Scottish Fitba'

Sheffield Utd slaughter Hearts 1-0 in a friendly.

I think the opposite to you in that Celtic don’t have enough tough games in the SPFL and this has a knock on effect when they play in Europe.

Big club but they struggle to progress when in Europe and I can’t see how they can change this.

For me the answer to your last paragraph lies with changing the manager
The squad they have should skoosh Wednesdays opposition and its only because of domestic trophies that he's not slayed like Levien was last year

Garbage, the team they played were no mugs, they have been beaten the last 3 seasons by opposition of a similar standard in Europe.
The bottom line is they are not good enough, if they were, they would of won.

Good link here to what I mean.

? once again when one half of the bigot brothers lose a game in Europe it’s the rest of Scottish footballs fault for not being good enough opposition!!

Have either of the two cheeks of the one arse ever lost a game without it being someone else’s fault?

Poo, I think he's tactically out of his depth in Europe

Team selection poor from what I hear, they still aren’t as good as they think they are though, you can’t keep on saying we should of won.....

Watched a bit of the Motherwell Glentoran game until the sending off.
Some exciting attacking skilful football played by both sides.

I would never say 'we' should've won

I hee haw when the cheeks lose,... but when all's said and done a 100 million squad should not be losing those early round ties year after year if they are tactically managed properly

I see a classic Scotland football fiasco is in progress. What a surprise!

Worse than hopeless. Gave up going to games about 25 years ago.

Aye but your noo Scottish you're British , we're on our way with Stevie's army

 

[KenL]

Win one game against an under 18 team and we're world beaters. ?

 

[KenL]

Aye but your noo Scottish you're British , we're on our way with Stevie's army

Indeed but Scotland IS part of GB.?

 

[GreiginFife]

Never in doubt!

I take it the bit missing from that sentence is the words "that Scott Mactominay is not a right back..." ?

 

[Doon frae Troon]

That was a guaranteed Scottish disaster avoided.
'We are definitely on the march'
Stats are scary mind. Czechs had 19 shots.

Stats can be used to make any argument. That being said they played us off the park ?.
Wonder how much we would have got pumped by if the big team had shown up.

A win's s win, any result away from home we'd take. It is pre season for a lot of England based squad.
I still don't have a clue what the Nation's League is.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

On a similar note, can you imagine what the Scotland team would have been if we’d had to do what they did and replace the entire squad in 5 days? And how many we’d have lost by?

Billy Dodds made one up using the same rules.......to be honest it did not look to bad.

Hickey away to Bologna for £1,800,000 despite Celtic being after him.
Not a bad price for an 18 year old with a year left on his contract.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

A win sa win sa win. I have a replanted Rowan tree in my garden that has looked dead for a couple of months, but we have held on in hope and we are very pleased to see new buds appearing...and so with the Scotland footie team. And though I only switched on with 10mins to go - and within three minutes I had to turn over - such as it is when I watch Scotland these day...delighted - I don't care who we were playing

And just wait until Billy Gilmour is fit and strong - running rings round EPL midfields, revved up and raring to take on international midfields. Maybe.

Easier changing the inept clown in charge. ?
