Салатные палочки Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Anyone taking an interest in this tonight? It's only a friendly but still an important game in terms of Auld Eck's first game back. Would love to see McLaughlin get a half and Paterson start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I feel a bitter arsehole for half hoping we get humped tonight... I've no faith in the SFA going forward or seemingly-past-it big Eck and can't be arsed with another 3 years of his drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meister Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I think both will feature to be honest. While McLeish wasn't anyone's first choice he seems to be making the right noises. Youngsters getting a chance, playing with a 'swagger', I'm all for that. Costa Rica ain't dafties though, be interesting to see how they adapt to the conditions but they'll be good opposition.

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Looking forward to it. In the minority I know but I'm reasonably happy having McLeish back. We do have a decent crop of youngish players now that could achieve more than we've seen in the last 20 years if they are allowed to play with confidence and a bit of attacking intent.

Pistol1874 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I think Scotland have as good a pool of players to pick from as there has been in a while. Heading along tonight as my son wanted to go, hopefully see a decent performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantjambo Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Despite my displeasure at the appointment of McLeish and the squad he’s picked, I’ll be supporting as always.

SuperstarSteve Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Personally no longer interested, we have a great crop of youngsters coming through but as proven already, Souttar and the likes will miss out in favour of certain clubs players, when mcleish was appointment that was it for me, after we could and should have had Michael o’neill, we ended up with a guy who was part of the biggest scandal in Scottish football? For no reason other than helping him pay off his tax bill? As bitter as it sounds, I refuse to support the bowling club committee any longer and I personally believe that because everyone continues to support the nation no matter what, that nothing will ever change. A massive Fair play to those still supporting and showing their loyalty. I don’t know how you do it, last 6 years have kicked the stuffing out of my Love for he game, the way the SFA go about their business is just horrendous, if it wasn’t for the famous, I don’t think I’d even watch football anymore.

kirkierobroy Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Take a book and a sleeping bag and food supplies if you are going. Aitkenhead Road shut near the stadium so the 75 bus will be diverted, one of the Hampden Car Parks is also shut and the SFA aren't running dedicated buses this time, so after-match buses services will be at Friday Night levels, ie, ye're better walking back tae the city centre. SFA contempt for fans continues. I'll be there, but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your attitude is sadly the norm it seems (I kinda share it except the wanting us to get humped part). Comments on here like “I wouldn’t open the curtains” are the product of our situation. There is not even a tiny part of me that thinks we will qualify for the next tournament. I’ve had many “that is me done now” moments in the past 20 years but continued to get sucked in, but I really think that now I actually am.

I’ve followed Scotland around the world but they can get tae i mind when Jamie Walker was on fire for us in our first season back in the Prem and Strachan snubbed him yet picked Forrest who had done nothing that season and McGinn who was a championship player!

letsalldothebeattie Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I’ll be watching but first home game I’ve missed since the euro campaign.

Less than half full as well great sign for the SFA.

Gav M Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 pretty sure that hearts requested Berra and Souter not be included due to niggling injuries. doesn't change my general malaise toward the national team, however I am interested in what the introduction of the youngsters will do for us (also quite like the idea of McFadden being involved, if his his onfield nonchalance and arrogance can rub of on the youngsters are get them playing in the same fearless way then it can only be a good thing) however, not sure 'big eck' is the best one to lead them.

The Old Tolbooth Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 All very non plussed with Scotland these days, McLeish lived off the back of a very good Walter Smith side who almost qualified for a major tournament, and then he pissed off when the first shitty little skanky English club came along, I have never rated Eck as a manager, and I can't see him doing anything for us now either, it's just another "jobs for the boys" appointment because Eck needed a job, and we couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery which was proved when we couldn't lure O'Neill to take the job, utter arseholes, the lot of them! A large part of me wants this latest appointment to be a complete failure to ram it right up our corrupt little organisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Just now, TypoonJambo said: You mean “potential Hearts target, fat Charlie Adam”? He’s probably the closest by Scottish standards in having a bit class coupled with experience. Scotland always seem to have plenty potential quality but they never really seem to be of a high standard come their mid to late 20s. Maybe one or two but never half a team which would maybe give us a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
