Credit to the ground staff for the work they put in to make sure we got our money's worth. Don't think I've ever gotten home from a football match on a different day than when I left before! Nobody should go to a game of football on a Tuesday and not come back until Wednesday. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 The M8 being shut from J3 onwards last night was a final kick in the baws. We left 15 mins from the end and ran to the car to get away sharp and I still didn’t get in until 1am. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadasdillinger Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I've just checked and this is right, as impossible as it is to believe - Scotland have won 10 consecutive qualifiers for the first time, keeping eight clean sheets during this run, excluding play-off games 33 minutes ago, Hank Scorpio said: The M8 being shut from J3 onwards last night was a final kick in the baws.

Naw, the final kick in the baws was getting to a 24 hour McDonald's at 00.15 to be told they were shut?!

AJF Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Yet another excellent win with a good performance to go with it in testing conditions. We scored at perfect times in the match (even if they were about 2 hours apart ). There’s a genuine belief and swagger about this side. They just look like they are confident of a result every time the step out on to the pitch. Brilliant stuff and well on our way to Germany. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That used to be the whole point of going to a midweek game, unfortunately now I have grown up and have a job and need to drive to games, however 5 hours sleep definitely seems worthwhile this morning, still buzzing, thank you Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Eight points clear! However, as a Morton fan I advise caution. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) I grew up in the 80s, back when we were qualifying regularly for finals tournaments. I was too young to appreciate the technical merits of the team back then, but I think this is the most technically proficient Scotland team I can remember. Hickey, Robertson, Tierney, McTominay, Gilmour, McGregor, McGinn are all outstanding footballers. And that's just from last night's starting eleven.

Wasn't that bad when I got there it was just that I had parked just of Viccy road and when I got back the road was now a swimming pool.6 days worth of rain in less than an hour for those that were there it was worse than the abandoned friendly in Valencia in 2004 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance through the travel club I reckon but Uefa normally do a "follow my team" once the ticket portal opens for registration so a chance that way through general sales 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 All the scenarios that see us not qualify now involve us losing more or less every game *and* either Georgia or Norway beating Spain. We couldn’t dream of being in a better position. The discipline, patience and confidence in this Scotland team is unbelievable. But over and above that, the level of technical ability is orders of magnitude better than I’ve ever seen from Scotland. No fear of the ball at all. And the depth of squad too - we can leave guys playing and scoring in Serie A and strikers scoring 20+ in the Scottish Premiership on the bench, no issues at all. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Scotland and 5live couldn't even broadcast it on BBC Sounds due to rights issues. Just a recorded message basically saying "naff off, pal, yet no' hearin' it." Note to self... Don't go abroad and expect to hear internationals. Just as well the result went the right way. Almost as if my unintended absence made no difference at all . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renfrewblue Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 What a night. Glad I was watching on the TV rather than being there, which shows I'm getting old. Some excellent football on display from a technically brilliant Scotland team, organised beautifully by Steve Clarke and his team. Both full backs taking high cross field passes with one simple touch, whilst on the run demonstrates the basic quality we now have available. Special mentions have to go to the groundsmen, the DJ and every single fan that booed the shite bag Georgians. They all contributed to that win last night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
