craigkillie Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Qualifying with two games to spare is about the most obvious definition of "comfortable" I've ever heard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His time in the team has corresponded with our 'winless run'. I'm not thick enough to say the two are linked, but seems like the kind of thing you'd probably try and push forward if it was a positive stat. I'm going by the eye test not by stats which can be interpreted in any way you like. I'm not bothered either way if he starts, as I keep saying i think the team would be even better if he was starting over someone else though and had the opportunity to be playing 90 minutes over a period of time. Now it's too late but after the Euros (especially if we get pumped), i'm sure he will be one of our main players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to qualify comfortably you have to win every game by a decent margin? Even Portugal didn’t then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to specify that we need to win every game for it to be a comfortable qualifying campaign then we'll leave it there. You don't have to pretend we are a quality team, we are. The fact you have some elevated perception of what Scotland should be doing doesn't change that. I don't think we are a quality team just yet, got a long way to go. Performances didn't prove we qualified comfortably though, it's like saying Dundee United are gonna win the championship comfortably considering our GD and points tally but if you go to the games then it is a completely different story. Previous Scotland campaigns have been littered with decent performances where we have lost games. This one, there has been times where we have been poor but have come out with results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one example but they were plenty of other teams who always looked like they were gonna qualify. With us, i was never sure until towards the end of the campaign 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said the games were comfortable. The results from the games meant that we qualified comfortably, that comfort being the two games to spare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the bullshit ever end? There is more to life than football, I couldn't really care either way but I'm happy to push my opinion regarding LF who i think would enhance the team. Surely thats what the forum is about so no need to get all hostile which some people are like for whatever strange reason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said he hasn't had enough minutes to integrate into the team, but for the last 3 camps (Mar-24. Nov-23 and Oct-23) he has played around 40-50% of the minutes available. You say you're not bothered, but have posted 25 times on the subject in the last few days. Your bullshitting us, come on now. It's us with the problem, aye that must be it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm posting across a range of football forums about various topics as i love discussing anything football related. I'm stuck in hospital at the minute hence why i'm posting a lot to kill time so trust me, I've got better things to do in life about who is starting for Scotland. I would like him to be given a proper run in the team, not just play for a bit here and there off the bench mainly, at least we can see how good he is for the team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I responded for the group that are "getting all hostile". So that consortium would not be including you if that's what you're worried about champ. 1 hour ago, Butters Scotch said: Surely thats what the forum is about so no need to get all hostile which some people are like for whatever strange reason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
