G1983 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I see it as a bit of a "rite of passage" for a Scotland fan to go to Wembley and watch the team play in a competitive game. My dad, grandparents, uncles, brothers etc. all went to Wembley for the home internationals tournaments and have such fond memories of it that I am just desperate to get there and experience it for myself. I was there in 2013 and I thought that would be as close as I got, but now we get the "real thing" and I am already overly excited. The result and performance in Slovakia took the wind out of my sails a bit, but having watched England in the last few weeks, and also the Premiership, I feel there are a few chinks in their armour. Add in to the above the fact that we are (somehow) only 3 points off the top of the group, and it really is as big a game as we get as Scotland fans. I am prone to letting early setbacks in games really get me down (much like the entire crowd against Lithuania!) but I am determined to keep a positive mind set throughout this game and back the team to the hilt. And of course, the fact that this game is so important for the team and for me means that I am also ridiculously nervous. I am dreading the game being over by half time and us having nothing to sing about or celebrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

they've_been_suckered Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Scotland tend to surprise us when we expect very little from them. I'm worried about the fixture but stranger things have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddybuc16 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 A win against Lithuania and draw wi slovakia, this isn't the end of the world if we lost. But given the poor results we had, anything less than victory its game over. Can't see us getting that unless strachan pulls off some sort of miracle. We dont press teams enough and that is exactly what we would have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be nice to get some "bonus" points against England though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
