A back 4 of Hendry, Hanley, McKenna and Robertson would allow us to get an extra midfielder in the team and get the attacking midfielders closer to the striker. We need to try and get more possession in midfield than we've done in the last 2 games. Robertson could still get forward leaving 3 in defence and Hendry would do a better job defensively at right back than Ralston. +1 Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 This reeks of France 98 and euro 2020 where we have 1 point and go all out in the last game but lose 3-0 / 3-1 or is it more euro 96 where we have 1 point and pull off the victory but still go out? I don’t see us winning but I hope to fuck I’m wrong. This Scotland team is nowhere near the level they have been in the last 3 years. With key players injured and John mcginn not turning up I fail to see how we win. What is it, 1 win in about 11 games - against Gibraltar? 1 Link to comment

If others teams do better then at least we’ve achieved successful failure. And that’s the real quiz. 1 Link to comment

Patterson go from rangers to Everton. And Ramsay go from Aberdeen to Liverpool. but we arrive at euro 2024 with Celtics 2nd choice right back and Bristol city’s right back who only realised he was a right back about 18 months ago Link to comment

donswin1983 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 In/ oot: both. Nae ticket yet, can’t see that changing score: 3-0 Hungary (easier to say we will get beaten and pray for the opposite). They’re a decent side though. pre match: drinking heavily again and being an auld cunt, reflecting on previous tournaments where we haven’t qualified by various self destruction methods and bad luck. post match: scooby doo van, hoping it’s biding a bit longer attire: yellow Scotland shirt from 86 (I think) and nae bucket hat this time. c’mon the jocks. Please let this be the tournament we get out the group..🤞🤞 1 Link to comment

a don in oz Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I've fucked my back so whether or not I am able to get out of bed determines if I'll be in or oot for this one. I hope to god we turn up. I honestly can't even begin to predict the score in this one. If we go out I hope it's not another "ooohhh so close" failure. The ones where we are just mashed out are somehow easier to take than the goal difference and 'what-if' failures. Link to comment

ericblack4boss Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 We have seen it before all two often, the glorious failure that our national side specialises in. 1982, a win in the final game would have seen us through, we surrendered a point to the ussr, with a squad containing numerous Dalglish, Souness, Wark, Robertson, Archibald, miller, mc leish. Strachan, Sturrock, 86, again a star studded squad and a win in the final game against Uruguay and we progress, but we play out a drab goalless draw without creating many chances. 90, we start with the Costa rica debacle, we get a great win against Sweden and then lose a goal in final ten minutes to Brazil to exit , again that squad had Leighton. Mcleish ,Miller, Bett, Johnston, Malpas, Gough, mc Coist, mcAllister, Collins, Auch I'm just depressing myself now my point being we have gone out with far better squads and I fear the same again Link to comment

Parklife Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 In. Scotland 3-0 Hungary. The greatest night in the history of the Scotland national football team. 1 1 Link to comment
Oregon Red Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I predict Scotland will be 1-0 up with minutes to go then give up a stupid penalty. Which the Magyars convert. Then go ahead again. But in the last minute of injury time the Hungarians score twice. Another glorious failure Link to comment

Arthur FN Shelby Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Think we peaked with this group in the qualifiers. No idea if we get through tonight but expect more thrashings from the top teams if we do. Pessimistic? Maybe more realistic. Link to comment

That was the biggest choke we've ever had. Euro 96 was the unluckiest. If memory serves we were actually heading through for a wee while until the Dutch scored a consolation to make it 4-1 against England. I worry we don't have enough firepower to score several goals and I have a feeling Hungary will score. So another hard luck story.... Link to comment
