I want Scotland to win at pretty much anything. For me (fourth generation), this is my home and my country. I also want Celtic players to be successful. But the engagement with tonight’s qualifier against Serbia is not there. If I’m really honest, my biggest wish is for Callum McGregor to have a midweek off.
Memories of the 1998 World Cup do not help. Celtic contributed more players to that tournament than any other club in world football. We paid a price the following season as exhaustion took its toll. Do I really want Celtic players on international duty in throughout the summer, before another tortuous European qualification campaign? Do you? No need to pull that plaster off yet.
My country’s position on the international stage has always been viewed through pragmatism. Will it hurt the poor, or the soon-to-be-poor (hmmm)? Will it hurt what I really care about, like Celtic?
So good luck to them tonight, but if we are beaten by the better team, I will be consolable.

Who’s the John Wark look-a-like?
*shudders*
PRESTONPANS BHOYS on 12TH NOVEMBER 2020 9:
I forgot took mcgin aff too
Fanadpatriot: I thought Ireland did well, especially in the first half. England were clinical in front of goal, we weren’t.
I think Stephen Kenny is doing a good job. We are playing decent football – we just need a good finisher in front of goal.
Best of luck to Alba.
So why did he include Griff in the squad?
Home sides Hungary, Northern Ireland and Serbia all score in last 2 minutes of game. Hungary do it twice.
Griff time ?
Under pressure since they took off McGinn & Dykes.
They can’t get control of the ball.
Backs to the wall…
……………..don’t say penalties, please
penalties
Who thinks Jock would have taken off Jinky, Whispy and Bobby off in the last ten minutes at Lisbon?
(Given that subs were allowed of course😀)
Sheffield paid 20 million for Mc Burnie.
;)))))))))
jesus h wits the point of mcburnie…a high quality dumpling imo
The subs he’s brought on are three of the most embarrassingly bad players ever to play for Scotland. With Griff and Armstrong on the bench.
The subs were the mistake here, the game was won and there was no need for them, IMO of course.
where the hell is ‘the griff’ ffs
Doubtless McBurnie is off the staunch variety……………….
Patterson’s mouser is an embarrassment, again IMO :>}
We want Christie to score again.
Backs to the wall stuff, booting it anywhere. We just can’t keep the ball at all now. Be glad to be wrong but this can only end one way.
TET…..
how ye doing?
Is Patterson the John Wark look-a-like?

absolute pish with a capital’P’

BB1
Aye, it’s no the 70s any more FFS :>}
It was literally like having three men sent off
I hope no’
Just realised Christie’s off😂
Pity.
I am sure Ryan and Mc Ginn would have been penalty takers as well.Idiotic subs.
“Richard Gordon

Quote Message: It’s a very different Scotland now, with Oli McBurnie strolling around up front as opposed to Lyndon Dykes giving absolutely everything for the cause.”
There was NO need for the subs, none whatsoever, we ahd the game won, the players were in total control, glorious failure me thinks
Whomever it is up front is showing 10 % of Dykes effort -agreed.
McBurnie laboring already. He looks knackered and has hardly been on.

It was literally like having three men sent off
yep like 3 men playin wi broken legs
Griff on
Griff on 30 minutes late, Clarke’s an arse
Leigh’s sportin’ a rather dodgy shredded-wheat titfer an’ tash combo…………
Slovakia score in Norn Ireland with 10 minutes of ET to go.
Yes classy players like griff and armstrong could hold the ball with technique, I think all that came on were six footers to try and counter their heading/set piece options but they are crap even if they are 6 foot.
