Ally Bongo Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Was going to suggest that We dont have big games anymore Well they might be advertised as big but they are usually meaningless - like the England game on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Ireland at Parkhead was way bigger. We had a real chance of qualification going in to that game. We don't going in to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we'll take a point though. I did say a "real" chance, i.e. realistic. We went in to the ROI game in decent form and with having had a good start in the group. I don't think winning almost every game we have left is realistic, given our recent form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASTA Mick Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'd say the Poland game was bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Pete Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 It's a big game in the sense it's against our oldest rivals and it's only really this type of big game we get these days since we don't qualify for anything but in terms of getting a result I would say the Lithuania game was bigger. We had to win that one and we ballsed it up. Having said that, I haven't looked forward to a game as much as this for ages and if we somehow manage to win it, it will end up being a huge game as we will be well and truly back in the group.

bonny78 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) Biggest home game since italy 2007. Every game cannot be a big game.. Big games are defined by being bigger than routine games. This could be because of Whom we are playing or it could be a must win game against anyone. V italy in 07 the 2 criteria mentioned above were combined - none since then.

Poland and Czech Republic were both bigger than this one in terms of them being games against our direct rivals for runners up.

Exglasgowasc Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 According to Strachan this morning it's not a must win game, it's a must perform game. How much more drivel can this man come out with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think he would say its not must win even if we were going into the last game when a win and a win only would guarantee us going through.

Parklife Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Why do folk always go on about "must win games"? A lot of pish IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they all see it as must win. What they say privately will differ from the sound bites they feed the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they do always go on about it. But from time to time, depending on the scenario, the team you support will have a must win game.
