i8hibsh Posted October 9, 2019 Must win for no other reason then the worlwide beamer it would give us if we lose. Apart from that it is a pointless game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kila Posted October 9, 2019 It'll be a shite attendance, so Scotrail will just be milking the marketing opportunity to make it look like they care about football and are putting extra carriages on when they aren't really But I guess must win because if we lose at home to San Marino, then there really is no ****ing point to the men's team anymore.

Stavropol Posted October 9, 2019 Extra trains for the smallest crowd. The German league has free transport for everyone who has a ticket for a game all day. We provide "extra" trains for the smallest game! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heartsfc_fan Posted October 9, 2019 Better playing this at Tynecastle or Easter Road. But no. The comfort blanket of Hampden Park for a few of the big wigs in the boardroom is enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davemclaren Posted October 9, 2019 It’s important for getting the team/squad ready for the qualifier next year, and our coefficient. I’m off to see Scotland abroad for the first time ever next month in Cyprus. Seemed a good idea when we planned it last year. 🤷🏼♂️ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heartsofgold Posted October 10, 2019 Honestly couldn't give a flying **** about the national team just now. We are shite and this will not change until there is a fundamental shift if=n the attitude of Scottish football at all levels. In other words we will continue to be shite and getting shiter by the year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Used to go to the old Hampden in the seventies and eighties to watch the likes of Souness, Dalglish and Jordan and it was a fantastic experience Nowadays if I won a ticket for free hospitality and free travel would give it away in a flash.

Mikey1874 Posted October 10, 2019 0-0 half time at Tynie U21s. Another depressing sight of where we are. (Watched U19s last night) Good endeavour. Can pass across the pitch, create some chances against limited opposition and get crosses in. But the quality isn't there. 3 great chances missed. No one really standing out. Future not looking great. Oh and Porteous will get sent off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
