the Sunnylaw Jag Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) I noticed in the Daily Record (obviously not my copy) that Steven Fletcher was saying he'd be happy with just one goal never mind a hat-trick on Sunday against Gibraltar. It's just a few years short of fifty since Colin Stein scored four against Cyprus on 17th May 1969. Will anyone end this hat-trick drought on Sunday and who is the favourite? If Anya has his shooting boots on it could be him, Niasmith is also a possibilty or would playing Rhodes be the answer?

Jagtag Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I said this at half time during the Faroes game in 06. It really was the perfect opportunity to end that hoodoo. Boyd was on 2 goals and could have taken the other penalty but even then I thought he'd do it 2nd half. Then Walter decided to defend for our lives and hold what we had.

Angus_Young Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Strange I was just saying to s lad at work yesterday about this. Anya was the name that sprung to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Mental innit, I'm 46 in a few months and a Scotland player hasn't scored a hat-trick in my lifetime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McToot Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 When Miller got two in Norway did he not go off at half time. Thought he was going to do it that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Sunnylaw Jag Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah he was on fire that night. Was it before half time that he went off injured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bzzzz Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I think Naisy will get a hattrick on sunday. I might just put a quid on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been 10 or more if Quashie hadn't have been playing. One of the poorest I've ever seen in a Scotland jersey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Blackheart Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Who takes penalties again? Is it Moloney if he starts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Who takes penalties again? Is it Moloney if he starts? Maloney I'd imagine. Naisy hit plenty with killie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotlandFanMuir Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 It might be worth remembering that Germany only beat this mob 4-0 at home just a short while ago. We're all tugging each other off at the thought of IKECHI ANYA getting a hat-trick, while Thomas Muller only managed 2 in 90 minutes.

I had £20 on Boyd at 16/1 to get a hat trick. Was spitting feathers when he handed the ball to Miller for that second penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWM 71 not out. Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 OK then I'm going to go for a Scott Brown hat-trick at 50/1. I remember Colin Hendry's 'near miss' against San Marino in a Hampden world cup qualifier in 2001- he had a brace of goals after 33 minutes and Scotland eventually won 4-0. Sadly it was also Hendry's final cap - his 51st in total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Scotty Broon is 9/4 to score anytime. I'm sticking a 20 note on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 After he had scored two against Luxembourg, Jordan Rhodes had a third wrongly ruled offside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimstroma Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 The NI game was a good warm up for this game. They defended well and McGovern had a few good saves. Gibraltar will be far easier to break down and I expect us to get a few goals. If Rhodes starts he will be our best bet for a hat-trick. As long as we win comfortably I will be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I had £20 on Boyd at 16/1 to get a hat trick. Was spitting feathers when he handed the ball to Miller for that second penalty. It was a Pish penalty aswell. I could be making this up, but was Miller not in the middle of a bad barren patch, so the penalty was more of a confidence booster thing?

Might have worked because he scored a belter against Lithuania a few days later. Was our last penalty at home to Croatia? I remember more misses than goals from pens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
