Scotland v Faroes

[stonefish100]

Anybody else a bit nervous about this game?

 

Faroes performed pretty well against Italy by all accounts and could have sneaked a 2-2 draw at the death. Coupled with the fact that Scotland have drawn their last 2 games there, I am worried about the win.

 

Anything less than 3 points would surely end our qualification hopes.

 

Had to laugh at this in Billy Dodds preview of the game though:

 

I also remember David Weir walked out after sticking up for his rights, but he's been colossal both since joining Rangers and in his return to the Scotland side.

 

:tossr:

 

Old pals act for the Huns, never ceases to amaze.

[Guest glasgowdon]

I can't see us not taking all 3 points if I'm being frank.

david wier should never been allowed back in after walking out on his country.

 

cant see this being a big problem for scotland. 2 or 3 nil to the scots.

[sheep_shagger]

I'm not at all worried about this as it should be a relatively simple 3 points.

[DodgyKeeper]

Yeah likewise. Haven't seen the Faroese play since they came over here but we should have enough quality to see us through.

[Batfink]

Can anyone recomend a pub to watch the game in the of Edinburgh? I've got a course down there Wednesday and Thursday so i'll be heading out for a few pints to watch the game on Wednesday

[BTR]

But we're the 14th best team in the world. I'd be surprised if we didn't win by at least 3 goals.

[Dynamo]

Fully expect 3 points.

[Baggy89]

I can't see us not taking all 3 points if I'm being frank.

How many, if your being Dave?

[Guest TenementFunster]

Yeah, all is calm. David Weir is steadying the ship in the way only he can.

 

I mean, we missed experience like his when we had embarrassing games against minnows like the puffin pie eaters.

[Guest LondonScottish]

Three points well and truely hammered home, by half time.

I'm sure the Faroes thought the same before.

Few of us heading to the Globe to watch the game. Your welcome to join us in there.

 

Meant to add that as long as we play the way we did last week cannot see us losing this one.

[Nespa]

Scotland will win nae bother!! 2-0

Was in there at before the Hibs game at the start of the season & it's not far from where my course is so i'll probably just head there, might even get you a pint!

Oh if pints are in the offing I might try and get home from work early....

[vikaben]

Flying down to London and the flight doesn't get in until 5:40, hopefully there will be a bar in the airport showing it and I'll catch the second half.

[cgs1706]

Watched all the highlights of the Italy game.

 

Don't know if the Faroes players were all having the game of their lives, but they played well. It worries me.

 

I still think we'll win, but it won't be as easy as expected...

[stonefish100]

Fergahun a doubt for the game now!

 

If we dont get a result the morn all of these players who have dropped out through injury, probably assuming this game would be a walk over, have got to get the blame layed squarely at their feet.

[cgs1706]

McLeish has come out saying Baz will play - and Maloney will take McCulloch's place.

[sheep_shagger]

Is it just me or did Maloney and McCulloch both not start against Austria. Or are we supposed to take for granted that the greasy little sh*t that is Hartley will be starting as well?

Could be. But it might be Gary Teale.

[sheep_shagger]

Would prefer Gary Teale

[Guest TenementFunster]

Would prefer Gary Teale

 

Only seen him once for Scotland, against Georgia.

 

No ta to either of them. But McLeish knows best.

[Ally]

I think we'll win 2-0 but no doubt it'll be a struggle (as usual). Having said that as long as we get 3 points I don't really care what the score is.

[sheep_shagger]

I'm not saying that Teale is the greatest, however i f*cking hate Hartley and he has been rotten for months.

[BTR]

It'll likely be:

 

Gordon

Alexander--Weir--McManus--Naysmith

Teale--Fletcher--Hartley--Maloney

O'Connor--Boyd

 

Or else find a place in there for Caldwell.

[Guest TenementFunster]

It'll likely be:

 

Gordon

Alexander--Weir--McManus--Naysmith

--Fletcher--Ferguson--Maloney

O'Connor--Boyd--Naismith

 

Or else find a place in there for Caldwell.

 

Doubt Caldwell will start but he could come on for Ferguson later in the half as he is reportedly carrying an injury.

[sheep_shagger]

I wouldnt be surprised if its:

 

Gordon

Alexander, Weir, Caldwell, Naysmith

Fletcher, Hartley, Ferguson, Maloney

O'Connor and Boyd

 

Not saying i would like it as for a start i'd rather take Hartley out and put in Naismith and play him and Maloney wide. I'd also rather not have to have Weir or Caldwell on the pitch at all.

[BTR]

Personally, I wouldn't bother with Ferguson if he's not 100%. Different story if it was a bigger team we were playing but we have plenty of players in the squad capable of doing the business against this shower.
