  1. First Scotland game: Rous Coup 1989 Vs Chile at Hampden, we won 2-0 and we were behind the goal at the East end. My vague memory is that end of the ground was pretty much empty. First Hampden game: As above First Away game: France 98 Vs Morocco
  2. Go. Chance to get rid with no compensation due. If he signs a new deal and arses up the start of next campaign he will be binned and it'll cost SFA whatever his contract is worth. I just don't buy this throw away line loads of folk appear to be spouting, "but there's no one else who can take over that'll do any better" That's both unlikely and also not a reason to accept failure, twice, against the remit he was given. For what it's worth I like Strachan and I would say on balance he's given us good, bad and mediocre but some of his squad and team selections have me pulling what's left of my hair out, so time for a change IMO.
  3. Couple of teams suggested above have 12 players in starting line up..... Would be nice to play an extra man given where we are just now. I think Strachan will stick with his 4-2-3-1 formation. This is the team I think he will pick, not the one I would go for but.....: Gordon Anya Martin Mulgrew Robertson Brown D. Fletcher Forrest Armstrong Snodgrass S. Fletcher I could see him picking Matt Ritchie over Forrest or Tierney over Robertson but I think he'll go with what he thinks he knows which will be 9/10 of above team.
  4. They didn't score too many goals, but I am fearing a 0-0. We will go over there and set up as we always do, as a counter attacking team with 1 up top, if that's Fletcher we could be in for a nervy night. I'd rather we went with 2 up top and 2 quick wide players. Having said that I'd be happy enough with any win, a dodgy penalty, OG, whatever is required, lets just get 3 points.
  5. Disna say much for our youngsters that we'd rather pay to develop an EFL Academy player. He doesn't exactly fit the Lee Richardson type mould going by what info I can find on him, how can it not be obvious to those at the club that is more important? Maybe we are planning on bringing in 2 players today?
  6. How come some of the roads are closed until 2pm? The race is at 9.30am, still it seems like a fair oversight since some folk will just be finishing the race as fans start turning up for the match!
  7. They've got Inverness City playing in the Juniors up there, I'd imagine any new team launched which is aimed at Highland league level could mean trouble for them. The club are already struggling due to no available pitches in the city I read. I don't know why they don't go back to sharing Clach's pitch, they did that for years when I played in the same league as City and it seemed to work well. Anyone got an update on if they've got a solution to that?
  8. I hope he gives the following a decent amount of time on the pitch; Bain, Caddis, Cooper, Tierney, Bridcutt, Murphy, McGinn - really hoping Cooper plays a full game and offers us another option at CB. I am also keen to see how Griffiths performs this time around, wasn't sure he was ready last time I saw him start for Scotland at Hampden, (think it was Belgium?) but he has improved a lot in the last 2 seasons in the games I've seen him in.
  9. Mark McGhee shouldn't be allowed to talk to the press whilst representing Scotland IMO. Almost every time the national team meet up he is wheeled out to the press and almost always says something daft or cringe worthy. I can see what he's trying to do with Tony Watt but it comes across wrong and he just makes it sound like they haven't done their homework and now regret calling him up. I certainly wouldn't be motivated by that comment if I was Watt.
  10. Just heard it, what a cringe fest that was! The bit about Rangers, told by Davies in the 3rd person sounds like a sketch from Only an Excuse, bizarre!
  11. Logan comes back in of course but I would have Storie back in the team. Obviously it wont happen and Jack will play but i'd go with: Brown Logan / Reynolds / Taylor / Shinnie Flood / Storie McGinn / Maclean / Pawlett Church I'd say that's being generous to Taylor and Pawlett who I'd drop if we had anyone else we could realistically play in their place.

    Anya Out

    I doubt he would have started, Strachan's choice of wingers were likely to be Forrest and Ritchie IMO. Still, it's a blow as I think he's been a big player for us and would have played a part at some point.
  13. Team I'd like: Gordon Hutton Hanley Martin Robertson Brown D. Fletcher Anya Maloney Naismith Rhodes Team I expect Strachan to play: Marshall Hutton Hanley Martin Whittaker Brown McArthur Ritchie Maloney Forrest S. Fletcher

    Injury Watch

    Agree. Our best performances this campaign have arguably come when Mulgrew been in centre mid beside Brown. He has ability on the ball and is technically very good. Draws a lot of fouls and doesn't give the ball away much, does the simple stuff well. Thought he was brilliant at home to Ireland. Him and Brown would be my first choice for Poland, wouldn't be too disappointed with Brown and Fletcher in there though.
