Don't say you haven't been warned. I think we'll win but I suspect it's going to be one of those games where we make it hard for ourselves. 4-0. With goals from the centre backs and McGinn. Have no fear, Mclean is here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's bound to be a few lads on here that played at a half-decent standard. If you're shiteing it off San Marino, then the team above them, Anguilla, might be worth a shot. Population of 14,000 and their best player plays in something like the eleventh tier of English football. We'd horse them. There’s one, who did. Pep. And he’s never kicked a ball in his life. San Marino would stick 20 past the very best Pie and Bovril has to offer. I once played alongside a guy who was in the Japanese second division. He was incredible. Destroyed our opponents single handedly. San Marino would absolutely hammer us. Edited March 31, 2021 by Savage Henry 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Last competitive game till the Euros. Is it last game full stop? Notice we don’t have any friendlier booked but surely we will get a couple in before we play the Czechs at Hampden. Wouldn’t be great to get a nice confidence boosting big win to set us up for our first major tournament this century. Get all our strikers among the goals and play some attacking, free flowing football at home to a country with roughly the same population as Kilmarnock. Denmark walloped Moldova (who drew with the Faroes) 8-0, so there’s surely no reason we can’t do similar here...?2-1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 4 hours ago, G51 said: should probably point out that the "bundesliga" player for the faroes: 1) plays for arminia bielefeld, who are 17th out of 18th in the league 2) has played a total of 53 minutes across 5 sub appearances 3) last played on the 31st october 4) has made one bench since then, on the 16th december. rest of the time he hasn't even been in the matchday squad. Now you've done it. He'll probably score a hat trick now. (If he's the goalie, maybe just the 2.) An easy Scottish win would be great, with a couple of goals in the first 15 mins to settle the nerves. However as I'm in my 60s, experience tells me that we'll be hanging on for dear life to a one goal lead at 85 mins, possibly with 10 men. Quick chorus of "Always look on the bright side of life" any time now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Our "utterly honking" defence has conceded 10 goals in the last 13 games (and 8 in 10 since we went to a back three). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mighty Canada, New Zealand, and Gibraltar on that list as well. A good question would be what countries haven't scored against us in the last 20 years. San Marino, Albania, Qatar, Estonia, Japan.

Still, there are 13 teams that we have a 100% win record for, so it's not all bad. Pity that we can't have a qualifying group of us plus Malta, Gibraltar, San Marino, and the Hong Kong League 11, but I suppose you can't have EVERYTHING.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
