Match Thread Cyprus 0 - 3 Scotland

[Frank Grimes]

Need at least one positive thread on here

A win almost ties it up 

Win + a draw between Norway and Georgia on Tuesday guarantees qualification 

A very welcome break from the Dandies 

Mon the lads 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Helmet]

Definitely a welcome change. Hopefully we stuff Cyprus.

I’m interested to see if the Newcastle lad was worth the effort too.

He’s pulled out due to injury apparently

Those of a certain vintage will always remember with a shade of dread Cyprus in Cyprus because of the game in 1989 where we needed a nonce to win us the game

Ha! Bit suspicious maybe?

Probably nothing but it would be remarks if he’s called up for England in the next few months then.

Give me the dons even in our form over international football. I like the big tournaments but can’t be doing with qualifiers.

Get out of the thread then.

You've added nothing- to quote Chris Morris.

Cyprus away we'd have been happy to take a point most of the last 10-15 years.

I think we're better than that now, but I'd take 2-1 us in a heartbeat. 

[HaarDon]

Still surprised by how many Afc fans couldn't give a fuck about the Scotland team.

Very hunnish if you ask me.

There's quite a few supporting Scotland now apparently.Now that we are winning 🤣

It’s Hunnish to support actual Huns on the park. 
 

which is what you do when you support the scotch

so you’re actually the hun 

 

 

 

 

scotland -1 is the easy wonga anyway. Unless dad puts them in his treble 

[ericblack4boss]

Growing up in the 80s Scotland games were massive, all were on terrestrial tv.

And the anticipation was palpable it started to go wrong for me when Brooner stepped down

You're the racist dude that downvoted my comment about Walters getting dog's abuse.

Maybe you threw bananas at him.

Ferguson a must start for this een surely?

Cyprus v Georgia was a very close game, 84th minute goal sealed it 1-2 to Georgia. Cyprus have improved a lot over the past few years, their league is much better these days. Their stadiums are almost cauldren-like. 

We've played good, but can play much better, I reckon.

There's never been a trilogy like that for us! Southgate is such a mong. Fucking clueless. We need to outplay and beat that lot. Losing to Spain and France in close-fought battles wouldn't be that bad, but losing to England would stir a massive rage in me. No such thing as a Scotland-England "friendly". We should have beat them at the last Euros. Next Euros is going to feel like a World Cup, I reckon. 2024 is a "World Cup in fragments". African and Asian Cups in Jan-Feb, Euros and a 16-team Copa America with six North American teams in it, in June-July. Ancelotti managing Brazil by then.

1999-2019 was a brutal dose of the doldrums for Scotland national team. We really should have been at a few of those tournaments. Not being at Brazil 2014 was the worst, the adventures we would have had, the diseases, the deaths. Got to get to Turtle Island in 2026, that will be a fucking rammy to end all rammies, biggest, brashest, bomb-scariest sporting event since the 1972, 1984, 1996 Olympics but throw in Mexico 1970/86, USA 1994 and the general carnival chaos of football these days. 48 teams, 104 matches, fuck me, pass the cocaine...

We're going to qualify. I want us to win the group. Seeding for the euro 24 groups is based entirely on qualification performance - the better we do, the higher we're seeded.

Excuse me, @GAME OF BILLIONS, just what channel is showing the France and Spain games?

Viaplay. I call it ViaGay. Coz it's gay as fuck to have to watch it on there for £14.99 per month. I have it, but it's a cunt. I'm never in the mood for watching Spanish Liga at 20:30 on a Sunday night after watching three or four Scottish/English/Italian matches in the afternoon. Fucking Spanish, kicking off on a Sunday at 21:30, what is that all about? 

Anyway, just watch those matches via this massive link sharing site, Jumbo:

Sometimes the stream stops, you just refresh the page and it almost always returns.

For big matches, there are usually over 20 streams to choose from.

Enjoy!

After the last 5 minutes of the Norway game I think it's finally our time. We'll beat Cyprus, and we'll beat england on Tuesday.

We need to be one of the top-seeds for the World Cup qualifiers, too. Top that group (mostly groups of four teams this time), too, none of that playoff shite for us. At the very least the World Cup qualifier playoffs should be two legs, not one match at one country's national stadium, that's such a joke. When Scotland played Australia for the 1986 playoff, it was two legs with Hairdryer as boss. That's the way it should be. No, we need to top our groups from now on for Euros and World Cups. Czechia, Serbia, Hungary, Austria, Finland, Kazakhstan, England, etc. are capable of doing that, we need to be even better than them. It will be the squeakiest of bum times since bums first squawked for all teams, especially if there are loads of draws in the first three/four matches. The 12 teams that top the groups go through automatically. The rest is decided by a bunch of complex shit. Fuck that, we need to top the group and get fucking prepared for storming Turtle Island, wipe out the zombies. HIT IT!
