ErsatzThistle Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Scotland, Wales and fitba together - urgh, sends a shiver doon the spine alright ! Our record against them in the last 25 years has been appalling I think ? Can any stats gurus confirm this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 They shouldn't be as good.Bale is ridiculous. The rest as a team are a lot less than us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 They shouldn't be as good.Bale is ridiculous. The rest as a team are a lot less than us. Ashley Williams is a much better CB than we have and Aaron Ramsey is a much better CM than we have. And then there's Bale, a once in a generation sort of talisman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Had a wee look at our results against Wales since 1997 (didn't play each other between the famous 1985 game and 1997) and our record is simply shocking:Beaten 1-0 at Rugby Park in a 1997 friendly thanks to a John Hartson goal (maximum respect for the big man though ). Anyone remember this game ? Christian Dailly, Davie Weir, Neil Sullivan, Simon Donnelly and Brian McAllister all made their Scotland debuts in that game. Hold on a second, who the heck was Brian McAllister ? I've honestly never heard of him ! Beaten again in 2004 and 2009. We finally win against them in 2011 during the three nations tournament but are beaten again by Wales in 2012 and 2013. A real bogey team. Five defeats and one solitary win since 1997.

Brian McAllister - Wimbledon Cb or LB in their pretty decent team of mid to late 90's. Don't think he won many caps though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold on a second, who the heck was Brian McAllister ? I've honestly never heard of him ! Aye, i was at it. End of season low key game. Think there was only 9000 odd there. Highlight was seeing Scottish Cup paraded, as we'd won it previous week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Brian McAllister - Wimbledon Cb or LB in their pretty decent team of mid to late 90's. Don't think he won many caps though 3 caps.... Belarus, Wales and Malta. Was well worth his call up at the time, as season 96-97 he was a rock in the Wombles defense beside Perry, Cunningham, Blackwell and Kimble, but then fissiled out the following season (Lost his place and when he was involved, it was in a number of thumping results... ie 6-2 to Spurs and 5-0 to Arsenal etc) and emigrated to New Zealand not long after.
