Old Bing Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 3 hours ago, Alan Twelve said: Aye, I'm being a bit faceitious - other than moving Tierney, there's really nothing in what I've suggested that would necessarilly differ from how we normally play. It's still 5-4-1 out of possession, 4-3-3 in posession. Formations and positions are outmoded thinking in today's football. Players have a number of roles they're asked to perform depending on context. It's much more complicated than it used to be. Aye I remember the old days when players used to stand still on the spot allocated to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 32 minutes ago, Granny Danger said: I understand that sentiment but I’d qualify it. I think he’s shown that he has the capacity to score goals but he cannot play as an isolated striker. If Clarke is willing to gamble with a more attacking team and formation from the off and Shankland can get service then it might be the right call. If Clarke expects him to be able to perform the role that Dykes plays then it’s a waste of time. Yeah. That’s fair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Getting onto the train at Koln Hbf was fucking terrifying. Horrendous organisation and steaming Scotland fans could very nearly have caused something dangerous. And, with more than two hours to go, it still might. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 At least tonight SHOULD be a more enjoyable evening than Saturday. Tonight I'm in my home, with a Saltire, one of my lads, some cans and a little pre-match optimism. On Saturday I was watching the game in a pub, with an English "friend" and his wife who is half English and half German. Not ideal... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, we were away with "friends" and I must confess that drink had been taken. And two already tonight, TBH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Hope, expectations optimism were all shot on Frightful Friday, so watching this as a kind of National Service duty. Les than two hours to go and numb rather than nervous. Overriding thoughts don't be embarrassing again, we have pride in our national team and the players should too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huisdean50 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Bottom line is wr have to win thus game. Don't go along with the line of as long as we don't lose it will be a good result. If we can win, it takes a lot of pressure off the Hungary game. We really need to be more attacking so hopefully Clarke will play 2 up front. Unfortunately I think Clarke's mentality will be to play for a draw. Just for once Scotland, just go for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I have a whole pound on Scotland 3 Switzerland 1 at 40/1. I am in my 60s, so maybe there's truth in the "no fool like an old fool"... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
