss out of Celtic in the cups about 100 times, see them play in Europe. Scotland are a bridesmaid for me, and for a lot of people on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
