Scotland Vs. Ukraine on Saturday

[JTG]

But you seem to care...

I care about the English media wibbling on about it like it matters in some way because, even speaking as an English football fan, I don't especially.

I care about our lovely neighbours accusing us of perpetual self indulgence in the fact because, in my experience, it's not really something that's uppermost in anyone's minds, even those who give far more of a shit about the England side than I do.

Quite honestly, a man with a name like Ian Broudie should be ashamed of himself for writing that dross. Like many Scousers, he has Scottish roots. Shame on him!

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Are you sure about that? To hear the media talk you're going to win all cups in all competitions...even with your crap manager and his hopeless squad selections.

Bullshit. I doubt if very many England fans at all expect us to win 2008. Heck, we stlil might not qualify.

You mark my words, in the month or so before the competition, the headlines will all scream the same thing in unison: "We're going to win"! Then we'll all have to sit through the same shite footage from 1966...boring. That's if England gets through.

Do you sweaties who are bitching about not being able to watch the game realise it's on CCTV5, and hence available on each and every streaming program?

3 - 1

For some reason, the site won't let me download the necessary software.

 

[david dissadent]

Brown and McFadden have had great games.

McFadden is a totaly different player in international football. He seems to be really up there.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

No matter, for some reason CCTV5 are showing pool instead. Very odd.

4 points clear of the world champions and the runners up.

Given that France are currently 4-0 up against the faroes with 20min left to play we can assume that they are only 2 points ahead. And Italy are to play Georgia tonight, so barring any surprises it will be back to 1.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

What are the qualification rules?

 

[The Boy]

What are the qualification rules?

top two through isn't it?

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Dunno, that's why I'm asking!

 

[Gingerman]

top two through isn't it?

It'll be some achievement if the Scots qualify from this group

there were 50,000 of them, you'll have to be more specific

As I suspected, top two teams through.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Cheers, thanks.

So basically Scotland are looking at a win and a draw from Georgia away and Italy at home. Unless France slip up against Ukraine.

Think that's the size of it. They could go through with less than that, but it'll be nice for them to have their future in their own hands for a change.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

So a draw in Georgia and then an early lead against Italy, euphoria in Hampden at half-time but then....

 

[stupid kid]

Lmao. Righty-ho. You say so.

Thirty years of hurt. Says it all.

That's right, unless you've won the World Cup in the last few decades you're as shit as your insignificant nearby neighbours.

Great result for the Scots! Nice one.

 

[revol68]

it's such a pity Scotland got that group, by rights the cunting english should have got it instead, then they'd have no hope.

 

[zoltan]

top 2- goal diff for same points doesnt count - its head to head results that decide, so if France DO fuck up and we were level with them on points..........

fantastic result tho.

Scotland seem to be able withstand prolonged periods of battering nowadays

well need to do that when thhe Italians come
