iantjambo Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Here we go again. First of our Euro qualifying double header. We really should be taking full points from our opening two games, but it Is Scotland we’re talking about. We’re coming off the back of two good wins in the Nations League, so confidence should be high. Robertson and Tierney both miss out but could be fit for Sunday’s game. Both Ryan Fraser and Callum Paterson won’t be risked on Kazakhstan’s artificial pitch. 3 o clock kick off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenor Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Looking at the full Kazakhstan squad, they've only scored a total of 27 international goals between them. Then I looked at the Scotland squad, who've scored a total of 9 goals between them. Not great. SURELY we can add to this sad total over the next 2 games.

letsalldothebeattie Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Early finish today and home to watch this. No idea why because I have no great expectations for this game. The squad doesn’t fill me with any great optimism for these two games. Going for a sluggish Heartsesque 1-0 win for Scotland.

It’s being held on the local equivalent of New Year’s Day and their will be massive security focus on any gatherings after the president of 30-odd years unexpectedly resigned.

RudiHMFC Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I'm concerned about the amount of players missing, although Kazakhstan are pretty shite they've drew with Poland, Romania and Iceland in recent times, could be a tricky one for us like.

William H. Bonney Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The euros and the world cup are my favourite tournaments to watch. 11 men playing for their country, all egos are left at home. I'm excited for this campaign and I think we have a decent squad. There are those who have no faith in the manager but we should get behind him whilst he is in charge. 2-0 to Scotland.

I take it scott brown didn't find this one glamorous enough to make a come back and Tierney has started the excuses. what a sham of a national team we have, they really inspire nationalism with their whole heartedness to the cause, as long as it doest interfere with an uglies derby or important game.

Eck shouldn't be near the post but he doesn't have Strachan's preference for any bench-warning English League 1 bloke whose granny visited Gretna Green once over anyone with a non-OF Scottish team. That said, today I see a shaky 1-0 Scotland lead until Kazakh equalise in injury time, Eck afterwards talking about 'lots of positives'. Eedjit that I am, I've bought a season for the home qualifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
