Shocking result at the moment. Levein should be binned if we don't win this - I never wanted him as Scotland manager. They'd have been just as well saving money and keeping Burley at this rate!

[Snufflebutt]

We need a reality check methinks. Before last night Scotland had scored once in the last 6 matches. There was no chance of us annihilating Liechtenstein. If you expected that, you would have been mighty angry with last night. I guarantee we'l play better against spain because we'll be sitting in, playing 4-5-1 (Scotlands specialist subject) Liechtenstein caught us on the break too many times - weir was a waste of space last night but he's the best central defender we've got. Put Mcculloch in front of him against the czechs and spain and we have a decent defensive unit.

Because the czechs lost last night it means scotland maybe won't need to win every match to qualify, meaning we won't need to play 442 which makes us vulnerable. When you look at the bigger picture last night was a good night.

[ampersand]

the thing with 4-5-1 is we don't have a good 1.

boyd is a useless lazy c**t on his own and even with help last night, he was useless.

and miller is 9 times out of 10 a heidless chicken.

i'm guessing fletcher was injured, but i can't imagine him being too great as a lone striker either.

still can. not as if we're smug or anything!

7 minutes was fine though. the time wasting and all the subs, and the hutton/wallace injuries, surely there was more than 5 to play. justice was done though, they made some awful challenges.

I've no idea if 7 minutes was deserved last night or not, but it's the sort of length of extra time that seems to happen when Utd are losing, and rarely at other times - hense the fergie comment.

Leichtenstein went 70 minutes without conceding against which international football team 3 years ago? I'll give you a clue, they regard Robert Green as an international class goalkeeper.....

Yet Scotland didn't go for 70 minutes against Leichtenstein without conceding.

The fans behavious was absolutely shocking last night. The Tartan Army is full of drunken louts, and the media just presents them as lovable and happy go lucky cos the team is so shit. Would almost put you off from going to Scotand matches.

if we qualify (unlikeley)

[ampersand]

You might have a chance of qualifying, for 2016. Surely you might have a chance of being the 24th best side in Europe?

[Cardboard Box City]

how many teams in it now like?

Edited September 8, 2010 by Cardboard Box City

[ampersand]

16.

In 2016 it'll be 24, I feel France could once again be the place where Scotland finally once again go out in the first round of a big competition.

[Snufflebutt]

here's hoping it's before but as i say, unlikely. even if we do come 2nd.

how does 24 work then?

16/8/4/2/1 i get. 24 i don't...

[ampersand]

I don't think you get this ampersand, you are supposed to retaliate to his blatant fishing. Just bought my ticket for the Spain match, well looking forward to it, if nothing else just to see Spain.

[Snufflebutt]

take it you're a member or something?

and there's no point in retaliating, cos he's right and i'd just come off looking an idiot. like he regularly does

i don't want scotland to qualify so i can have crazy dreams of us making the latter stages and winning it. i just want to be part of it. and take it like new zealand or honduras did at the world cup this year.

[ampersand]

Such as?

[Cardboard Box City]

who was it you said would win by a mile at cheltenham?

and you know the thread i'm on about
