briever Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 3 hours ago, Rudy T said: In years gone by I’d really fear for Scotland in this game, a highly motivated Ukraine side against a number of tired Scotland players looking forward to their summer holidays, would have defeat written all over it. However we do seem to have a team willing to give their all for the jersey so fingers crossed they see it as two games maximum effort then they get their rest. Most of the side will have had the last fortnight off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one, it's hugely disrespectful to professional players who want to win on merit. It's not the fn Eurovision song contest ! If they win, let it be by their endevours and not by anything else. It's also disrespectful to Scotland who will, quite rightly, be going all out to qualify. Qatar getting the gig in the first place was a bit of a farce, don't make it an even bigger one by saying Ukraine should win the whole thing. Nonsense by Souness.

gregzy2k7 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Forgot this was on, until I checked the dates lol 😆 I for one would like Scotland to do it, the main reason being to see Craig Gordon play at a World Cup finals, he absolutely deserves it after the career he has had and also been robbed of through injuries etc And lastly It would also be cool to be at the party for once instead of supporting ABE from the start.

Ex member of the SaS Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Ukraine have had all the sympathy the are going to get. This is a football tournament and has nothing to do with world politics. We should be going out to win and if they lose and go out then so be it. The song contest was a farce( never watched or listened to any of it and never will ) as they were not the best song. Time to show no matter how much sympathy you have for their plight it ends when the whistle blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 This game of football has absolutely nothing to do with anything on the geo political stage. Sport is sport - **** Ukraine! Any Scotland 'fan' who wants anything but a Scottish victory can **** right off. Do you think for one second that Ukraine would give the slightest shiney shite about us, or in anyway go easy on us if the situation was reversed. Come on Scotland!
