Scotland v Ukraine


Lex

Recommended Posts

Can't decide who I'd rather face if we make the final.
Both Wales and Austria are well capable of beating us if we aren't on it. I think Wales would be the more colourful final just because of near neighbour rivalry... but losing to them would be more unbearable than losing to Austria.

Glad the Wales Austria game is going ahead though. Means we have a decent chance of getting two fixtures at the end of this month, and it'll be interesting to watch Wales Austria without having the fear of watching our semi at the same time.

You'd also be inconveniencing their fans and pointlessly disrupting the June fixtures of at least two other unconnected nations, and potentially some others in their Nations League group for the sake of some notion of "fairness" that doesn't really apply.

It's not at all unlikely that the Ukraine game (in fact all three scheduled Ukraine games) could end up not going ahead anyway, in which case we'd be the ones with more preparation time.

According to a Polish journalist we want the Poland friendly at Hampden and they want it in Poland but seems both teams are keen to make it happen

Anthony Gordon possibly 

Karlan Grant possibly 

Liam Henderson 

Aaron Hickey

Calvin Ramsay 

Alan Campbell 

Kal Naismith 

Ryan Gauld 

Ross Stewart 

Sirki Dembele possibly 

 

Can you clarify to me what ones are your daft nobodies please?

Every single one of them are consistently in form and should deserve some kind of recognition 

Naismith must be injured tonight and Campbell must be getting rested

I suppose we only learn something about ourselves by playing the good teams and there Eastern European like Ukraine 

I wouldn't mind another one though some kind of double header we could put a bigger squad together to still I would imagine because covid is still pretty rife

Being consistently in-form does not guarantee you a Scotland call-up. We won't be calling up 10 new players for any game.

I never said we would be calling up all off them some might be still deluded enough to think there good enough for England oh and forgot Tino Livamento on the list

But there is injuries Nisbet Christie Turnbull Cooper all out

And the back up Aberdeen players are having a nightmare 

Would much rather have players at right end of English championship over them

Who might be playing in EPL next year guys like Sirki Dembele who could go play for Ivory Coast if we don't act quickly likewise with Gordon possibly going to play for Ireland 

We only have a small pool of players and can not afford to miss out on a few good ones that we can possibly get to other teams especially the Irish

So you couldn't answer who the nobodies were?

Christie started and scored for Bournemouth tonight is he suspended or something for play offs?

What backup Aberdeen players are you referring to?

Cooper is out so there is a place up for grabs and Gallacher was in last year

Until he got bombed out because we realised he’s just a big clogger and Hanley shits all over him in the middle of the back 3, with Hendry & Cooper both able to cover there. Gallagher’s time with Scotland is finished.

Bates lmfao.

What part of Cooper is injured do you fail to understand?Hanley is getting relegated though his confidence can't be that high right now there will be a replacement for Cooper hopefully it isn't that animal Porteous 

Hendry played 17 out of 30 in the league so he been injured to or lost his place

Wales or Austria will have the same recovery time as their opponents, albeit they’ll just have played a Nations League game and not a semi final. Makes sense to play it in March to avoid disrupting even more fixtures.

If you are the winner of Wales and Austria game,  you are fielding a B team in the June Nations League match all day long. So they will go into the winner of our game fresher than they would have been had they played their semi on the same day as us. 

I get that rescheduling Nations League matches would be a pain. However you have to be fair to all four sides in our semi finals.

Souttar has a achilies injury according to Andy Halliday so two new places have opened up in center defence 

Aren't sure Leeds are going to rush back Cooper either and throw him into a Scotland game when he is back mid March 

The games off until June, none of these injuries matter.

There's a chance Souttar won't make the June games too though going by his previous achilles injuries. It's shite for the guy as he did everything he could in the Denmark game to make that RCB spot his own and was close to finally completing a season without his ankle blowing up.

Time to call up Jamie Hamilton imo.
