Was wondering how many bhoys n ghirls on here are goin to the scotland game next week ?

ChampionsElect · 05-10-2008, 02:26 PM

Yup I'll be there. Should be a good day with a party afterwards.

Also glad to see we are having a friendly with Argentina now with better prices.

aye that should be good lol
broadfoot will give messi a run for his money

prices for friendlys last year were shockin though

Firstly, even though we are at home - I think we should play a 4-3-3/4-5-1 formation, Scotland can't play to a 4-4-2 as we don't have 2 strikers capable enough.

We MUST win this & I'm surprised to say this but I'd put in Iwelumo, he's having a good season in decent league & has the physical presence to cope as a lone striker against Norway.

-------------------------Gordon
------------Caldwell------------------Weir
Broadfoot-----------------------------------Naysmith

----------Brown--------Fletcher------Robson

Maloney------------------------------------McFadden
-----------------------Iwelumo

Maybe I'm just cynical but I expect a lot of Rangers players to pull out of the squad in the coming days.

Must win for Scotland, a win and we're back on track for 2010.

i must say,im a bit of a glory-hunter when it comes to scotland,i only really get interested when we are world beaters.

That would be my line up with Boyd in for Iwelumo although I was surprised to hear his Scottish accent today on Goals on Sunday!

Carew is the player that worries me for this one. I don't think we have th e height to match him. Maybe Broadfoot will handle it

I think Thomson will be ruled out again after getting carried off the park today which is understandable for a change.

I don't think Boyd has the workrate or the physical presence (although he is big, he's a kinda shitbag), plus he's not really been playing regulary.

Aye, I agree with all that and I'm not a fan of Boyds but I just think he could get us a goal as I imagine a large part of the game will be played in their half which suits his game.

He sure is a fooking goal machine, he goal/games ratio is immense.

Just haveto wait & see I suppose.

I just hope Burley doesn't try 4-4-2 again, cos we are shite with that formation.

**Ricardinho** · 05-10-2008, 09:00 PM

Has anyone actually seen Iwelumo play? Just curious about what type of striker he is.

You're right there. Miller and McFadden are not a good pairing anyway. The 4-3-3 at home should work as long as Maloney and Faddy go very direct and the full backs get forward.

Hopefully a good 3 points!

neverwalkalone · 06-10-2008, 04:36 AM

I'll be there! Cannae wait!
