Match Thread Scotland vs Moldova & Denmark - 12/11 and 15/11

[Ke1t]

I wouldn't rate this as highly as the 2-0 win over the French, but it's definitely in a better resolution. 

 

[alscotoz]

Great result. Hopefully the draw is kind. Helluva journey to qualify now.

Just make sure you keep your money in your pocket regarding the Scotland team you jonah bastard. 

Do not bet on the team, do not even share your thoughts on the team.

Thank you.

[Dynamo]

Best Scotland performance since dispatching Ukraine 3-1 in 2007.

Got a chance with a home tie. North Macedonia would be the best draw.

Wish to co=pundits was as good now as they were back then

A quick playback of the highlights before work.  I’d forgotten the third “goal” - the cross field pass from McGinn, squared by Adams to Armstrong at the back post.  Would have been an absolute stunner.  Lewis would have smashed it.  Or Turnbull.

It was great defending by their captain. The guy anticipated the ball across and moved back over towards Armstrong before Adams had headed it

Fuck off you wee cunt or I'll fold you up like a pretzel

 

Just don't mention or bet on Scotland you old freak.

1 win out of 200 odd DWT suggests you are a fucking jinx bastard.

Thanks for digging this out. Had thought it was earlier than than 89.

Also, just looked up the Spain game, and it ended 3-1. I also remember reading an article that quoted the Spanish press calling Jim Bett “the knife” or “the cut” because of his passing ability.

I skipped school to go to the Spain game, drinking warm Carlsberg Special Brew on the milk train back to Aberdeen, missed the next day due to a combination of getting home at 3 in the morning and a massive hangover.

I was at that match. The memories.

Scotland v Holland 1st leg qualifier 2004 euros  was a decent performance also.  I was sitting just waiting for the team to collapse last night but they never.  Brilliant

The collapse came 4 days later.

Aye, that was a pure disaster.

[Ramandu]

The passage of play leading up to the first half chance where Adams should have played in Robertson was brilliant. Lovely one touch football starting at the edge of our own box.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

I excluded it due to Robertsons propensity to fire them over the bar!

This performance has to be up there with the 2-0 win over France is 85(?) or the 2-0 against Spain (84?).

Anyway, I think it’s been that long since I witnessed such an accomplished performance. 

Up there with those two games.

That Spain game Bett tore them several new arseholes

 

[thurso]

One of the best games Iv seen Scotland play. The whole team was outstanding 

[ericblack4boss]

Was mentioned last night that it would be just like Scotland to beat Austria to a play off spot, then go out to them in a play off, it's a new way for us to exit

 

 

[King Street Loon]

Brilliant game to watch last night.

It's enjoyable watching Scotland again. For too long finding something else to do was more appealing.

Ach well,  it was good while it lasted. 

[afc1903mad]

With a run of 6 consecutive competitive wins, you'd think our rankings will be due a boost.

I wonder what our highest ranking has been

Cheers min. Doubt we'll be getting anywhere near that given we are officially 44th at the moment, but there are some teams above us we should be challenging

[RED_JOHN]

The good thing about last night was the balance of the team. We looked like a team who had played a lot together previously (which obviously wasn’t the case).

[ericblack4boss]

So that's soutar now another addition to the defence  the one position we seem to have plenty of options,

We had what could genuinely be considered a World Class side on the pitch, there. 

J Leighton
S Nicol
A Albiston
G Souness(C)
A McLeish
W Miller
K Dalglish
P McStay
M Johnston
J Bett
D Cooper

 

Manager:
Jock Stein

Criminally underperformed too often, though.

Got plenty cover in most positions now. My one worry would be goals, if Gordon got injured not sure who we would go for
