Scotland

[John am Rhein]

why are they playing on a Thursday lunchtime?

 

latest score 3-1, BTW

 

Because it's in Japan (!), I'm informed.

 

Now 4-1.

[matty]

what place has Scotland in a football forum???

[Murphman]

Scotland used to be as good as England. I mean permanently as good as England yet now they are shyte and have been for ages.

 

The country which produced the likes of Dalglish, Buchan, Johnstone, Souness, McGrain, Bremner, Baxter and McAllister now has not one decent player.

 

Funny ain't it?

Scotland win 5-1

 

Scotland went through a really bad spell post Craig Brown as no new players really came into the setup for years. They've got some really promising younger players now (Burke and Boyd of Rangers have come on leaps and bounds this year and both scored twice today).

 

They've got a fairly decent first eleven now (several of whom were missing today as Celtic wouldn't release players so they could play in a couple of testamonials!). The problem is once you go down the rankings it gets tough to improve as you get drawn in very tough qualification groups. (for Euro 2008 Scotland have to qualify against France, Italy and Ukraine for example)

Superb result

 

No watch Japan cuff us 12-0 on Saturday
