North and south stands are £40 for non members. Fecking disgraceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one way to stop getting robbed and that's to not go. I'm not willing to pay that for what will most likely be a turgid, boring draw. Our tactics mean there'll be no excitement in the game. Strachan has been a major letdown, recently, in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my point is at home we should be beating Lithuanian either comfortably or narrowly with being in much danger of losing a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borojock Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 im not claiming to be an expert on Lithunania football just a quick wiki look on them but IMHO theres nothing there to trouble us, i dont think we'll walk the game i think it will be nervy but if we choose the right players, formation and tactics and our players have a good game should be three points and in reality thats what we need and should expect Bit on Lithuania: Manager - 2 one year assistant roles at Hearts and L. Moscow & 1 year as a manager in Lithuania where they didnt win anything. Had 6 games as national manager so not experienced or successful Star Players - One player at a big club a young striker at Sporting in POR appears to be injured and only joined them in the summer and hasn't played for them yet so nothing substanial there. The rest of the players none at big European teams. Goals wise has two strikers one scored 6 goals and one 5 not at big teams and also scored against weak international opposition Recent Form - Last 6 games W 1, D 2, L3. Beat Estonia not a great team. Last qualifying campaign only won 3 games San Marino twice and Estonia. Only scored 7 goals from 10 games. Not much above to be too concerned about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRobRoy Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Have you seen yon SFA thing about free buses to the game from Buchanan Street? It's worryingly reticent about buses back after the game, ie, there's nae mention of it. Will it be half-mile long queues at Mount Florida Station and 10,000 supporters laying siege to a single 75 bus as usual, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
